I pre-ordered a PS3 when they first went up for pre-order on ****.***, so I'm thinking I should be one of the first to get one....

Not sure if i want it or not though.....especially for the price when they first ship....so I got three options, which should I choose?

-Cancel the order
-Get the PS3 and ebay it (will i make profit?)
-Get it, keep it, play on it, cherish it, go to bed with it

I've had an xbox 360 and sold it coz i really didnt like it, so dnt be giving me no get an xbox 360 instead....

[EDIT] Removed possible competitor name.....i really am a n00b

If you didn't like the 360 can't imagine you'd like the PS3, it's all the same sort of stuff by the look of it.

That and he happens to be stting on a new c2d rig complete with 8800. Doubt there's much any of these new consoles can offer that he's not already capable of.

:confused: But they play different games. Unless you're talking about graphics quality...
 
check the backlog of games from xbox and ps2, etc and it will give you an indication of whats to come on each console. they are not all the same! though i dont see much point getting a ps3 at launch as none of the "AAA" titles are there yet.
 
Only yourself can answer this...

You bought the X360 for a reason and then found you didnt like it.
Chances are your buying the PS3 just to have it .

Whats the driving force to making you want a PS3, is it the cool factor and anticapation of finally getting one or is it because of the games it has available? Of couse many are buying it just for Blu Ray its a great and affordable player and worth its cost for this alone if it matters to you.

Personally i think some people jumped onto the X360 because they perhaps recently purchased a HDTV and they wanted to experience a HDTV source.

Particually when the console launched as SKY HD and all that hadnt arrived. They necessarily arnt big gamers, it was something to show of their telly with and bought at the time they were caught up in the excitment of getting the TV perhaps combined with the HYPE during the X360 launch.

Oh come on it's pretty obvious what I'm saying. Having just spent ~£500 on a descent gaming rig, spending another load of money on a games console he's not really sure he wants clearly isn't a great idea. If he's commited to buying it for profit then fair enough.

PC plays lots of different games too :confused: . I don't think its a fair to use that as a reason to get one and not the other.
 
I dont think option 2 is going to be possible unless your very lucky.

Havnt you read that with PS3 on the shelves the 2ndary market has crashed considerably. Sony will likely release with short supply fully utilising the media for a SOLD OUT exclusive on Sky News but i guarntee you within 2-4 weeks they will be sitting on the shelves.

Clearly he meant different games are available on console that you would not be able to get on PC.
 
I pity anyone that spends a fortune on PC gaming it just keeps going round and round and round in circles.

Their are very few games that truly warrant a major upgrade.
Everyone to their own but with the delays PC titles get and even the future with DX10 and Vista looks like delays are for continuing.

Console gaming is fun with a wider choice of quality titles.

Yeah but there's a variety on each that fall into the same genres. OP doesn't even name a game he thinks would be worth getting a PS3 for. Now having said that he'll reply saying MGS4, but you see what I'm getting at.
 
You know me too well z0mbi3.....

If i cant re-sell it im going to cancel it and get one when proces come down.

I didnt like the x360 and dunno y. However I had the PS1 and PS2 and loved them both. I dont really have enuff time for console gaming any more tbh.

Id say then a PS3 aint for you...
Most Pc fans are FPS / RPG / Sim orientated so if thats your bag you have the platform already

same as me, I really like the PS1, PS2 xbox, but dont have enough time any more so couldent warrent keeping the 360 when I got a good offer, the wii is great for piking up for 30 minutes though! I really like it.

PS3 will be much the same as the 360, dont expect anything new. 90% of the games will also be the same or at least have an equivalent. When the new grand theft auto comes out (on the 360 might I add) I will buy annother instantly.

Can you point me in the direction of where you read that? I'm not trying to start another flame war or even disagree, but I have looked around on the internet and can't find anything about the PS3 not selling. I spoke to my cousin on New Years day, he lives in Washington DC and owns a string of 5 music/games stores, we had a brief chat about the new consoles out and he said that the problem for him is that he can't get hold of PS3's and if he had 100 units delivered they would be gone within a day or two.
