Do You Want To Buy A PS3 NOW?

Re: Do You Want To Buy A PS3 NOW?

Yep. IMO it will be the same way with the PS3.

Maybe it's just me but Sony has NEVER had a huge problem with their rollouts. Maybe some shortages and here and there but from the performance side the Playstation(s) have been remarkably sturdy. (ok not as great as the NES but that was a LOOONG time ago)

Either way i'm still on the fence. We'll see which one I choose come xmas time or so.

PK have you ruled out the 360? There are some killer racing games coming out soon including GTR2 next year.

Rodster:

I haven't ruled it out, especially if there's a price drop. But so far there's absolutely nothing on that system that is a system seller. It's $500 for a graphics and Live upgrade with reheated sequels and long-running franchises for games. I want more than that for 500 bones.

Maybe GTR 2 and Colin McRae Dirt will change my mind next year, but right now the 360 is not on my wish list due to the limited return for the exorbitant price. All the games I really love right now -- Rugby 06, Colin McRae 2005, NFL 2K5, TOCA 3, NASCAR 2005, Mercenaries -- aren't on the 360 or backward compatible. Only Winning Eleven 9 is BC among my Xbox favorites.

I've played it, and I'm not impressed -- for the money. I know people like the multimedia features, but I want a gaming machine, not a multimedia Swiss Army knife in my entertainment center.

Take care,
PK

LOL, I think I'll pass on a $1500 fake PS3.

Re: Do You Want To Buy A PS3 NOW?

I will most likely pass on PS3. The 360 was a huge investment for me and I simply don't want to pay that kind of cash again for another game console. But that's just me.

As much as I wanted a PS3 when I saw all the E3 hype, the 360 has been great so far and I really like what MS is doing.

I have three reasons why i'm not getting a PS3 at launch and that could change later and the price is not a big deal for me.

1) No Rumble in the controller (Huge Issue for Me)
2) The PS3 is not going to give me anything I don't already see or have on the 360.
3) Exclusive games are way down this time, thank goodness. 90-95% of the games will probably show up on both machines.

Forgot to mention that the new system that's turning me on right now is the Wii.

Between the innovative controller and some of the funky titles, that system just looks like pure FUN. Reminds me a lot of the Dreamcast, still the most innovative, entertaining and fun console I've ever owned, by far.

With all of the sequelitis and me-too lack of risk with PS2 and Xbox/360 titles these days, innovative fun is something often lacking in this hobby for me. That's why the Wii has me jazzed. The thing just looks fun as hell.

Re: Do You Want To Buy A PS3 NOW?

Exclusive games is really the only thing that seperates the two IMO. Both have HD, both can play DVDs, both are online, etc. It's a copy cat league nowadays when it comes to technology. PS3 has Metal Gear and 360 has Halo. With so many games going multiplatform the line is becoming even thinner.

The Wii definently is an interesting console and one to keep an eye on. Like ya said, it looks to be just a pure fun game box.

I didn't want a ps3 before and I don't want it now.

I totally agree, and that's the reason I love Nintendo. They have the most innovative games and remind me of Sega and their games when the Dreamcast was out.

Just a few awesome Dreamcast games:
1) Sega Rally
2) SeaMan
3) F355
4) Virtua Fighter
5) 2K Sports

A few awesome Nintendo IP:
1) Pikmin
2) Eternal Darkness
3) Animal Crossing
4) Metroid
5) Zelda Games
6) Mario Games

Lord, don't get me started, man. My list of awesome Dreamcast games is longer than Johnny "Wad" Holmes' c*ck.

All of the games you mentioned were great. How about these?

Jet Grind Radio
Soul Calibur
Test Drive Le Mans
Vanishing Point
Metropolis Street Racer
Tokyo Xtreme Racer
Sega Marine Fishing
Crazy Taxi
Daytona USA Online
The billiards game (can't remember the name)

F1 World Grand Prix
Quake III Arena
Unreal Tournament
Shenmue
Ultimate Fighting Championship
Samba de Amigo

PK, everytime I hear the name DREAMCAST..........a tear comes to my eye. The DC is my favorite console of all time and I wish that SEGA would have stuck around in the console business till the end of the DC's lifecycle. There have been a few times where I thought of picking up another one for cheap.

Games/Access that were innovative, SEGA Bass Fishing, Seaman, VMU, Samba Di Amigo, and plenty more.

One reason why I think I have enjoyed the XBOX and 360 is because MS continued where SEGA left off with the DC.

Re: Do You Want To Buy A PS3 NOW?

Virtua Tennis on DC was out of this world. What an incredible game. VT3 is coming to the 360 next year though.
