# What if you really really really like quite a few games on it?
The point of getting a PS3 (in my mind anyway)

-good games in really high def
-Blu-ray
-DivX so you can download things and then watch it in high def if you can on your telly
-Online gameplay (not that I do that)

And having played the full game I can confirm it isn't crap. Or at least, I didn't think so and neither did my MGS bumming mate.

# There are very few good games on the PS3
FPS and Racing games, not great. I don't illegally download things and can't be arsed with online gaming.

So I'd be paying something stupid for one game and a blu ray player.

# Hang on.
If you've not played any of the games, how do you know? I found Heavenly Sword enjoyable, if a bit short, Lego Star Wars was ace, Elder Scrolls Oblivion is a fantastic game.

There you go: three games I didn't think were shit that aren't FPS or racing.

# I've played on my future housemates, and few other's.
Non of those games are worth buying the console for.

for example, lego star wars isn't an exclusive

# a) our console was free
b) they will release further games for it, I'm not stuck with current titles and that's IT.

so I think we're stuck in terms of being able to view this from the other's standpoint.

# :) this is all opinionated
I can see your point of view just fine

# Oblivion ,like many games
slowly turns into a bad job.

Get item, take item to X. Get thing from x take it to Y.

NO!

# So you got bored, in other words.
I've not played it in a bit, but only because we bought MGS4. I still find it a good romp.

# I can't stand FPS on any console
I need a mouse and keyboard to enjoy it - Which is a shame. So all fps are out.

But I've got a monster of a PC to play games :) on so no worries.


EDIT: if the ps3 could paly flash movies it would be a tops of system.

# As a cynic, I find all of that stuff completely useless.
Don't have, nor desire a HD TV, Blu-Ray (c'mon - waste of time and effort or WHAT) nor the ability to play stuff I've downloaded on a telly (and I'll be fucked if I download 5gig of film over the completely adequate ~700mb in order to watch it in eye-strain-crisp-o-vision). As for online play... I'll do that online. On my PC.

# I never got into PC gaming- I've always been a console girl.
I like having a high def TV as I watch an awful lot of films and prefer to see them in as good a way as I possibly can. Films like Casshern, for instance. In my eyes it's pointless watching beautiful movies of a shitty telly, you may as well just poke yourself in one eye and sit too close to a cartoon.

# That's fair. I used to be a console gamer until it got tedious and dull. I did get myself a Wii though, and I'm dead happy with it. There's no point in me getting a 360 or PS3 to play games which I could play on the PC, so I opted for the more interesting
and eccentric option. In my eyes it's far, faaaar more entertaining that the aformentioned consoles.

# I have a wii.
I barely touch it, it's a console for 6 year olds with the controller sensitivity of a quadriplegic's buttock.

It's fun for half an hour, don't get me wrong, but it's just too.... kiddish.

# I TAKE OFFENSE.
Okami is just the most superb game.

# It's alright.
I've not played it on the wii, I must admit. But still.

# HDTV is a waste of beer money.
I took that two grand for a magic HD screen and spend it on beer- I watch films with hand clamped over my face just to be able to focus on the tv. HD would be a waste :)

# I spent my £400 on a 32 inch HDTV on sale (a while back)
and don't drink- £3ish per incremental bit of headache for the next week? No ta.

I do smoke weed though, I'm not edge or owt.
