Forums - Sony - converting my friend to ps3 - warning for ps3 fans only

tingyu on 29 June 2010

Dont push him into anything, just show him gameplay videos of great exclusives like GOW3 and Uncharted 2; if he wants, he will buy, if he doesnt, thats cool too.

I myself will be very piss off if somebody keep on pushing some product very hard, that I may lost interest in the product at all and purposely buy the competitor product, or refrain from buying just to piss him off.

Everybody has their own preference, and especially for fanboys, logics dont work here, compare product features is pointless, we ourselves dont know why we prefer something over the other. Try and explain the beautiful graphics of a PSP to a child playing Pokemon on a DS, or explain a powerful 12megapixels Android smartphone to someone waiting in line for Iphone 4.

good point. and to be honest this is the first time i will be talking about it, before he did not even mention ps3 so i did not bother, but when he started taliking about it and he started wanting one, and asked for my opinion it made it acceptable for me to bring up the whole having a  ps3 advantages issue.

Why exactly do you want him to have a PS3? If he wants the 360S more, let him take that.

PSN doesn't have cross game voice chat.

If he isn't getting a 3DTV, 3D games don't really matter.

Graphical "prowess" in PS3 exclusives should never, ever be a reason for choosing a PS3 over another console. The games, not the graphics should be the deciding feature. If he wants to play God of War III because the God of War games are awesome, then that's great.

It's fine that you want to show him why the PS3 is worth getting, but no need to mislead him.

i think because his friend was going for PS3 first but because of the new 360 S bwing COOL,NEW and everybody getting it has his will being overruled by madness

Wow, I can't stand pushy friends that push you to get something just because you want them to have it, so selfish and pointless, woop it's going to increase PS3 sales by 1 unit, what's the point?

Your argument is hugely biased btw. You have a great point with bluray and free online multiplayer, the rest is either not true anymore or your own bias.


After reading your following posts, you're being the pushy one.  Stop trolling.



Hackers are poor nerds who don't wash.

I have an idea...both of you go out and buy a Wii right now! You should but I know that you won't so... if you want him to buy a P.S.3 you should just let him play LittleBigPlanet with you for a while and then follow up with showing him the trailer of the 2nd one.

Every single thing on your list is true for the Xbox 360 EXCEPT for free online and Blu-Ray, and fails to highlight the massive multimedia capabilities of the Xbox 360 above and beyond the PS3 such as Hulu...

Aggregate gaming rankings in fact hold the Xbox 360 to possess MORE great games than the PS3.

Why lie to your friend?  Let him get what he wants.


Ok starcraft...you have a 360 and $300. What should you do? Buy another 360? Or buy a PS3 and get a different experience? If you get a PS3, you get to experience both. You get another 360, and you may have 2 consoles, but you only get one experience. What makes more sense TO YOU?

The new Xbox 360 will likely be extremely reliable, it has all the advantages of the PS3 plus the advantages of the Xbox 360 line excepting Blu-Ray.  These advantages are enhanced by built in Wi-Fi and a large HDD.

As Twesterm pointed out, what I want it irrelevant.  The bloke wants it, he should be able to get it without being harassed.  Informing somone is one thing, "converting" them and actually formulating an argument to make them switch is another entirely.

Extremely more reliable? What about the 3 year warranty (don't you dare say anything like 'its not convenient' 'its not needed anymore')? WiFi? The newest wifi adapter (wireless N, I think) goes for about $60 on eBay. 120GB is $40 and the 250GB is $60 on eBay. So this person can get the same effect (even though it doesn't matter at the end of the day because HE DOESN'T PLAY HIS ONE 360 SO BY WHAT LOGICAL REASON SHOULD HE BUY ANOTHER ONE?) with his current 360 for $100-$120. A lot less than $300.

And again, the worst part is, he wants a PS3, has already bought games for the PS3, and the only thing halting him is a redesign that with all its upgrades...can be attained for $120 instead of $300. Here's the situation as I see it. Friend wants a PS3. Jneul informs him about the PS3. Friend wants to spend $300 on what he can get for $120. Jneul along with the rest of us are saying he's being illogical and the smart thing to do is to go with his original plan.

I get the feeling that you guys aren't taking this as a "friend helping a friend" situation (which it is). You see it as "fanboys trying to get one more PS3 sold". I bet if it was the other way around and the friend already had a PS3 and was planning on getting a 360....but changed his mind because of a redesign...you'd all start spouting "GEARS!" "HALO!" "ENTRY PRICE IS $150!" "XBL IS THE BEST!" and say it's the smart thing to do and that owning 2 PS3s was silly (especially if the person didn't play it) <---which that is
