#1 reason why you shouldn't buy a ps3 yet

http://www.metacritic.com/games/platforms/ps2/godofwar2

God of War 2. This game is getting rave reviews. I am fuckin geekin for this fucker. This game is going to be fantastic.

I'm counting the days until I can get it.

Since the ps2 still has so much flair why spend $600 on a system that doesn't have 1 game that compares to God of War? Simply there is no reason.

Everyone needs to get this game.

I'm not struggling to find compelling reasons why I shouldn't buy a PS3... but I can't think of one reason why I should

I'll stick with my Wii for now thanks!

The price! Its fucking ridiculous!! And you cant pre-order just the unit itself, you have to pre-order packs pushing the price to over 500 quid!

For my sins, I was considering getting a PS3 as I'm finally getting round to buying a HD TV this weekend, and figured it a cheap option as a Blu Ray unit, BUT after seeing how much they are charging I'm going for a 360 with HD DVD unit!

Fuck you Sony................... you cunts.

YAY!


Posted by napalmfuzz on 02-17-2007 07:43 PM:

eh, get the wii60 combo. i had my ps3 for about a month then sold it. 360 is better in every aspect. including graphics(cell processor... pffttt)

and this is coming from a former lifetime devoted sony fanboy. been extremely converted to xbox. sony lost all(most) of their good exclusives, so i see no reason why to get one either.

For CA$700 I can buy a PS3. A bloated, overheating, DRM-riddled piece of shit console. No thanks.

For CA$750 I can buy a 360 Pro and a Wii plus games.

That's exactly what i'm planning to do. At the very least i'm going to get a Wii.

edit: CA$700 is about 350 pounds by the way. So if you really 'must' own a PS3, order from the USA or Canada and save yourself money.

The PS3 is like scat porn.

It's expensive, not many places have it in stock and only a very dedicated minority are interested in it*.






*Neversoft for example.

That's where you're wrong, You can buy a PS3 ANYWHERE. Especially in Columbus.

After I posted my undyiingly witty comment I realised how vague that part was.

What i meant was that hardly anywhere has them in stock because they are such a flop no-one's ordered any more in.

Even at wholesale cost, if I owned some small time gaming store I wouldn't buy any more in for a while, i'd just lie and say they sold out or are hard to get hold of or something. Then persuade the buyer to get a Wii instead.

The wii and the 360 is the best combo you could get.. and for the same price as a ps3.. wow. 10x the entertainment for the same price. not that hard of a decision if you ask me.

PS3 = $599
Xbox360 $399 + HD-DVD $199 = $598

price isn't a valid argument. you save $1

That's where you're wrong. With the 360 you have an option.

Personally I never used my ps2 for a dvd player because it sucked. Why would I want a hd dvd player in my 360? Easy I wouldn't. So there the option and the cost is valid.

yah but he said he was gonna get the HD-DVD addon as it was cheaper than a ps3. in his case it doesn't make sense.

In America maybe, but if you had read my post and not been distracted by a burger in the corner of your eye you would have read that in most places in the the UK you cant pre-order the unit itself (which should be 425 UK Pounds! ), you have to purchase game packs pushing the price over 500 UK Pounds!

The Xbox 360 (WITH game) is 269 UK Pounds! and the HD DVD unit is 119 UK Pounds! (with free HD DVD) which equates to 388 UK Pounds!

NOW even if I could get a base PS3 with NO games and NO free film the 360/HD DVD is still 37 UK Pounds! cheaper (or 74 USD if you are so inclined)

So.. Buy a PS3 with no games and no film and pay MORE or buy a 360/hd dvd combo, get a free game and film and pay less?

Simple...... i bought the 360

Plus add in the cost of HD TV equipment to play the games and movie on.

No thanks, i'll wait until HD TV comes down in price a bit more.

CRT HD looks great too, might be worth an investment. For now, for me personally, HD is not a viable investment just yet so i'll hang on for another year or so.

Wii all the way.

You're neglecting the fact that not only is the bluray unnecessary, its been forced down your throat. Sony is using its customers to push its new format which may or may not flop.. i mean look at their track record with new format introductions..

plus in our hobby. why would you need it? theres far more HD content available to download and stream than there is blu ray movies or even HDdvd movies combined.

bottom line.. ps3 was a flop, and has been named as such by several pubilcations.

wii60 for total dominance

If you read between the lines what they're saying is that 100% guaranteed delivery on all existing pre-orders (existing pre-orders being people that have already ordered) in other words you pre-order it then they tell you that you're too late too get guaranteed launch date delivery but it will be as soon as they have them in stock ( as they have always done )

Here in the states, they are overstocked.

MS must be pretty confident. I was hoping they would drop the price of the 360 a few weeks before the ps3 launch. No chance of that by the looks of it though (although i'd still buy one over a ps3).

ps3 sucks because of blu-ray..dual layer dvd is all thats needed. ive never seen a game that takes up all 9.4gb, what makes you think we need bluray? ive seen the paradox rips sizes, theyre no where near the size of blu-ray
360 will win this war, with the wii in 2nd place.
im not crazy about the wii, its too much physical work..i play games to relax
