well my mum just inherited 30grand and i got 10k. 1k which i can spend now and 9k for when im 18. so i wanted a new toy =D

i got a 360. but the 360 has had so many letdowns in games which the ps3 exclusive games dont seem to have as many. and it appears to run better. by the way i am not an achievement vvhore.

i got a HD tv that is beutiful.

but i dont want to use it for media. psp basicly anything apart from games. as its a console. it should be for gaming not for watching a film. anyway id rather sit in my chair and watch it on my pc =D much easier.

so basicly is it worth getting a ps3 when i already got a 360 and i dont have a psp. wont watch films. just for games games games.

also as i might be moving to canada are they region free?

cheers =D

Yes, if you really want the exclusive games that are coming out this year like, Metal Gear Solid 4: Guns of the Patriots, Killzone 2, Haze, Final Fantasy, Resistance 2 and some others that I can't think of right now, but if you aren't really interested in those games, just stick with the 360 and save that $1,000 for better things.

I own both systems and would definitely recommend that anyone who can afford it should buy both consoles. I love both systems and enjoy all the exclusives each console has to offer. Buy the PS3. You won't regret it.

I have had my PS3 since Launch and really love my system. It would be a good buy for you if only you plan to use it as often as your 360. Enjoy kid.

Yes, the Ps3 has many factors that surpass the 360, but also the 360 surpass the Ps3 in some. The Ps3 has better graphics, better movies (in my opinion), and some really good exclusive games that are worth playing. Still, you will no be happy with the way they manage online (although its going to change), and the store is missing a lot of content. Still its worth buying. tofycoco[] - brought to you by TripleTags.com

Yes, get the PS3...NOW! The 80 GB version is soon going away...but the 40 GB is just as good. I just got a 32" 120 Hz, 720p LG HDTV...but i'm not setting it up till all my exams are over (5 more days).

This is good advice. Consider investing the moula. Then just bury that consideration and go buy a PS3. You won't regret it (or, here's hoping you don't). =]

Of course everyone is going to say yes on the ps3 forum but you might as well since the 360 is going to lose eventually since they didnt mention the ultimate xbox at the CES and it cant play blu-ray which won the format war.

Well, I don't know about FF this year, but certainly next year, plus all the games that will not go to PC (assuming you even have a high end PC), plus the blu-ray player (which is a great player btw). Most especially if the HDTV you mentioned is 1080p, but even if it isn't.

Things will go off topic quickly if you start taking jabs at Canada, lots of Canadians at GS... including me. There are good games right now, plus great games on the way, plus the bluray, plus reliable hardware.

Your call, nothing is really rushing you to buy a PS3 right now. I mean, I like Motorstorm, Resistance, Uncharted and Ratchet and Clank; but none of them really shot out as a "I must buy a PS3 now" title. Those titles are Metal Gear Solid 4, Killzone 2, LittleBigPlanet, Resistance 2 and GT5. Get one now or halfway through the year, you might be able to score one for $100 cheaper if there is a price cut.

DAMN! So freaking lucky man.

Lol, I have both and I have to say its probably one of the best decisions Ive ever made. If gaming is a huge part of your life at the moment, like it is mine, then I say definatly say get one! I dont have to worry about exclusives (Nothing interests me now or probably ever in the Wii) and you have more variety of games.

But yea, definatly do it. You might not get much use out of your PS3 till Q2 or Q3 of this year, but then and after it will definatly be worth it!

It's pretty common nowdays to own more then one console.Plus it minimizes fanboyism.

Dude you're asking the following question in a PS3 forum: Should I get the PS3 and forget about my 360? That's more or less what you're asking and in a forum like this the obvious answer is yes from everyone.

The 360 is a good console however it's reached it's peak long ago, the games won't get any more impressive or technical than what they are now. The PS3 has huuuge potential for the future, I've read articles says none of the games have even tapped into 30% of the PS3's power, not even ones like Assassin's Creed or Resistance or Ninja Gaiden Sigma. So that says alot. The PS3 is a much better long term investment. HOWEVER, my father works for Microsoft and he told me that Microsoft is in the works with a newer XBOX. He said it might not be like a full flesh new XBOX, like XBOX 720 or anything lol but he said it's definately going to be some upgraded version (not like the black elite one) with a faster GPU and processor etc, to catch up to the PS3. (if it can) So who knows..

Well, since I got my PS3, the 360 has been collecting dust quite frankly. I'm actually thinking of selling the thing.

Definitely, if you have the money (in this case I would guess so :)), go for it. If you have open mind and enjoy gaming, all three consoles are very fun, especially Wii with bunch of friends.

lol dude i can't believe you're even asking that question...PS3 is worth every penny. I had a 360 and at one point i could almost consider myself a 360 fanboy, but then i decided to get a PS3 and am very glad i did get it. i definitely recommend getting a PS3. and if you don't have the money, i would sell your 360. yeah, really, i like my PS3 that much better.

bottom line: get the PS3
