Title: Playstation 3 Owners?
Post by: SonOfKrypton on March 06, 2008, 02:16:41 PM
Come on...Tell me there are a couple of you guys on here!  I'd love to play a couple games on the PSN network with any of you.  I'm a big fan of shoot em up games and racing games, so the only games I own on the PS3 are Resistance: Fall of Man, Motorstorm, and Call of Duty 4: Modern Warfare.  Right now, I'm obsessed with Call of Duty....I mean, I have rarely seen a military game so fucking well put together.  Not to mention, it visually blows me away every time I load it up.

Even if you don't use your PS3 for games and only to watch Blu-Ray movies SPEAK UP!  I want yalls PSN names...Mine is 'P3aceIsWar'.

schro, KC, one day, those boys of yours will need a real machine.....One day they'll need a system with a supercomputer grade processor within it and epically realistic graphics.....One day you'll need a system capable of pumping out high-def Blu-Ray (or DVD if that's how you roll) content at 1080P with Dolby Digital 7.1 surround sound and a massive hard drive for storing hours and hours of user inputted video.  One day, you'll need a Playstation 3. The Wii's time is almost......up.

LOL, no not really.  The PS3 was my first gaming system from Sony.  Before that, I had a Nintendo 64.  And now only use my PS3 and laptop to game....But the PS3's power sure has intrigued me....Like how the Air Force bought 300 of them yesterday for 'research'.....

I am tossing up between getting  PS3 or Xbox360. I have had my PS2 for nearly 8 years and it still plays like a dream. I love the Sony controller. But I borrowed a 360 from a friend at work for a few weeks and played Gears of War and Halo3 and that sold me on it. I am saving my green and going to decide which one to get soon.

I've looked at them both and the PS3 is much better in most respects... 1080P, Blu-Ray built in, more durable, etc.  Friends that have both can't get enough of the PS3 (except for the lack of a lot of games right now)

I've seen the graphics of some of the other systems and they're pretty impressive. But I don't see us investing any $ in a new system anytime soon.

As fun as the Wii is, our kids' favorite activities are sports (soccer, softball for Nicole, baseball for Alex, tae kwon do, hoops, & golf). In fact, Alex is trying out for the regional select soccer team this week (tryouts are over two weekends). Although he's only 7 1/2, the youngest division is u9. Most of the coaches that have played against him have told The Lovely Mrs. Schro & I that he needs to be playing against tougher competition. I'll keep everyone posted.

It was a "feel good" moment when we discussed select tryouts with Nicole. Although she has the skills to tryout, she is not. There's a much greater time commitment with select level. She is also involved in theater and music. We explained to her that there's only a finite number of hours in the day (and $$ in daddy's wallet). She understood that and made the choice to not tryout. Plus she said, "If I make select team, that means you won't be my coach. I'd rather stay with The Dream Team (our team name) and have you as my coach." That made my day.  :@`

Schro, You certainly are the epitome of a proud parent. I know the sun rises on sets on your kids and The Lovely Mrs. Schro.

Tyler whatever you do, steer clear of JVC. We have had our HD LCD TV for a little over 2 years and the quality has degraded considerably already.

I'm hoping to get a PS3 and the Planet Earth series on BR for my birthday in a couple of weeks.

I've got a Sony 60" 1080p Widescreen Rear Projection that absolutely kills.

I have really been on the fence with this as I have a PS2 that I have played to death. I want a new system but here is my dilemma...

1 - Xbox 360 has more games right now.
2 - PS3 has alot of "plans" but I have been burned on that line before... yeah, remember Colecovision?
3 - A Wii is WAY more social and good times without having to have the dexterity of one of those Mortal Combat champs that used to hang out at 7-11 so my wife and less geeky friends can play too.
4 - My gaming time on the HD LCD will not be a ton as that TV is where movies are watched and such.

On the other hand -

1- Madden in 1080p
2 - SOCOM
3 - 1080P gaming, a bag of chips and Heineken for hours
4 - Blu-Ray (movies are another hobby of mine)
 
Why must I be faces with such difficult decisions... I feel like Luke Skywalker in Return of the Jedi

I was at Best Buy on Saturday and researching this same topic.  The kid I spoke with said Wii is better for entertainment gaming for more than one person.  He said if you're buying a system for yourself to buy a PS3. 

I'm new to the whole thing, and really confused.  It would be the first system I've owned since an old school Nintendo.  I think the deciding factor will be availability.  I can walk into any store and buy an XBox or PS3, where Wii's are never in stock.

I have a Wii (reason for that was Zelda - nothing I love more since I am 11 *g*) and I also have a XBOX360. No PS3 yet ... waiting that the price drops a bit. It is still quite expensive! Until then I have to stick with my other console fun!
