UKJAY · July 30th, 2007, 03:04

OK pretty soon you will stop playing your PS3 and realise that its just not the same!!! well thats what I did.
I wont even accept any friends requests on it...im hardly on my 360 at the moment so PS3 friends would think I'd have died

coojo · July 30th, 2007, 03:12

whats your gamertag on PS3 i only got resistance fall of man now

but im getting motorstorm and ridge racer 7 and LAIR next month :cool:

StolenName · July 30th, 2007, 05:51

Yo dude, I'm StolenName. As it is hehe.

Resistance is actually pretty good online and it shouldn't take you too long to get the hang of it either

At the moment, there aren't too many good online games, MotorStorm and Resistance being the exceptions, but you'll find that the games that are a good number of single player games available.

Ninja Gaiden Sigma is a must but its gets bloody hard bloody quickly :|

coojo · July 30th, 2007, 17:40

ok ill add you next time i get on

, yeah warhawk will be the ultimate online game i mean 64 players is a lot for a console game and a lot of good single player games like heavenly sword LAIR ratchet and clank should be fun too.

kidkit · July 30th, 2007, 17:50

ut3 on ps3 should be great

I might get a ps3 in fall. My wallet and I haven't quite decided yet.

coojo · July 30th, 2007, 18:46

yeah thats cool that there gonna allow mods too

Chris · July 30th, 2007, 18:49

Do they ever fix the browser with these updates they put out? I need better flash support.

UncleGuito · July 31st, 2007, 03:59

Hopefully I'll be able to pick a PS3 this winter, but until then, I don't have any reason to do so. There aren't any worthwhile games coming out until Ratchet & Clank, Uncharted, but those should be great.

Unrealevil · July 31st, 2007, 06:20

I don't understand the reason for buying a PS3. So it's a blu-ray player. But... well, nevermind, I don't watch many movies so I guess I can't say anything lol.

Chris · July 31st, 2007, 18:53

Little Big Planet. That's a HUGE reason if you truly understand what these devs are trying to pull off. With the online community, with everything. Don't just look at a PS3 title as "Well Xbox 360 can do this, this and this.". Look at it for what it is and as what can be possible and achieved with it. Look at the bigger picture other than console party lines. Get over yourself, and get over any prejudice that you've got about the PS3. I've got both consoles, I love both consoles. I love playing Super Stardust HD and Motorstorm at the moment. I've only had it for two weeks now.

I do however like Xbox 360's UI for Marketplace crap better.

UKJAY · July 31st, 2007, 18:54

Yes Little Big Planet...you just reminded me what it was I was so excited about months ago

kidkit · July 31st, 2007, 19:18

I want a hi-def movie player... $180 for an hd add-on or spend a little more and get access to some badass exclusive games. Yep, I'm buying a ps3 now. I have enough room in my heart to hate all 3 consoles this generation

Ivan Joidherpus · July 31st, 2007, 19:30

Granted, there are some very cool things (HOME, Little Big Planet, Folding@home) that they are implementing into the PS3. That is no secret. And yes, it plays blu-ray too. But at its heart, a console is for gaming. While not qutie the lineup that many of us would like to see from Sony (yet) their library is growing. It seems though, that Sony have overpriced themselves, and 'forced' many gamers that want to be a part of THIS gen gaming to go to MS. They were out earlier, plus, they've been able to scoop up a host of former exclusives, and get a number of dev houses on their payroll now. This gen is almost two years in now, so we can assume approx. 3-4 more years before the next set of consoles come out.

I'm not a fanboy, so keep the flame cannons aimed down for a minute longer ladies.

I would like nothing more than to see all three consoles as a success, both in terms of customer satisfaction with the product, sales figures, and most important, software support. Competition isn't just good for the consumer, its good for the devs too. If company A's game does this, that and the other, then company B will make sure to include this, that and the other, plus that one extra thing. It will push them to continue to make great games. We all win with that.

