Thinking of getting a PS3

[jpup]

If you are a real baseball fan, you owe it to yourself to buy a PS3. To me, everything else is secondary.

Your opinion has been duly noted. But rules are rules, and in this case, house rules are house rules.

I think the PS3 should have been named the PS2.5, it has some nextgen features, but when I'm playing it, it feels more like I'm playing a souped up PS2. But the BluRay players kicks major booty. But thats for movies, not gaming.

The Show was a port and it is it's first gen appearance on the system.

Although I do agree that the PS3 is lagging behind in multi-system games but first party games are looking good.

And playing baseball and 60fps is a thing of beauty.

Having no rumble hurts us because we play with the ball cursor off, so you need rumble to tell you when your cursor is at or near the edge of the strike zone. We now only play the PS2 version just because of this. How in the heck does a nextgen system comes without rumble? Rumble puts you in the game. Its one thing to play a game, but its another thing to be totally immersed in the game.

I don't know how the battery died on it but after a while the rumble would just slow down...I haven't played a baseball game since the days of Sega Genesis so I wouldn't know.

I do kind of like the rumble feature for bball games when you're shooting Free throws on the road....made for a little bit of realism
