Swindle... not every game needs to have macho shows of bravado, you know. Sometimes games can be more than seeing how many people you can surgically remove from their lower halves.

Sure, Castle Crashers is great. While I haven't played Shadow Complex, it looks good too.
However, Flower really is a masterpiece of a game.

Flower is intense. Completely avoided my expectations, gave me something very intense yet relaxing.

Its like collecting things sorta.

I'll admit the price drop finally got me onboard.

Though it's also got more to do with wanting a blu ray player than actually wanting a PS3 for gaming.

Well, at least you get the chance to pick up Flower and Uncharted. Definitely among the best console games this generation.

If you aren't interested in any of the games on the PS3, maybe you aren't a gamer. Flower and Uncharted have been mentioned, but Ratchet & Clank and the Pixeljunk games are a lot of fun too.

Ohnoes, I might not be an ambiguously defined term people use to measure epeen!

And yeah, selling a PS3 slim for a grand would be a dick move, but it'd be a $700 profit dick move. And an extra $700 buys a lot of games and accessories come 2010 once everyone finishes getting their 2009 games out!

I have nothing against the PS3, there just haven't been any exclusives that terribly interest me personally. Not saying they're bad games, just nothing I personally felt the need to get the system for.

360 had the games I wanted to play, no more, no less. PS3 has the blu ray player I want with the potential to play games I wouldn't mind playing but was never "OH GOD I MUST HAVE THAT!" about playing. Now that it's cheaper, I'll jump in on it.

I came home the other day to a new PS3. Apparently, my mom walked to Best Buy, was talked into buying it, then came back here.

It's all good though because she got me LittleBigPlanet and, well, she bought me something.

Read my comments on the PS3. I'm not a fan at all. This is my second one and I have all of 2 games that I want to play that are not on the 360.

I was feeling left out because my friends had Blu-ray players and I didn't. Hard to barrow a movie when it's in blu-ray and you have the Walmart special DVD player. :/

@CtrlBurn I take offense at your remark, I don't have any interest in any $ony exclusives and I AM A GAMER, with over 3000 games in my collection over a dozen consoles (spanning nearly 30 of consoles), so saying some isn't a gamer cause they don't like the shit $ony peddles is offensive.

Gamer4Life 3000 games on what consoles ?.

You are a retard do you know why your being classified as a retard ?

Why is it $ony and not Sony ?

Are you just a flaming big in the closet Microsoft fanboy/shill ? I think you are, you need to step out the closet and admit just how much you love sucking on the micro soft epeen..

Thats cool, then Uncharted 2 will get the sales that it deserves

Also Sony, I know this is hard for you to do but freaking market the shit out of the Slim, and dont come up with a weird commercial this isnt the time for that

You are getting the same machine either way, so pick the one that you like aesthetically. I have a "phat" and love it. You won't go wrong with it.

I agree, the phat looks like a premium electronics device. The slim looks like something made by Tiger.

Lies. There is no way a price drop causes an increase in sales. These guys are nuts! People only buy more if the price goes up.

Now, please excuse me while I sniff some more glue.

I can use that extra $99 to get myself a better video cable. You'd think they would pack a composite/component cable like the 360, but it's still that RV cable.

At least you can still swap out your hard drive for a bigger one, and it can bitstream TrueHD sound, as well.

Count your blessings.

Monoprice is your friend. I picked up an HDMI cable for $7 shipped last year when I bought my PS3.

Not that it excuses Sony's $60 cable nonsense.

It's always a good idea to play sequels/prequels...

If all else fails, there is a free download of the Metal Gear Solid database on the PSN that you can read through, it's got graphics and pictures of all the characters.

My personal favorite MGS game is Snake Eater; I would suggest playing that one!

@ Raffi

You will understand the character relations a bit better if you play the previous games. However even if you don't you can download the free Metal Gear Solid Database from PSN that covers the entire saga filling you in everything you should know.

I gave up on my HTPC when i got my ps3. So much better to use with the right media server software and the ps3 remote.
