This is not a thread to share your console bashing opinions in.

What reasons can you think of to buy a PS3? I am currently contemplating on picking one up later in the future, so think up some good ones.

Here are some of mine:

1) Motorstorm
2) Resistance: Fall of Man
3) If Square remakes FFVII, that'd be instant WIN.
4) FFXIII

That's all I can remember for now.

To post videos of me smashing it with a hammer?

Sorry, I couldn't resist.

Well, only reason I could think of would be playing all those PS2 games I never played before.

MGS4.

That's pretty much it for me. It was made pretty clear in a recent interview with Kojima MGS4 will probably not appear on the 360 (debunking the rumors).

STILL, I wouldn't be surprised if it happens.

5. You hate the Wii control and Microsoft
6. You absolutely need a blue ray drive for some obscure reason
7. it increase your E-penis
8. if the low sale cause sony to quit the videogame market, you will own something that played an important role in videogame history
9. you want to build a supercomputer

that the only reason I could find to buy a PS3

3) If Square remakes FFVII, that'd be instant WIN.
4) FFVIII


Aren't square announced there may be a version of the lastest FF game on the Xbox360. After such claim, I doubt square will support the PS3 as much as they supported the PS1 and PS2

Well, all we can do is wait and see. However, It does seem likely that Squeenix will support Microsoft as well as Sony. MGS4 is a definite reason to buy as well.

You also managed to quote my post before I had the chance to fix my Roman Numerals in FFXIII...

10. A maniac has a gun to your head and will kill you if you don't buy a PS3.

Sony's new marketing campaign.

4) FFXIII


1) Could live without it..
2) Meh..
3) Hahaha.. cause we need more remakes and rehashes of the FF series..
4) Last I heard it isn't even final that it'll be an exclusive..

XIII and MGS4 are about the only noteworthy games I have heard of for the PS3, and neither of them are out yet and probably won't be awhile.. I can't really see any good reason to spent $600+ on a console that only has two games I want, neither of which are even released yet..

Oh, and I'm not bashing.. I've got nothing against the PS3 itself, I just don't see any good reason at all to buy one right now, and I'm not seeing much on the horizon that'll change my opinion either..

Since all of the "exclusives" are jumping ship, I fully expect FF13 and MGS4 (and a possible FF7 remake) to do the same.

That leaves the only interesting PS3 exclusive as... Gundam Musou.

Let's hope that jumps ship as well.

Number one is to be able to play the dozens upon dozens of must-have PS2 games once the supply of those systems dries up. Anyone else recall that Xbox production ended a year before its final game, and like 6 or so for the Dreamcast in Japan? Exactly.

If, hypothetically, I were to win a PS3 in one of the many contests that just can't seem to get rid of them fast enough, I would 'upgrade' the firmware to support modern video formats and use it as a media center.

I have over 300 GB of digital videos, and a 42-inch plasma TV that I can't watch them on.

But, I wouldn't pay for a PS3 just for that, not when I could just get a video card with S-Video output for much, much cheaper.

I wouldn't have any other use for a PS3, though.

MGS4 and FF13 are the only reasons why I would get a Ps3. If they convert over, well, then, why bother.

I do hate when people ask me which one is better. You have to remember, this time last year, the XB360 didn't have a lot of games out either, mostly ports and sports games, so give the Ps3 a chance to get a nice library under their belt, then we'll talk.

Eh, right now, there's really only one reason for buying the thing, and that is if you want a Bluray player (not just a HD-player, Bluray specifically), and you want it now.

Other than that, it really doesn't have much to offer. Sure, Resistance and Motostorm are fun, but they're only two games, and we're talking about a 1000$ console here. Plus, Gears of War and Excitetruck are better games anyway.

Resistance is crap compared to GoW, I've heard. It's just plain boring, apparently.

After getting the HD DVD and paying for Xbox live and all that other stuff, the PS3 is only marginally more expensive. Therefore I would rather play PS3 versions of games that are offered on both.
Like:
-Army of Two
-Devil May Cry 4
-GTA IV
-Assassin's Creed

As for exclusives, the following look cool to me;
-Ratchet and Clank
-MGS 4
-FF 13
-Warhawk
-Virtua Fighter 5
-Killzone 2
-Heavenly Sword
-Ninja Gaiden Sigma
-White Knight Story

That's all I can currently think of. I can honestly wait. I mean I am planning on getting an hdtv first and possibly a ps3 within this year(fall?).

FYI Virtua Fighter 5 is no longer a Ps3 exclusive. Its set to come out in the fall on the XB360.

Yep.

Also, God of War 3 will be grand I'm sure.

Still, I don't think I'll buy a PS3 for another ... few years.

Plus the red ring of death is still an issue that hasn't been fully fixed and you don't have any stupid point system with the online service. You just pick the amount of money you want to spend. It's not restricted to any intervals.

MGS4.

That for sure. FFXIII might be a possible reason...

Buying one *now*? There's no reason to buy one now. There's really nothing out that screams "must-buy" and there's not too many games either.

Give it some time. Maybe by Christmas there'll be a little price drop and a few exclusives worth playing.
