Should i (we) buy a Playstation 3?

[Slaydon]

Okay the title says it all, now is it smart? its less than 2500 NOR Krone, (400 Dollars)

Discuss, and vote the poll

EDIT: Im not sure if my family will allow it, but would it be smart?

 

[Steel_Stallion]

500 Dollars? What the hell?

Dude, make sure you go for the new PS3 Slim which shouldn't be anymore than 300 dollars with a 120 GB HD

I don't want to start a console war here, although I personally prefer the Xbox 360. It all depends on your choice in games. If money isn't an issue, I'd say go for a powerful PC rig instead.

But otherwise, go for it.

 

[Jordan]

Yeah you can find a MUCH MUCH cheaper ps3 like the new 120gb slim for 299$, which I'm sure is available for int'l delivery.

ps3 > 360 imo only because of free online/wireless, other than that I'm all for 360.

 

[Slaydon]

well, i might calculated wrong on the calc, its the slimmer version im talking about... How much is a dollar now these days?

 

[Jordan]

where are you from?

 

[Fimbus]

A little more than 5 Danish kr.
; and if I had the money I'd buy one, so I'd do it if I were you

 

[Slaydon]

Okay, just to inform anyone, thats VERY cheap in our country... its now UNDER 2500, it was 7500, so thats around 1100 Dollars or something

 

[Jordan]

Wouldn't it be cheaper to import it?

 

[D a w n]

it´s 300 in germany

 

[Dreadnought[dA]]

Sony delivers again! 8/ Man I want a slim, but I already got the big honker! Oh well, patience is good.

 

[Zombie]

It's 40.000 in Hungary.

....

I doubt that helped.

 

[Slaydon]

could you please start to answer Yes and why yes or no and why no

 

[Oziris]

Playstation 3 - Don't buy it. You need to have original games that cost more then 100e but you can go online.
Xbox360 - I prefer it. You don't need to have original games but you cant go online.

Your choice.

 

[Slaydon]

well, the games are on sale aswell, they used to be 100 dollars, now they are around 60

 

[Oziris]

In Serbia it's around 100e. For xbox360 i get free games by downloading them from IsoHunt.

 

[D a w n]

well, the games are on sale aswell, they used to be 100 dollars, now they are around 60

I voted for no, because the price in your country is way to high D:

 

[Slaydon]

the price is too low atm, thats why i opened it.. its not expensive.. just that, is it smart?

 

[Warhunter]

Okay the title says it all, now is it smart?

Yes! Go for it.

 

[The Reborn Devil]

Yes!!

 

[L2love]

No because xbox right now is better than PS3 and maybe later when PS3 are so god damn expensive and most of there games aren't shit then you can go buy one.

 

[Warhunter]

Have you watched the PS3 graphic? It's awesome. And there are good game for it also. + You get your own blu-ray player.

 

[Deleted member 157129]

Where did you find it for 2500NoK?! It's still 3500NoK here. Anyway, 2500NoK is about 430USD.

Oh, and I've never seen in for 7500NoK, that's just.. insane!

I'd wait for the price to drop if I were you.. it can't stay at initial price much longer now.

 

[L2love]

Have you watched the PS3 graphic? It's awesome. And there are good game for it also. + You get your own blu-ray player.

ya the graphics are awesome but are the games fun here's a list of only good things for ps3.

1.Graphics
2.Free Live
3.No goddamn 3 rings of death
4.Bigger memory

So all n all PS3 are good but not as good as 360 and also wait for the wii thing for 360 then every1 and there mums will be haven a 360.

 

[The_Taxidermist]

I am mortally afraid of personal responsibility please make my decisions for me internet!

 

[HINDYhat]

Decisions = asking his parents to buy a PS3. Some responsibility. D:

 

[Slaydon]

lol, im not "asking" them, it was theire idea x)

 

[The_wand_mirror]

€245,00 for an xbox elite on bol.com here in holland.

 

[Kercyn]

It might be cheaper, but that doesn't mean it's cheap. Not to mention the ridiculous amount of money you'll need to pay for games.

 

[Teh_Ephy]

If there aren't a decent amount of PS3-exclusive games that you are looking forward to playing, don't buy it. It's really that simple.

