"PS3 has no exclusives, PSN is free but sucks, LIVE worths my momma's cash, wii controller is wicked ?!? , wii is not for kids, wii is next gen, "red ring of death" is a myth (360 is so good I bought 4 already), no one cares about blu-ray, sony sucks ,Ps3 costs more, I dont need wi-fi, I dont need blutooth, console dont need hdd (arcade and wii ftw!), 360 has lots of exclusives (I buy one EXCLUSIVE copy for 360 and the better one for PC), xbox 360 are the best value:i only spent 1000$ upgrading to HD-DVD?!?, a GREAT 120hdd, wi-fi, and buying a new fan and waiting for Microsoft to release a silent dvd reader so i can buy"

I guess it's all a matter of taste. And over half of the games you listed haven't been released yet.

I believe that he is stating that they are very reliable so he bought 4 of them for his whole house.

He's being sarcastic, many Lemmings would like you to believe that the RROD does not exist anymore, when that is obviously not true.

Why wouldn't an HDTV owner want a PS3? Besides the games you listed are my big reason, and the games you didn't list are great too. Blu-Ray is amazing.

Tatse is everything, you can't sell people something they don't want. Regardless of what product you are trying to sell. I know you didn't list all of the exclusives, but you can't say that the future ones will be good. That goes for every system.

The only reason I've ever needed. And amazingly enough, completely absent from the TC's list.

It is in production. Fumito Ueda has confirmed this. It has a greater chance of coming out than a game like Gran Turismo 5.

And it would be good for you to have played both ICO and Shadow of the Colossus to fully appreciate Ueda's new game. The games are connected, very subtly though.

Valkyria Chronicles, Disgaea 3, and LBP is juuuust about enough to convince me. Add WKC next year if it turns out good and I'm sold. :)

Have u ever heard u get what u pay for,there is some truth to that as far as online gaming goes.I have both the 360 and ps3 and as far as online gaming goes the 360 destroys the ps3.People actually talk,and are able to talk to each other on the 360.Psn is a very average service at best,in my opinion its piss poor.The ps3 has a couple of good exclusives but nothing worth buying a system for.In all honesty i have more fun with the 360 and thats no b.s.

Free online, love that argument from someone who just paid $500 for a product, NOTHING on THE PS3 is FREE you idiots, you guys have a hard time understanding logic? The price you pay is the price to play offline and online... on 360, only difference is you get the choice not to pay for online.

Not one cow has said better online as pro for the PS3, cheap inferior online service FTW!

Probably the only reason I'd get a PS3 is if I was one of the unlucky people that post up threads "Xbox 360 17 RROD's in the space of a week" (ok - so maybe that was a little ott, but you get my point)

Reliablity is all the PS3 has really - but thats just my point of view. The xbox 360 does everything the PS3 does, usually a little better and cheaper as well.

I have no hate for the PS3. If there was just the PS3 and the Wii on the market, i'd have the PS3 hands down, but the trouble is there is the Xbox 360 and it out shines the PS3 on almost every level.

I love these lists. I swear half of those games will end up mediocre or **** and they'll only be a few top notch games. I thought it was common knowledge that the PS3 was pretty good, just not as good as the 360. Better then the Wii by a large gap though. Maybe I'm wrong, I don't have a PS3 but I'd trade my Wii for one in a second,

The fact that you weren't able to choose a good console buying a wii, shows what poor taste you have. that explain you buying xbox360. Which exclusive game is coming to Xbox360 in 2009 that really is a must? And that will not be better playing in PC?

"xbox 360 does everything the PS3 does"

But it can't play any game on that list, nor watch bu-ray.

I find strange how i see this lie lots of times. Would be the contrary.

Games. Simply put. Wii/360/PC don't have MGS4, Socom Confrontations, Narutimate Storm, etc. Nothing else is needed to be said.

I bought it for Blu-Ray a while back, and that's the only reason why I would have kept it if the SOB didn't die on me. I wouldn't buy a PS3 again because it's a waste of cash.

Yeah, way better to spend only 1.000$ upgrading to HD-DVD?!?, buying LIVE subscription, a GREAT 120hdd, wi-fi, and buying a new fan and waiting for Microsoft to release a silent dvd reader so i can buy it too. 

Just to see my cousin playing the better vesion of the game in his PC at home.

PSN Is a great service, like you said you only get what you pay for and you get a cheap pos console with no features in 360.. I bet you don't even own a ps3, how can you say it's piss poor? People talk all the time, the difference is they may not talk as much as xbox as there are less annoying little kids...we have a more mature community, that actually enjoy playing the games not bsing with each other and bashing everyone for ammusment which is what you see on halo...go play socom or cod, or r2 and tell me poeople don't use mics on them...you can't because they do...maybe not everyone, but hell I don't use mine all the time either, sometimes I like to jump into a quick match when I don't have much time to game and getting the mic on would be a waste of time.

THIS^^ you owned him! The Elite is the only 360 sku that can even compete with the ps3 in terms of features..I wish people would not compare the bare bones arcade to the ps3. With 360 elite you don't get a blue-ray player, you don't get a web browser, no linux support for applications and home programming, pay for online service $100 a year if you pay monthly or $50 all at once. PS3 = great free online service, which is comparable to xbox live minus voice chat through different games(which is something I would never use, I play a game to play a game, if I want to chat with a friend, join the same game, I would invite them to chat in xmb, or give them a call on the phone, or hell go see them in person) you pay $50 -$100 a year on xbox for voice chat and p2p networks with Ads? PSn = no ads, slick interface, dedicated servers, trophies etc.. You also get a blue ray player, and a web browser with ps3, for the same price as the 360 elite which is missing features and you have to pay to play online. M$ also nicke and dime's everyone for everything, nothing is free on xbox.

Oops sorry your right, its 7 downloads, but only on 5 different ps3 hardwares, so you can download it 3 times with the same one if you need to.

You said it all.

360 fanboys can't see how the PS3 is way better value than the 360. Even the launch 600$ was a bargain at the time, blu-ray at that time was something to brag about (and now even more after the format won), the system durability was great and was complete. The 360 just got HDMI output years later, any hdd upgrade is very costly and all launch 360 systems are already broke. And some 360 fanboys are even ashamed to admit they bought the HD-dvd add-on. Some even have to buy new fans to diminish noise and chance of RROD.

 

Sony hardware is top notch, just look at the quality of the Sony ps3 headset and how quitter, well designed and durable is the ps3.
