PS3: Convince me.

[Szymon]

From a purely technological point of view, the PS3 destroys the xbox in hardware. Better graphics processing and a much lower failure rate are just a couple of the features. Combine this with the topic of price and you realize that you don't have to pay $100 for the wireless adapter, which is built-in to the PS3 and you don't need the extra $60 for PSN that you pay for XBL. Of course, this is all just a comparison to the xbox and not actually answering whether or not it's worth it to own both systems.

My advice is to buy a better computer. These days there are a lot of great computer games coming out for steam and Blizzard Activision is gearing up to release some pretty big titles next year like you mentioned. Look for good deals on NewEgg or NCIX.com too. TF2 is addicting as hell on the computer.

All of that is fine information if choosing between a Ps3 and a 360, but seeing how he already has a 360, its more if its worth getting a PS3 in addition, and unless you really enjoy those blu rays, I would go with no.

I wouldn't spend money on it unless you want a blu ray player - I look at the PS3 as a blu ray player first and a gaming console second.

I would save my money for a computer and Diablo III. If your this iffy on it you'll probably be happier just keeping your money for something you really want anyway.

When you compare it to a 360, yes, it's got a bit of a shortage of exclusives.

But I bought mine when my 360 broke, and my love for the PS3 grew every single day.

I really like the media capabilities, and the games I own, I don't think would make one bit of difference if I'd owned them on 360. I think it's even better for me, living in Turkey, because everybody has PS3s here, so playing online is much more fun.

And if I were you, I wouldn't even consider upgrading my PC. PC gaming, while I see your point, isn't worth the money you spend on it imo.

Well my desktop is about 8 years old, and my laptop is about 5 years old. Basically I need to get a new computer. I'll be building it myself and have been looking into it for a while now. Looking at cost and everything I'm only going to be spending about 450 dollars for a machine that will be able to run all of today's games and probably at least all of them 3 years or so down the road. It helps that I already have keyboard, mouse, hd monitor.

Oh god Alan wake is 360 exclusive. Somewhere in the back of my head I thought one day it was PS3 exclusive and I've been thinking that for like 2 years now. Geez.

Scratch that.

So basically I'm looking at getting a PS3 for only Last Guardian and Valkyria chronicles. Hmm...
