The PS3 Is Here. - Page 21

Yeah the PS3 is definitely not worth buying. If you want that kind of gaming, then your best bet is Xbox360. Much cheaper, comparable graphics (some would even say better in some instances), and a much larger game library at present. The only thing I can honestly say that PS3 has over Xbox360 is that PS3 has the dualshock, probably the best controller design ever. That said, I'm sure an Xbox360 controller isn't too difficult to get used to, because unless I'm mistaken it pretty much has the same setup for buttons as the dualshock.

Interesting that you say that, seeing as all the dualshock is is a modified Super NES controller. Heck, the original Playstation controller was only the Super NES controller with two extra shoulder buttons.

True, but compare the dualshock to the retro-styled Wii Classic Controller. A good, solid controller, but I'd still take a dualshock over it any day.

An interesting note regarding PS3 and dualshock: The PS3 dualshock is actually modified. The R2 functions more like a trigger than a button. I haven't had much opportunity to try with it though, but it is an interesting concept and I would love to have a controller like that for my PS2.

I don't know if anyone else thinks this as well, but I find that the 360 controlller has better grip than the PS3 controller. I agree with Afrobean about the 360 controller being better on all fronts than the PS3's except for the dualshock.

Here's the thing about the Wii, you have to play it first before jumping to conclusions. I didn't care much for the Wii until I actually played it. And now the Wii is going to be the next "next-gen" console I am going to buy.

The factor that I think is severely hurt PS3 sales is the price, and having a weak set of games isn't helping either.

Coming into this console war, I was pro-PS3, and anti-Nintendo, now it the complete opposite (while I wouldn't say I am anti-PS3, as I would purchase a PS3 before I bought an X-box 360, that is given the X-box 360 doesn't come out with a totally boss game that I have interest in in the mean time.)

Mmm its a shame Banjo Kazooie isn't with Nintendo anymore, it was one of my favorite games, but sadly I have no 360 to play it on.

Stupid Microsoft and their rich selves.

Funny that Sony also released Betamax, eh?

The only reason I'd want a Wii is for the new Super Smash Bros. game. Otherwise, I would rather have a PS3 as I'm looking forward to a lot of upcoming games (Indiana Jones 2007 and Shadow of the Colossus 2).

Same for me. Only reason I am getting a Wii is for SSBB. Other than that, it's a meh system.

Chromer, you're rich, aren't you?

If you are referring to that one X-mas where I got a crapload of stuff then no I'm not rich, just upper middle-class. However, I have to work for my own things now and finding a Wii is a labor of love.

Afrobean · 03-9-2007, 10:41 PM

It just seems to me that the only people supporting PS3 are people who are rich or spoiled by their parents (who are probably also rich).

"Upper middle class". I'd say you're just being modest.

**Chromer** · 03-9-2007, 10:45 PM

Afro as much as I would love to say I'm rich, I'm not. Just because I support PS3 doesn't neccesarily mean I am a millionaire. =P

cC@Zz · 03-9-2007, 11:26 PM

I'm planning on getting a PS3 later in its life when all the good games are out and the price has dropped. As for now I'm sticking with my 360 and Wii. I'm not going tospend all my money on a system that currently doesn't have any games I like.

Well I guess I'm the exception. I'm lower middle class and my parents are cheap. They won't pay anything for me so I had to save up my own money for about three months. Plus I'm paying for my own cell phone and car and I'm only 17.

Haha, okay, whoever said that is a ******.
