Time to buy a PS3? - Page 4

Slightly wrong is something along the lines of a minor spelling mistake, to lie about something is abject failure (insert smiley).

Well I'll go sit in the abject failure tent with the PS3. Keep the old chap company.

Is a fanboi statement. You made it with nothing to back it up.

You want me to explain myself? Fine, I'll happily do so.

Here in my opinion are the best games on the PS3 to date.....

Ninja Gaiden Sigma (Action)
Oblivion (RPG)
Motorstorm (Driving)
Resistance (Shooter)
Heavenly Sword (Action)

Out of those games, there's nothing there that isn't matched or bettered by the 360. Ninja Gaiden Sigma is simply a remake of Ninja Gaiden Black with a few tweaks and extra levels (none of which have actually helped according to the reviews I've read). Oblivion is available on the 360 and done just as well. Motorstorm is beaten by Project Gotham 3 and Forza Motorsport 2 (though they're different types of racing games so I'll admit opinions will vary on which is better). Resistance is beaten by a number of Xbox 360 shooters, with Gears of War and Bioshock both at the top of the list (and Xbox 360 exclusive I might add). Heavenly Sword is also beaten by several action games, with Ninja Gaiden being the most obvious one (and that's a generation old).

Obviously everyone has opinions and I'm fine with yours being different from mine. Out of everyone in this thread though, only one person has sounded like a fanboy, and this post is directed straight at him

I had my heart set on a PS3 for a long time because I wanted RE:5. However after seeing Gears of War I jumped ship to the 360 and haven't looked back. Thankfully RE:5 will be on the 360 too which is great.

The fact I was set on a PS3 and ended up buying a 360 should show I'm not a fanboi. I can honestly say there is nothing that would persuade me to buy a PS3. I'm happy to say I've had my 360 approaching 12 months now and it cost me alot less then a PS3 and I get to play with all my friends on great games such as GoW and COD4

I think the fact I currently own a PS2, Gamecube, Wii, Xbox, Xbox 360, Nintendo DS and Sony PSP should show I'm not a fanboy. The mere suggestion I am is laughable in the extreme. I buy consoles when I have a reason to, and that reason is simply that there are enough games on it to warrant a purchase. And to put it bluntly, there's nothing on the PS3 currently that's worth my time and money. That will likely change in the future, so I'll end up with a PS3 when there's enough reasons to own one.

I suppose the short answer to iicatsii's question is "No"

Davey_Pitch · 11-10-2007, 10:03

Heheh, IMO, definitely no reason to buy one just yet. With the 360 being more mature, having more games available (and better ones IMO), the arcade games, Xbox Live, and a thriving community, I don't see a reason to step away from it yet.

As I said though, each to their own

SidewinderINC · 13-10-2007, 18:42

Well I was going to make a thread about buying a console and which one as I dont own any at the moment

But reading this thread and a few of the X360 threads has made my mind up I think.

However the PS3 having Blu-Ray is making me think twice..
I havent really kept up to date with media stuff *don't hurt me*, is this going to take off and be as widespread as DVDs? or is it going to be the Minidisk of the film world?

Davey_Pitch · 13-10-2007, 22:00

From what I've read Blu-Ray is currently more popular than the HD-DVD stuff, but it's so early in the war it's impossible to say which one will eventually come out on top. It'll take a fairly long time before they become as popular (or as cheap) as DVD's so there's no pressing need to get a Blu-Ray player just yet IMO.

Thats sealed it now *shifts to time to buy Xbox360 thread*
