Guys I need to know if I get a ps3 it is going to be a BIG deal I'll have to pay around 900$ for a 80G psp or even a 30G is like 850$ and the games are like 80$ to 100$


Is it worth it ????????????????

My friend, I think it will be a great investment. Not only will Sony lead the console war by the end of this generation, they are also thinking to the future. Blu-Ray, better hardware, all the boring details add up to a greater machine. The discs hold more content. The PS3 runs smoothly, without a sound. Compared to the 360, it's stealthier than Snake. Which brings me to my next point: exclusives. Metal Gear Solid 4 is revolutionary - you can't play it anywhere else. And it's well worth the money. Online gaming is free. Unlike Microsoft, Sony doesn't make its users pay for the rights to play their favorite games online. Oh, and the PS3 is more reliable. It won't break down, unlike that other noisy console ...

In conclusion, purchasing a Sony Playstation 3 is well worth it.

That information is all kinds of wrong. I'm not sure what country you are in but in the US the PS3 80gig bundle with MGS4 is $500 and the 40gig model is $400. Games are like $60 and less.

Its only a good investment if you think you will buy games from Sony.

as his using $ signs and its at the 800 mark id say his talking about AUS or NZ

if you dont care about playing AUS or NZ dvd/blue-ray movies and waiting for post pick yourself up one from play-asia.com it works out cheaper
games are region free dvds and blue ray movies are not
if you plan to use it as a blue-ray player down the track you will have to buy US blue-rays (also cheaper)

game wise you have
little big planet, res fall of man 2 and kill zone 2

It really depends on what you are looking for in a gaming console. MS has more games but has more issues. PS3 has a Blu Ray drive which is great if you have an HDTV. I have both and I think they are both great. I do play more games on the Xbox tho.

If you want it and are planning to play a lot of PS3 games then get it...Don't look at it as a investment...it's not going to be a system thats value increases lol...Though I am a bit curious as to where you live as well because that is quite a bit of money for a PS3.

if you really want it get it :)

Yea its worth it.

I don't think anyone can really tell you if it's worth it. Just look at the PS3's library and it's upcoming games, and decide if you want a PS3.
PS3 are fairly good and MSG4 is an excellent game, personally though I prefer my Xbox 360 for XBL and it's game library. (Not trying to start a fanboy war.)

IMO I think it is a good decsion

Is that worth it yeah I would say I have had my PS3 for a over a year and I use it all the time to play games and watch movies. it feeds my HD needs. I also have a 360 and a Wii but the PS3 gets the most playtime these days.

He's probably from Australia.

That's a bit too much. Even if you live in Australia. I did the currency converter.  900 AUD = 864.207 USD. I dunno. I'd recommend buying one overseas.

If you want a PS3 more than you want a 360 or Wii, then obviously buy the PS3.

First we need to know where you exactly live. That would help a lot.

Not even I paid anywhere close to $800 when I bought mine last year ...

So I'd say New Zealand since their economy is worse than ours.

Could be I guess. $800 is ridiculous though.
"

Indeed. But you could probably get it for cheaper on Ebay, with the same region code as his own.

Yeah it is,but I think $800 would still be worth it though.

If it was gold plated.  $800 could get you a decent HDTV.

That is a ton of money, it all depends on what you are willing to spend, do you live in Britain? Is that why it is so expensive?
"

No I live in Sri Lanka and we use the rupees it's 1us$ = 100Rs :(


and when I got my 360 it was about 700US$

Oh but games for my ps2 when i had it like 2 years back were like 2US$ each i have over 500 :P

A video game system would never be worth $900 to me.

Ouchhhh.

I have a choice at the end of the year I will have the money it will go one of 2 ways now

1. A PS3

or

2. A 360 elite for witch i can get games for 10US$ CUZ IT IS HACKED :D:D:D

If you like the games, yes.
The hardware is good also.

I think its worth it, its an investment that will last you a hell of a long time, no way you could go wrong with it.

Thanks guys any way I have to wait till dec to get the thing :P:P:P

What's the benefits like with Sony? Company Car?
"

will do dude :P

All in all yes, just for tekken and god of war 3.

$800? Hold out a bit longer.

I think it is worth it, if you want to enjoy High definition DVD's on blu-ray or you want to enjoy some of PS3's exclusive games like Resistance, Uncharted, Ratchet and clank, MGS4, infamous and Little Big Planet. Free online is definitely a plus.

Well if you have a HDTV I guess it would be a waste not to watch Blu-ray.

If you think owning the most technologically advanced system and most bada$$ system on the market today would be good then buy one my friend. The PS3 wont dissapoint! As a matter of fact nothing made by Sony will dissapoint!
