Should I buy a PS3?

[Woozie]

Please provide proof or justification of your answer.

[Blarg]

find a store that has a long return policy, 'buy' the ps3 and spam all the games you want, return the ps3 before the time runs out

[zoobernut]

You should buy a ps3, give it to a girl you like, and then when she fucks other guys demand that she gives it back.

Yep I think that is what you should do.

[Woozie]

I'm assuming I missed a thread in General.

[Woozie]

Either that or you're really telling me I should do that. And you've never given me bad advice before, so maybe I should.

[Woozie]

Oops, my bad. And I was around in January, so I have no excuse for not seeing that. Did you end up buying one?

[Woozie]

Who changed my second poll option to "yes"? Yes is not a valid answer to this question.

[Woozie]

It must have been Qal. Give me a good reason why I should buy one, Qal. I wont get around to reading Number's thread for at least a few hours.

Uncharted
Ratchet and Clank
InFamous
MAG
Killzone 2
Resistance
MGS4
White Knight Chronicles
God of War III
Last Guardian
to name a few

also free online play and a decent list of PSN games and PS1 Classics

also as far as blu ray players, I've heard the ps3 blu ray player is very very good as far as blu ray players go, beats out many standalone players

yeah, upgradable blu-ray player, with media streaming capabilities which not many blu ray players have. Plus it's getting the update to allow 3D blu ray movies and games some time this year.

demon's souls

Valkyria Chronicles is top tier.

Directions: Install it, use your ps3 on the same network, enjoy.

This is great if your TV and PC are far away from each other.
(one catch, you probably can't play high quality encodes without a faster pc)

Er, I think you already know, but just to make sure... ps3 media server runs on your PC. You don't need to modify your Playstation 3 (any version) at all. Additionally, it streams media, so you don't even need a hard drive.

If DVD quality is fine, the wifi connection should suffice. I fortunately have ethernet connections all over the place. On the other hand, I'm currently capping ps3 media server to 80 mbit due to the 100 mbit actiontec fios router (until I get another gigabit switch). This is mainly for high-quality 1080p content (think 5.5 gigabytes per hour).

Also, in case anyone's wondering, ps3 media server supports subtitles.

From everything I keep hearing the PS3 is actually the best bluray player out there.

It's pretty much better and more future proof than anything cheaper than the PS3.

so youre saying no

[Woozie]

I would say because it can make PS2 games look prettier, but I found out a few days ago my backwards-compatible PS3 is apparently not the norm.

I know nothing about PS3s. How would I go about getting one that is backwards compatible with PS2 games? I still have a lot of PS2 games collecting dust (along with the actual PS2. I don't know why I even want to buy a console when I don't have much time to play).

MGS4, GoW3. Rather waste money on drugs/bitches tbh.

Yup I dont regret it at all either. I've gone through like 8 games or something in 6 months, so I'm not exactly playing hardcore or anything but I am using it. I also use it a ton as a media server, so if you can get that up and running I would definitely suggest you doing that too.

ps3 has good game

[mootsfox]

PS3 has been the best Blu-Ray player since release of the format.

But no one buys media discs anymore.

[Qalbert]

except all the people who do

[mootsfox]

Fuck those people.

[Blarg]

but if you don't count those guys then no one buys media discs anymore

[Qalbert]

it's like saying if you don't count the nonfurries everyone is a faggot
