Playstation 3 worth getting if you already have Xbox 360?

Question

I already have an Xbox 360, with Halo 3, Forza, GTA 4 on hold, etc. I'm wondering if the PS3 is worth buying - at this point - and why. Are there any great games or benefits that make it worth the money if I already have a 360?

Answer 1

No, NO NO!NO!!NO!!!!!!! Give some money to charity or something for fukks sake.

Answer 2

Yes, there are several games for the PS3 that are great games. And once the PS3's major big exclusives come out next year, the Xbox 360 will be overshadowed by the PS3, and a few of the games that will do that are:

Killzone 2
God of War 3
Metal Gear Solid 4
Metal Gear Online
Socom Confrontation
Final Fantasy XIII
HAZE
Gran Turismo 5
Tekken 6
The Getaway 3

Plus the PS3 has better and more advanced technology, it has more built in features than the Xbox 360, and it's surely a whole lot more reliable than the Xbox 360, so yes the PS3 is worth buying.

And many Xbox 360 owners think that the PS3's only best game for 2008 is Metal Gear Solid 4, and that is so wrong. The PS3 will have a couple of awesome exclusives out before Metal Gear Solid 4 comes out.

But I have to warn you though, if you pick up a PS3, next year, your Xbox 360 will be collecting a lot of dust!!

Answer 3

ok um exclusives for ps3
1. God Of War Series, Im Pretty sure theyre makin Gow 3
2. Socom i love socom new one comes out next year
3. MGS4
4.Unreal Tournament 3
theres more but those are my favs plus blu-ray is winning the battle between HD Dvd so far and u get wireless internet blutooth compatible and jus much more reliable and im not a ps3 fanboy i like 360s too but im jus sayin ps3 is a much better system and btw if u want rockband its all wireless on the ps3 but the 360 version is wired

Answer 4

Well PS3 has a lot of great exclusives like Resistance, Ninja Gaiden Sigma, Motorstorm, Ratchet and Clank, Heavenly Sword, and Uncharted. And Killzone 2, Haze, MGS4, Final Fantasy XIII, Gran Turismo 5, Afrika, Little Big Planet, Tekken 6 and God of War 3 will be coming out as PS3 exclusives. Also the maker of Ico and Shadow of the Colossus is making his next game exclusively on PS3. The makers of Fahrenheit are also making their next game a PS3 exclusive. If you get the PS3 you can get GTA IV on the one disc instead of the multiple discs it will probably be on for the 360.

Also the PS3 has a blu-ray player as well as other multimedia features such as internet browsing. I suppose it depends if you want a PS3 for it's games and blu-ray player but I think it's worth it and there are quite a few people who have both.

Answer 8

This is my cut and paste answer. The reason for that is because a tech info is a tech info, you can't beat it (sources below).

PS3 will win the console war, no doubt. Xbox 360 and Wii are so weak from technological point of view, that in couple of years they won't be capable of dealing with serious graphics. GTA IV, for instance, isn't even announced for Wii - this toy won't be able to cope with the game's requirements. Xbox 360 is getting GTA IV, however, the game is going to be released on several DVDs - Xbox 360 owners will have to interrupt gaming process and switch discs (Rockstar complained about this issue). Only PS3 will have it on single BD-DVD.

Let's compare PS3 and XBOX 360:

1). A third of XBOX 360 (33%) are malfunctioning right from the start. PS3 return rate is only around 0.2%. Despite some people say, that new 360 has no breakdown issues - just visit Xbox section of Yahoo answers and see for yourself an amount of complaints.
2). PS3 has 8 (7+1) kernels in Cell processor, Xbox 360 -only 3.
3). PS3 uses advanced tech called Blu-Ray, one disc can store up to 54 gb (in the future - up to 200 gb), Xbox 360 - regular dual layer DVD-9 (8.5GB). It's possible to get HD-DVD (max. - 30GB) for 360, but it'll cost you around 180$, in this case Xbox is going to be MUCH more expensive, than PS3.
4). Calculations per sec - PS3 - 51-billion-dot-product-operati... per second
Xbox 360 - 33.6-billion-dot-product-opera... per second
5). PS3 has full media support - USBs, built-in 4 slots card reader (except 20GB and 40GB versions), ability to use printer and so on.
Xbox 360 has USBs and only 2 memory slots.
6). PS3 supports up to 7 Bluetooth Controllers
Xbox 360 - up to 4 Controllers
7). PS3 - wi-fi included (except 20 gb version)
Xbox 360 - wi-fi will cost you around 100 $
8). Graphics are stronger in PS3, due to RSX chip, that was developed by Nvidia exclusively for PS3. RSX runs on 550 Mhz. It's difficult to compare their graphics chips, because 360 has a video chip with totally different structure and operating memory is divided differently in both consoles. However, PS3 exclusives look better than 360's exclusives.
9). PS3 uses technology from AGEIA company. It does to physics of the game same thing GPU (videocard processor) does to graphics. This thing is on sale for PC(special card). The price is around 350$. There is no such thing in 360.
10). Xbox 360 is widely known for so-called "red ring of death" problem - it gets overheated easily. My PS3 was running for more than 15 hours non-stop with no problems. Sometimes Xbox 360 becomes so overheated, that thermopaste on CPU melts, drips on motherboard and successfully shortcircuits it. That's why in some countries people call Xbox 360 "Coffin 360".
11). Besides all of this, I've seen disassembled Xbox 360 - regular PC architecture - Billy Gates is an uninventive nerd (as usual).
When I saw disassembled PS3 - it was a surprise - smart architecture, good cooling (don't buy external PS3 coolers - they make everything worse - original system is good), etc.
12). In 2008 PS3 will get more than 300 games, including Metal Gear Solid 4, The Agent and other great exclusives. Here is the good link to the future PS3 releases. http://ps3.ign.com/index/release.html......
13). PS3 online is free, Xbox 360 - you have to pay.
14). There were reports, that 360 scratches discs. No reports on that in PS3.
15). The funniest thing, that right now there are no games for PS3, that show full potential of the console. Biggest games weigh only 25 GB (Xbox 360 will need more than 3 discs even for those).
16). On PS3 you can install other OS, such as Linux Yellow Dog, Ubuntu and others. Sony officially lets you do it. There is no such thing in 360.
17). PS3 HDD can be replaced easily with any 2.5" SATA 5400 RPM HDD (used in laptops). 250 GB will cost you around 170$. In 360 you have to buy exclusive HDD, where 20GB will cost you 100$.
18).Sony expects PS3 to stay on the market for, at least, 7-10 years. Also Sony reduces price now. There is a cheaper 40GB version of PS3.
19).Sony constantly upgrades PS3 software (free updates for OS) - you get new functions and improvements.
20). PS3 controller (sixaxis) has a motion control - you move controller - game responds. Wii has it, Xbox 360 - doesn't. PS3 is getting rumble controller (Dualshock 3) in 1st quarter 2008, Japan already has it. On www.ebay.com I saw those controllers on sale 50$ and up (unofficial import)
21).On PS3 you can help sick people by running Folding Home project. Wii and Xbox 360 didn't even think about it.
22).New 40GB is 399$ or 399 euro (depends on the region) - it has no backwards compatibility with PS2 games, has 2 USBs instead of 4, no built-in card reader, but it's the same PS3, strong, reliable, less noisy, different cooling system. The price is friendly.

I didn't mention Wii, because it's so weak, no point to talk about it. Leave it for kindergarten and casual games.
