how good is the ps3?

[sancho]

me and my brother are probably getting a ps3 but i have read comments that it beats xbox and wii but on the other hand ive heard differently so plz answer.

ive played them all, i owned a PS3 for about a month, then sold it to a friend. for the money i think PS3 is way too much!!! its not that good. and the lack of good games too. i would wait to get the PS3 until next year when better games are out. but thats just what i would do.

Id recommend the xbox 360. way cool online features. Ive Had experience. Ive bought a PS3 and after beating a game i just wasn't that pleased with it so i returned. the controller has no rumble. And it feels way cheap. and the systems huge! Plus no disc tray means a stuck disc. (it happened to me) Ive also had a wii again i sold it. the only good game on it is zelda. i beat it. graphics are meh.... last gen and the wii mote is just weak! sometimes it doesnt react that fast and its a pain to aim with it!

The PS3 can pretty much do everything. It's backwards compatibly with PS1 and PS2 games. It's got the ability to play PS3 games from any region (so if a country gets a PS3 game before you, import it). It's like a PSP in many ways, so it can play music, videos (not just DVD and Blu-Ray, but movies you can covert on your PC). Depending on the PS3, It's got wifi to wirelessly connect to the internet (if you or someone around you has wireless) and it's got the ability to run Linux, so you can install a fully working OS and use it as a PC. Even if you don't use Linux, it's still got it's own web browser. While it does have some drawbacks (like limited backwards compatibility depending on the version and it's high price), it's a great console and Sony are going out of their way to bring out new firmware updates that give you new features.Unlike the XBox 360, the PS3 actually uses large capacity discs (25gb to 50gb) so it has the ability to have games in higher definitions, better quality and more material to make for longer games. It even upscales PS2 games (depending on the PS3 version) to hi-def.

In one word, Awesome. Graphically, it has it's gems , but the 360 has games that raise the bar more consistently.But that would be the case for the PS3 if it drop-ed a year sooner like the xbox did. The PS3 is really coming into it's AWWWW!!!! stage right now, the next two years of releases will really blow Sony's competition away. Besides with all the gadgets and internal memory the system has, you really can't go wrong.

VERY GOOD!

Blu-ray features and all that really dont count. its ALL about the games, and so far Sonys been behind the 8-ball on this. granted there are some games in the future that are looking good, Metal Gear Solid 4 and Little Big planet should be Key players.

I think the PS3 is the best system out of any the three game systems because ofA) Free online, which is also improving quite a bitB) Is somewhat cheaper than the Xbox 360PS3: -----------Xbox 360:60gb PS3-$500 -----------Xbox 360 Elite (120gb)- $450HDMI slot-Free---------HDMI slot- Only with EliteWifi-Free ----------Wifi- $99Rechargeable Controllers-Free --------Recharge Kit- $20Online-Free -----------Online- $50 a yearBlu-Ray Player-Free---------------HDDV... Player- $179Total: $500 ----------------Total: $798 You might not use these accessories, so that’s why I say the PS3 is “somewhat cheaper”Also why I said you have to get an Elite to compare it to the PS3 is because the elite is the only 360 console that has HDMI, which basically means it’s the only package that can get you true High-Def.C) Has great exclusives coming out and all of these are different variety:Heavenly Sword, Lair, Eight Days, Warhawk, Metal Gear Solid 4, Metal Gear Online, Killzone 2, Grand Turismo 5, Little Big Planet, Getaway 3, Driver 5, God of War III, Final Fantasy XIII, Final Fantasy Versus XIII, Jax and Daxter: Lost Frontier, Motorstorm, Ninja Gaiden Sigma, Ratchet and Clank Future: Tools of Destruction, Resistance: Fall of Man, SOCOM: Confrontation, Tekken 6, Uncharted: Drake’s Fortune, and White Knight Story. That’s all the games I can think of over 5 minutes.Ok, now onto the boring stuff…D) The PS3 is superior due to cell technology. This allows the PS3 to produce complex graphics far superior to any other console. The PS3 has a little over 2tfps and the Xbox 360 has 1. This basically means how well the system can do generating backgrounds like rain, clouds, etc. It also has to do with the amount of realism in graphical explosions and destruction scenes. The down side is however that it will be a while until game producers can max its potential because the cell processor is somewhat new in technology. That’s why games on the Xbox 360 look somewhat better right now. However, in about a year or two the PS3 will have better graphics. This is somewhat good too because then Sony wont have to make another console as soon because the PS3 has room to grow with technology, but then again nobody knows what technology can do in 5 years. E) PS3 will probably be the better quality as in life span. Many Xbox 360s are already having hardware problems (25%-33% Xbox 360 have 3 red rings of death) when there has only been a reported 1% failure chance with the PS3. PS3 also has an emergency shut down feature, so if you PS3 overheats it will automatically shutdown until it is out of a dangerous temperature.F) The PS3 has Blu-Ray. Blu-ray is a new type of video disc that allows movies and games to be more Hi-Def. The Blu-ray disc can hold up to 50gb allowing game developers to develop a longer game, better graphics, etc. The Xbox 360 only uses its game on classic DVD discs, which can only hold around 8 or 10gb depending on what type of DVD. Basically this means Xbox 360 games will have to be put on 2 discs in the future (for really big games)Xbox 360 is not a bad system and has great games, but the extra 100 bucks are worth buying the PS3.
