Forums - Gaming Discussion - Poll: So who will buy a PS3 at the new pricepoint?

I have to say no to PS3, at least not yet. There is no compelling game on the system for me. And while there are some very interesting looking games in the pipeline, i've learned to wait and see the reviews before buying as so many games are hyped beyond belief by the publishers and the fanboys. If games like LittleBigPlanet, LAIR, and Drake actually deliver, well then 500 is fine for a next gen system this early in the game.

Could have got it for 400 bucks Canadian, but didn't then, and won't for 600 bucks (If the price drop actually comes here. Our price was raised to counter-act our weak dollar, but we were at like .93 recently. Yet the price didn't drop. Bitches).

I will however, enter any contest I see to win one. Just currently won't pay, unless it's 200 bucks, Canadian.

At least following a comedians own jokes makes his death easier.

Say no to PS3's kids. I didn't get a Gamecube last generation and it had superior graphics to the PS2, and it had better games on it. Why would I want the PS3 (although I do have the TV for it) not the money though, not for something that has no games that I even care about coming out on it... I do not give a rats ass about MGS4, it's just another FPS. 360 has lots of those. Wii still has games which I need to buy for it. My brother is giving me his 360 soon, so Viva Pinata here I come.



A maybe for me. I really think I could wait just one more year and see another $100 off the price and a far better selection of games, so I probably won't be going for it.



You do not have the right to never be offended.

I already have one but will eventually get a 2nd for a different room. $500 is tempting, especially considering you get 5 free BR movies as well. But, I will probably wait for another $100 off and hope the free movie offer is still available. My bro said maybe he'll get one but most likely $400 is his buy in point.

So I want to know - who will now "rush out" and pick up a PS3 at the $499 price point?
(of course you aren't counted if you have already bought one!)

For now, people in the US only - although feel free to extrapolate vrs your current (local) price, and answer.

I still wouldn't grab one if the PS3 dropped to $799 locally (currently still $1000AU).

Results:

 - 1 x Yes (going to buy anyway, at OLD price!)
 - 1 x Maybe (considering)

Multiple no's.

(since most people on this site are "harder core" gamers, price is less of an issue - so if they want it, they will buy one anyway - at any price. This may all be a moot point, after the price cut has been debunked by Sony anyway...)

 


 Not yet. But its closer now

RE5 will also be on 360 if not the Wii as well.

 It's not coming to the Wii....


Says who, the only information that has been officially stated on the game's platforms was the announcement long long ago before the Wii and PS3 luanches that said it would idealy be on the PS3, 360 and that they would also like to put it on the Wii yet at the time had not gotten the dev stats for the console yet. Even then the game is suspiciously in developer hell at the moment in lieu of the Wii and PS3 launch. And with Capcom's recent announcement that they'd be focusing their efforts into Nintendo, I personal agree there stands at least a minimal chance. In spite of my agreal with others that there will be a Wii version all we have now is speculation and thus you have no more proof its not comming out for than Wii than anyone else does that it is so its up in the air at the moment and not exactly prudent for you to claim anything as fact over anyone when that's exactly what you don't have at the moment, facts. I'm sure you'd like to believe every gaming magazine and website that has it listed as a PS3 exclusive but we all know that's not the case.

Since I'm kinda new to this site....is it true there are more Nintendo fans here than on most other gaming sites?

There aren't more Nintendo fans here, just less Sony and MS fans. Sony and MS fans don't particularaly care for open forums like this, they like specialized forums typically dealing specifically with their product of choice, i.e. a Sony exclusive forum or a MS exclusive forum.

That's exactly it. Go check the majority of game forums and Sony and MS fans outnumber Nintendo fans. Stop with these BS theories like you have some kind of statistical info... 

I love how you lay out complete speculation as fact. 

 

There you go again taking everything way too literally. What I stated was a general observation, not a set in stone fact. You should really learn to differentiate between the two, it gets tiresome watching you try and hold a person's casual comments and observations against them time and time again when completely innapropriate and out of context.

If all you have to offer is, "Go check out the forums and you'll see I'm right" then you have no right to claim I'm making up BS when you've done just that. If you can't keep your cool, you can't argue, calmn down and handle the situation collectively or else you're just going to back yourself into a rhetorical corner again.

 



No PS3 for me. There are just no games that interest me yet. Besides, I don't have all the equipment that takes full advantage of the PS3.



No. 500$ is too much for a system with no good games, especially when you live in mexico like me (nobody owns HDTV here).

A big no from me, would have to be lower for me to rush out and buy one.
