Esequiel Posted December 20, 2007 Posted December 20, 2007 Not to get rid of my PS3. It arrived yesterday.... i always said i wouldnt buy a PS3 they were a rip off. I would only have one if it was free. Well thanks to AOL i picked up a free one (well £14.99 for delivery) and i think i was right. The games DO look great, the controller is ok, if a little... plasticy. The sound is ok, but the online gaming aspect of it seems a little crap. I had to sell my 360 a year ago and i miss it The online games on there were great, i had alot of fun running around on PDZ on launch and killing americans :P I dont know... it just dosnt seem special... I love my Wii, i can play sports on that till my arms fall off. I <3'd my 360, and im not a fanboy. Is there any reason i should keep the 360, or should i just get rid of it and get a 360 again. Resi 5, GTA, Grand Turismo, devil may cry 4 are games i like, but only 1 of them is exclusive to the PS3. Is it really worth keeping it for a few games and a Blue ray player? For's and aginst please everyone
Esequiel Posted December 20, 2007 Author Posted December 20, 2007 Can you be more specific..... im talking exclusive titles. Things that i cant get elsewhere or things that will be better on PS3 than any other console.
Caris Posted December 20, 2007 Posted December 20, 2007 Well you have all these titles only on PS3, and will be out in 2008 or early 09. MGS4 + Metal Gear Online Final Fantasy Final Fantasy Versus Little Big Planet Tekken Gran Turismo Haze Killzone 2 God of War III Resistance 2 White Knight Chronicles Socom 3 The Getaway Infamous Pain EchoChrome Some games like DMC4, Burnout will have a lead platform on the PS3 as well. Plus you have in game XMB coming in the next few month (checking friends and messages etc during a game). Also you have Home coming in the spring. On top of that you can use your PS3 to record live TV sometime next year as well.
Hero-of-Time Posted December 20, 2007 Posted December 20, 2007 Exclusive wise the PS3 is looking alot stronger than the 360 next year as Caris said. I dont think anything will ever beat the 360 in terms of online play but with HOME around the corner the PS3 is taking the right steps. At the end of the day it depends on what gameS you want for it. I rebought one recently because I wanted/needed to play Ratchet and Clank, Heavenly Sword and Uncharted. Is there a certain game/games that you are after for it?
Caris Posted December 20, 2007 Posted December 20, 2007 Is there a certain game/games that you are after for it? "The One Game"
Hero-of-Time Posted December 20, 2007 Posted December 20, 2007 "The One Game" Sponge Bob Metal Gear??!! LOL Indeed ! is coming
Shino Posted December 20, 2007 Posted December 20, 2007 Id keep it just for littlebigplanet Damn, I'm too late. Keep it.
Esequiel Posted December 20, 2007 Author Posted December 20, 2007 Well i like most games. I enjoy Crash Bandicoot style platformers... But i have Ratchet and Clank and cant get into it. I enjoy sports sims like pro evo... but th online options on fifa seem stronger on the 360. I really like RPG's and there seems to be a space in the market atm for a decent one. Faalout 3 looks good, oblivion was ok... not as good as morrowind. I enjoy party games aswell and really like singstar. Maybe its just me being biased, i cant put my finger on it, but the PS3 seems to be lacking. Also someone slap the person who changed the L2/R2 buttons, i feel like im going to snap them off >.> Iv rented a few games for tonight to try them out. Can anyone reccomend a decent online game?
Hero-of-Time Posted December 20, 2007 Posted December 20, 2007 I enjoyed my experience with Resistance online. Also you could download Tekken and play that over the net. Warhawk is apparently awesome aswell, seeing as its only online it had better be
AshMat Posted December 20, 2007 Posted December 20, 2007 Tbh it sounds like you really do want to get rid and get a 360. Just from the way you keep bringing all these extra problems up
Esequiel Posted December 20, 2007 Author Posted December 20, 2007 I guess i am being a bit pessimistic. Il know if i really like it after iv had a go on it tonight with the games im renting.
