Forums - Microsoft - How many of you hardcore 360 owners want to add a PS3 to your collection?

Less people want a PS3 than I expected. Well.. That's that.

I'm not sure the handful of responses here state that conclusively... it's only an informal, unscientific poll.

 

The current PS3 sales seem to indicate otherwise.

lol that's funny I actually use my system to heat my house in winter lol I don't have a gas bill that way lol

leave all those baby on : XBox 360, TV, and big H/K amplifier and you have a perfect heater while you watch a movie without paying extra for it lol :P



me i'd like to find a study on how many buyers actually use the PS 3 for BR more than gaming..... and not because they don't find any games they want... but because they bought for that purpose in the first place....



I'll probably pick up a PS3 around late '09. At that time the price should be around $200 and FF will be out. Restoring full bw compatibility by then would be nice, if not I'll just get a used 60gb real cheap.  Not going to spend $400+ (most places sell the 60gb used for $450) right now when the games simply don't interest me.

I was going to hold off on a 360 until it hit $299 but decided it wasn't worth saving fifty bucks and losing a few months of valuable gaming time when I could be enjoying the system right now, so I bought one in January.

It does NOT look great to PS2 upgraders. Unless you have a fetish for overpaying, your not really getting a better deal on the PS3...Your either paying $400 for a Playstation with litterally no BC (which is very critical for both her and I), or $500 for a system that still won't have many "Must Have" games in her eyes. Like I said, I'd gladly buy her one if there were any exclusives she was interested in. And there aren't. Her little 8 y/o niece is having the same issues: Her PS3 doesn't have the games she wanted. Her Wii and Xbox 360 are getting far more play, since they have the PS2 games she wanted.

Wait. if BC is important to you, than WTH would you get a 360?

Reading through this, it seems the reason most PS3 owners don't get 360s and 360 owners don't get PS3s is because they don't want to/can't afford to spend the extra money. For those that do have both systems (e.g. Madskillz) it just comes down to personal gaming preferences. Me, I got a 60 gig PS3 back in Jan. 07 and currently I'm satisfied with Warhawk. None of the 360's current or near future games interest me at all other than Geow 1/2 and Mass Effect.(which aren't enough imho to warrent spending $350 for the console + $180 for the games) Thus, my personal gaming needs are being met. Seems to me that that is the case with most of the people posting here. Why should they spend $200-$500 if they are satisfied with the games/features they currently have?

 



Not trying to be a fanboy. Of course, it's hard when you own the best console eve... dang it

Have to admit...360 has a killer library at the moment :D BUT PS3 in my opinion will cream it this year. 360's upcoming library is good..but just not as strong as PS3's

I for one, haven't touched my PS3 in a couple of months...Why? WoW. Oh, and now Brawl :) but i have plans on planting myself on the couch when MGS4/GT5 Pro come. After that, stand up and have a life until White Knight/FFXIII (if it releases this year, which i doubt) Infamous, Home, GT5 and a few others...then back to the couch ^^

So all of you who haven't decided yet, just wait and let the PS3 show you...or MGS4, whichever.



I think retrasado is on the point... people buy what they think is better and most suited to their taste and that's what everybody should do....

now @makoinfused

Well I could agree with you on this year line up (so far) but i don't think that having 3 4 or even 5 AAA game (yet to be proved to be AAA) doesn't make an entire line up quality.... it's the average quality of the entire library that make it and I think we all have to agree that MS did a good job on that.... personally I'd rather have 3 or 4 good but not AAA games to play every couple month than waiting for the big ones... and I think it's one of the strength of XB 360 library and future line up for gamers like me.... I've never bought that many game since the old ones like nintendo and snes and that was over time.... i buy a game every month on average on XB... i haven't finished all of them yet....my friends with PS 3 can't say the same so far...

To all man, woman and child,

do any of you watch movies? If you all own all of these consoles over $1000, don't you have a tv worthy of playing them on.
High definition tv is so great. HDTV's cost $2000 each. 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. It would if you could afford one

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. What about games? I forgot to mention the games: MGS 4, FF 13 and GT 5.

Please for the sake of humanity Use the PS3 if you own one.


* Fixed



funny fix but you are wrong on the price of an HD tv you can find pretty cheap high quality HD tv's now a day...

just people have to stop looking at LCD's and plasma which by the way are not the best anymore...

Well I got a 360 but don't have a PS3. Yet, I'm not a hardcore 360 fanatic. In fact I hated them. Giving me RRoD 3 times is too much.

1st Dead
2nd Dead(replacement)
3rd Dead(replacement)
4th Sold(replacement)
5th Bought a new one.

I'm on my 5th 360 right now. I pray it doesn't disappoint me as I bought the 5th one.

 

If only Sony didn't screw up in the beginning. I wouldn't even dare to buy a 360. But since 360 got some games I wanted, I bought it anyway. I'm not buying a PS3 until June and I'm my purchasing hand is itching to buy one already.

 

........Is it June already?


yeah... your story is shit because of your sig and the only two games you own are psp games. (not really all you own, but can you prove otherwise?


I don't get your point? You bash me cause I only added those two to my collection?

Lately I've been playing PSP and it aint really my style adding it to my Collection list. I just don't see the point. Another thing. Maybe you should try checking when I registered. I MAY OR MAY NOT EVEN BE CLOSE TO HALF A MONTH. Get a life dude.

 

Alright. Too make you happy I'm gonna add my games to my library. Hope you be happy...

 

Edit***

If your gonna bash me because I don't have an avatar or an Icon set, one piece of advice.. Get laid....

 

Edit***

Just checked you're info. Are you really 15? God... What an awful way you've been raised.


why do you care so much then? anyone can add 5 games from one system on this site. your attitude is still not matching one  of a 360 owner.  and how old are you (?)(?)(?)(?)(?)(?)(?)
