Convince me to get a PS3

[Dizaster]

Yea BG 100%, the manager of some game shop by mine told me.

I heard this as well... Over here, the 60gb came out for around $1000 and came down to the $950's I think... And this still played the old PS2 games which I thought was a bonus as i've got a lot of PS2 games around that I don't mind still playing.. And I have a couple of stores near me that sell 100's of as-good-as-new second hand ps2 games for like $10 to $20 so I could build up a fair collection that way without having to drop a bundle on new PS3 games when I get bored.
Then they made a huge fuss about a "better bargain" PS3 versio, but the only real difference was that it only has 40gb instead of 60gb... Which who really cares that much about 20gb... What they didn't advertise so much was that it doesn't play PS2 games.. Maybe their is a mod to fix that up?
But anyway, i'm sure that was the plan of Sony to help phase out PS2 and move everyone on to PS3... I still think it's a dumb idea though because they are cutting off their sale of PS2 games...

I'm actually not even sure if the 60gb versions are readily available over here anymore.. I'm pretty sure stores only stock the new 40gb versions for $699, and you would have to get a 60gb one second hand..


I have to admit, i'm very very used to the PS controllers, and the xbox ones might give me a little trouble to start with.

Does anyone prefer the xbox controllers over the PS ones??
