What does the PS3 have going for it these days?

Question

I have a 360 with like 10 games, and the price drop on the PS3 is inching itself a little bit closer to reasonable, so I have been giving the matter a little thought. But what's this thing have that I don't? A blu ray player? What are some of the reasons people are using to convince themselves to buy one, these days? Them getting rid of the backwards compatibility sucks; idk.

If at all possible, could I get some game recommendations? Anything the PS3 has that the 360 doesn't. If it helps to show you what I like, the games I have are
Oblivion
Fallout 3
Mass Effect
Call of Duty 4
GTA4
Resident Evil 5
Prototype
Left 4 Dead
Gears of War 2
Fable 2
Some cheapo games I bought for cheap

I don't really know squat about PS3s, I've been ignoring them for a long time.

Answer 2

The Blu-Ray technology is superior to the DVD used by the 360. Blu-Ray's benefit is storage. It can hold up to 50 GB of info onto a dual-layer disc. What does this mean? Less data needs to be compressed onto the actual disc, which turns into better quality video and sound.



Not only that, but the way the discs are produced makes them extremely resistant to scratching, not to mention that the PS3 never touches the disc surface.



Also, the PS3 relies on the game developer for HD resolution support, so the PS3 theoretically has an easier time delivering native HD graphics and will have more games with native 1080p resolutions (the 360 is mainly upscaling).



The first party developers put a good 4 years into their PS3 exclusives and it shows on the final product. These are usually the same games with native 1080p resolutions as well.



I'm glad I could give a reasonable answer that just didn't list a bunch of games.

Answer 3

I'm pretty much in the same mind set... when I got an HDTV back in April I thought maybe I would think about getting a Blu-ray (DVD didn't look as good anymore).



But after getting DirecTV HD I have enough shows to watch in HD that I don't know when I would have time for any Movies (and with having an xbox, I guess I can stream some HD movies over Netflix).



So that left me for the games.



The only games I know of on PS3 that I would like is Motostorm Not that great of game, but Xbox doesn't really have anything like it. A couple of games are close, but just different. Killzone 2. this is suppose to be really the best looking Shooter game. Considering how long it took them to develop it, it probably should be. I hear the single player is kind of short, but the Multiplayer is close to Call of Duty.

MAG. is a new shooter that got pushed back to Jan 2010. It is suppose to allow up to 256 in one Match! Who knows if they can pull that off. But the idea is interesting.



The only other game I can think of is Resistance: Fall of Man (and 2) so this is two games. Both sounds like they had good graphics and a good enough game play.



With me having Gamefly already I rent a million games, so Having a PS3 would be good. Just not sure I want to give money to Sony!

Answer 4

PS3 has awesome games. 95% games are multi-plats, but PS3 has superior exclusives of the 2 IMHO.



Just check this year, PS3 has given 3 AAA titles (Killzone 2, Infamous, MBL) whereas none from the 360 quadrant. PS3 has Uncharted 2(best looking game till date) and GT5 later this year + They have God Of War 3, in march next year.



PS3 has Blu-Ray... BR discs are really cheap on sites like ebay, Amazon.... (some retail for 14-15$). The quality is an obvious leap from DVD (480P vs 1080P.... No chance for DVD). And lets just say that BR is going to become the next DVD so you have to adopt it sometime or another. Also, PS3 benifits a lot from BR as most PS3 exclusives weigh in at more than 35-40 GB (MGS4-40GB, Killzone 2-45GB...) So hence, the quality of the games is awesome.



Ps3 has most of the above game in that list + Exclusives as I said earlier (except for ME,Gears,L4D and Fable).... PS3 has Wifi and Blue tooth. PS3 online play is Free... PS3 has better reliability (a recent survey shows that 54.2% of Xboxes are defective whereas only 1-2% PS3's are defective).



In short, if you want a complete package, then PS3 is the best choice. The List of exclusives that I recommend are:



MGS4 (Best game this genre hands down)

Killzone 2 (Best looking FPS... Awesome gameplay and multiplayer)

Infamous (Best open world game...)

Resistance 1/2 (Good shooters)

God Of War 3 (Lol.. What do I have to say about this... EPIC)

Uncharted 1/2 (Trust me, UC2 is GOTY 09... MW2 won't get it)

GT5 (Best Car simulator game... 1000 cars wow!!!!)

MAG (256 player online... MASSIVE scale COD in short)

FF vs 13

FF14

Motostorm 1/2

Quantum (Gears style TPS.... will launch next year)

And many more....

its exclusives games are what the ps3 has going for it



http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/PS3_exclusives there is a whole list of ps3 exclusives

Answer 6

Honestly the PS3 exclusive games aren't really all that spectacular imo. The one major draw it should have is that it is a rather inexpensive bluray player if you buy it used.

Answer 7

inFamous

Little Big Planet

God of War III

Ninja Gaiden Sigma I & II
