So if you don't already own a PS3, or plan on buying a new system this holiday season, sit back and check it out. If you do happen to own a PS3 already, check it out anyway and see if you agree.

thanks ps3center.net

ps3 is a good console

Shotgun_Roamer5279d ago

i almost feel bad for bungie.... almost.

Saaking5279d ago

I've got one reason:

It only does everything!

HolyOrangeCows5279d ago

I suppose PS3 sites should be making lists about the 360 and 360 sites about the PS3?

GTFO.

.
Mine (In no particular order):
1) Great lineup
2) Wide Games Variety
3) Free Developed and evolving Online Network
4) Uncharted 2
5) Ratchet & Clank: aCiT
6) Blu-ray
7) Free Online Gameplay
8) Demon's Souls
9) Killzone 2
10) Uncharted 2

Notice how games are a lot of the reasons. That's because Sony hasn't forgotten that people buy game systems for games...unlike Microsoft and Nintendo.

And yes, Uncharted 2 is listed twice :)

bjornbear5279d ago

I only need one reason.

Its the same reason that keeps multi-console or PS3 only owners playing it, and the same reason that keeps 360 only owners writing hilariously futile comments ( like yours ) all over the interwebz

Reason: ITS AWZUM!!!! =3

PS3 is an amazing console, and so is the xbox 360

it's great to be a multi console owner :P

but then my wallet well say otherwise when Mass effect 2, GT5, Splinter Cell Conviction, and God of War 3 come out, :0

gaffyh5279d ago

Good list but I would also add community, because although XBL community talks during gaming, they also have a lot of racist smacktalk, which would piss anyone over the age of 18 off. PSN community doesn't talk, but at least you can play in peace and quiet!

Mista T5279d ago

I have a bluetooth headset for my PS3, but I really don't use it ALL the time, some times it just gets so heated in the battle like in Killzone 2, MAG, BFBC2, or MW2, I just say F it and don't use the headset at all to concentrate more on what's going on

deadreckoning6665279d ago (Edited 5279d ago )

@gaffyh- I've experienced racism on the PS3 as well. I picked a black character on Rainbox Six: Vegas and when I got a kill, the guy screamed out "EFFING N****R" If there is more racist smack talk on the 360, then it would probably be due to the fact that there are more people on XBL than PSN and every 360 comes with a mic. Therefore, the odds of hearing racism on XBL as opposed to PSN are high.

U also mention that the PSN community doesn't talk. I consider this a bad thing in team based games like Warhawk and the Bad Company 2 beta.

gaffyh5279d ago

@above - True, but I think it's more to do with the XBL userbase being younger than the PSN userbase. And although you get racism on PSN (which personally I have never encountered), it is no way as bad as what I've heard from XBL.

The only game where you really need team based work is MAG, and A LOT of people use headsets in that, because you NEED it. In every other game, it is more of a luxury rather than a real need.

Sarcasm5279d ago

To put things in perspective, the FIRST time I actually caved in and bought XBL and played Halo 3 online, all I heard was N****r F*G B***H etc. etc.

Wow... And to top it off, some idiot kid kept screaming "I KILLLLLLLLLLLL YOUUUUUUUUUUUU" in the highest pitched voice possible.

Granted, there are many idiots on PSN as well especially playing COD. But the ratio of XBL idiots to PSN idiots is probably 5 to 1.

Redempteur5279d ago (Edited 5279d ago )

There is talk on PSN ...we just don't talk with anyone ..

When i play a team based game i talk ... otherwise i just play... and it's better that way ..

YOU DON'T NEED to talk in every game

i talk when i play MAG ..i talk in battle field bad company 2 ...

BUt i don't talk in every killzone game , same with uncharted, same with blazblue , with burnout paradise ... In these cases i only talk when i play with friends

And sometimes ( soul calibur ,rock band , wipeout hd ) i don't talk AT ALL ... because i don't wanna .

I'm not the only one doing this ... Having a mic shouldn't force me to talk when i don't want to

Saaking5279d ago

the 360's low price and dominance in NA has led to it being overrun by teen brats who love to say crap. The PS3's high price point (until now) has prevented this repulsive individuals from getting a hold of it.

shawnsl655278d ago

i have to talk playing uc2 co op.. like.. i'll take this corner etc etc. while the team run around and get the treasures

Microsoft once tried to nab LittleBigPlanet from Sony after a few drinks

It turns out that many moons ago, Microsoft once had its eye on the Sony published LittleBigPlanet series.

Microsoft had a good idea but fumbled it again.