Guest Jordan Posted December 20, 2007 Posted December 20, 2007 I might be a little biased here, but i'd say currently the 360 is a far stronger console. All these exclusives might turn out like this years exclusives. Not saying Uncharted and Rachet aren't great. Rachet is esentially, the same as the last few games. Then again, the same can be said for Halo 3, Mario Galaxy and such. Uncharted is however from what i've heard a fantastic experience. But games like Liar and Heavenly Sword have been badly designed and incredibly short respectivly. I honestly hope next years titles don't have motion controls wedged on for no reason or rushed out simply to sell more consoles. I honestly can't stand FF games, I haven't enjoyed and MGS apart from the original, I don't like Gran Turismo (same with Forza... but i really love PGR) and Home doesn't interest me in the slightest. For me the 360 is a great first console and a Wii to back it up. It all comes down to personal preferance.
Cube Posted December 20, 2007 Posted December 20, 2007 Also someone slap the person who changed the L2/R2 buttons, i feel like im going to snap them off >.> It's funny that Sony's best controller is the PS1 controller. They've based their other controllers on that one, but make it worse (e.g. the PS2 dualshock is uncomfortable, whereas the PS1 version isn't). Take the PS1 dual analogue controller, slap on some 360 triggers and swap the analogue stick and D-buttons around and they'll have a semi-decent controller. It's shocking that the PS3 controller still feels like it's primarily designed for 2D games - like the Wii Classic Controller.
gaggle64 Posted December 20, 2007 Posted December 20, 2007 If you've got a PS3, I'd hold on to that. Like a massively preganant woman at some other kids party, it may say otherwise but it'll get more then it's fair share of cake in the end.
Esequiel Posted December 20, 2007 Author Posted December 20, 2007 lol Iv just seen the price drop on the core console of the 360... £150 is a nice price plus at gamestation for an extra £20 you get Forza 2, Viva Pinata and a extra controller. Then just get the £109.99 120GB HDD from the web and you have an elite for just £279.99 with 2 controllers and 2 games. Maybe i will buy that for christmas ^^
Guest Jordan Posted December 20, 2007 Posted December 20, 2007 Well no since an Elite is black. Yeah, thats right. Black. I actually bought an Elite just for the colour. I'm being dead serious.
Hero-of-Time Posted December 20, 2007 Posted December 20, 2007 Well no since an Elite is black. Yeah, thats right. Black. I actually bought an Elite just for the colour. I'm being dead serious. Your my kind of scum, Jordan!
Cube Posted December 20, 2007 Posted December 20, 2007 I actually bought an Elite just for the colour. I'm being dead serious. Half of the reason for me not getting an Elite was the look of it. The other half was the cost.
BeerMonkey Posted December 20, 2007 Posted December 20, 2007 Well no since an Elite is black. Yeah, thats right. Black. I actually bought an Elite just for the colour. I'm being dead serious. whyd you get rid of your first 360? sell the ps3 and get another 360....the ps3 is garbage
McPhee Posted December 20, 2007 Posted December 20, 2007 If you don't want it i'll take it off you're hands :p I love the 360, easily one of the best consoles ever released but i truly envy the next year of PS3 games. The release list might actually be the strongest on any console ever (if the games turn out good)
Zechs Merquise Posted December 20, 2007 Posted December 20, 2007 whyd you get rid of your first 360? sell the ps3 and get another 360....the ps3 is garbage I think the 360 is the way to go too. I think the fact that they're giving away PS3's with AOL subs says a lot about the PS3 sales.
Caris Posted December 20, 2007 Posted December 20, 2007 I think the 360 is the way to go too. I think the fact that they're giving away PS3's with AOL subs says a lot about the PS3 sales. Yeah i do actually agree with that to be honest, you never see things like that for the Wii. Opps...
