| Jay520 said: The main thing is the fact that you said KB Speech encouraged you to buy a ps3. It was funny but not buy-a-new-console good. How did PSN+ encourage you at E3 when most of the deals were pretty useless. And then you say how PSN+ (at launch) was great enough to convince you to buy a ps3, yet LIVE is a waste of money. I can't see how PSN+ at launch had more value than LIVE. Your overall tone of the post just seems suspiscious to me. Like when the slim came out, the phat got a price drop too in order to clear out stock. Why didn't you buy a phat then? Why was your plan to buy a PS3 when it didn't have any exclusives you wanted. You say the Wii was garbage because of it's inaccurate controls. Most of the Wii's best games don't require accurate controls (SSBB, MKWii, NSMBWii, SMG, etc) And then you say that the PS3's online security is not as good as LIVE, but then you say it's online is of the same quality. I Don't understand this? |
I was thinking about getting a ps3 before the E3 but like most people I thought I would see what E3 had in store for the PS3 first like price cuts and games. PS+ first month didn't have anything really good, but they said if you get PS+ early you get WipeOut HD and 3 extra months free, so I knew I would get my monies worth. Also I knew the subscription service would most likely do well, so the more people/money they get the better/more stuff they can offer.
PSN+ at launch had more value then for me then Live. With Live I only play games online I didn't do anything else. With PSN it's free and with the subscription I get free games and discounts on PSN games so hands down I (personally) was already getting more value.
I was at college when they changed from phat to slim. My program was really time consuming so I wasn't keeping up to date with gaming news. When I found out it was too late.
My plan was to buy the PS3 because I thought Finally Fantasy and Tekken would be exclusively on it. Also I have a lot of PS2 games and wanted to play them on my next gen platform and store my PS2 in the basement so I could save space in my room.
I love SSBB but the game became garabage and I traded it because online was really laggy and hardly and nobody was ever on. Playing SSBB by yourself isn't fun. MKWIi I bought as well and that was garbadge too. I hated the controls it was only fun for a few games then it got boring. NSMBWii I haven't tried but it's a game that makes it worth it to buy a Wii just for that. I have the original Nintendo that I can play the classic version on so it's not that great in my eyes. As for SMG I don't like 3D Mario. I played Mario 64 and a little bit of another 3D Mario game ( i can't remember which one) and I did like it at all. Plus for some reason I feel really sick while playing them.... motion sickness or something idk. There are a few other Wii games that I did like though but even if I put them all together it still doesn't feel to me like it was worth it getting the system for them. A lot of them are multiplayer, and since the friends I do game with normally want to play the PS3 or Xbox 360, I have no one to play the Wii games with.
By online quality I only meant the speed/lag while playing a game (like playing death match in CoD) I don't care about all the features Xbox Live has. Xbox Live is better then PSN if you want Cross game chat and other little stuff like that. But I only care about playing my game online against other people, and for just that PSN is the same quality as Xbox Live.
