This holiday season, the console wars are at full throttle. Buy PS3 presents the Top 10 Reasons to Buy PS3

1. Cheap Blue Ray player - Buy PS3 this holiday season because it has something for everyone, games for the gamers, and a cheap Blue Ray player for everyone else.

2. Put that HD TV to use - PS3 supports 480i, 480p, 720p, 1080i, and 1080p, so that spiffy new HD TV that you have can now actually be used to its full potential.

3. Established gaming library - Buy PS3 so you can play all your old PS1 and PS2 games when you get bored of amazing graphics.

4. MotorStorm - I'd buy PS3 just because MotorStorm really does look quite good.

5. Cheap games - The games on the PS3 are cheaper than those on Wii and XBox 360, buy PS3 to keep your wallet in check.

6. Bluetooth - For once Sony uses an already established platform, buy PS3 because of the potential of other bluetooth devices hooking up to PS3.

7. Its Sony! - Sony knows there stuff, they have been at the top of the consumer electronics world that they are quite competent to deliver the goods. Buy PS3 because its a Sony.

8. PS3 hardware - The hardware on the PS3 is easily some of the most powerful hardware to ever come to console. Buy PS3 because you will be more future proof.

9. Wii is out of stock - This holiday season the Wii is out of stock, the best alternative? Buy PS3.

10. Awsome Games - Assassin's Creed, Folklore, Call to Duty 4, Tekken 5, Ninja Gaiden Sigma, Heavenly Sword, Elder Scrolls IV, Formula One, Championship, Virtua Fighter 5, Madden NFL 07, Tony Hawk's Project 8, Resistance: Fall of Man, I could go on... Buy PS3, 'nuff said.

1. It's spelled "Blu-Ray", not "Blue Ray".

2. Same resolutions supported by the Xbox 360.

3. 40 GB version is not backwards compatible. 80 GB version is only partially so. Not that it matters because there aren't any PS1 or 2 games worth playing anymore anyway.

4. Motorstorm looks good, plays like a turd on ice.

5. PS3 titles are the same price as the XBox 360 games, which is to say $10 MORE EXPENSIVE than the Wii. Not cheaper.

6. LOL, what other Bluetooth devices are worth hooking up to the PS3?

7. Sony stopped being a quality electronics name around 1978. They have more product recalls going right now than any other company. I wouldn't brag about it being Sony. Plus the 2.01 firmware is bricking systems now.

8. That's the only thing you've said that's remotely true.

9. Wii is out of stock - This holiday season the Wii is out of stock, the best alternative? Buy an Xbox 360.

10. Awsome Games -
Assassin's Creed - Better on Xbox 360
Folklore - Averaging around 75% in the reviews. Not exactly awesome.
Call to Duty 4 - OK, first it's "Call OF Duty" not "Call TO Duty" and it's also better on the Xbox 360.
Tekken 5 - Not a PS3 game.
Ninja Gaiden Sigma - Port of a very good original Xbox game which is playable on the 360.
Heavenly Sword - Average reviews, boring gameplay, more movie than game.
Elder Scrolls IV - Better on Xbox 360
Formula One, Championship - Another game scoring in the mid 70% ramge.
Virtua Fighter 5 - Xbox 360 version is better, includes online play
Madden NFL 07 - Runs at half the speed on the PS3. Xbox 360 version is 60 FPS.
Tony Hawk's Project 8 - Better on Xbox 360
Resistance: Fall of Man - This is the only PS3 exclusive that could be worth-while and it scores in the high 80% area.

Meanwhile on the Xbox 360 side you can play:
http://www.metacritic.com/games/xbox360/scores/
BioShock Average reviewer score 96%
The Orange Box 96%
Gears of War 94%
Halo 3 94%
Mass Effect 92%
Tom Clancy's Ghost Recon Advanced Warfighter 90%
Forza Motorsport 2 90%

All of which are exclusive to the 360 and cannot be played on the PS3.

Yeah...pretty much what Jordan said. Almost word-for-word what my response would be. Not a compelling list at all.

