      I think the OP meant exclusives. Therefore, you only have 9 games.

      Pretty sure he was talking exclusives here, which would knock off a few on your list.

      Definitely Wipeout HD. That game is awesome for a download. I really like Siren Blood Curse too but I suppose it's not everyone cup of tea.

      Resistance 2 is going to be bloody amazing if you're a fan of arcadey online shooters. In fact that game is so rewarding and 8 player co-op has so much more depth than you could ever imagine for a shooter.

      Honestly it will lose to the review score battles next to Gears and Halo 3 but it shouldn't be overlooked because if the beta proves anything it proves that it's going to be one of the most rewarding shooters ever. The depth to which the modes run is astounding - where you garner experience from playing single player, online co-op and online competitive. It doesn't sound amazing in words but from what I've played this system is far more rewarding than CoD4's - although note the game plays very differently.

      It's hard to put your finger on why Insomniac's games are so good sometimes... they just are.

      Also they're a long way off but don't forget Heavy Rain and God Of War III.

      I mean you obviously already own a 360 so if you're holding out for Resident Evil 5 and Street Fighter and stuff then maybe it's not worth making the switch yet... having said that it all depends what you like.

      Give us some clues on the type of games you like etc?

      We're pretty much covered everything anyway.

        Dude, if you wait til there is a backlog of 15 games you didn't play by the time you finally get the system, you will not get through all of them or will not enjoy them. That is because some of them will seem old (graphically or gameplay wise), and you will be disappointed. Are you looking to compliment your 360 with a PS3? Then you don't need 15 games. But however if you are looking to replace the 360 with the PS3, then I would actually say wait til your current 360 red rings on you.

        If you need anymore topics to think about, just remember, the PS2 is still somewhat supported now. The original Xbox was dropped like a bad date as soon as the 360 came out. Don't think MS won't do the same thing the next cycle.

        Yes. Spot on. I'm somewhat amazed by the number of games people manage to "play" on these forums.

        I mean let's face it, the three big Sony exclusives this year Metal Gear Solid, Little Big Planet and Resistance 2 have a combined play time of at least 200 hours... even though it's arguable the LBP appeal could run for years.

        Seriously it'll take a good 40 hours to enjoy MGS4 2-3 times, it's said that Resistance 2 will take like 150 hours to rank up all levels and complete the campaign and stuff and finally LBP is like unlimited. You can play it as much or as a little as you like. But if you take the philosopy that you won't see EVERYTHING in these three games there is still a good 200 hours worth of gaming here. That's before you even touch Wipeout HD which took me 14 hours to complete the campaign and set some high scores.  And of course you'll want to try out the likes of Uncharted and Ratchet & Clank so there's another 18 hours.

        How much time do you have because PS3 can fill it on exclusives alone. Not to mention those multiplatform games do actually get released on Sony systems you know.

        I bought a PS3 for Little Big Planet alone. Although I still bought Ratchet and Clank & Resistance.

        Kind of dissapointed with Resistance.

        "Exclusives?

        • Metal Gear Solid 4 (Never played this game, but going back and playing the earlier ones after a year or two, really sours my opinion of them. I'm very wary of this game.)
        • Wipeout HD (I hate racing games)
        • Resistance 2 (It seems like it could be a cool game, even if it's pretty unoriginal. Not really a game that I'd be willing to shell out $600 for.)
        • Little Big Planet (This game looks really cool, and the reviews definatlymake it a whole lot more enticing.)
        • Motorstorm 1 (I hate racing games)
        • Motorstorm 2 (I can't fucking stand racing games)
        • Final Fantasy 13 Versus (Don't care. At all.)
        • Warhawk (Meh.)
        • Ratchet and Clank: ToD (Don't care.)
        • Uncharted (A lot of people have told me this game is horrible.)
        • Killzone 2 (Killzone 1 had cool trailers too, yet it disappointed on a major scale.If this game turns out good I will change my user icon to a Furby until the hype around it dies down.)
        • Resistance 1 (see: Resistance 2^^^)
        • Heavenly Sword (Meh.)
        • Ninja Gaiden Sigma (Why would I want to play a remake of a game I've already played? For the slight improvements?)
        • Folklore (Never heard of it until now. It's a Japanese game, (of which I'm not a fan of) and it has a 75% on Metacritic, and a 77% on Game Rankings. Very very not interested.)

        Probably missing a few I could substitute in. You didn't say upcoming, so I assume it didn't matter. (I did add them)"
        I'm not saying that the PS3 is a bad system. Not at all. There's just nothing on it that interests me that isn't on the Xbox 360, a console of which I already own.

        • Uncharted (A lot of people have told me this game is horrible.)
        • Folklore (Never heard of it until now. It's a Japanese game, (of which I'm not a fan of) and it has a 75% on Metacritic, and a 77% on Game Rankings. Very very not interested.)

        Probably missing a few I could substitute in. You didn't say upcoming, so I assume it didn't matter. (I did add them)"
        I'm not saying that the PS3 is a bad system. Not at all. There's just nothing on it that interests me that isn't on the Xbox 360, a console of which I already own."
        i haven't met anyone that didn't like uncharted.

        i understand why you wouldn't want a ps3 then if your not really interested in any of the games.

        I think you accidentally -1'd everyone's posts, whoever you are. It's okay though, I fixed it for you.
