I have been toying with idea for a while, and I was thinking that I can still get a rediculous amount of money for my Wii on eBay. So should I sell my Wii and get the 80 GB PS3 this fall?

Thanks

Febuary 2009

KILLZONE 2 Baby, and then get LBP its only 39.99 on PSN

and then your set...

Yeah I think you should.

Sorry buddy, it couldn't be worst. Final Fantasy XIII was just announced to head to the 360 and have been losing a lot of exclusive lately. It is the best way to get a blu ray player though.

yea , true about the 360 getting alot of the ps3 exclusives, and at 300$ thats pretty enticing. But for some reason, I just feel theres so much more to come for the ps3. I dont know, its just a great system and definitely worth it. I still find its such a hard ass choice between that and the 360...theyre both soo good ahhhhh.

When you could get one with solid backwards compatibility would have been the time to buy a PS3 if you ask me.

It is a good time to buy one. I'm really starting to think about it as well.

Honestly, I just cleared MGS4 and now I can't think why I even own one.  I have a 360 too, and there's nothing exclusive to the PS3 I'm bothered about right now.  Killzone 2 doesn't interest me at all.  My PS3 has become a Blu-Ray player, more or less.  Unless you NEED to play Killzone 2, LittleBigPlanet, or one of the other limited number of exclusives, I wouldn't bother.

Well then.. go for it!

I say buy one now, cuz the current 80 gigs have backwards compatibility with most PS2 games, the 80 gig coming this fall won't. It's the 40 gig, I'm not sure but I don't even think it has PS1 BC.

Yea dude you should get one since this fall its going to be loaded with hopefully amazing games, and more to come next spring.

I think it would be a great time for you to buy a PS3! I have had mine for about 8 months and love it. Especially with games like Resistance 2 and Little Big Planet coming out, it's a great time to have one!

Note: I don't care about Final Fantasy either.

Oh yeah, the Ratchet and Clank series is exclusive to Sony systems, makes it even more worth it.

Go with the 60 gig PS3..... it has near perfect backwards compatibility due to the emotion engine.  The emotion engine was removed from all PS3 to cut back on manufacturer costs so they could lower the price for consumers.

I've been toying with the idea too... But I'm still not sure.  It feels like they come out with a new SKU every month.  It just depends whether or not the models are going to get better or worse, while you either wait for them to get better and/or more exclusives.  As it stands for me right now, I only really want Resistance, and MAYBE Ratchet and Clank.  I'd say count up all the games you want, if you can list 5 "MUST HAVE" games, I'd go for it.  I'm going to wait until Killzone 2 is released unless Sony decides to trash Backwards Compatibility entirely... than I'll get one right away.

The 80 gig ps3 is what I'm waiting for, well that and LBP, I realllly want to play that game.

anytime is a good time to buy one of the current gen consoles. I say don't sell your Wii, and save your money and buy the PS3. The PS3 is great, but don't over look the 360 also, it is a great gaming machine.

Yeah you definitely should. 80GB at $399 is an awesome price.

If you want 'full' backwards compatibility, grab an 80GB now.  From what I gathered from E3 the $399 80GB is just like the current 40's only with a larger drive.

In a word

YES

It really depends if you have a 360 or not. The 360 is a definite buy over the PS3. They have pretty much the same games except most are better on the 360 with a stable online system and Achievements across the board. Not to mention 360 versions of multiplatform games are the main sku while PS3 versions are usually ports.

Now if you already have a 360 then I say; why not get a PS3? I just got a PS3 as a matter of fact. I bought a 20gb PS3 on ebay for $340 and am going to hop on MGS4 right now. I got a 160gb hdd on newegg and the 20gb version has complete backwards compatibility unlike the 80gb version which has emulation. If you care about b/c then I say go on ebay and get a 20gb and then upgrade the hard drive.

Most definitely man. The PS3 has an amazing game lineup this year and the next and with the new 80gb price drop, it's worth it. Only thing you'll lose with the new 80gb model is the Backwards compatibility  with PS2 games, but that,s no biggie.

In about a month or two

depends on what type of game you want to play. you obviously got your wii for a reason. the ps3 offers a whole different experience.