> 1. Cheap Blue Ray
IF BluRay becomes the standard, this is valid. Otherwise you have a nice BetaMax player. Plus BluRay and HD player prices are dropping like stones.
> 2. Put that HD TV to use
With an XBox360. Or your cable box. Or a HD DVD player.
> 3. Established gaming library
Or you can buy an XBox360 AND a PS2 for about the same price. Or I can use the PS2 I (and millions of other people) already have.
> 4. MotorStorm
XBox 360/Wii have just as many nice games (if not more). Plus you use this same point later.
> 5. Cheap games
Call of Duty 4: PS3=$60 X360=$60 PC=$50
Every new game I've looked into is -$10 on the different systems. There's no price gap worth mentioning, and the value of the games is debatable. It might cost more to port something to another system or switch graphics engines, input (Wii especially), etc.
> 6. Bluetooth - potential of other bluetooth devices
Like? Such as? I'm all excited to find out!
> 7. Its Sony!
Fanboy-ism. Nintendo has been in the entertainment biz for over 100 years. Microsoft helped found modern electronic entertainment, whatever its other faults. Remember Sony's CD rootkits? I'm buying a product, not a company. Otherwise I'd buy stock.
> 8. PS3 hardware - future proof.
Until they deliver on those extra features, which means games that people want that don't work as well/don't exist on other platforms. You might as well buy a supercomputer to play minesweeper. The PS3 is certainly better on paper, but you pay for all that new (and often unused) hardware at the register, and it's very debatable that you get anything out of it when you plug it in.
> 9. Wii is out of stock
Odd that the Wii has outperformed the PS3 in sales in almost every quarter since release, maybe people want it for a reason. Still, I thought this was about PS3 vs 360, and there are certainly a few 360s on the shelves..
> 10. Awsome Games
Same w/ the 360. And your list is full of titles available on other systems. AND you listed games earlier. PS3 certainly has some nice exclusive titles, but so does every other system. There are no 360 killers on your list.
> Buy PS3, 'nuff said.
Typical fanboy logic.

 

PS3 FTW

1. Doesn't have Blu-Ray.
2. Ok, they are both equal here
3. Buy PS3 80 GB edition, its the best one anyway
4. For non-hardcore-gamers, Motorstorms plays fine, if you've waited this long to buy PS3 you are not a hardcore gamer.
5. The prices vary actually, depending on where you are in the world...
6. Bluetooth phones? You've heard of them I imagine?
7. Sony vs Microsoft? they are both equally pathetic
8. PS3 hardware does kick ass
9. PS3 is flying off the shelves faster than the Xbox 360, I dunno about you, but most people agree with the blogger.
10. Games are far to subjective to really compare.

Sorry Jordan but COD4 and Oblivion are better on the PS3, come back from fanboy planet. Everyone knows that the PS3 version of oblivion is better, it's no secret. And Assassin's Creed has mixed reviews, some say 360 is better and some say PS3 is better.

@Jordan Lund

Just because some site has higher rankings (by very few percentage points) does not mean that they are undoubtedly better on XBox 360 or PS3. Percentage points, and number make it look like its a cut and dry case but its not. You can't unequivocally say that one game is better than another because some site gives this one a 93 and gives this other one a 94... its not as cut and dry as that.

Looking a the previous comments though, I'd still say buy PS3 over 360

@Jourdan Bestek

Gamerankings scores are an average of all the professional game reviewers, both on the web and in print. When you look at one of their scores you aren't looking at the score from a single site, you're looking at the average score for all the sites.

It takes the bias out of it and the fanboys out of it because all the scores that are unusually high or low average each other out. In the end, you can clearly see, that the 360 versions are rated more highly than all the review sites.

@jordan lund

could the percentages being lower on the ps3 have anything to do with that most of those titles were released on 360 earlier and that when reviewing the ps3 versions, a lower score could be given because its the same game over again, and ps3 kicks 360's ass

@Jay

Good theory, until you look at PS3 and Xbox 360 games that came out at the same time. Same thing again, the better version is almost always the 360 one.

Assassin's Creed, 84% on 360, 81% on PS3:
http://www.gamerankings.com/htmlpages2/930278.asp?q=Assassins%20Creed
http://www.gamerankings.com/htmlpages2/930022.asp?q=Assassins%20Creed

Call of Duty 4, 95% on 360, 94% on PS3:
http://www.gamerankings.com/htmlpages2/939212.asp?q=Call%20of%20Duty%204
http://www.gamerankings.com/htmlpages2/939213.asp?q=Call%20of%20Duty%204

Guitar Hero 3, 86% on 360, 84% on PS3:
http://www.gamerankings.com/htmlpages2/939093.asp?q=Guitar%20Hero%203

Almost forgot... there is an example of a PS3 game being ported much later to the 360... guess what the result was?

Virtua Fighter 5 - 360 version, 91%
http://www.gamerankings.com/htmlpages2/937423.asp?q=Virtua%20Fighter%205

PS3 version, 87%

@ Jordan Lund,

Good explanations and it's hard to argue against something that you clearly have the facts to, no one can deny, I certainly am not. However, whether which system is better or not should be left to the individual ultimatly, I should think, because it is the individual's assessment and up to them to decide which is better for them, do you not agree?
