As I am sure you people know. A PLAY ... station will actually play your movies better than anything else you own on an amazing looking television. If you own a PS3, why wouldn't you use it for the movie playback.. not to mention the blu-ray. This I just do not understand. Please for the sake of sanity.. Use the PS3 if you own one. |
I own a PS3 and for the life of me would love to use it a lot more but have no desire to right now. I would be crying right now if I would have paid $499 plus for it. It's a decent HD movie player - though the masses don't agree with me, but HD DVD offers way more features than Blu Ray - but knowing my HD DVD players offer more than just movie viewing sours it. As far as games, I have tried to get into them - RFOM, Motorstorm, Uncharted - and they are cool, but before I bought one, folks were hyping this along the lines of the second coming of Christ. I expected it to really give me just one reason to drop my 360 controller. Not only did the PS3 fail to do it, but I have even played my Wii much, much more than I've played my PS3.
Seriously, unless there's a game for the PS3 that screams 'I'm one of the reasons to own a PS3,' it will continue to be a shiny black dust magnet. Sadly, for me and quite a few others, the PS3 is just an investment of sorts - we're hoping one day soon we'll have more than just a handful of reasons to fire it up once in a while.
An HD movie player it is. A good video game console it is. The sequel to the PS2? Not so much.
Knowing what I know now, I would have picked up a PS3 on the cheap at a pawn shop for about $200 much, much later because my money could have been better used these past 3 months.
