PlayStation 3...worth getting?

**edyzmedieval** · 12-02-2007, 21:35

As a Christmas present? I just want to play the games I cannot play on PC, such as Gran Turismo.

Is it worth it? Many people say no, but I am curious about your opinions.

Multi-platform games tend to perform better on the 360, PS3 games are 60-70€, and there aren't many exclusive titles yet.

I'd say wait a little longer, there isn't a PS3 Gran Turismo anyway.

If you have to have blu-ray, yes. If you want a console, yes, but less yes then the 360. Going to be great but not quite there yet.

No, it's not worth getting. If you get it for free as a Christmas present, sell it while it's just new. Don't even take it out of the package.

Since your family seems to be well off price isn't that much of an issue. But the things you should look at are.

-Games, the PS3 has very few 3rd party exclusives these days. So unless the Sony first party stable really appeals to you don't bother.

-Blu-ray, are there enough movie titles you want to watch on BRD.

Exclusives will come eventually, Sony has over 15 houses working on them. And of course, Metal Gear Solid 4!

I really want a console now because I never had one before even though I desperately wanted one, so I want to choose which is the best, of course looking at the price/performance ratio. I don't want too much money, because I want to save it for later on.

Xbox 360 vs PS3. Long run, which is the best?

Depends, if you have a fast pc there is little reason to buy a xbox360, so I would say the ps3. But why not the Wii? Coolest of them all.

My money would be on the PS3. The Xbox is too much of a PC lite and Sony has better first party developers.
