Albert Posted October 17, 2006 Share Posted October 17, 2006 No plans on buying a PS3. I did buy the Playstation and PS2 when they came out. I'm sure there will eventually be some compelling (to me) games on the PS3, but I can wait a while for them and perhaps the system will come down in price by then. Until then I'll just play with my Wii. ..Al Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
privateers69 Posted October 17, 2006 Share Posted October 17, 2006 I think, I've heard that the online play will be FREE when compared to the 360 ($50 for 1 year?) it kinda evens out after 4 years. Me?? I'm waiting for the Wii Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
NE146 Posted October 17, 2006 Share Posted October 17, 2006 ehh I probably would, but I highly doubt my chances of snagging one near launch or shortly afterward (I don't buy into that pre-ordering crap). I'd also easily ask for it as a christmas gift since the relatives are always screaming for something to get me, but I highly doubt a bunch of older ladies and whatnot would be savvy enough to score one before christmas either. So yeah, eventually of course. More later than sooner probably. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
warmachine Posted October 17, 2006 Share Posted October 17, 2006 I'll buy one when mame is ported to it, if it can take full advantage of the ps3's processor. *drools* Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

xenomorpher Posted October 17, 2006 Share Posted October 17, 2006 I will be buying one when one is available. I'm not going to be getting one off ebay, thats for sure. I'm in no hurry to get one really until Metal Gear Solid 4 comes out. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Bill Brasky Posted October 17, 2006 Share Posted October 17, 2006 I'm buying two. One to play, one to put in a glass display case in my shrine to Sony, the kings of the videogame world. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Room 34 Posted October 17, 2006 Share Posted October 17, 2006 Hell may just freeze over before I get a PS3. I have yet to own any Sony systems. Then again, it'll be a while before I get a Wii or 360 either, as I'm still trying to milk the DS, GameCube, and XBOX for all they're worth. Well, OK, as soon as Metroid Prime 3: Corruption is out, I'll probably be looking seriously at the Wii. But PS3? I can't even imagine what would make me want one.

Gabriel Posted October 17, 2006 Share Posted October 17, 2006 Not at launch, nor probably anywhere within the 3 month launch window, but, yes, I will be buying a PS3. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
sega saturn x Posted October 17, 2006 Share Posted October 17, 2006 A ps3? What on earth for? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Shaggy the Atarian Posted October 17, 2006 Share Posted October 17, 2006 Nope. I'll just stick with my gaming PC for now as I don't see enough games that grab my attention on it yet so I may as well spend the cash on upgrading to SLi or get a Wii. I would like to get a Wii, see if it turns out to be as compelling as everyone says, but I won't be getting that right away either. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
madhatter667 Posted October 17, 2006 Share Posted October 17, 2006 I'll likely obtain one of each new gen machine. Just not at launch...save for perhaps the Wii. I want one of those anyhow, and since it is the cheapest, that'll be the first I get...and even at that, I'll wait for the prices to come down a bit anyhow.

mos6507 Posted October 17, 2006 Share Posted October 17, 2006 The PS3 was criminally overhyped because of the cell processor. Since then we've had one news item after another talking about how the cell won't live up to its R&D budget and the architecture is getting progressively crippled. Remember when Apple decided to go Intel? People were wondering why they didn't use the cell processor. Now nobody is really expecting the cell to do what they said it would. They are just expecting the PS3 to be comparable but no better than the Xbox360 yet harder to code for. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
keilbaca Posted October 17, 2006 Share Posted October 17, 2006 I'm not. At least until Gradius comes out for it. If they leave it 2D that is. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Atarifever Posted October 17, 2006 Share Posted October 17, 2006 What? No, of course not. Why would anyone buy one? I mean, there's a perfectly good 360 out there already. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Lord Helmet Posted October 17, 2006 Share Posted October 17, 2006 The only reason I would buy one is to play FF XIII...but I really don't think that 1 game alone is worth the $$$. I wish Square would make the FF games for more than one console Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Tempest Posted October 17, 2006 Share Posted October 17, 2006 I want to, but I'm going to wait until a game comes out that I absolutely must have (probably FF XIII). Hopefully that will be after the first price drop. Tempest Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
moycon Posted October 17, 2006 Share Posted October 17, 2006 I'll no doubt wind up with one, Probably not for awhile though. And I'm talking years not months. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
joeybastard Posted October 17, 2006 Share Posted October 17, 2006 Considering I bought my first PSX only 3 days ago($5 at a garage sale), it will be a looooooooong time before I buy a PS3. Unless I find it for $5 at a garage sale that is. Anybody have any cheap PS1 games they want to unload on me? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
accousticguitar Posted October 17, 2006 Share Posted October 17, 2006 My entire collection of 7800 and 800xl hardware and software cost me less than what the ps3 is going to cost, so basically I already spent it. I did buy the ps1 when the price came down to $100, but the extra controller was another $25, and 2 games were $50, so it isn't just the price of the system, it's also the games and hardware you have to buy with it. The bottom line is, I seriously doubt it. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
xenomorpher Posted October 17, 2006 Share Posted October 17, 2006 The PS3 was criminally overhyped because of the cell processor. That doesn't even compare to what Microsoft did with the 360. The had that special on MTV with the unveiling and showed about 10 minutes of gaming stuff and the rest was celebrities talking and then some band played. They also did that Mountain Dew sweepstakes as well as that launch party that lasted hours on G4. But it obviously didn't stop me from buying one. I been reading IGN's hands on with the PS3. It was an interesting read, it would be nice if there was more as well as hands on stuff about the Wii. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Lauren Tyler Posted October 17, 2006 Share Posted October 17, 2006 The odds of me getting a PS3 are very slim. I do hope Namco doesn't make Time Crisis 4 a PS3 exclusive or there's gonna be trouble. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
