[QUOTE="sonicmj1"]Why should I buy a 160 GB PS3, when, chances are, they'll drop the price or upgrade the unit in 6 months or less? mjarantilla

Exactly. Sony's established a new precedent that's harmful to console buyers.

I'm personally waiting for the drop to $350 in May, or the drop to sub-$300 in November. Who's with me?

I'm think about getting a 360 Elite when i drops to $350, I think thats all its worth.

Why bother with the Elite? The Pro/Premium is more than good enough, unless you intend to get a lot of demos and for some reason not delete them.

[QUOTE="clone01"]

do you just go on these forums trying to bait people? last time i checked, i was a gamer. but hey, if you want to limit the fun on yourself, by all means go ahead. did i ever say i hated sony? no. did i ever say i thought the PS3 was inferior? nope. i even said i'm going to get one in the future. let's break it down, shall we?

resistance - good game, not enough for me to bite, though

heavenly sword - played it at a friend's, liked it. he beat it in two days, traded it in

motorstorm - looks good, racers aren't really my thing

warhawk - prefer a single player experience, with the exception of maybe worms, team fortress 2, and a bit of halo 3

uncharted - very cool game, but i admittedly liked gears better (and yes, the cover mechanics and gameplay are similar)

ratchet and clank - sorry, SMG takes my vote

lair - ummm

so, that's most of the currently available exclusives, i believe. everything else is multiplat

meanwhile, I (no, not every gamer, I, yes, I) loved Bioshock, Gears, Mass Effect, Halo 3, Condemned (believe that may have been multiplat), and Dead Rising. right now, IMO, more games i like.

reasons i will buy in the future:

MGS4

White Knight Story

FF XIII (maybe)

LA Noire

Little Big Planet

The Team Ico games

again, thanks for force feeding me my opinion.

vitz3

:| Wow... I don't really care about your life story. You're still an obvious Lem. Ps3 has tons of great games to play.

Honestly, could you stop trolling? He never said a fanboy comment. Please learn to read his comments.

I will buy a PS3 when:

1) It has Super Smash Bros. Brawl running at 120 FPS in 1080p

2) it Makes me breakfast

3) it becomes the President of the United States

4) It is my Best Friend

5) Plays Betamax tapes in 2160i (Thats the next big HD format... maybe)

6) Has more games.

7) It helps me remember more things it must do before i want to buy one.

Its practically confirmed that the 120-160GB PS3 is coming , itll cost $499 , have the Dual shock 3 controller, it will include a game (were all guessing its gonna be either Ratchet and Clank or Uncharted) ... It seems like a HELL of a deal, and What if it has BC? It will be probably the sweetest deal available . Would you buy it?Dogfishrisings

No because I would rather get the cheap one mainly as a movie player when it hits 299 this year (I will buy it when it hits that point). I have a PS2 but if it breaks, I'll buy another PS2 as I have an audio/video receiver that will have a HQV Reon processor to do upscaling (better then the PS3).

No, its not, and Blu-Ray has failed to establish itself as a successor to DVD yet anyway, and most likely won't for a while, if it does.

Has there really been any format to truly be better than the DVD yet? At least one that's worthwhile? I don't really think so.

You're a real Lem aren't you? You say that they're no games to play? You need to think that one over buddy. They're something in every genre on the system. Do you have a grudge against fun and happiness or something?

@TC
I already got a 60GB one. But if I didn't have one and was on the fence I'd pick one up if it had BC.

Call him a fanboy? He said games he wants to play, he didn't say there were no games period. Talk about being a fanboy. *looks at sig* lolz

or the games could just not interest him :| I can't think of any exclusive games ?I want to play on the PS3 except for LBP. Final Fantasy somewhat, but not enough to buy a system for.

HD-DVD is done for, that much is true, but that doesn't mean BluRay is on the road to being even half as successful as DVD. BluRay doesn't just need to beat HD-DVD into the dust, it also needs to convince DVD owners to give up their tried and true DVDs for something that is, quite frankly, only an incrementary improvement compared to DVD's improvement over VHS.

I just don't want to spend $500 on a console sorry. I'll wait till a major price drop and even then If KH3 isn't a PS3 exclusive its unlikely that I'll buy it.

You mean in it's exclusive library...but, yes, I agree. LPB looks good, but one game doesn't justify a console.

There was a PS3 for 300 euro nearby which tempted me for some reason, but seeing this i guess that was one of the ripped off versions. I don't have a HD TV yet anyway, and if You want to make real use of HD You're going to want a big screen.
So uhm until i have a spare 1300-1500 euro laying around, it's not very likely i'll be getting 360/ps3.

[QUOTE="Blackbond"]Its at a point where I will buy any SKU of the PS3 if it comes with BC. I will not ever buy a PS3 if it doesn't come with BC. Hence why the search for a 20GB/60GB continues.Dogfishrisings

the current 80gb has BC...

I use to love the added functionality of BC, But now that I've got a PS3 i realise now that I haven't used BC once.

Never Fill It?

Really doubt that.

ANd wait a minute, Isn't that the sort of HDD people always Buy, The one just about what they'd Expect to fill.

Remember some games install Cache files on the HDD, some games have demos, So what of your music collection ripped to your PS3, a couple of Movies on there..... Trust me 120 Gb isn't impossible to fill

Nope. I'll buy the cheapest one because I mainly want it for a blu-ray player. I'll probably pick up LBP and the next team ico game when they get to like $40.

If it has BC and if it was $200 cheaper (ie $300 price tag) I would consider buying it.

Hell, I'd even buy the 40GB one if it had BC, I was tempted to until I heard that part. For now, I'm just going to wait until there are some games actually worth playing on it right now. And no, don't bother giving me a list, the only upcoming games I seriously care about on the PS3 are FF13 and White Knight Story and I doubt either of them will be released this year.

I will when a cheaper version (less HDD space) with BC comes out, I am not willing to spend 500 dollars.

No. I've never spent more than $200 on a console except for the wii, and I was pretty peeved with that too.

Video game consols should be $200. I don't want a media center and I don't want a wanna-be PC.
