Should i get a Playstation 3?

So, I have a Wii, and for the most part, i really like it. Great inovative control, fun games, great experenice etc, but i'm looking for a system with more mature games. (Assasins Creed, COD4, Resistance, Uncharted, any other people can recomend) So i was wondering if its really worth dropping 400 dollars on it right now. Considering i'm 15 making 80 a month, thats a ton of money for me. I was thinking about the 360 but theres just something about the PS3 that i'm more drawn to. So i need to know what it has over the 360 in terms of online, reliability (how often it breaks and that stuff) games, how many people play it. If someone could answere all these that would be fantastic. And of course any more info you wanna give me is appreciated. And i have no idea what a sticky forum is and the search bar never works for me so if you could just answer my question instead of telling me to go there that would be great

Thanks

You may not want to be told where to go for your information but that what I'm going to do anyway. What I'm linking you to will answer most questions anyone has regarding "should I buy a PS3".

I got a PS3,and im loving it. The only problem is im so paranoid that its going to break if i leave the back switch on. But some people told me to turn it off when im done,but some people told me not to switch it, so i dont know what to do...HoodCheese

Don't bother flipping it off; it's not going to get damaged or some weird stuff like that if you're wondering.

[QUOTE="Singpow"]it says it has built in wi-fi, but does that mean that i can be in my room with no extra cables and just connect to my router? like the wii, ds and psp?2deluxe

Calm down buddy.

Seriously. There's no need to bring system wars into this topic.

To the TC, yes, that's what it means. The PS3 has built-in WiFi which means you don't need an ethernet cable running from your PS3 to your modem/router to get online with it.

yeah... u should... i love my 40 GB... at first spider man 3 sucks but when u watch it more than once u reallyt appreciate it... i was sitin there watchin it last night and im thinkin to myself this is the greatest movie ive ever seen lolurio1

You have bad taste in movies.

I currently have a PS3 and Xbox 360, and I used to have a Wii before I sold it. Let me tell you, Playstation 3 is awesome man, its a great investment not only for excellent games, free online, and great features, but for blu-ray which is really where the value comes into play.

Allright, well it'll still be a couple of months before i buy one. If my nazi parents will let me. lol. But if anything I will most likely get a PS3. Also do u think that there will b a price drop soon?Singpow

Not till next holiday season at the earliest. PS3 is picking up steam in sales so they finally reached a price point consumers like.

you are p***y whipped.

Wii was my only system since launch and I recently got a 40gb PS3. I love it, run, run now and buy one! Also you can use your wii as a charging station for sixaxis controlers FYI. Darthmatt

One perk of being a PSwii owner :)

xbox live is a better all around service but the system itself is unreliable and you need to drop 60 bucks on a warranty so you dont need to deal with ms customer service. psn isnt as fluid and doesnt have all the features that live does but when you are actually playing they are pretty much the same. the 360 has better games at this point but the ps3 is getting some really good ones now. the psn store is a lot better than the live marketplace because it is a lot smoother and works a lot better. psn is free but live is only $4 a month so it isnt that expensive. if you plan on hooking up to the internet wirelessly the 360 requires you buy an adapter while the ps3 has it built in. the ps3 also has blu ray which is sick if you have a nice tv.

i do own both so i am impartial and i would say that you cant go wrong with either it just depends on what system appeals to you more because they are both very good systems.

Well, that's some pretty good news, but now I regret paying extra for the extended warranty. :(

i own all three and i have played and beaten pretty much every high calliber game on each system and i would have to say the only system that i would have to have no matter what is the 360 it easily has the most amount of high calliber games and although you have to pay for xbox live it is a lot better than playstation network. they are all really cool but the 360 seriously has one of the most amazing libraries of games and it already compares with the library the ps2 had as far as great games go so i would recomend getting a 360 and as far as reliability goes i have never had any problems just dont wrap the 360 in a blanket and it wont overheat.lastemp11

I believe you are on the wrong forum.

Yeah I bought an extended warranty at Circuit City, but hey better to be safe than sorry right?

nahh dude i really thought it was crap but if u watch it a couple times it really is a good movie lol

Well.. what else r u gonna buy at 15?

Its not like you have car payments or anything. Personally, I cant own more than 1 system. I'd sell the Wii and use it towards a ps3
