Yep I have.  Nothing innovative.  Sure it was a fun new story and worth a purchase, but I wouldn't have died had I missed out on it.

It was the best FPS (IMO) this gen not named Gears of War, Halo, or Call of Duty. I actually prefer it to all of those (With the possible exception of Gears of War) but people would be up in arms about my opinion .

 

 

 

I'd say CoD is the best this generation.  Either way, you didn't exactly offer any reason to why you prefer it, or how it may actually be innovative or new (other than the story, which by now pretty much every story in every game/movie is not innovative).

I guess I based my answer/opinion on my personal experience being in the same situation as him.  I had limited time, plenty of money, and wanted to try a few games, but in the end it just didn't turn out a good idea.  I still played my 360 games much more, and only used the PS3 for seriously just Killzone 2.

That's why if he needs a blu-ray player, I recommend he grab one for $170 and disregard the PS3 until he actually would have time to spare on it, or it drops in price.  Even when I have plenty of money, that doesn't mean it can't be better used elsewhere or just saved up for other bigger things.

no u should find it in your heart to buy a ps3 just look deep... u know u want it.



PLAYSTATION®3 is the future.....NOW.......B_E_L_I_E_V_E

 

Consoles owned: Game Cube, Gameboy Color, Gameboy Advance, Nintendo DS, PSP, PS1, PS2, PS3.

My prediction: NATAL WILL NOT help 360 sales. Maybe a 50-100k boost week 1, then a 30-70 k boost week 2, and back to the norm again after 3-5 weeks.

Metal Gear Solid 4 is the best game this generation...possibly ever.

xbox360 399.00
live account 50.00
360 hdmi 51.00
rechargeable kit 19.00
wireless network 99.99.

ps3 comes with all these things and is backwards compatible for ps2 games. plus it has a better manufacturer quality and is less likely to fall apart on you. i own a 360 and i regret no buying ps3.

So have you bought one yet? After that hypno gif I don't know how you could stop yourself, I feel a strange impulse to buy a second Ps3 myself :P

I like that the PS3 has blueray and upconverts DVDs fairly well (from what I hear) I would also like to try Killzone & Killzone2 as I hear they are pretty good. I like the idea of being able to play online, and I like the fact that I can use practically any hard drive in the thing.  

 

 Right there is a good reason to get one. Blu Ray and Killzone 2.

Really the main reasons to get a PS3 are the constant onslaught of great games and Blu Ray. The price is high, so maybe if you don't game that much, wait and see if theres a price drop in the next 6 months to a year. But get a PS3 for Gran Turismo 5. I know you said you suck at driving games, but its a must have. You won't get better till you play them.

@Maynard Tool, I agree with you for now. However in 2010, he will have many good reasons to buy a PS3. Maybe after E3 this year, he might be convinced to buy one.
