  To be honest, there isn't that many PS3 exclusives that interest me. There certainly hasn't been one released so far that's tipped the balance and made me buy the console, I bought mine for future games going to be released on it.
  
  
  
  Kinda thinking that'll change at midnight tonight.

  I'll be paying $500 for mine, because half the space and no BC spells CO*bleep* to me.
  
  Honestly I'm not jazzed about spending all those hundreds on the system and then some for games; in the end the games cost more than a hundred each. I pretty much HAVE to buy Blu Ray movies to make it worth it.
  
  Nothing else will let me play Disgaea 3 though...

  The vast majority of games will never fill up a bluray disc though. Games like MGS4 are the exception to the rule, but giant masterpieces like that are few and far between. Most games do not need that much sheer content, or will never have the exorbitant budget to actually create said content. So, if you don't want Bluray for movies, it seems foolish to spend so much money on something used so little. That's all the article is saying.

  I dunno about THIS asshole, but I'll be buying mine because of GTA IV, Killzone 2, Resident Evil 5, Metal Gear Solid 4, Ratchet and Clank, Uncharted, Final Fantasy XIII, Prince of Persia, a million *bleep*ing other games, a blu-ray player, online play, the graphics and sound, and just for something new so go to hell, Ryan Rigney.

      The thumbs on this should have the name of the person who used it.Maybe that would cut down on the pathetic losers who thumb people down just because they can't handle someone having a different opinion.
      
      Oh and now I see why chaut thumbed Jaw down.

    HIS OPINION IS WRONG BECAUSE YOU DONT AGREE WITH IT?!
    
    LOL!
    
    I agree with him and that's why I'm holding off on a PS3 for now. I don't really care about watching movies in better quality, and I am just waiting for more games I care about to come out. It's not that big of a deal really.

      In your background information you admitted to not even owning ANY of the consoles. Your article is basically a joke...leave these kind of things for people that at least own the systems...or at least ONE of them (Preferably 360 or PS3 to contrast). What makes it even MORE laughable is that you have no knowledge whatsoever about the PS3 AT ALL.

        This is from my blog, and the article is about why I'm not going to buy a PS3. If I owned a PS3, it wouldn't make any sense to write an article about whether or not I'm going to buy one. Also, the PS3 is the ONLY current gen console I don't own. I bought a 360, but it red-ringed on me. So it's not like I never gave that console a chance. Please read the article before posting.

        The thing was never meant to be taken seriously in the first place? Well that's a load off my mind. And quite honestly, even if you DID own the 360, it would've worked better if you knew anything about the PS3...you just went on a rant with the Blu-ray bullshit, which most of us are still going like "Wtf is he going on about?".

        Dude, he was informing us why he honestly isn't buying a PS3, not truly trying to bash it, although it definately came off that way. Seeker, chill and Rigney, be more thorough with explaining because you have to expect people to get pissedwhen you touch a controvercial topic such as the almighty video game console wars, even though you didn't really mention the wars.

        Oh plz, it's a public blog, did he honestly expect people to go like "Oh wellz, good for you"? Secondly, by the time he wrote the title he was asking for it. THIRDLY, YOUR OTHER POINTS ARE NO BETTER.
        
        Just cause it's his opinion doesn't mean we should pet his head and say "He'll learn soon...", an opinion based on no knowledge is being ignorant, plain and simple. You would've been better off going "WHY I LIKE NINTENDO'S SYSTEMS", you would've actually held some water in the article without coming off as some blabbering fanboy. Seriously, you DID talk more about Nintendo than the PS3.

      I suppose I understand your anger, Seeker X, at having a console you love being put down as not worthy of everyone's purchase. However, your insistence that I don't know anything about the PS3 is baseless, and completely wrong. I do a fairly large amount of research into the industry that I write about. I've put dozens of hours into playing the console, and totally understand everything that the console has to offer. I like the console, I just don't believe that it's worth my investment at this point in time. That doesn't mean I won't look into one later once more software is developed for it. I have no bias towards one console or another. And I do know more than 99% of consumers about the three major platforms of this generation. Give some evidence that I don't, or I'll ask that you stop insisting that I'm ignorant in the matter. Thanks.

        Well for starters you could've put in more reasons other than "Blu-ray". You could've said something like "All third party games can already be found on the 360" or "I'm not interested in any of its first party games". You know...something with ACTUAL substance.
        
        Oh and anger? I got a PS3 AND a 360 sitting in this very room right now. No, it's not fanboyism, it infuriates the ever-loving *bleep* outta me when somebody decides to talk about the opposite system without knowing anything about it. If you have knowledge of the PS3, you apparently did not show ANY in there...in fact you just showed more favoritism towards Nintendo's systems and games and that's pretty much it.

      If by favoritism you mean liking one console more than the other, then you got me. I like the Wii more than the Playstation 3. That was pretty much the whole point.

        <sub>Which is the whole point of your article being nothing more of a bash fest. Listen Im not one to chime in on stuff like this, but your article is completely not true.
        
        Your article could have been alot better off stating why you love Nintendo, instead of going on about PS3 and Blu-ray with little to no evidence of your "research".
        
        All the article says to people who buys consoles and games is another fanboy who rants about a system he knows nothing about. Seeker X has made every point why your article does nothing but show a Ninty fanboy.</sub>

        I'm done arguing my point. In the end, the logical people on GameGrep that recognize that this is a blog post (giving the reasons I used to determine NOT to buy a Playstation 3 for myself) have voted me to the top of this day's news stories. Name-calling doesn't do anything for your point, and really makes an intelligent debate impossible. So on that note, I hope you'll enjoy my future articles more, regardless of whether or not they mirror your own opinion. Thanks for reading, if you did.

        Why is this such a big deal? Seriously? If he doesn't want to buy a PS3 because of the reasons he put, then oh well. There is no point in continuing with an argument over an opinion, no matter how stupid you believe it to be. It's just one persons opinion. It's not the end of the world. Sheesh >_>

  I have an extensive list of games that I need to play on the consoles I currently own.

  Amen to that. I want a PS3, but I know that if I get a PS3 now I won't finish the ten (or maybe more) PS2 games that I haven't finished yet (or started). I'll get around to it one day. XD.
  ...though MGS4 will be changing my mind on that.
  
  Tbh, I don't see why everyone is going off at the guy just because he doesn't want a PS3. This isn't a great way to introduce new people and their sites to Gamegrep.

    Opinion articles I've written that have made it to the front pages of sites like N4G and Go Nintendo have gotten pretty much identical feedback, so I've begun to take this sort of thing as an introduction to the real face of the gaming community as a whole. GameGrep just isn't any different than the rest of them. But yeah I need to play through Dragon Quest VIII and Ico on my PS2 as well...

  The PS3 is awesome. I wouldn't spend $400 of my own on it. I would wait until a birthday or a holiday and spent my own money on the games.

  I agree. Blu-Ray is over rated. I don't have a favourite in this "console war", but I know that it is really just too far ahead of its time. If they put in the Blu-Ray in 10 years, sure. It'll be everywhere then. In the meantime, try to keep the prices down on these gaming consoles, yeah ?
