PS3 Games...

So what are the real 'Hot Titles' for the PS3 that can't be had on the 360? Since I might be keeping this thing....:cool:

[Shizelbs]

Tekken Super Tag Team 49
Crash Bandicoot 11
and about a million Super Happy Fun japanese RPGs you've never heard of before.

That's your way of saying there are none, right? :p

[Shizelbs]

Right

sell it and get a few more 360 games

[Demiurge]

There aren't any 360 games I don't have that I want.

[MikeC78]

Ebay it!:)

[Shizelbs]

You can't wait another week or two for some more must have games? (For the 360, that is)

Be patient. :)

[Demiurge]

No, I'm just jonsing for Kate Beckinsale in HD. Sorry. :o

[cheddar]

Now there's something that we agree on. Yep, you can't get vampire kate in HD on the 360. Although I might be tempted to put the ps3 on the bay as well, if you do get a look at the disk, be sure to tell us how she looks, er, I mean the PQ and such...;)

And I'm really enjoying the 360. Just completed GRAW and picked up GOW :D.

Oh, we agree on lots based on your posts on other subject matters. We're just bitch slapping each other over brand names.

Pretty effin' funny I have the PS3 & 360 now, and you have the 360.

LOL. I just noticed that. LOL.

[mutelight]

The PS3 is a great system but as of right now the only game worth having is Resistance. A majority of the other games out are also available on 360 and the run better. I would honestly sell it and by the time you can walk into the store and pick one up there will be a lot more worthwhile games. This gen developers creating multi platform titles are going to be using the 360 as their base machine and then porting games over to the PS3. Just the opposite from last gen.

Buy PS3. Wait for X-mas demand to build. Sell PS3. Profit.

I agree with others here that compared to the 2nd gen games on the 360, the launch titles on the ps3 aren't all that special. Resistance looks cool, but looks more like a 1st gen cross between COD2 and GOW. I'd say to really get the most out of the sony system you'll have to wait until the next crop of games come out.

Right now I've got GOW on my polk surround system on 1080i with the lights out. I have to shake it off for a while after each session it's so good.

And yeah, you've got my dream Christmas set-up, you ba$tard ;).

[Shizelbs]

Microsoft did a great job making sure the 360 had a very good launch line up, and with more great games to soon follow the launch (GRAW).

PS3 is less impressive in this aspect.

I happened to be in Best Buy on Wednesday when their 2nd shipment came in. After getting trampled by crazed teenagers I dusted myself off and continued my CD shopping. After 15 minutes I noticed that there were more PS3s left than people in line, so I figured why not and wandered over. It turns out that the l33t 60GB models sold out first, and there were folks that wanted to hold out for the 60GB rather than get the 20GB. So I ended up with a 20GB for Blu-Ray playback.

For giggles I check out the available games (I'm not a gamer), saw the $60 pricetag and said "No effin' way!" I guess this one will be used only as a movie player (still half the price of any other Blu-Ray player out there other than the problem-laden Samsung).

[cheddar]

That's pretty interesting people holding out for the more expensive 60GB model. Since that model holds no advantage for the average gamer except for built in wireless networking. And that's only a convenience thing at best.

The 20 GB one just lacks the multimedia ports. I don't think there's anything that's gonna use that extra space on that drive in the near future, considering even with Live, the 360 only has a 20 GB drive.

Means the teenagers are opting for the most expensive machine available without a second thought...

Heh, I don't know if teenagers can afford that thing. I don't know why Sony made a 'tard' pack for the PS3, it didn't work well for the 360.

It's just something about buying a crippled machine, whether it is or isn't, you're going to want the upgrades, and it's going to cost more than the the $600, so why bother?

[polksda]

I would hardly call the 20GB version crippled. For your extra $100 all you're getting is 60GB instead of 20GB (since both are user-upgradeable, you're better off swapping in your own HD anyway -- if you're looking for more HD space to begin with you're more likely to want to put in a 160 or 200GB drive; 60 isn't enough of an increase over 20), media card slots for cameras and such, and wireless.

Both models have Blu-Ray, HDMI output, and an ethernet port. In my case, since it was purchased almost exclusively for BR playback, the 20GB version is fine and dandy. No need for me to spend the extra $100...

Polksta...I think it would be a fine Blu-Ray player....but why did you not buy 2? You would have had a free blu-ray player...plus money in your pocket.....But glad to see yoyu got one...enjoy it!!

Happy Ending I and Happy Ending II.

Happy Ending I and Happy Ending II.

Do they come with a better punchline? ;)

[landry_p2000]

Hey Demi. Keep it for the blu-ray if nothing else. I love my 360, and if I get a PS3, it will be for the hdmi out put and blu-ray player. Those damn dvd players average a grand!

[tommyboy]

SELL IT!!!


demi, you will thank me later

[Demiurge]

Okay, show me some love by clicking on the link, please....

I cannot believe people are still buying those for such high prices.

Best of luck on your auction though! :cool:

"I don't really know much about them! BUT... I might not have one by Christmas! As a consumer whore I would be incomplete!!!! AHHHHH BUY IT NOW!!!" :p

I don't understand it myself, but I think I would be an idiot if I didn't sell it because I couldn't wait a month if I really wanted one. It's like cashing in for having patience. :p

Not unlike a doctor ?


The prices of PS3's on Craigslist here are starting to drop like a lead balloon.
Good luck on your auction, Demi.

[Demiurge]

I'll be more than happy to keep it. I'll be fine in the end either way. Didn't really buy it with the intent to sell it, but it made it easier :)

[landry_p2000]

Wow I would sell it too! I retract my previous post.:eek:

[tommyboy]

no bids yet. uh-oh...

still 4 hours left though, you know these video game freaks will have this up to 1500 soon...

There usually aren't bids on these until the last 30 minutes, unless you start low.

I don't expect to get much for it, and if it doesn't sell I will probably just keep it. Itsn't worth all the hassle. :cool:

[jdhdiggs]

Demi,

If it doesn't sell, you could just send it to me for theTaiwan connection... ;)

[PolkThug]

Make 'em run for it!
