- Its 600 bucks!!! And you havent even got any games or an HDMI cable yet - "You can use that 600 bucks for kick ass upcoming 360 games & XBOX Live Arcade Games"

- You promise to get it when MGS4 comes out!!! - "You wont need the PS3 if MGS4 gets confirmed on the 360. I say return the PS3 & wait until we get a definite yes or no about MGS4 on the 360. The PS3 is not worth it right now for one game"

- My parents will kill me - "You deserve to die"

If you dont agree with my responses then let your parents come for you
 
Okay this is my take on it, many people will say that my opinion doesn't mean s**t because I’m a biased little Sony f**k but honestly I don't care, I’ll try and help you out in any way I can. This is my take on the situation.

You should keep the Playstation 3.

Reasons why you should keep the Playstation 3 is because this console kicks the s**t out of all of the rest of them. Honestly in my eyes the Playstation 3 is worth $600 even if some say it isn't they are just trying to make themselves feel better and try and trick themselves into thinking they don't want it because they know they do. They just can't afford it right now but trust me it’s amazing.

This console has got it all, you get a Blurray player that costs over 1,000 dollars just to buy and you're getting one for 600. That’s awesome, next you also get a built in hard drive that allows you to save movies, games, trailers, ECT. on it. You also are able to store Playstation 2 memory cards on it and keep it on the hard drive and not have to deal with the cards anymore.

Here an article that talks about the blurray for Playstation 3 http://www.news4gamers.com/ps3/News-17305.aspx

Also look at how freaking sweet the graphics look right now. I mean look at Resistance, the game is astonishing well done and easily the best looking launch title for the Playstation 3 and the best launch title almost period. It is Sony's answer to Halo and in my eyes is worth getting the Playstation 3 for.

The game is amazing, and many people who have played the demo just say it sucks but I’ve played the demo and am like "Dude this is not a good representation of the game." The game is amazing how well everything plays out. You have so much happening on screen and with no hitches in the frame rate, it’s astonishing.

Also there are explosions everywhere guys running around left and right, yelling commands at each other, glass that flies everywhere. Chimera jumping out from around corners, learning from your every move. It’s amazing. You'll play the game and they will do some pretty sweet s**t. But also they kind of learn from you, if you're a strafer in a first person shooter then they will use that to their advantage.

If you like to take cover they will take it as well. However they charge you a lot because they want to kill you and the story basically says that the foot soldiers know their lives are worthless so they try and kill you as aggressive as possible to progress the Chimera invasion.

Also you get an awesome story, sweet graphics, awesome weapons that are original; you also get to feel like you're watching a movie. It’s awesome. I don't think many words can describe how awesome of a game Resistance is. However I'm not saying you might like it because you're tastes may differ but this game is defiantly a reason to buy a Playstation 3.

This is Sony's answer to Halo. And as the guys over at Gameinformer said "There’s a good reason why Master Chief has been looking pale these days. Sony just dropped a bomb down his pants. No matter how you cut it, Resistance is PlayStation’s answer to Halo. It bombards you with relentless action, opens your mind to new gaming possibilities with its inventive selection of weapons, and offers a multiplayer experience so deep and dangerously addictive that your hands may permanently form to the contour of the controller. Insane 40-man online battles, weapons that can shoot through walls and around corners, having to violently shake the controller to free yourself from an alien that has latched onto your neck – there are few experiences in gaming that are this exciting, and thanks to the development muscle of Insomniac, this finely polished and balanced. The only blemish that this game has is the uneventful finale to the single-player campaign. Outside of this, Resistance pounds you into submission with its remarkable gameplay. Without question, it’s worth getting a PS3 just for this game."

If you sell the Playstation 3 you'll be missing out on this awesome game that easily ties with Gears of War. It took 360 a year to get a killer app and you get one right at the launch gate.

Plus like the guy at GameInformer said the On-line will bewilder you. It is amazing, best multiplayer game I have ever played. It’s crazy with forty players, its just explosions everywhere, bullets cutting the tension through the air. You turning corners hoping not to encounter someone and be thrown off guard.

I have played the online for 8 hours straight because I was so addictive and man I didn't even notice any lag. The playstation 3 servers are amazing, while Xbox live still has lag issues and Halo can't even handle 16 players. I say that is quite a feat.

Another thing, Sony said that you are paying for potential and honestly you are. According to many analysts they say a ton of the Sony bashers will be eating their words by 2007. They say the potential for the Playstation 3 has not been reached yet and it will blow you away when it is met.

All in all I really can't tell you how awesome the Playstation 3 is, I mean it’s just amazing how sweet it is and I really don't think words can really describe how much I love the Playstation 3 and how amazed I am by it. Right at launch you are getting great games like Resistance and more to come like Motorstorm and possibly Killzone 2 if the reports are true.

All in all I honestly think I would need a ton of time to try and persuade you why you should keep your Playstation 3 but honestly I can't. I'm just getting really unfocused over trying to tell you what's awesome its making me want to go play it. So I think I’m going to cut it short now and got play some Resistance.

