I have a 360 and love the Live, i will get a PS3 to plays game slike MGS4, GOW3 and uncharted which are more single player orientated(not because i dont like PSN), but cos i dont have any friends for PSN.
The_Crucible said: Here are some counter arguments: in the end, i probably will get a PS3 in 2009 now, probably during the Q3, thanx for the advice!
"It doesn't matter if it is spring of 2007, spring of 2008, winter of 2008, or spring of 2009, it's time to get a PS3. Subjective
Why? Because it will give you the best all-around experience of ANY of the three consoles. Subjective
Why? Because you not only get some of the best HD gaming, you also get free online play, free access to PSN (downloads, Home, etc), you get the blu-ray player, free wifi, sixaxis (yes, it works and its cool), and all of the excellent exclusives. granted, free online is cool, but there nothing on the PS3 that i would say "theres no way in hell the 360 can do this!", Sixaxis, humm...
Now, I can see if you are a teenager or a young adult how you might be making a big penny stretch for a PS3. And I can see that, that type of gamer may not get the full PS3 experience due to no HDTV, small living space, etc. My roommate does have a 40 inch HDTV, living space is a bit small(thats the trade off)
But for an older gamer, one who needs to enetertain many types and ages of people, it doesn't get batter than PS3. im not old
My PS3 is on, at least, 7 hours a day. 3 of those hours are my gameplay. The rest is dedicated to my 1.5 year old son, wife, and other gamers in my home. lol, if my 360 does that, i will get another RROD lol.
Most of what I do with the PS3 can NOT be done on the Wii. And some of it can't be done on 360 out of the box. Vice versa as well, Wii and 360 got stuff PS3 doesnt.
If you really look at the pricing of the 360 and the PS3 for what you get for what you need, PS3 is a great deal. There are lots of stuff in the PS3 i dont really need.
Try really enjoying an 360 without a HDD. Try really enjoying your 360 when you have a large living space and you have no wifi. Try sayig blu-ray is mediocre once watching them on a HDTV. Bluray is great, but got a blu ray player for it.
Then go try and fix those missing needs by spending more money on 360 than your initial investment. Then realize you still have no blu-ray. im happy with a 60gb pro.
thanx for the advice, i will delay my purchase of the PS3, maybe to after E3(to see if there gunna be a price cut). i guess i will spend my christmas with my 360 and waiting for the next decent wii game while it collects dust.
"I was in the same predicament as yourself, and the answer buy a PS3 and u wanna know why blu-ray baby yeah."
the problem is that i alreadt own a blu-ray player as a gift (blu-ray is great), but spending 400$ on a console is quite a large investment cos i just finished college, and i wanted the PS3 to worth every cent i paid.
I currently a happy owner of a 360 and a wii, but with he recent trailer for GOW3 and uncharted 2 and killzone 2 is really tempting me to get a Ps3 for christmas. my main reason is that 2009 seems to be the "year of PS3", but i am also really worried considering how 2008 went for the PS3, should i get a PS3 now or maybe during 2009 when the supposed price cut comes? thanx.
please, no fanboy replies, like "PS3 rules, 360 sux"
