Despite the common conception that I am raving Lemming, I did go out and buy a PS3. It was a great deal, and... well it's too long for a forum post, the details are all in my blog (the link above my sig.)

In any case, I have Motorstorm, Resistance, and GTHD and Sigma demos so far. So... I'm here thinking, now what? Lair in August and Heavenly Sword in September and Haze sometime this year. Am I missing anything? What are current PS3 owners playing that I don't know about? (I've already played the multiplat big ones for the 360) Not trying to start a flame war, just trying to get the most out of my PS3.

Well, if I owned a PS3 I would pick up MLB: 07 The Show. I have 06 for the PSP and that is an amazing game. Uhh, I think that and Sigma. That's all I know.

The Darkness.

It's multiplat, but it's still great on PS3, if you haven't played it on the 360 yet.

'Master mod' and 'raving lemming' don't go together. And anyone who isn't so blindly ignorant to see that the PS3 is infact a great console with serious potential will have hours of enjoyment.

Super StarDust HD and Ninja Gaiden Sigma are the hot games right now. We waiting for Warhawk and Lair to drop soon. There is an inner-system battle between Warhawk and Socom: Confront. right now. I say go with both. I'm not a shooter fan, but R:FOM is still the game to play. Don't forget about Tekken: online, Rachet and Clank, Home, and Pain. Congrats on your great deal.

Ok, it might make sense to assume that if he came in here bashing the PS3, but he didn't. He asked what games he should be looking into. Also, you could try checking out his blog. ***.

Hmm games that people haven't already talked about... You can check out some PSN games like flow etc. Never played it, but it seems to have an interesting concept... Tho from what I know, it isn't for everyone.

Also pick up a Virtua High Grade Arcade Stick. It's a must have if you have the PS3. Even if you don't like fighting games, still buy it.

I want one but theres no way I will buy it until rumble is reintroduced, we get a $400 price point, more 3rd party dev experence and more online experence. I need that $600 this year to buy 360 software. Late adopters will be sitting pretty when they get a PS3 in a couple of years.

Think of it as long term purchase. Given the mediocrioity of the 360's lineup in 2008 the PS3 should get a lot of play from younext year, and there are a few gems that should tide you over this year as well (Haze, Racthet, Uncharted etc)

Is there much more content that NG: Black? I know the graphics are improved and you can play as Rachel, but as someone who has beaten the Xbox version about a half a dozen times is it worth it?

Dude, I got one too, I was vehemently anti Sony until their E3 conference impressed me enough and convinced me that the PS3 will actually have games in the future.

Ironically, my 16 month old 360 has given me less problems in terms of being defective than my first 500$ paperweight... errr PS3.

The problem you're facing with the PS3, aside from the scaler issues, is that you've bought it *in addition* to an Xbox 360. When you first buy a PS3 or 360 as your "HD gen" system, you get access to all of the exclusives for that system, plus all of the multiplats on the market. When you buy a second "HD system", you only get the exlusives for that system added to games you can buy. Obviously, if you're only looking at PS3 exclusives, you got access to fewer games for your money than you would have by buying just one system. It doesn't help that the PS3 isn't a graphical leap over the Xbox 360.

Right now, the PS3's exclusive list is a lot of titles that come out in the future - being there for HOME, Little Big Planet, Metal Gear Solid 4, Killzone 2, and Final Fantasy XIII seems exciting to me, but I won't lie, I view the situation with owning both systems as one of waiting. Neither system is a leap over the other right now, they're just subtle differences. McDonalds or Burger King? It's still a hamburger.

If I had a PS3 right now, I'd be waiting for the release of the Little Big Planet demo, Metal Gear Solid 4, and Killzone 2 with eager eyes... there are obviously great multiplats like CoD4, Haze, and GTA IV coming, so it doesn't seem like a bad time to have either system. $500 is a lot of cash, I'm glad you got some movies and an extra controller out of the deal.

I'd say wait until after X07 to say something like that. E3 07 focused on this year's games. They haven't really made big reveals as to next year yet.

To the TC, your problem is my problem (kind of). The only difference is, I haven't bought a PS3 yet. I really want to, but every time I consider it, I think "What would I buy? What haven't I already played on my 360 that I want for the PS3? Resistance." Actually, I also want NG Sigma. I know you said you've beaten the Xbox game half a dozen times, but come on, can you really get enough of that game!

Anyway,your issueis why I'm giving it a year or so before I buy one. You will have some great games coming out in the not too distant future (others have listed them). I hope it works out for you though!
