Convince me to get a PS3

[Kev]

Come on guys someone convince me also that this is a good buy

One of my kids has a birthday coming up and i was relying on the PS3 to bail me out

as the spoilt little brats already have everyother console on the market, all the handheld ones and a laptop each

i risisted the urge to get them one for christmas as i didnt fancy seeing £50 disks getting trodden on by my new years visiting nepews and nices... but now i'm really struggling.

are you guys saying don't buy the PS3

If your at all technical Saddo get a 360. Just learn to mod it, my brother has done loads it's easy apparently and you never have to pay for any games.

GET THE PS3!!!

I got one a while back and you won't be dissapointed, great look, great graphics and have it flat or on it's side and a whole collection of cool games, in HD and comes witha wireless controller and 40gb or 60gb built in memory.

The best bi.: PLAY ONLINE FOR FREE!!! XBox uses have to pay £40 a year to play online when it is absoloutely free for PS3 uses, also the controllers are easy and great to hold unlike the big fat ones the X-BOX have with about 40 buttons on.

GET THE PS3!!!

[Saddo]

Got a 360 mate might look into modding it.. but to be honest mate it would cut my berthday and christmas options right down if they had every game

The best bi.: PLAY ONLINE FOR FREE!!!

Sold... Cheers mate

The PS3 will still play PS1 & PS2 games, will it not?

I remember years ago when I never thought I'd need or want an NES again when they came out with SNES and N64, but now I'd pay as much for a working NES as I would a PS3 or a Wii (not really ).

I have a working NES and a working SNES. I never owned a N64 but did have a GC that the ex-wife took when she left.

I tried to sell the SNES at GameStop and they laughed at me.

I also had a TurboGrafx 16 which a sold to a kid in highschool after having it for only a few months.

I did the same thing, but before the guy laughed at me he called his other friends just so more of them could

so dizaster.. i beat God of War 1 the other day, pretty killer ending.. I was sort of hoping for a little more story, like who that dude was that was digging Kratos's grave.. maybe i just missed that part of the story..

anyway, definitely one of the best console games i've ever played, the puzzles were GREAT.. The whole Greek mythology size of it was fantastic, but with all that said, i'm SO GLAD that it's over.. some of those puzzles took me forever, but that's what makes the game so great.. anyway, i'll be borrowing from my cousin, god of war 2 soon.. are they about the same length and difficulty as far as puzzles go?

Another thing about the 360 a number of my mates told me as they have it in college, say it's unreliable as it's always breaking and then have to take it back the shop all the time.

Awesome! Yeah i'm trying to think about the puzzles in number too.. I think they are about the same.. There were definetly a couple of places where I was stuck for a longgggg time trying to figure out what to do next, only to find it was actually something simple that I had missed over and over, which I think it what gets you.
Overall though, the fighting controls are the same, but his chains and the way he moves has improved a little. You'll feel that straight away, and trust me, it immediately feels awesome.. The story gets more indepth and plays out a bit better. It probably takes about the same amount of time I think. The graphics have been fine tuned. The levels have taken a few steps up as far as atmosphere and scenery. You have this flying option where you can temporary float across area's.. It shouldn't work as well as it does! But you love every minute of that as well..

Basically their is no area that is hugely different or better, but if you took every aspect of number 1, then added 20% more on to it, then that's number 2... Which is great because they had a winning recipe which really they could have just added a whole new set of levels and I would have loved it just as much, but everything has had a lick of fresh paint...

I not only have a working NES but a working Power Pad, and working Duck Hunt Gun.


I also have plenty of games for it: Super Mario Bros. 1-3, Breakthru, Track and Field, Duck Hunt, Double Dribble, MegaMan, etc

I never got the game I really wanted for it though.....Zelda.
