Why I’m going to buy a PS3.
First off just so no one points it out to me. I am a ps3 fanboy, but that is just because developers chose to make all the games I like for the Playstation consoles. If the games I like were on the Xbox I would buy it. Anyways here is a list of reasons why I am going to buy a ps3.

The ps3 is a really great deal when you think of what you are getting. Regardless of whether or not you like a blue-ray player you’re still getting one of the cheapest next-gen movie players on the market. It going to cost $650.00 CAD for me, and the Xbox 360 is $450.00 CAD. Even if I do get the HD-DVD add-on from Microsoft I don’t think they are going to be selling it at too much of a loss so my guess is it is going to cost $199.00 USD, or about $239.00 CAD In the end that’s pretty much the same price as the PS3 if not even a little more.

I think that the ps3 should come with a headset like the Xbox has, but It’s not a major loss. It would help increase the usage of the online service I think though. The ps3 controllers don’t need batteries and I like the idea of just charging them with usb. The ps3 has a pretty cool user interface and web browser, and I think it is a nice touch. Their online play is going to be free, or pretty close to free, and I will enjoy the savings there. Anyway you look at it you are going to get a good deal if you buy a ps3.

Technology wise the ps3 is packed full! It has a next-gen movie player, blue-tooth, a little small, but an ok hard drive, wireless lilt controllers, (which I think sucks compared to the good old Dual Shock.) Pretty seamless integration between your media, I.E. photos, movies, music and web browser, and the cell processor that is arguably comparable to 3 3.0 ghz intel cpu’s. Yes I think you have to agree that there is a lot of high end tech in the ps3.

When you talk about the quality of games that are coming out for the ps3 vs. the xbox, It’s really a personal issue. I like the Japanese style of game over the North American football of shooter. Halo is a great game and I’m sure the other games coming out in the next year for the xbox will be great also. However, in my mind they do not compare to FF, MGS, and GT or even the game that Nintendo makes. When you face the facts the Xbox 360 at this moment has great games but nothing yet that is better then the ps3 or even the Wii.

What I don’t like about the ps3 is the cost, it’s very expensive. (But I also think that the xbox 360 s very expensive.) See with the Xbox I could use what was left from a pay check and skip the phone bill a few pizzas and there’s my new xbox 360. With the PS3 I’m actually going to have to save up for it and plan ahead to buy it. I think in the end it will be worth it though. In the last generation the PS2 lasted a little over six years, the same with the PS1 before it. The Xbox lasted 4 years before the 360 came out, and Microsoft has all together abandoned it. Sony is going to lose 2 billion on the PS3 in the next little while. I don’t think they are going to be already working on the ps4, and if what Sony say’s is true and the PS3 last ten years there is going to be strong support for my investment. I could see people buying a new Xbox 720 for four to five hundred dollars in 5 years. Giving the ps3 the largest game library in 5 years or so, currently more PS2 games will sell this year than Xbox, Xbox 360, PS3 and GameCube games combined. This all leads me to believe that I will have a better chance of great games and the PS3 sticking around for the long haul.

As far as everyone saying that Sony is being arrogant, well…they are being arrogant. I think they should stop that. Any ways those are some of the reasons I’m going to buy a PS3 It’s just my opinion you can take it or leave it. In the end it doesn’t really mater. If Sony Goes under I will still get to play my great game on a different console, but for now they’re all on the ps3.
