Billiumss Posted October 23, 2008 Report Share Posted October 23, 2008 Hi guys, I currently have a Wii and a 56" 1080P TV and was thinking of getting a PS3 down the road so I can play a few games plus have a Blue Ray Player. I'm not a gamer by any means, what is your opinion on the PS3 platform? The old PS3 combo with Metal Gear was ok (even played PS2 games) but cost $500.00. I really want a Blue Ray player but $300 for a dvd player is kinda high plus a PS3 can do both. Is it worth buying or should I wait till the Blue Ray players come down in price and buy more Wii games? Bill Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Dr. Apex Posted October 23, 2008 Report Share Posted October 23, 2008 Wait on a player, the PS3 sucks and there are few games for it. Not worth it. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

supldys Posted October 23, 2008 Report Share Posted October 23, 2008 I freakin love the ps3, more good games than I can afford and plays ps2 games, dvds, and blu-ray. Great deal for the money Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
dragknee66 Posted October 23, 2008 Report Share Posted October 23, 2008 I bought a ps3 for just the player, I dont even have any games for it. If you have a 56" TV and no high def movies... then you should have bought a tube tv instead. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
schmuckingham Posted October 23, 2008 Report Share Posted October 23, 2008 My girlfriend has a PS3 and she bought it mainly for the BR player. I have played a few games for it that i also have for my 360 and they are almost identical except the play online is different story. The PS3 network may be free if you already have internet but more than half the games get closed or lag out. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

WTF is that suppose to mean? Been watching TV in HD for over a year now. I get HD through my cable. I want to get a Blue Ray Player in the future so I can watch HD movies on my HD TV.

CRed05 Posted October 23, 2008 Report Share Posted October 23, 2008 Get the PS3 If you don't care about playing games at all, think of it as buying a blueray player that you can surf the web with, youtube, CR...whatever AND ITS FREE wired or wireless. You can store movies and mp3's on the hard drive and it will link with other computers on the same network so you can play song/movies whatever off of them. You can install Linux on it and turn it into a personal computer...even install windows on it through linux. Lots of possibilities there. If later down the road you feel like getting a game you think might be fun to play, you can. And for the statements that have been made about it not having any good games...that's the only ammo xbox fanbois have and its not valid. It shares most games that other consoles have, no you cant play halo (its over rated anyway). The controllers recharge using the system so you dont need batteries, playstation home is about to be released, you can send people instant messages, chat with bluetooth etc etc... Why spend similiar money on a blueray player that cant do ANYTHING but play movies? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

sol740 Posted October 23, 2008 Report Share Posted October 23, 2008 Its worth it for the bluray player by itself. Plus with Littlebigplanet coming out next week, thats also worth the purchase all by itself. I want a PS3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Plus with Littlebigplanet coming out next week, thats also worth the purchase all by itself. I want a PS3 I am very pissed they pushed back the release date. It's probably a good thing though because a lot of other good games came out this week too. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Drewhop Posted October 23, 2008 Report Share Posted October 23, 2008 PS3 ftw. I have honestly turned on my xbox 360 about 4 times in the past year and half cause of my brothers ps3. Buy one I dont think you will regret it. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Draco-REX Posted October 23, 2008 Report Share Posted October 23, 2008 Get the PS3. It's the best Blu-Ray player out right now. Being firmware based, it's able to be updated so it'll work with any new blu-ray changes, and its upscaling is excellent. At the time I was looking for a BR player, the PS3 was actually the cheapest player available. Since them, some have come down in price. But really.. Why buy a standalone BR player, and then try to justify a PS3 when GT5 comes out, when you can just get the PS3 now? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mike C Posted October 23, 2008 Report Share Posted October 23, 2008 My 3 year old is actually quite good with the PS3 already so I'm not sure how old your kids are. Instead of buying games, we just download the demos off the PS Network for free and they keep him quite busy (me too). The demos are a lot of fun and give you a great preview of the game before buying. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ImUrOBGYN Posted October 23, 2008 Report Share Posted October 23, 2008 I love my ps3. WOuldn't mind having a wii, as well, (now that I have a ps3) but that's how it usually goes with systems. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
