Post by: rod on January 10, 2007, 04:51:02 PM
pros:

its hot new hardware to tinker with, always lasts a good week for me just messing with the settings etc :D

i THINK id like resistance, but not overly. it looks somewhat fun.

i like ridge racer



cons:

ridge racer 7 is apparently ridge racer 6.5?

motorstorm has a pathetic amount of tracks?

resistance doesnt interest me THAT much, i dont think id finish it

----------------------------------------------------------------------


thats the way i see it, i have the money, but after i buy it id be pretty broke. but new hardware is so tempting to me, heck i even bought a wii!!  :lol i find myself looking at ps3 prices every day now. and i know when that starts happening with me i end up cracking. but argh 900AUD for me with NO games...should i?

I probably wouldn't ever buy one of those, if you're going to buy a system for a game it has to be a game of the generation not some weak MGS4/motorstorm bullshit.

i bought one... and now it's got a thick layer of dust on it.  i barely play it =\.  i agree w/ some of the people in this thread, wait a while before a decent number of games come out.  you're not missing much.  unless you've gotta have everything video games NOW then don't worry.  i'm too much of an early adopter to have passed it up.  yes, i have bad impulse buying habits when it comes to gaming.

Buy one dude the Xbox had no good games when it came out either, but once they come they'll come.

I don't take console biases as that's some real petty bullshit, but I'm having fun with it, I like the demos so far, and some games I want are coming out.

If anything it's just a media player until then, but I have fun with the demos avaliable

$600 is a lot of money for a medial player and some demos.

But then again hey it's your money....

It's the fucking PSP interface with less features.  :P

It's okay.  To be honest I haven't played much of it, mainly because of Gears Of War.

It IS RR6.5  Although it IS also the better game.  The new tracks are great and look very nice, plus they added slipstreaming and improved the single player mode.  I also prefer RR7's soundtrack over RR6's.

Quote
motorstorm has a pathetic amount of tracks?

It has like eight, yeah.  But they're big and wide open, and there's different ways to get through them.  The Japanese version might as well be the "beta," but even then it's a hell of a lot of fun to play.  Wait and see how the U.S. version turns out.

Scratch another game off that list, then.

If there's no games you really want for it, why bother?  Wait for something to come out that you really want.  PS3 is incredibly weak right now.  That will change later on.  I use my PS3 for playing PS2 games with faster loads (some of them) and better visuals (also only some of them), plus for downloadable games like Tekken.  But I pretty much just play my 360 90% of the time, with the Wii and PS3 just sitting there.

Dude, the PS3 costs what? $600? From what you've said that would be a considerable dent in your wallet. If you can't make up your mind, don't bother with it right now. Whatever game you think you might be interested in now will still be there when you can make a more confident decision. Sheesh. If you are going to be a consumer whore at least be a smart consumer whore.

If you have a HDTV. Then yes. It's a perfect and cheap Blu-Ray player and there are some excellent games coming out for it.

Ps3 is still better value than a Wii.

I'm in the same boat.  I want a PS3 but can't really figure out why I want one so bad.

buy the hd-dvd player if you want hi-def movies. you already have the 360, pick up some more games for that instead.

You've mentioned like two games that you know you'd like. :lol

Wait a while.

It's not even worth half it's price at this point, let alone it's full 600.