Have to disagree with that, I think if you have a 360, by 09 it will be a perfect time to trade it in for a PS3. There is just not enough content left, other then Gears 2 and Fable 2, mainly, its just not worth owning over the PS3. In 08 for example, there are way more PS3 big titles then there is on 360, and that will continue in 09 and 2010. If you DONT have either, or if you do have a 360, PS3 is a worthy buy for sure. Especially for people without either, I mean they dont care about games from 2006 that dont have trophies, they care about the here and now, and lots of games are getting trophies, mandatory soon (09), so thats not an issue, and niether is multiplat games, PSN is great and has no problem when it comes to 'stability', and note that many games are now starting to make PS3 the lead platform now that they know the system more, and its easier to port from PS3 to 360 then vice versa. So IMO the points you make dont quite apply to someone who has yet to buy a console.

PS- Love your avatar, totally caught my eye so I had to go to your profile to see the full shot, lol.

You should totally buy a ps3.

Yes, you should buy a ps3. With all the current game titles and the great games coming this year and the next now couldn't be a better time to buy a ps3.

Depends what games you like and what systems you own.

If you own a 360, then don't bother. PS3 and 360 have a pretty similar catalog of  games (besides the games that came out on 360 before the PS3 came out), the only real difference being 1st party created titles.

If you don't have a 360, then look at the exclusive titles for PS3 and 360 and decide what you want more. I suppose PS3 has an edge as its also a Blu-Ray player, but if your looking for something that plays...y'know...games, its really all about the exclusives.

Either way I would say sell your Wii. Your probably won't be needing one anytime soon.

I want LBP for PC. DO IT!

"I want LBP for PC. DO IT!"

You should NOT sell your wii, because a used wii probably goes for 100 bucks average, and then get an XBOX 360 in addition to it, because they are pretty much the greatest thing since fresh air.

LOL.

Fresh Air > Xbox 360.

Buying a PS3 or 360 at this time is prime

What's with all the Microsoft Trool's trying to paint a Negative picture at one of the best times to have a PS3.

A year ago every port was better on the 360, they where losing exclusives left and right, the 360 had a better line up and so on. Now that was a year ago.
So far they have Gained Exclusives such as Bioshock, Masseffect, Left4Dead, Multi plats over all with only a few exceptions looks the same and of course depending one what ones personal preference is the line-up is both great in there respective ways.

Now if i could only get one i would personally get the PS3 over the 360 when it comes to the exclusive line up, but that is unfair because DISGEA3 is so far up on my list of games i have to play no matter what that even if the 360 came out with the most awesome game ever made i would not care.

LittleBigPlanet. Enough said

I couldn't agree more.

It has a great library now matching the 360 one, a lot of multiplatform games and some great first and second party exclusives. It is a Blu-Ray player too and it will play the most part of your ps2/ps1 library so you can have only one Sony console in your living room

yes it is a good time to buy a PS3

don't do it, glupor

if your into blue ray at all, and don't really care about fable, gears, halo, and other 360 exclusives, go ahead and grab a ps3.  but either is better than a wii at this point

Ok, so, I didn't read through all the posts in this thread but heres how I'm looking at it right now.

I own neither a 360 or PS3 currently.  I have a Wii, but that lost its novelty fast.  I will be getting either a 360 or PS3 soon, so I'm looking at upcoming exclusives coming out.  For me, the upcoming exclusives that I personally am interested are:

PS3:
Killzone 2
Resistance 2
Gran Turismo 5
Socom
M.A.G.

360:
Gears of War 2

I'm not a fan of RPG's, so that cuts out a few 360 exclusives, not to mention I could care less about Final Fantasy 13 (which everyone seems to act like its not coming out on PS3 anymore and its so tragic...).  I also don't really care about stuff like Little Big Planet for PS3, so my list might be larger to someone else.

So, as you can see...I'm pretty weighed heavily towards the PS3.  Even if I cut out every other game on the PS3 list except Socom, I would still take it over Gears 2...as I used to be a huge Socom fan.  Plus I look back on the games already out for PS3...Metal Gear Solid 4, Ratchet and Clank: Tools of Destruction (not to mention the upcoming Quest for Booty), and more.  Even some of the Playstation Network Games, such as EchoChrome and Fl0w I plan on picking up.  Now I'm sure some of the 360 guys could come up with a list of great games already out for 360 I could get, but cut out any of the RPGs and anything with Halo on it...I'm not sure if there are a ton of EXCLUSIVES that they have that I would want.  I really believe 2008 and 2009 will be the turnaround years for the PS3...so, I plan on picking one up so I can be apart of it :D
