I Got some money and now is the ps3 still even worth buying?

May be...

i got some money to buy the ps3 i got a Xbox360 already

now is the ps3 still worth it? Because i want mgs4 :)

I'm seeing a few 360 fanboys here.



Anyway, yes, buy the PS3.



I'm sure that you would like to play Killzone 2 and God of War III.

if you have a Xbox, and didn't have a problem with buying it, here's a comparison between how the PS3 is so much better.



For One, the PS3 will last the longest for the next gen consoles that are out now:



Xbox 360 was made in 2005, they've already made a different version of it (Elite) so soon they'll have the next 360, more likely the 720, probably in 2010-2012 that's not very long 1-3 years of play

Wii- was poorly designed in 2006. They'll have to make the Wii 2 sometime soon, probably 2010-2012 as well.

Playstation 3- was made in the same year as the Wii, 2006. Sony designed it though to last for 10 years! Meaning it will still be around and popular in 2016.



The PS3 amazing. It has better reliability, can be turned into a PC and download Windows XP or Vista, or for free download Linux. For everything that it has, it is much cheaper then the Xbox 360, consider the following.

With the PS3, you get:

-A Blue-Ray player, and one of the best ones out so far. It is also considered new technology. If you don't have Blue-Ray players to start out with when buying the PS3, it also has a DVD upconverter, meaning that you can play normal DVD's with better quality picture.

-The PS3 also features PSN( the (P)lay(S)tation (N)etwork). It's free to use, and download demo's such as Warhawk, and Home. Unlike Xbox Live, it doesn't cost $80 for the first year bundle, and $50 for each following year.

-The PS3 has exlusives like no other console, like Resistance 2, LittleBig Planet, Motorstorm: Pacific Rift, Metal Gear Solid 4 and in the future: inFamous, Killzone 2, God of War 3, Uncharted 2, L.A. Noire, Heavy Rain and Massive Action Game (M.A.G.—in which over 256 players will be able to play on the same map at the same time)

-For the money, you get 80GB of space, and only 60GB on the Xbox 360, USB mini drives can also be used from the 2.0 USB ports in the front of the PS3. It also has an easily removable HDD.

-Built in, superior Wi-Fi

-Web browser, just like a PC's



On the Xbox 360's you get a 1 in 3 failure rate. Even though Microsoft knows of this problem, they don't even think about the red rings of death while shipping it out to unsuspecting customers



So here’s a quick run-down of what you must buy with the PS3 and 360:



PS3:

Console(there will be a $100 decrease in April 2009) $300

Game $60

Controller $55

Total: $415



Really, if you bought all the things the PS3 offers SEPERATELY, you would be able to buy roughly 3 PS3's with that money (gaming console+computer+SUPERB Blu Ray player)



Xbox 360:

Console $300

Game $60

Controller $60

Xbox Live $80

Wi-Fi $100

Total: $660



As you can see, the PS3 is cheaper by far and plus, The multi-platform games are using about 25% of the PS3's graphical potential. So that means much better graphics in the future when they can get a grip on the PS3's power.



On the other hand, most multiplatform games are using about 98% of the 360’s potential. And they look about the same. At this rate in 1 year, the PS3 will have outshone the 360 graphic wise. It’s just that the 8-core Cell Broadband Processor is very complex, and takes developers time to get used to. And they are getting the hang of things. The PS3 has a very good reliability rate: only 0.2% failure rate (note the decimal), while Xbox 360's have a 30% failure rate. So, for every 1000 of both consoles produced, 2 PS3's are defective, whilst about 330 Xbox 360's are defective. The numbers speak for themselves. Many game developers have OPENLY stated that in the near future, and right now, they will use the PS3 as a lead-developing platform, and then they will port the games to the 360.



So pretty much, the PS3 wins hands down. It's the best system people have seen yet! The PS3 will also progress in the future, like it's downgraded because it was so good that other people couldn't afford it. So anyways hope I helped!

The PS3 was designed with a 10 year Lifespan and it hasn't even tapped into it's full potential. Before I bought a PS3 I almost bought an Xbox 360 Elite, but I was scared of the Red Ring of Death. The system doesn't have as many games out for it as XBOX because most developers are use the old DVD formats to make games. If you want some more coconvincing I Played MGS4 and it was awesome. They came out with Little Big Planet, and next month Killzone 2 is cocomingut! Sony starts out slow, but wants they get the snow ball rolling it owns everything in it's path. They are just starting to come out with awesome Ps3 Games! If you must Play resistance 1 and 2 they ay great titles!

I wouldn't pay a few hundred dollars just for one game (MGS4). There's not too many other exclusives for PS3. If you would use it often and play a lot of other games it might be worth it, but it doesn't sound like it form what you wrote.

hi i was in adcacly the same possition as you i brought a ps3 and mgs4 was a great game but getting a console for the sake of playing one game is not worth it plus when you complete mgs4 there is no point in playing again everything happens the same and its to easy online sucks aswell

Yes go get it. For THIS WEEK ONLY, you can get a PS3 for only $349.99 at Best Buy.



http://www.bestbuy.com/site/olspage.jsp?...



They are basically giving you a $50 gift card if you buy the PS3. Meaning pay $399.99 + Tax then get a $50 gift card.

I like it. Maybe you would like it too hmm?



If you want a Blu Ray player/multimedia thingy, sure go for it.



If you couldnt care less, then I would save up for a laptop. Like im doing right now.

definitely its worth it just for mgs4 but yeah it is it has that free online and blu ray and the best upcoming games from Killzone 2 to

Uncharted 2 it is something you will truly enjoy

Not in my opinion i have 1 it does not have many quality games and even in home you have to pay for everything

Yea with killzone 2 coming out in a couple weeks the resistance games MGS4 mlb 09 the show(if you like sports games) and when god of war 3 comes out its really worth it

the ps3 isnt worth buying because it has a lot of problems the xbox 360 would be the better console to buy or the wii or ds.

Yes it is but you should consider the wii its great fun.

Yes. It's worth it.

Don't be dumb.

it is totally worth the moneyy. good graphics!!

i would stick just with the 360 and buy some weed with the extra money or more games.



blingbling is so wrong, ive had my 360 for 2 years and no problems. If there is a problem just send it in and get a new one for free, simple as that.

YESSSS 20X BETTER THAN 360 DON'T LISTEN TO THE ANTI-PS3'S

Get the ps3 it rocks i love playing it

dude get the ps3 i have one the best money i spent



dude RESISTANCE 2!!!!!