 

[oh_snap]

I have the PS3 for two reasons. One: Online play is free. Two: Game exclusives.

~Snap

 

[Ham Ham]

Buy a strong enough computer that can emulate Playstation3 and Xbox360.

 

[Kercyn]

That's like triple expenses. Dude, seriously, the only machine worth playing games on is a computer, and it will always be that way. Plus, every game for PC is way cheaper than a PS/Xbox one.

 

[L2love]

And yet why do people play games on a consoles answer the question?

 

[oh_snap]

Tradition, and it's cheaper than a computer.

~Snap

 

[Kercyn]

Because:

1) You can play with a friend in the same house.

2) It's more simple to play games on a console, since all you need to do is to press like 3 buttons. It shuts down much faster too.

3) There are some games which were initially programed for consoles, and reprograming for PCs hasn't been done thoroughly, and all this causes bad control, clippy/artifacted graphics, lacking or no help/troubleshooting for PCs (PES, RE etc. etc.)

4) It's a matter of choice. I, for example, would never, even prefer a console over a computer. This may not be true for others.

 

[L2love]

It's kinda like the same there are some things better for pc and some things better for a console whether the controls are better or whether graphics all of it matter on the game computer and console.

 

[MySpaceBarBroke]

And yet why do people play games on a consoles answer the question?

Tradition, cost, controls, runonsentence, easier to play with friends, runonsentence, easier to use a TV, runonsentence, most runonsentence people consider runonsentence consoles to be cheaper for the quality of graphics they gerunonsentencerunonsentenceRUNONSENTENCE



GAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAH

 

[Chief-Oblivion]

PS3's are totally overrated. You can get BETTER with a 360 and it's cheaper.

 

[redscores]

XBox 360 is even worse than PS3... its a pile of garbage, theres not a single really good role playing game for 360, the only good games for XBox 360 are sport and racing games....

 

[TDR]

If you like FPS games never buy a console. If not and if you don't have a good computer/can't afford a good computer, go for consoles.

Tales of Vesperia, Fable II, Lost Odyssey, Star Ocean 4, Eternal Sonata. Not to mention all 360s are backwards compatible, which some PS3s sacrifice.

 

[redscores]

Never heard of those, and fable 2 is fail in my book, so please, as I said, no quality RPGs, or can you compare any of those with Final Fantasy?! Hahahaha.

 

[L2love]

finally fantasy suxs and fable 2 suxed because it wasn't as good as the 1st and red score name some PS3 games that are good.

 

[oh_snap]

Metal Gear Solid 4?

~Snap

 

[Teh_Ephy]

Lost Odyssey was hugely advertised, how did you not hear about it? It's supposed to be pretty good except there's a lot (LOT) of reading. Tales of Vesperia is an action-rpg, and if you've never heard of the Tales series, you're not a real RPG fan. It's the second largest RPG series in Japan. Eternal Sonata and Blue Dragon are supposed to both be pretty good, although I haven't played either. Mass Effect was an RPG, believe it or not. Infinite Undiscovery was made by Square Enix, a friend of mine actually said he was surprised it wasn't a Final Fantasy because it was so good. The same friend also recommended Enchanted Arms to me. None of the popular games were good RPGs, the 360 isn't exactly thirsting for them.

Now that I think about it, Eternal Sonata was ported to the PS3 and that was a complete flop, but the PS3 port of Vesperia may or may not be exported. Both of them were at least timed exclusives. PS3 Vesperia is only out in Japan anyways.

The next Final Fantasy is coming to the Xbox 360 too, you dip shit.

As if we want it, "Oh boy, I can't wait to play through the same fucking game for the 13th fucking time!"

 

[Kercyn]

Guys, this ends up to be a PS3 game discussion thread. Certainly, there are great games on PS3, but there are great games for PC too. Plus, you can't run WE on a PS3

 

[Teh_Ephy]

Xbox = Xshit

Obvious troll is obvious.

P.S: PS3 = Piece of Shit 3

 

[L2love]

PS3 = A greedy console

 

[Kuhneghetz]

They both suck. Go buy an Atari 2600.