All in all though if you want more info I'll be glad to help just pm me and I'll answer you questions as best as I can.

I think you won't be disappointed, you should just open it up and play it for a while and see if you like it and if not you can always re-sell it. I think you should just take the chance.

Hope to see you on-line sometime. :D
 
Return it. You've already got a 360. You can pick up a ps2 dirt cheap (if you don't have one) and only miss out on the couple of ps3 games and blue ray.

And there's no point in keeping it to try and sell on ebay. The prices were only worth it the first week or two. Right now, the system alone will only get you about a hundred bucks in profit if you're lucky because most everyone who bought one did it to sell on ebay.

Okay i'm going to help you out in your bind just give me a second.

This upcoming post should be predictable
 
PS3 sucks right now.
And you will have no "status", unless you want to be laughed at because you spent $600 for a video game system. I did that when my friend bought his.
Get a Wii, girls are into older games, like Mario and Donkey Kong, not new uber-violent games.
 
Wow how can anyone take one person seriously when you can see ahead of time a 110 % biased answer like that & its been prooven not all weapons in Resistance are original like that one grenade you thought Halo 3 stole from Resistance. If NOFX keeps the PS3 based on (The Lizards #1) reply hes officially a Sonian
 
THE LIZARD#1 said:
Wait he has a 360?
Yup. And I like to add that if it is true that MGS4 comes out for the 360, im defintely returning it! No point in getting then.

Like I said the best bet is to wait it out for as long as possible surely we will get the final word within the next 30 days

Yes, but we are not talking about that we are trying to help this guy out with his bind.

Also Resistance's weapons are pretty original if you think about it, I mean they have their own personality to them and they can some what be tied to another weapon in another game but mostly all of the guns have been thought up of in Ratchet and Clank and brought over to Resistance.

The only weapon though that I can tie to Halo is the Bullseye which has a very diffrent functionality to it.

How exactly are you helping this guy if your just going to say how awesome it is ? There is no way that NOFX can make a fair decision based on your post alone

If you're getting it only for MGS4 then like Assman said, you should wait it out. Also if you're not sure right now why don't you just return it and wait the whole thing out.

Wait for a price drop, wait for some more games, wait to see if the graphics change. I mean really theres no need to rush it, I only got mine for Resistance and i'm completley happy with my purchase and can't wait to see what the future holds for the Playstation 3.

But on the other side you already have a 360, I mean you can have great games like "Gears of War, Oblivion, GRAW, Halo 3, Bio-shock, The Darkness, Alan Wake, Assassin's Creed." and many of those are coming to the Playstation 3 but according to many developers they aren't going to take to much depth into the Playstation 3 for it costs to much money to develop for so basically you'll get the same game only on a diffrent brand.

May I ask, what if NOFX?

Anyways thats true, I was just trying to say how sweet the game was and how cool it is and really fun on the Playstation 3. I was trying to tell him about Resistance so maybe he would have another game to like other than that one that he wanted.

Just trying to show him another game that might win over his opinion on the Playstation 3.
 
A decision like this one needs to be look at all sides & all possible answers & your view on the Playstation 3 is not helping one bit here. If NOFX opens it & does not care for it the only thing hed be able to do basically is take it to Gamestop to send it in unlesss he has a warranty on the Playstation 3 that is.
 
Sell it, NOFX. Then I may actually respect you.

Well if I decide to keep the PS3, Im getting Resistance as my first game. Thats been the plan from the start. I like that you can do 40 players online. The Graphics looks sweet and I can never get enough a good FPS game!!! The problems are that I dont like the PS controller when it comes to FPS! I have a PS2 and it was so hard to play FPS games like Medal of honor, Red Faction, and Time Splitters on a PS2 contoller. I just perfered at the time with a mouse and a keyboard. That was until I played COD2 on a 360!!! The controller was flawless!!! Mastered it in 5mins and I dont have to tell you guys how good I am in COD2!!!:cool: The other problems are that it seems alot of PS3 have some issues with its HD connection. I have an HDTV and I will surely pissed off if it can only do 480p!!! Plus I have to spend an additional 100 bucks for an HDMI cable. But with all that said if MGS4 is a PS3 exclusive than that will be deal breaker for me. :up: Until than im undecided.

You can find out if your tv works withte PS3 without hooking it up (at least I think you can). What kind of native resolution does your tv have?

I'm pretty sure you're fine then. The way I heard it, the PS3 doesn't read 1080i signal and downconverts it to 480. I think your tv though has a signal of 720p so it can display that. I think you will be fine, but to be safe, you might want a few more opinions.

BTW, how is that television? I was actually thinking about getting that one but went with a different one instead.

Its been great for gaming and my movies so far! My only complaint is that its going for 1100 on best buy now!!! :mad: I bought it for 1400:(
 
And honestly, if you are this conflicted about what to do with the PS3, then I say return it. If you return it and decide you actually really want one, then you can always buy another in a while (and maybe even at a cheaper price) whereas if you keep it and decide you don't really want it, then you are screwed somewhat.
