As of right now i own a Xbox 360 and a PSP

The metal gear series is one the all time best series, we both know that but I still can't justify buying a whole system over 1 game.

Infamous looks like a fun gimmick, but it looks like it will get old quickly

I have no interest at all in Little Big Planet

So other than those what does PS3 have or going to get that Xbox does/will not?

No no no, this works the other way around. You should convince us that you deserve a PS3! ... :) j/k Get it man, the machine is the best money I've spent in a long time.

Also please don't ask us. If you have the money buy it. If you're asking us you don't want it.

Read my Official PS3 FAQ Thread. That thread contains all the information anyone looking to buy a PS3 would need to make their decision.

For convenience, the first section has a list of all the notable PS3 exclusives with links to their Metacritic scores. The Metacritic site gives a weighted average or all reviews for a certain game, and gives you links to all the reviews.

After that, the thread gives you all the information you need to know about the PS3 regarding TVs, online experience, peripherals, accessories, Home, the XMB, etc. etc.

By the way, IboughtinFAMOUS yesterday, I've played for about 4 hours, and I'm having a blast.Thereis a greatvariety of mission types, a huge arsenal ofpowers/abilities (most of which are upgradeable),masterful controls, and a great story to boot.This game is definitely not a gimmick in my opinion.

Personally, I also love Resistance (Fall of Man and R2), Uncharted: Drake's Fortune, Ratchet and Clank Future: Tools of Destruction, and Ninja Gaiden Sigma. I'd recommend all those games to anyone with a PS3.

In all seriousness, you are asking about PS3. You really want one! You know the line up, you've seen the graphics, the blu-ray.

Join the darkside!

Why don't people just go here in the first place?

I'm not gonna try and convince you to buy something based on my opinion. You may not like what I like so there's no point on it. Click the link, google it, and do your own research.

/thread.

supa_badman

exactly, even though that is all the motivation you should need I thought it would also be worth saying that it has superior hardware and games.

inFamous, Demons Souls, Motorstorm, Killzone, resistance, uncharted, heavenly sword, god of war, Valkyria Chronicles, Disgaea 3, need I say more?

If you need someone to convince you then dont get it. Just keep your 360, it seems to be your style. Lazy.

We all love the PS3 and you will too. Do some research and decide yourself. It's so easy to spend other people's money so saying yes is easy. The games are great. Nuff said.

You won't have to go two weeks of every month without your console due to it being in transit between you and Microsoft for RROD. Whenever a hardware that normally gets 1 year warranty is extended to 3 years, it is a BAD sign, no matter how they try to spin it as a positive. If it was good, they wouldn't need to do that. Hard disk drives come with 3 years warranty standard because they are more fragile than other parts of your PC. Consoles have always been 1 year because they're durable. Most people never need their warranty, it's just there because it's required by law, and just in case. If you have 3 years warranty, you probably need it. My PS3 was actually cheaper than my 360. I paid for 4 years of Xbox Live gaming service for $200 on top of $299 for the console, so that's already more than I paid for the PS3. Then I bought an HD-DVD addon worth $200 (which is now a brick since HD-DVD is dead), a play and charge kit for $50, and I was considering the $100 wifi addon. If you have an Arcade and you need a hard drive, be prepared to be fleeced on it. All of these extras are built in as standard features in a $399 PS3. Take it or leave it. If you don't want it, don't get it. No one is going to cry over you not buying one.

Oh Iforgot to mention you can easly upgrade the hard drive to at least 500GB using any SATA laptop hard drive as opposed tothe expensive max 160GB xbox only no choice hard drive that MS forces you to buy,Oh plus if you were to persist in using the 360 to play films ??Make sure your TV or surrond sound system is turned up high ???? Because the ******* is LOUD AS XXXX ..Finally the question of design elegance ,and above all better graphics,PROVEN by Killzone 2 and MGS4 and Drakes Uncharted and Rachet and Clank and Gran Turismo 5 prologue,It makes sense all in all unless youra ****!!!

Convince me of a good reason to convince you to get a PS3 when you already have access to every bit of information I could possibly give you. You have access to the same internet we do, use it. If you can't find reasons on your own to buy one, then don't.

I'm new to this site and I've just realised I'm only worthy of the Tag "PAPERBOY" Even though I've been playing video games since 1979 and have seen and played every console the world has ever had to offer (Atari console ,ZX80,ZX81 ,BBC MICRO, ZX SPECTRUM ,COMMODORE 64 ,MSX ,AMIGA ,NES ,SNES ,MASTER SYSTEM ,MEGA DRIVE,JAGUAR, SATURN ,PS1 ,N64, DREAMCAST ,PS2, GAMECUBE,XBOX ,AND THIS GENERATION ??But Hey what do I know..Well I'll tell you ,anyone who says graphics dosen't make a game is either jealous or stupid,Because if you wern't bothered how good a game looks then why the hell did you spend hundreds of pounds/dollars on a next gen system? because the gameplay is very similar from ps2/ps3/xbox/xbox360?

1.Blu Ray, allowing more data on games and of course movies 2.Cell Processor, better chip, which will allow for much better graphics in the future 3.PSP Intergration 4.Built in WiFi 5.Can use any laptop harddrive and install other OS (had a 160 gb Hard Drive and swapped it out in seconds) 6.Web Browser 7.Cleaner and easy to use UI 8.Better superficial design (the 360 feels and looks alot cheaper, when you get a PS3 in your hands, you can feel the money 9.FREE ONLINE PLAY! 10.Slot load drive 11.Memory stick support 12.Downloadable PSP games, PS1 games, and some PS3 games. 13.Very Quiet 14.NO OVERHEATING 15.There are really no games I miss on 360 (except Gears of War online), but PS3 exclusives are getting better and better....Killzone 2, Uncharted, Little Big Planet, Metal Gear 4, Final Fantasy VS XIII, Infamous, Resistance 2 plus, in the future after developers learn how to take advantage of the PS3 graphical power, you will see a bigger difference in graphics.
