Angelus 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. Never cared that much for Japanaese support-which is the PS3's strong point anyways. Even in the Genesis days I didn't buy that many Japanese games outside of Segas stuff. I will buy a PS3...eventually. But only for the few must have Japanese games I still care about-Contra,Shinobi,Castlevania( and any Sega based racers that are exclusive to the machine.) The rest I can find on my 360-love Wesern games more than anyting. In short-I'll get a PS3 much later down the line once I see the must haves that arrouse my interest.

Video Posted October 17, 2006 Share Posted October 17, 2006 I'll be at the store on launch day to pick one up. I'm not interested in it, to expensive, not enough of an upgrade from the Xb0x 360, but It'll go sky high for the christmas selling season, and that's where it will go. If I get one. If not, feck it.

Maybe the logic is that if the sucky boringness was difused over more systems it wouldn't hurt any one system as much. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

awsomo3000 Posted October 18, 2006 Share Posted October 18, 2006 No effing way I learned my lesson last generation with the ps2. It got a bunch of boring crap games while gamecube got a ton of great ones. Sony can suck a big one for all I care Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BydoEmpire Posted October 18, 2006 Share Posted October 18, 2006 There are a bunch of games for PS3 that I'm interested in (Lair mostly), but nothing worth $500+ right now. I'll wait a year or two. Plenty of ps2, DS and Wii games to tide me over until the 360 and ps3 get libraries that justify the price. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
rockman_x_2002 Posted October 18, 2006 Share Posted October 18, 2006 I'm gonna wait 'til they get the kinks knocked out of it. Actually I can't afford the steep price since I'm just a college student and all. But I figure that past will repeat itself, and as such, there will be some kind of issue with the PS3 causing these first few batches to go nuts for some unforseen reason. If I were to get a launch system, it'd be a Wii, since Nintendo has a reputation of getting their systems right on the first try. But even the Wii will have to sit on the store shelves for a little while. Actually I just got an Xbox last year, so I've been using this year to capitalize on all these folks throwing out their old Xbox original games to finance their Xbox 360 collection. So I've been picking up used games that original came out for $40 and are now going for $3 to $5. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BeerGnome Posted October 18, 2006 Share Posted October 18, 2006 I'm personally not a big fan of Sony to begin with .. so it's not on my radar I am however going to buy destroy all humans two next payday for my poor old antiquated X-box-1 I'm saving the 360 purchase for Halo-3, wich is what I told the kids on the local news when they caught me playing the demo unit a day before the thing came out at the circut city Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
kyle Posted October 18, 2006 Share Posted October 18, 2006 I think imma go with the 360. The PS3 is way to much and the Wii scares me. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
bretthorror Posted October 18, 2006 Share Posted October 18, 2006 When it's $150... if it ever gets that low, yes. On PS3 launch I'll be too busy to go and get one anyways. I'm going to be busy dreaming about Red Steel and Wii Sports. I've never played a Zelda game before (got Link's Awakening coming off of Ebay) and depending on how I like that one I may get Zelda at launch as well.

Atarifever Posted October 18, 2006 Share Posted October 18, 2006 I've never played a Zelda game before (got Link's Awakening coming off of Ebay) Link's Awakening is wicked. I can't believe they got so much out of a monochrome 8 bit system. I'd say you can judge the 2D Zelda's based on it. It's not quite "A Link to the Past", but it's really solid.

Yeah the way I see it, if I like Link's Awakening, I'll like the NES ones. And if I it I'll like the 3D ones as well. Thing is I'm trying to combine shipping on ebay with this one seller, so I haven't paid yet. Thus far I got WWF Betrayal (sounds so bad it's almost essential) for 2.59, Double Dragon II for .99 and Link's Awakening for $3.86. $3.00 total shipping, so that's not bad. I am having trouble waiting, but I'm gonna try to get Castlevania for the original GB. If not I'm cashing in, I can't wait. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Maybe the logic is that if the sucky boringness was difused over more systems it wouldn't hurt any one system as much. Naw, I actually really enjoy the FF games, but your opinion is noted I would like them to get a wide release (say, on all three platforms like the EA games). That way I could pick which system I wanted to play them on. I don't want to be locked into a PS3 just for those games. I suppose it's no different than Zelda games only being on Nintendo systems...except Nintendo is the developer in that case as well. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Well, You might not like 'Zelda 2' for the NES as that was a side scroller and the others were top down view. Out of all of them that title dissapointed me the most.

kkshot Posted October 18, 2006 Share Posted October 18, 2006 Yes I wil be getting one. And a 360. But no way in hell am I going to get suckered into buying a wii. No thank you nintendo I have already bought your classic games 3x over. I am happy with my gamecube. And with Twilight/Zelda comming out for the cube I see not reason to get a Wii.

Depends on what you cosider "gameplay" Most turn based type RPG's are about the same in terms of gameplay imho. I still find them fun. They aren't the only style of game I play though.

Shawn Posted October 18, 2006 Share Posted October 18, 2006 No, no and more no for the PS3. I'm getting a Wiivolution all the way. Besides even if I wanted one, I can't afford to shell out 600 for a console, thats just insane!! The Wii will be my first console bought at launch sense the SNES which I made 139 for. So buying the Wii is gonna be just about double what I have ever paid for a video game system in the past. Let alone if I got a PS3, that would be quintuple the price at least.
