I still need some convincing though, I just looked some up on Amazon.com and I can get some great used ones for $190 USD. I need some PS3 experts to give me the pros and cons about owning a PS3. Thanks in advance.

I had one a while back imo the only pro is its free online but the xbox trumps it on community, content, and features, but personally i didn't like it mainly cause most my buddies are on xbox so i'm a bit biased. Sure some diehard ps3 can give more pro's |

There were just a couple of games I wanted to play on PS3. I've always wanted to get MGS and stuff. Also the new SOCOM game looks cool. |

It highly depends on matter of opinion. Me personally, I think it blows xbox away. The only real thing the xbox can one up on the ps3 is cross game chat, since ps3 most likely wont ever get it. As for exclusives theres a huge list. You just gotta google it. One that stands out is Metal Gear Solid 4 A few awesome ones are God Of War (No brainer) Uncharted (I currently obsess over uncharted 3) Killzone and many others out there that are just stunning to play on any high definition tv. Now if your interested in just getting it for multi-platform games or a second console I wouldnt suggest a ps3. People seem to prefer the 360 over ps3, I just personally dont. Both systems are great in my opinion. Myself, Kahn, Ratheron, all hang out on ps3 as we play minecraft sometimes

Sounds good, I totally forgot about Uncharted 3 and Killzone 3. I heard Killzone was pretty good, is there multiplayer on it. Plus PS3 would be awesome for me seeing as I'm probably not going to pay or XBL anymore seeing as I never play it anymore so the free internet would be a big plus for me. |

Killzone 3 and Uncharted 3 both have great online play. I have both games, though my addiction is uncharted 3

I agree with Wicked on the Matter. I like my Xbox but I like Ps3 cause its a good general gaming console with Exclusives and such. Plus with free internet access you don't pay as much. Which is good for cheap asses like myself. |

Well when I save up a little more I'll justify myself with a purchase of a sweet sweet Playstation 3 Lol Assuming I still want one when I save up enough. Edited by Re3st1mat3d, Apr 3 2012, 09:24 PM.

you left out the built in rechargeable battery,saves a ton of money of batteries, from what i see (i own an xbox) it kills batteries in like a day if you play it a long time,where as the ps3 battery can last 3 days before needing to charge then as said you have the free online which in itself is a huge + for me,top name exclusives,you don't have a big bulky box added to the plug (still don't understand why they have that also not sure if they still have it) it was on mine so i threw it in there lol and also (again from my experience) its not a system made by a company who likes to nickel and dime you from every little thing you wanna do. not trying to be a fanboy to PS3 its just my experience with both systems,both systems are great in there own way.

Well, I really didnt really think about all that. Im just so used to having everything recharge that I just couldnt imagine a console without a rechargeable accessory. Although, I do think the 360 now has rechargeable controllers. |

They do, and I have 3 recharge packs. I did have to go out and buy them. Also, another thing I like about PS3 controllers is that I can just go and take one and play it on my computer when I'm not on the PS3 which is another huge plus with some games on steam and stuff. |

Just read today that the PS3 is now supporting Amazon Video on Demand, which is awesome. Only other way to get it to your TV reliably is via a Roku or some other device, so this is a huge boon towards the PS3 (although I only use it these days for media as it is, doesn't change the role). |

Awesome, I also do like that they don't limit your video streaming to 720p like xbox now does, unless you're on Zune. |

Little big planet is pretty fun if your a casual gamer or you just want to hang out with your friends and go into create mode much like minecraft. Only Little Big Planet isn't much about crafting, but about exploring the worlds that people create. I own both Little Big Planets, though I prefer Little Big Planet 1 over the second by alot.
