Is a playstation 3 worth it?

May be...

I have a xbox 360. The only reason i want a PS3 is for the games that are only for ps3. like metel gear solid, god of war 3, little big planet, stuff like that. I want to know if its worth it for 400$. THANK YOU.

Glad you asked this. I have convinced so many people to get the Playstation because I love it to death. It is such a good product. Ok, first things first. The PS3 was released after the Xbox 360 and because of that, Sony had the opportunity to get user feedback from the consumers and fix those issues on their system. If you do research (as I did) you will see that the PS3 has a much higher potential when it comes to graphics. These differences may not be noticeable on your TV, but it is definetely a great trait. Secondly, it is a lot closer to a computer than the Xbox is. It allows for many different things such as the browser, the USB ports allowing you to plug in a flash drive and import/export music and videos and watch/listen to them directly. One of the biggest issues is defects. The Playstation 3 very seldomly has problems. But the 360 does have the issue with the "Red Ring of Death". There is no such widely known problem on the Playstation. The controllers are bluetooth, which means bluetooth receiver on the system. This allows for syncing with bluetooth devices. Keyboards, mice, and the best part, bluetooth headsets. You can take the headset from your phone and put it on the PS3 to use it. You can also put SD cards and other various things that the Xbox does not offer. One of the most economically helpful parts is, the online is free. Huge money-saver right there. Do not forget the blue-ray player. Those are quite pricy themselves and your getting so much more with this system. Hopefully I've convinced you and if you do end up getting it, send me a message on Yahoo, and I'll add you so we can play. Good luck!

Ps3 gots free Online play, wifi, blu-ray, Ps3 Home, more hd space, 3 cell processors, better mmo's, better exclusives, bluetooth instead of infared, more format playback, dvd upscale, linux yellow dog compatible, motion sensor controllers, no red ring of death, higher pixel output, Also to mention "playstation 3 Life" is an online link to universitys which helps them create studies, which gives the ps3 the title to first ever create that, Also I mostly use my ps3 as a computer since i can install windows XP, on it and actually play PC games. This version of Xp allows you to use the full potential of the pc to play online pc games, even the high graphic ones. So you dont only get a ps3 you get a gaming computer as well. Not to mention the ps3 has only been out for 2 years barely and is still new to the market meaning it is just getting warmed up. I also like the free demos you could download on the ps3, And if you havent noticed ps3's library is growing fast!



MAG, (Massive Action Game) 256 players online on one map, Currently being made by Zipper interactive (No one makes WarGames like Zipper) Then there's Killzone 2 Which many critics have claimed to be the most graphical game to hit a console, so far. Next there is Resistance Fall of Man and Resistance 2 which again many critics have given 10/10 or 9/10 reviews. Then Final Fantasy 13 Versus which square Enix said will have Way Extra Features due to the Ps3's hardware. This is why the xbox only gets Ff13 regular and we get versus. Another good example is Ra3. EA has stated that the ps3 version will be released soon. The Ps3 version was on delay because they were taking their time with it since they were actually capable of using the Power Of Blu-Ray and make there game the best. ANother Ps3 exclusive is God Of War III which has gotten tons of good reviews, then theres Grand Turismo 5 which is expected to be one of the best racing games. There is LIttle Big Planet which again has Tons of Good Reviews, Im not even gonna mention MGS4, Ratchet & Clank tools of Destruction, Ratchet & Clank Quest of Booty, are both also exclusives, Socom Confrontation Is a very good game with a free headset, Twisted Metal will be coming out soon as a Ps3 Exclusive, A Ps3 Exclusive i recommend is Uncharted Drakes Fortune it is very fun and you'll like it, Naughty Dog production is also making Uncharted Drakes Fortune 2, sometime in 09, and Uncharted Waters Online, Quantom Theory is another RPG Exclusive, Heavey Rain is another RPG Exclusive, WarHawk is cool if you like playing multiplayer split screen online, And an Exclusive to look foward to is Kingdom Hearts 3, but this game is still only being rumord. All these games i stated are just off the top of my head and the ones i recommend. Also in the beginning of 09 Sony will start to announce even more games for PS3

There are a few really good games. However, right now the game library for the 360 is much better. One of the big advantages of the PS3 is the fact that it has a blu-ray player. If you have a nice HD TV, this would probably be a nice feature of the device to you.



Ultimately, nobody can make the decision except for you. But, if you are not intending to use the blu-ray player, I'd just stick with the 360 for right now.

well if you like the ps3 games then it s probably worth it considering the blu-ray player but, my brother has one and its overheated twice he had to send it back so watch the amount of time you spend on it
