Forums - Sony Discussion - Quick...Convince me to buy a PS3!!!

I woke up this morning with an intense desire to smoke a cigar and buy a PS3.  I have my cigar all ready, but I'm browsing PS3.com and I cannot find much in the way of games yet.  I could settle for a movie for now, but I am looking foward to Warhawk and Heavenly Sword.  I want to see Lair, although I'm  afraid of dragons.  Should I buy it now or should I wait a few weeks for the new releases.

 

PS...I already have a Wii and a 360.

This is not the best place to ask for reasons to buy it. If you think you'll enjoy the games on the PS3, and you're hyped for it, then buy it now.



 

 

If the combined price of the games you want to play on the PS3 is higher than or equal to the price of the SKU you want to buy, go for it.

Else, wait.



Get on the sony website and take advantage of the 350 PS3 with 150 discount by using their credit card. It's a smokin deal and if you have a HD TV, you are set. You still get 5 blueray movies so you get a freakin smoking deal. If I had a high def TV, I'd already have ordered one. Sadly, though, I don't so the extra feature of Blue Ray does me no good at the moment and with a 360 I've got more games than I can play at the moment.

I tried that the other day.  You don't get the refund for 8-12 weeks.  My plan is to bring back about 10 360 and Wii games.  I'm also due to get $130 back from Microsoft due to the warranty change. 

I guess what I am asking is what are all of you PS3 owners playing?

Lair got pushed back cause it sucked...

Heavenly Sword seems to be a God of War knock off but gameplay is rather bland according to people playing the demo.... (at least the main character is hot)

Hold off till Spring.. you'll get a price drop and at least 1 good game (GTA IV)

Yea go for the $350 PS3 deal, you will get 5 free Blu-ray movies with it too like kn said. Also if you want go for the 80GB version since you get it much cheaper anyways and would get Motorstorm which is a good game for it's online racing.

As for games Warhawk will be a amazing. Get Resistance Fall of Man, Ninja Gaiden (if you want an insanely hard hack and slash), theres plenty of PSN downloadable games that with $60 you can get like 4 - 6 games, and theres plenty of cool games coming out like Unreal Tournament 3, Haze, Ratchet and Clank, Uncharted (Sony's Gears of War), and like you said Heavenly Sword. Idk about Lair yet, I have it pre-ordered but ill have to give my opinion once I play it but it does look fun. 

The PS3 also has DVD, PS1, and PS2 upscaling if your TV supports it (newer HDTVs do, mine doesnt =[ ).
