ps3 worth it for a few exclusives?

I use to own a PS3 and beat GoW3, Uncharted, Ratchet and Clank ToD, Heavenly Sword and MGS4 and enjoyed them all. However I haven't played anything new since GoW3. Curious if its worth picking up another for anything new? Not into GT5 which I think is the newest exclusive. I currently own a Xbox 360 and most games are cross platform.
 
Well, 2011 will have

  1. Killzone 3
  2. Socom 4
  3. inFamous 2
  4. Uncharted 3
  5. DC Universe Online
  6. The Last Guardian
  7. LittleBigPlanet 2
  8. Motorstorm: Apocalypse
  9. Ratchet & Clank: All 4 One
  10. Playstation Move Heroes (formerly Heroes on the Move)
  11. Resistance 3
  12. Twisted Metal
  13. Yakuza 4
and I'm sure there will be more and there may be a couple that slip to 2012. But, that's a good starter list.
 
Honestly no. You've already played most of their exclusives. Since Gow3 release there isn't anything you're missing. the biggest title for now is Gt5.

You're better off waiting till next year or something. I'm sure you might see a price drop then.

The second half of 2010 was lacking in exclusives due to A) delays and B) focus on Move but 2011 quickly ramps up as I mentioned above with Killzone 3 in February. After that, there's a steady stream of exclusives through the year for the most part.

Personally, I'm calling for a price drop in April or May.
 
Unless you want to get it right now cus of the many promotions stores are having for a PS3, then I say wait as we all know better and or cheaper versions of all consoles will be out in 2011.
 
Demon's Souls is great. The best game this generation, IMO. Also Valkyria Chronicles is pretty good.

My PS3 is always getting played. My Wii gets played on occasion when a new co-op friendly game comes out for the SO and me. My 360 rarely gets played...🙁

But my PC gets played the most 😉

EDIT: Oh, but I forgot to say that a couple exclusives aren't worth picking up the ps3 for. I'd wait to buy another one.

Sony is also porting Ico and Shadow of the Colossus like they did for GoW 1-2 if you haven't played them yet.

Also, if you don't play online with the 360, Netflix streaming is free (with Netflix sub) on the PS3, no Live Gold required.
 
well I should have mentioned by decision will be based around if I can score one tonight. Wal-Mart is offering the $299 PS3 with $100 gift card. I'm always shopping at Wal-Mart so its like getting a brand new one for $199.

Wal-Mart.com shows they are sold out. However, the same deal just went up on Amazon.com. 160GB PS3 with $100 Credit.
 
At $199 it could be worth it just as a great DVD, blu-ray and Netflix player that also plays games.

For DVDs, I've found the image quality is better on my PS3 than on my 360 -- on the 360 I often notice a screen-door effect watching anime that I've never seen with the PS3.

To be fair, the PS3 is connected directly to the TV (Samsung 1080p DLP) while the 360 is connected through my Onkyo receiver, so it could be some interaction between the Onkyo and 360.

afaik its only b&m and doesn't start till 9pm tonight. However if its offered online it probably will show oos till they go on sale. I have no idea why they are waiting till 9pm unless they are expecting all the trucks today so they can restock.

That's funny b/c I was thinking the same. I am always on my 360 (with my friends) and never on the PS3. I, like you, bought it strictly for the exclusives. But, again, like you, I have no more exclusives to play so the PS3 is collecting dust. I was actually thinking about Craigslisting it before the system drops in value even more.
 
Just picked up the PS3 today for $200 ($300 but you get a amazon.com $100 gift card). for that price, it's totally worth it for its use as a blue ray player and net flix streamer i think.

no need to go to walmart, amazon has it right now.
 
As of right now... not really (IMO of course). I bought mine over the summer and after the initial feeling of OOOH NEW TOY wore of I stopped using it. Ratchet and Clank was great, GoW3 was fantastic, and I bought Move which was fun for a little while. Overall though there isn't much out right now I care to use, but hopefully that changes in 2011. Infamous 2 looks great so far, and the first was pretty good. Twisted Metal is one of my favorite series ever so I'm hoping that's good.
 
its worth it just for Uncharted 2 alone. seriously
i'd easily pay $260 plus tax for that experience. plus the other exclusives are awesome too...i even thought Lair was pretty fun, a very underated title imo

Those are all in the future. Why not wait until then to buy the PS3? If he can't get this Wal-mart deal, it might even be cheaper then.

His point was that there aren't many exclusives currently out to justify repurchasing a PS3.

You say he is wrong for saying "You're better off waiting till next year or something" but then use a list of 2011 games as evidence? Okay

Agreed, Im pretty much PC gamer only who bought the Uncharted 2 PS3 bundle and it was totally worth it, incredible game. Now just waiting for Uncharted 3 and Ratchet and Clank: All 4 One 🙂 Just finished a crack in time, was fun but not as good as ToD
 
I sat on the fence until the amazon deal expired. If it comes back I'll be tempted..

If I could have found a Holiday Bundle that includes Uncharted 2 at Walmart I most likely would have bit, but I didn't.

If I didn't have an xbox and a Wii already I would have gotten one for sure, my point being for most people I think it's a good deal for $200.

You think the PS3 will drop below $199 in the next six months?

No but better deals can come along. for instance 50 dollar price drop + 100 dollar gift card.

the point why buy now little it collect dust for titles that are not even out until next year.

of the titles Queasy listed only LPB2 and Killzone 3 are have put out release dates in within the next 6 month.

uncharted is due out around this time next year from the video they put out. The others I haven't looked into their respective dates.
