Re: [PS3] Is it worth it?
I was going to buy a PS3 two months ago, but then I realized I'd only be playing MGS4....I might totally sound biased but the ps3 aint got games....so paying 399$ for a console that I probably use for the blu ray player is not a smart choice. All of their games that they have out are either multiplatform or rentals, Yes I've played Drakes, warhawk, lair, heavenly sword all of them which are rentals.
Re: [PS3] Is it worth it?
Really, PS3 is no more powerful than Xbox 360. They both have its pros and cons which balance each other out. If you're looking for an arsenal of pretty good games, go with 360. If you're looking for very few but very good games, go with PS3. MGS4 is pretty much the only game I know that is exclusive to PS3 and is very good. Other good games on PS3 are already on 360 too. So, I suggest you to get a 360 again if you want to get your money's worth. PS3 is bit too pricey.

that is untrue i m afraid
this has been all over the net the last few days
Its about the newest Elite versions
http://www.mirror.co.uk/news/topstor...9520-20634547/
Even now with the elite version with falcon chip the failure rate is extremely high...
Not only that but it seems they cant make any proper hardware whitout it overheating
Last year, the company had to recall 230,000 Xbox steering wheels worldwide after complaints that they overheated.
and with the old xbox they spent
Re: [PS3] Is it worth it?
Nope, I think its too expensive. I rather play PS2.
Re: [PS3] Is it worth it?
Man that kinds of make me fear, I just bought my 360 ..

it's nothin to laugh about
and consider yourself lucky
it has nothing to do with not taking care for there console otherwise ps3's and wii's would have the exact same failure rate
its just because of pore developing and rushing an unfinished product into production

it's basically the same , all multi platform game's r almost identical
it mostly depends on what platform the game was originally designed
if it was originally on xbox360 and then ported to ps3 it will look slightly better on xbox
same counts the other way around
tho i think the ps3 graphics still have allot of potential to increase
for me mgs4 is the best looking console game to date
but trailers from killzone 2 already look allot better then that
and then there is some kind of super secret game sony is working on , some ppl from the bbc saw it and said they were absolutely amazed
will have to wait and see on E3 this year
It starts next monday
but u can bet sony will announce God of war 3
Re: [PS3] Is it worth it?
My PS3 Has probably been on for 3 weeks straight and never overheats. :p
BTW. Get CoD4 or Warhawk with the Jabra Bluetooth bundle first. :D if you buy a ps3

Re: [PS3] Is it worth it?
At this point, I'd have to say PS3. I have a 360, though. Go with what your friends are playing, it is always much better if you're playing with friends.

Again a load of crap, even the most ignorant person on this planet couldn't deny that a game like Halo 3 is a big hitter...
You should check some sale records.

Re: [PS3] Is it worth it?
A few other problems I noticed with the Xbox360, but which might have been fixed with the new releases:
- Over heated and froze in-game, even though I had that cooler thing shit for it...which probably made it even hotter if anything.
- Scratched my GOW CD in the same spot..twice, a big nice old circle scratched into the disk.
My PS3 froze once, and I've had it for about 6 months or so, never overheated...can leave it running for a day and it'll still be fine.
But really...in the end, it's what the majority of your friends have. Because most of the games are the same except for a few exclusives, and you won't really have fun playing alone. PS3 is still fairly quiet online, if you're more of a social player, I recommend you go for the XBOX360, which has had a VERY user friendly interface accommodating a lot of friend features...that the PS3 still lacks, but it's getting there (might be too late once it does "get there")
