Someone convince me that a PS3 is worth buying Vol. 1000th Post

[livewyre]

I had both systems till my launch 360 rroded on me for the 4th time. Instead of buying a new 360 i just bought a new video card for my pc. Now i can play all the xbox exclusives ( really not a bunch coming down the pike other than splinter cell and alan wake) and I can play all multi plats and ps3 exclusives.

Also the psn movie store is > 360s. Add in free wifi, a more diverse library, free online (bought a 1 year xboxlive subscription a month b4 my 360 died), free rechargeable controller, bluray player ( I can't stand watching dvds anymore), and arguably the best first party development house in the game right now.

Now play God of War 3

BTW Uncharted 2 is that game.

I got the GOW1/2 combo so once i get through those I'll get GOW3

My Man. GOW has to be a great series...even tho the story is mad predictable. Expect blood...lots of it

And blu-ray was a gimmick for the ps3 when it first came out, who buys their game system just to watch dvd's?

1. Still the fact of PAYING...u know what i can do with $24?? buy a pizza from papa johns, a bag of some fine essences and a dutch while i still get to play MW2 for the FREE.

2. YNS

Some people buy the PS3 because you get the luxury of the blu ray also.  Better than just buying a Blu Ray player

360 cats have NEVER been able to answer that question...

Only thing I have ever heard is no cross-game chat.

But who cares? I want to talk to someone who isn't playing the same game, I'll call them.
 

I really wanna hear the reason why it's worlds better than PS3 still after 3 years of hearing such.

What does live have that trumps good connection and me having a mic.

It's the whole Xbox Live format, its way better than PS3's which is different for every game & pretty confusing at times

And I have a 360....

I love how this turns into 360 v. PS3. Dude owns a 360, no need to convince him to appreciate it. Why don't you leave the country or go to a baseball game or something? If you really have this much free time you should be able to at least start some sort of project or get an internship or expand your knowledge in a non-scholastic environment. Build a boat, fix a computer, rent a jet ski, take a shower. Do something that doesn't require you to sit in front of a tv. No, I'm not some broke/jealous herb. I own two 360s but there's no reason to think you can only entertain yourself w/a gaming console.

Pretty much. Son just said the XMB changes in every game.

No offense, but like some other dude used to say in these 360 vs. PS3 threads, the 360 makes its users stupid.

You can even have it sign-in automatically.

And that still doesn't actually answer any questions, it just lists a preference.

what?  youre going to do the same thing if any other hard drive in your house fails, what if your memory card fails?

plus
web browsing
stream or download any movie/cd (without netflix)
less bulky controllers


I currently have about 60 or so movies on my ps3 and about 50 complete CDs along with about 200 pics. honestly wether you go with 360 or ps3 you win either way.

how u do that? i just got my ps3 2 weeks ago

just do a search. there is hundreds of sites compatable with PS3 for streaming and downloading pretty much any movie you want. also you can always do the whole linux thing but I haven't really messed with that. a few good ones are www.stagevu.com and www.ps3divx.blogspot.com and for music www.downloads.nl and www.mp3bomb.com are good for downloading on the ps3.

I went to my local MicroCenter to pick up a 120GB PS3 but they were out. BestBuy will have it in stock, right?

Thanks again OP for the console flame war that you mindlessly started. . . I bet you already have a PS3 and you just wanted to instigate a heated thread.

I'm getting a PS3 in 2 months. Already got a few games lined up (Bad Company 2, MGS4, LBP). CAN'T WAIT

also for those who said Blue Ray is a PS3 Gimmick. Yeah Kinda like HD DVD's for Xbox that you actually had to buy a converter for and we all know how that worked out.......BLUE RAY>>>HD DVD.

"It's the whole Xbox Live format, its way better than PS3's which is different for every game & pretty confusing at times"I own a Ps3 and i understand what he's sayin (jbug and someone else)I wanna play bigs2 online. I send invites, i get invites. i dont have the slightest clue how to accept them. and its not in my inbox. I dont know if theres a difference for xbox (so its not a point for xbox, lol) but i have an issue with the online play between different games.

if you're going to cheerlead for PS3, at least get the name of the format right. it's BLU ray

they call it the yellow light or somethin similar. I would say its not similar cause i can count on 1 hand how many times ive read about it. RROD is/has affected just about every xbox owner ive known.
