Forums - Sony - Why dont you have a ps3?

Sky Render on 24 July 2008

A common reason: because nothing (and I do mean nothing) on the system interests me, presently available or in the near future. What few titles sound remotely interesting to me either have a bad reputation with me (FF13 has FF12 going against it on my personal record, and Level-5 botched Rogue Galaxy badly enough to make me wary of White Night Story), or would be more interesting on PC or Wii (LittleBigPlanet begs for mouse or Wii Remote controls).

Um not enough money and lack of good exclusives that I'd want.

But mainly its hard enough to support 2 consoles... 3 would just be impossible.

Not enough money to get one yet, mostly because I still want a lot of games for my 360.

I don't see Nintendo written anywhere on the console.

Because it's against my religion......
no, I'm kidding. I'm waiting for Blu-ray to become mainstreem.

Because I can't afford it and there are no games out right now for it that appeal to me. The games that do appeal to me will come out sometime later, but waiting that long isn't...good. There's a reason why some people call it the "DelayStation."

Meh, 5.5/10.

The problem with the PS3, for me, is that it's just too much of an investment. Buying consoles is really damn expensive. Once you purchase a PS3, controllers, a game or two, a headset, cables, etc., it can become a very hefty price tag. Plus, a lot of the games exclusive to the PS3 are "I can live without" games. While the PS3 does have some good exclusives, most of them are not motivation enough to buy the system. Heavenly Sword and Uncharted (among other games) look like a lot of fun, but I won't die if I don't play them. The only real exception to this is LittleBigPlanet (I'm not a MGS fan). White Knight Story also is a great motivation.

Hatchet, I was under the impression you owned a PS3.

OT: I have a PS3 and I like it, but if I didn't review games, I wouldn't have bought one for a while. It has some good games, but IMHO, it doesn't offer enough of a distinction to justify the pricetag. Sure, it has Blu Ray - but I actually uses HD DVD a lot more than my Blu Ray. Plus, I wasn't going to jump into the HD format war until much later. Lastly, the current lineup is ok, and the future one is legit, but it is in the future and could change drastically. I am a current gamer who hates waiting. If I am going to spend my money, I want to go to a store and buy the titles right off the bat.

Anyhow, I think it was D21Lewis who said 3 PS3s ... I can't pass this up.

That can be arranged. You would just need to violate a trademark. I'll be the look-out while you do it, but if you get caught, then I don't know you and you don't know me. Capiche?

All the people in this thread are brainwashed by Nintendo. All I can say to those who do not own a PS3. "You guys fail at life."

I dont wanna pay a inflated price for console so Sony can trojan horse blu-ray. I just want a video game console not a hd movie player. Also too few exclusives, the ones that are left dont justify the expensive price of the console, GTA4, CoD4, FFXIII are all multi platform now.

This is good news for Sony actually. The reason the PS3 is not in more homes, is almost exclusively because of cost. When you look at why people don't own a 360 (in your other thread), cost is not as much an issue. They site other reasons.

This means as both console reduce there prices, Sony will be in much better position.
