no I bought it for the

  • FREE online
  • the games interest me a bit more
  • The ps3 doesn't brake as much as the 360 (no offence)
and buying a system for one game is like buying a cell phone to call one person....

I pretty much bought it just for final fantasy. But then I played MGS 1-3 and GOW 1-2, and now I have a couple of other sony exclusives that make the console worth it to me.

Yeah, i bought it because of that target render of Killzone 2. I was all set to buy a 360 (I'm a big Halo fan) and then I got a call to look up the KZ2 footage (back in 05 after the infamous E3) and I was blown away. Granted, it's been a rough road to get to being only 2 weeks away from KZ2. But once Uncharted dropped, God of War III is on the horizon, and GT5 just looks stunning, I'm now happy that I got a PS3. Not to mention blu-ray kicking serious butt.

Nah. Just got sick of playing PS2 so I decided to upgrade and get the backwards compatiable PS3 just in case I needed to revisit past games for PS1 and PS2.

Not just one game. But several. MGS, FF, Gran Turismo, Tekken, and a built in Blu-Ray player. Too bad a lot of the exclusives are going multi. And too bad its not going both ways. Never played Halo, but itd be cool to check out. Same with Gears. But overall, I am happy with my choice.

I bought mine in August of '07. If MGS 4 wasn't coming out for the system, I might not have bought it. However, now I have many games that I'm glad I bought the system for.

No. I bought it for the free online play and good hardware... games were probably third on the list. But it wasn't ONE game.

Ummm, there were definitely specific games lingering in my mind. (MGS4). Not the only reason though. Blu-ray player, and all around media center was another big reason.

Well yeah, but not just one game, I wanted MGS4, Ratchet and Clank, Final Fantasy XIII, Uncharted, Heavenly Sword, Assassin's Creed, White Knight Chronicles, Final Fantasy Versus XIII, Killzone 2, Resistance, I also wanted to play PS2 games and PS1 games in higher quality (and actually be able to save my PS1 games). Another thing that I really wanted was to be able to play Blu-Ray movies, so I'm happy.... for now. I also have a 360 and a Wii, so I'm always busy. :P

In late 2007 I wanted to play one game specifically and that game was Uncharted. But of course I knew about exclusives I would want in the future like, White Knight Chronicles, Disgaea 3, Final Fantasy XIII/Vs. And I also had a PSP so having a PS3 would unlock more features. I didn't have an HD-TV nor did I know that blu-ray would become the victory. But the exclusives I have are all awesome and so will the exclusives in the future. Can't wait for Uncharted 2 and White Knight Chronicles.

I bought mine soon after the original 60gb models dropped to $500 from $600. I've always wanted one due to growing up with a ps1 and ps2, but watching that infamous killzone 2005 "gameplay" trailer made me want one even more. To this day, I'm glad that I decided to buy it. Although these price drops are making me wish I waited it out a bit more :P

If anything, videos of Killzone 2 gameplay will surely be enough to persuade anybody to get a ps3 :D

Actually I'm a RPG fan, so I'm waiting for FFXIII, Suikoden and others ... X360 stole some licences and made them crap so I don't regret not buying a X360

The choice was easy for me anyway, I've always had Playstation(s) as it's the platform where there's most variety (not 90% shooters/racers like on X360 or games for kids/family on Wii)

[QUOTE="Treflis"]No, I knew that the PS3 would have great games and since I figured the Wii would be more child friendly then anything and I don't like Xbox, Ps3 feel natural to me, that and I've basically had 3 other sony consoles before it. I did however wait until Grand Theft Auto 4 came out before I bought one which came with Uncharted.

lol, I waited for MGS4 and got GTAIV at the same time, then later CoD4, recently FALLOUT 3, Resistance 2, Guitar Hero: World Tour...which sucks (friends have Rock Band 2 and it's way better, going to get it)....well I'm going to sell CoD4 and GH:WT, to buy Ki||zone 2 because I've played the European Demo and it's sick.

Well to be honest, I didnt buy the PS3 for a game/games. (but still cannot deny the attractiveness of some exclusives)

The reasons to buy PS3 is due to following:

1) It has Blu-Ray player

2) It has Wifi and HDMI

3) It is a reliable hardware as compare to other consoles

4) It has the best controller IMO

5) It is free for online gaming

But the most important thing is the GAME itself is region free means that I will not face any problem of game region compatible issue when I bring my PS3 back to my home country (except for blu-ray movies title, why cant Sony make them also region free??:evil:). Thats why after 2 weeks of thorough information research and consideration, I finally invested £300 to get the 80GB without PS2 B/C Bundle with 2 free games and some accessories on November last year. IMO I am so proud of my decision, I can say I never regret as a PS3 owner.

No, not really.

The reason I bought it is because my Wii was just not enough fun anymore. I don't wanna bash the Wii, it's a great console, just wasn't for the old-school gamer I am. I still have it though, in hopes of seeing a next Metroid or Zelda.

I bought the ps3 blindly, I didn't know what exclusives it had or anything, I just went with it since I've been a PS fan since the original. To which I am proud to have chosen this first over a 360, but recently i have been contemplating gettin a 360, since there so damn cheap now :P

For a while, there was only one game *for* the ps3 that I did want. But the biggest thing I wanted most was an insurance policy. While my latest ps2 has certainly outlived any of my other Sony consoles throughout the years (and is currently the only modchipped console I've ever owned), I know I can't rely on it forever. I needed a ps3 with hardware BC so that in the event my fatty ps2 finally dies, I still have a console to play my existing library. Then Sony started neutering their units. :evil: which finally led me to pay nearly $2000 before finally having a (hardware BC) ps3 that works.

Lol yeah, I was stupid enough to buy it for The Force Unleashed - and ended up buying that game not at all. My own fault. Somehow I loved the many PS2 RPGs, and hoped PS3 would face cool RPGs too, but somehow that never happened so far. =.=

Not exactly.

The main reason for me is because it is made by sony.

And I am really satisfied with my ps3, because it has so many great exclusives.

well I have stuck to one console, thats for the one-eyed fanboys I have had the 360 since its launch and always maintained I would buy a Ps3 when it came down in price and when the games started to get good

well that time came when MGS4 came out, in all honesty it was Heavy Rain that made me buy the PS3