Cacabunga2d ago (Edited 2d ago )

Project Spark idea was decent but they quickly gave up ..
LBP was wonderful

ApocalypseShadow3d ago

Microsoft in a nutshell. Always tried to poach Sony employees, games, 3rd party games and devices like the depth camera that was turned into Kinect but was running on PS2 before Xbox 360. Wouldn't be surprised they wanted LBP. Just like they worked behind the scenes pushing the MLB to bring Sony's baseball game to Xbox instead of making their own.
https://www.playstationlife...

They didn't spend years trying to develop their own baseball game. They wanted Sony's game.

They're scum.

Zachmo1822d ago

Microsoft didn't force MLB on Xbox. MLB gave Sony 2 options either go multiplat or risk losing the license.

Rynxie2d ago

And why do you think MLB said that? I believe Ms approached MLB.

ApocalypseShadow2d ago (Edited 2d ago )

Totally ridiculous comment.

The only exclusivity Sony had was to their own creation of The Show. Microsoft could have paid the MLB for the license just like Sony did and made their own baseball game.

Microsoft instead, groomed MLB for years in trying to poach Sony's game and bring it to Xbox. They're worth 3 TRILLION dollars. You think that's not enough money to make their own baseball game? Don't be delusional.

Microsoft spun it like they always do and told the media that they had to trust Sony with their hardware. After they put Sony in that position of not having a choice. Either go multiplatform or stop making one of their successful games. That's a no win scenario.

And what did Microsoft do? They didn't try to sell the game to the Xbox community. They put it on game pass to hurt Sony. Pushing the idea of why buy games that are $70 when you can play them in their cheap service for $10. It was a dirty tactic.

You fell for the Kool aid drink Microsoft served you instead of spitting it out. Hope it tasted good because you were fooled by Phil and the gang.

Xbox executive Sara Bond has told Axios that Microsoft spent a number of years trying to get MLB The Show onto Xbox consoles. And when it finally succeeded in breaking off PlayStation’s long-held exclusivity, the company had to “trust” Sony with pre-release Xbox Series X/S consoles.

Bond revealed that MLB The Show “always came up” in conversations between Microsoft and the Major League Baseball organization. “We always said, ‘We love this game. It would be a huge opportunity to bring it to Xbox.'” she recalled. However, when Microsoft’s efforts materialized, it put the company in an awkward situation where it had to send in pre-release consoles to a rival company.

Lying to yourself is unbecoming.

Article link tells you all you need to know in Sarah Bond's own words.

Hereandthere1d 20h ago

They were too cheap/inept/lazy to develop their own mlb game, so they port begged for years and bribed the mlb to make the show multiplatform. Like i said many times, xbox brought nothing to the table their 24 years, ZERO.

ApocalypseShadow1d 6h ago

At least you and others get it. Note drank the Kool aid and asked for seconds thinking it was refreshing.

Most don't even know how it all played out but it's there in black and white for all to see. Microsoft brought it up for years until the MLB forced Sony's hand. It was a win win for Microsoft. Kill one reason to buy a PlayStation or kill the game by dropping it in a cheap service to kill Sony's sales numbers on PlayStation.

OtterX2d ago

"However, Healey said Media Molecule wouldn't have felt right doing that, adding it would have been "morally corrupt"."

Major kudos to Media Molecule for being an upright studio with principles.

Cockney1d 1h ago

They chose well, Sony gave them the backing to pursue their dreams with no restrictions even tho their games especially dreams have very niche appeal. Media molecule and Sony deserve respect for this in an age of risk averse publishing.

RNTody2d ago (Edited 2d ago )

Great, more stories like this please. Show the last of the zombies holding the line what we've been saying for years: Microsoft is anti competition, anti industry and has no interest in making games at all.

But hey, at least there's an Xbox Games Showcase to look forward to, right?

Inverno2d ago

Well considering SONY just killed the series, LBP would've been dead by now either way. Though MM probably wouldn't exist by now either, so I'm glad they stayed with SONY, hopefully they don't get shut down any time soon or ever honestly.

Inverno2d ago

They shut down the servers, that's millions of user created levels gone. That and dead are pretty much the same, it's also been years since 3 and they cancelled HUB soooo.

fsfsxii2d ago

They shutdown the servers because no one was playing, no one in the community cared about the user created levels so why keep them up? Wtf you guys would never succeed in running a business.

Inverno2d ago

Yea dood no one was playing so they shut off the servers. Cause people with enough common sense can't just Google why they were actually shut of, right?
