man my thread has gone off-topic lol

LOL. Yeah your topic just went 'Broadside' :D On topic I will probably by a PS3 soon as my brother already has a 360...sorted.

First post, weeeeee.

Okay seriously, my friend whom had his 360 since lanch just bought a PS3 for LBP and Motorstorm:PR(because it has split screen, and he liked the first one when I showed him). This game does move systems so as long as there is good exclusives for the PS3, Sony can stay in this race.

First off pc gamer already so resistance 2 nope :P already got better fps catalog out there for pc. I really want to play little big planet but forking 460 dollars for the console and game isn't worth it. Nothing in PS3 line up makes me want to purchase it. Also blue-ray meh i can pay 130 dollars more for a blue ray drive for my comp so I will save 270 dollars :D. Though maybe if PS3 was 250 dollars or less I might consider for LBP :P but that will be a few years down the road

I don't know. Buying a console for 1 game makes you a fanboy of that game, not of the console or the company behind it, unless that's what you mean twestern.
Like this for instance. Say I'm a die hard kingdom hearts fan. It gets announced for the Wii but I only own a PS3 and a 360. I would buy a wii just for Kingdom Hearts 3 and nothing else.
People like to bash other consoles, it just makes them feel better. But deep down inside, they know they like the other console in some way or the other.How can you hate another console?

I'll probably buy a PS3 knowing that it has less of a chance of breaking down than the 360. Not to say the 360 is a bad system...it's just more piece of mind. As for the games, they are starting to get interesting. But i'll have to buy a decent TV first!

Well, dont get me wrong im not saying star ocean is better, Final Fantasy takes the cake between the two by FAR, i was just saying it'd be nice to play if possible.

And if you  "Want" to get into to final fantasy, i'd say somewere in mid 09 you should grab (Or earlier if you so choose) a PS3, since owning both versus and regular XIII is an epic combo plus you'd become a Dual-HD Console owner, Oh and lets not forget the always looming "Final Fantasy VII Remake" which will likely go to PS3 exclusively or PSP.

At anyrate TC sorry for going off topic man, didnt mean to lol. peace!

IMO spoken like a true closed minded console fanboy.

I bought a N64 for Mario64, bought a Snes for Super Mario World, bought 2 DSes for New Super Mario Bros (and still loving it when travelling with my girlfriend) bought a XBox 360 for Kameo, bought a gaming PC for Quake, etc. Apart from the 360 I bought I was never unhappy about buying these consoles for those great games.

I know various people who upgraded their PCs for much more money than a gaming console costed at the time just to play Doom, Half-Life 2 or Crysis properly.

Personally I think it's perfectly fine to do so and is none of your business. They may have a bigger budget than you have or simply think the game in question is that good, worthy of buying a console for. Both Resistance 2 (endless 8 player co-op and 60 player squad battles) and LittleBigPlanet (user created content) can easily provide hundreds of hours of fun entertainment, who do you think you are?

i considered getting a PS3 coz of LBP (level creator) and R2 (Leviathan Battle) and i'm in no way a sony fanboy, never owned a sony console and who knows if i ever will

Well, I plan on buying a PS3 and this 2 games, but I´m not buying the PS3 just for them. They are part of the reson, but not all of it.
