As you may know, I have been a longtime Nintendo Fanboy for all of my life. However, the recent PS3 exclusives have been catching my eye, and "teh blu-rayz." I had a few questions before I purchase it......

1. How likely is the price drop rumor going to happen? A simular scenerio happened when I bought a DS phat, the DS lite was announced a few months latter, and when I finally got enough for a lite, the DSi was announced a few months later.

2. What games would you recommend? I am already getting Motorstorm 2, Uncharted, and LBP. This is my first PlayStation console ever, and I like Nintendo-type games.

3. Same as #2, but for Blu-Ray. I already plan to get Dark Knight, and I like action, comedys, and drama.

1) The rumour was started by PS3 fanboys who think Sony can get back on top. Not likely at all until Christmas at least.

2) There are very few 'Nintendo-type' games on PS3. Most have a darker, serious tone. If you want to get into that kind of gaming, I'd recommend:

 

  • GTA4
  • Fallout 3
  • COD 4
  • Resistance 2
  • Mirror's Edge
  • Prince of Persia
  • Ratchet and Clank Future
  • MGS4 (you may not like this as it is very hard to understand without playing previous games. Worth playing though)
  • Bioshock
  • Orange Box (Bit laggy on PS3, but you CANNOT miss these games. Best gaming experience of my life)
  • Dead Space
  • Whatever sports games you enjoy
PSN:
  • Stardust HD
  • Wipeout HD
  • Street Fighter 2 Turbo HD Remix
  • Warhawk
  • GT5 Prologue
  • Crash Commando
That's a good start. Just look at videos first to see if you'll like them. There's plenty more great games to choose from if you don't.

3) I have no idea, sorry.
