Nice.. Not a stab at Ps3 at all.

Why dont your get R&C Gt5:P or something?

i don't really like the R&C franchise, and theres no way i'm paying for a demo of GT, i'll just wait for the real thing, not big on racers to be honest

@Legend11 - i'm not a huge metal gear solid fan so i won't bother to scoop it when it drops, i'll prob wait for a while

 to be honest the real reason i bought a ps3 was for FF, and i just hoped there would be good games until it will be released


gamefly rentals then you can sample with oyu much of a loss and if you have all three systems it beats buying tons of games!

so i own all three consoles and i would love to pay them all attention, but when ur busy this is nearly impossible, and when you develop favourites this is even harder.

when i bought my ps3 i bought it with a decent slection of games, pro evo 8, assiasin's creed, armoured core 4 and ninja gaiden sigma. well i remember a couple weeks ago i realised that i had completed all of them and hadn't played my ps3 for ages, so i decided to go spend some cash on games. but when i got to gamestation there was absolutely nothing i wanted, as alot of multiplatform games i have for my 360 already. so i was organising my room today and decided to pack my ps3 away because it was an large eyesore and collecting a suprising amount of dust. its actually a dissapoint spending that much money just to have it collect dust. and i care nothing for the blu ray movies as i'm not really the type of person to buy dvds and such.

i'm not bashing the ps3 in anyway i just think its a letdown when compared to the wii and 360, and an overpriced one at that (wish i had waited for the price drop now)


 Sell it and buy something you'd consider worth the money.

It's more because it's a 360 with some bells and whistles. If you had bought the PS3 first, you'd be saying the same thing about the 360.

Personally the 360 is the best, but I can see how its breaking annoys people tremendously. I just downloaded the Oblivion expansion pack and its made my entire console lag like hell.

Lag is poor internet connection  not and expansion download installed makes your whole system suck.

I beat the shivering isle with no problems and there are way more exclusives on the 360 then the PS3 I dont play mine much but Iam getting GT5 and MGS4 so it will get some use!

I kinda wonder if you slamming the 360 to defend the PS3 or if your serious?

PAIN! that game is awesome! anyone played it?

Just sounds like you made the wrong choice, i've had my PS3 since release day in UK and i use it almost everyday. not always for gaming mind, i don't have the time, but for evrything else it does.

and anyone else a bit tired of the GT5P is just a demo comments? CAN I HEAR AN 'AMEN'?

got it release day and i'm still enjoying it. no demo brings me tha much joy.

shame, poor PS3, boxed away, unloved. you know you can get quite a bit for your 60gb if you sold it on Ebay.

Ya  I love bouncin fools off targets! so PAINful.

There are good games coming out it just doesn't sound like you're a big fan of them. Do you like FPS's because Haze is coming out in a few weeks. As for MGS4, I think it will be such a good game that no matter what type of games you're into it's impossible not to like it. I'm expecting a 9.8 from IGN. All of the more diverse RPG's and platformers are coming out late 2008/2009 but until then it's a shooter fan's paradise.

Motorstorm Resistance Ratchet Warhawk Heavenly Uncharted UT3 GT5p, and you are crying you got nothing to play.

You don't sound like much of a gamer op.



The OP stated his opinion - and I can definitely relate. During my 3-week vacation, I played the devil out of my 360 and Wii - but fired up the PS3 a few times. It's about games - and I am not excited about the PS3 lineup. Maybe one day - and since I bought it, I have no plans to sell it anytime soon because I can still use it as a Blu Ray player when they quit making HD DVDs.

Face it - the PS3 is selling even better with the end of the format war. And some people who own PS3s aren't impressed. Count me in to this crowd. And before you call me a 360 fanboy, correct me if I am wrong, but a fanboy wouldn't buy a rival system.

PS3 is an expensive console that fails to keep my attention. Amen, OP. You gets mad props. Box that puppy up and enjoy your 360 and Wii. Pull it out when it needs to be used. At least it won't attract dust!



Dont worry. PS3 has a ten year lifespan so either you get your investment back or it collects more dust.



Wii Code: 4819-7684-2396-4558

Yeah man, Final Fantasy XIII, Metal Gear Solid, Disgaea 3, and White Knight Story.


I admit, it's a bit of an empty plate coming off the PS2, but you'll just have to give it some time. There was a reason it didn't sell none too hot in the first year, and lack of games was a big part of it.

Just remember, 360 had an extra year on the market, and Wii had its first party games in production for quite a while, they've really been on the ball lately.


I know your not a big MGS fan, and that's a bit of a shocker, since you got a PS3, but you should give the series another shot, it's actually quite good, if you can get around the gameplay.

I personally love the gameplay, but admit it's an aquired taste.

My PS3 isn't collecting dust, it's coiled, waiting to strike.



I don't need your console war.
It feeds the rich while it buries the poor.
You're power hungry, spinnin' stories, and bein' graphics whores.
I don't need your console war.

NO NO, NO NO NO.

Well you could of waited to get a second hand PS3 with games for four hundred pounds in two years time off ebay. Most potential PS3 owners will wait quite a bit longer until there is a wide range of AAA titles to chose from and the online service has been improved upon.