If I had more time to game, I would buy a PS3 in addition to my 360. There is no sense in being blindly loyal to one company, unless you work for them or are trying to work for them. Otherwise, just buy and play what you want, and everyone else can go fuck themselves. Personally, while Little Big Planet and HOME are very cool sounding ideas, there is nothing else that excites me about the PS3 that I cannot get on my 360. Larger HDD. Who cares, that's why I have a laptop. Blu-Ray. Not until I can buy bootlegs at the asian mall for CHEAP. Bluetooth connectivity. Great, but I'll never send a file to/from my cell phone to my console.

killzone2 looks the hottnes i wasent a big fan of the first one theres also lair warhawk(64 players online) UT3 timed exclusive with mods allowed in PS3 version ratchet and clank my favorite PS series so ill be happy with it of coarse until halo 3 comes around

Sage · August 1st, 2007, 23:06

look the 360 has a very nice line-up and so does the PS3 so lets just enjoy the games, chaps.PS coojo you made the right choice in buying both systems, even though you will get bored of it before the good games come(or buy ninja gaiden, that will hold you over till the good stuff arrives)... oh last thing get a keyboard for your ps3, typing with the 6axis is dick*rubs his thumbs*

UKJAY · August 2nd, 2007, 01:34

Yeah I agree PS3 is a bit slow on games, but I got one for the long haul. You just know in a few years it'll be as big as the PS2 was in it's wow days...

Unrealevil · August 2nd, 2007, 04:25

I don't doubt that at some point the PS3'll have great games. But why buy it now when it's at this price? Just to have it before anyone else did?

I mean, buy it if you're a fanboy, no issues with that. I'm just saying why I'm not buying it.

Voyager2k · August 2nd, 2007, 06:01

Bying a ps3 now is a smart move considering the value you get with the starterpack in Europe. It won't get any better than this. Granted, not everyone likes Resistance and Motorstorm but most probably do.

Considering that Sony has finally a (small) lineup of AAA 1st party games coming it's not a bad time to buy a ps3 now. Especially if you know that it'll only be available until stock is sold out. Then there will be a new SKU with somewhat bigger HD, new rumble pad and no games and all for the same price. Considering the pure value this is almost a steal, even if the only games you'd play right now are Resistance and Motorstorm. There still is that excellent dvd upscaler and lets not forget about blueray.

So, from a purely economical point of view ... claiming that ppl who buy a ps3 now are fanboys who "just have to have it before everyone else" is pretty fanboyish in itself and comes simply down to smacktalking about the evil other console.

If there is only 1 game someone wants to play that justifies whatever that person is willing to spend for it. It's as simple as that and noone has the moral right to judge anyone for that.

3rd party games I'd recommend to get for the 360 until holiday season 2008 starts. But the 1st party stuff that Sony has coming now is quite nice and if you refuse to see/acknowledge that then it is YOu who is the fanboy and not those who buy the other system

With that beeing said, PSN download speeds pwnz0rize M$ lame ass downloads anytime

(meh am s0ny f4nboyz n0wz)

coojo · August 2nd, 2007, 06:29

yeah my 360 broke so i got the PS3 and my warranty was voided

so i got the PS3 it was $499.99 plus i got a 5 free blu-ray offer so i got 140 dollars in movies

Unrealevil · August 3rd, 2007, 02:36

@Voyager

Not only are those the only good games for it right now, but that deal's not available here. But ya' know, I'm not saying that you shouldn't get it. I just don't understand the need to have one of them when I'm sitting here with a 360 and already I have like... five games that I don't want to put down (I own six games (the Tiger Woods one was a joke)).

coojo · August 3rd, 2007, 08:50

yeah resistance fall of man and getting motorstorm and ridg racer 7 in the mail soon so i have something to keep me busy till the 360 price drop

Rival24 · August 3rd, 2007, 15:47

Do yourself a favor and cancel Ridge Racer 7

Rossko_UK · August 4th, 2007, 02:57

I bought a PS3 this past week, managed to get £75 off the usual retail of £350. Sure it came with no games, but I wanted it as a Blu-Ray player primarily anyway, so I was chuffed. Currently have Motorstorm, and I don't see myself buying anymore games until, well, I dunno actually. Maybe UT III.

My name is in my forum profile, over there <------
