Radeonx: One of the major setbacks for me is, well, the games. The multiplatformers I already own for the PC or 360, and I feel like a few exclusives and a few DLC games won't be enough justification for a $300 console. If better PS3 exclusive games came out, I feel like I'd be more inclined to get one.
DrDeath3191: They need to get more exclusives. That's the short and long of it.
This is the oldest, lamest excuse in the book. There are plenty of incredibly good exclusives for PS3 that are a lot better than 360 exclusives
Terrific PS3 exclusives:

I can only name a few terrific exclusives for 360:
Spoiler: Click to View
I don't mean to flame, it just needs to be said.
Ok, first of all, opinions on what are good exclusives will vary, but I am just going to stick up for my system of choice and mention the following kick-ass 360 exclusives:
Mass Effect 1 and 2 (since you decided to list titles that aren't out yet I will too) Fable II and III Splinter Cell Conviction Alan Wake Halo 3 ODST Shadow Complex (DL)
And that's not to mention games that 360 got well before PS3 like Bioshock and Oblivion.
In my opinion, 360 has better exclusives. I was a little jealous over Heavy Rain and Fat Princess... but that's not enough to get me to buy one. Neither is Final Fantasy or God of War. They're just not the type of games I like to play.
Spirultima: When i go out, allow me to pick up a game i don't have, its multiplayer on both split screen and online (both at the same time, hopefully).
To be more blunt, there are NO games for it, i have all the good ones, three times i've gone to a local games store and there is nothing i want to buy.
And this is coming from a Sony fanboy.
might be a sony fanboy but your a couple years behind. it does have alot of games. not as much as the 360 but alot still.

I have just about every game for the thing. I want some new ones, and by the end of the year there will be plenty.

so you currently have 557 ps3 games? 159 exclusive games and 395 non exclusive?
btw anyone who thinks the controler should be changed is living in a dream world they arnet going to change it.
Korten12: btw anyone who thinks the controler should be changed is living in a dream world they arnet going to change it.
We're not living in a dream world because most of us who complained about the controller don't give two shits about whether they change it or not. We were simply saying that it would be a good place to start if Sony wanted to make the PS3 better. Honestly, even if they did make the controllers better I still wouldn't get one. I already have an XBox and am happy with it. No reason to spend any more money.

so what you think sony going to say. "attention! every ps3 owner your controlers wont work pass (some date.) and you need to all buy new ones, every game on the ps3 will need to be update to fit the new controller."
captain awesome 12: A better controller is my only complaint. Really it's just the marshmallow like shoulder buttons and the insensitive thumbsticks. I'd very happily use a 360 controller to play my PS3.
thats one thing that will never change. and good that it dosent. I just dont like the 360 controller it feels wierd.
To each his own. It's just a difference of opinion, as I'm guessing you play primarily PS3, while I have always been a 360 gamer until the recent PS3 price drop. I do like the face buttons and the D-pad, but I'm just at a loss with the analog sticks.
Yeah I am. but yeah like what hazy said, after a couple of weeks you will get used to it.
Oh and like I asked Hazy, can you give me a quick list of your PS3 favorites? I only have Uncharted and MGS4 and need some ideas as to what my next purchase should be. It's sort of a tie between LBP and Killzone 2.
LBP, trust me, you get your moneys worth
Also, you really need to try the resistances if you like FPS's, they are far better than any FPS I've played on the 360.

Umm, in case you didn't notice.... Xbox and Sony controllers have the same amount of buttons. Making the L2 / R2 actual triggers instead of the half button / half trigger monstrosities they are now and repositioning the left analog stick will NOT require any software changes whatsoever, nor will it cause the other ones to become obsolete. God you're ignorant.
I see nothing wrong with it. Though I would like it to be immersed into PC gaming as well, if only to tell those PC faggots that I'm not an inferior little toad.

yes I know they do. accutaly. not true. can you push in the analog sticks? also the combinations on some games are diffrent and are studited for that consoles contorller.

Yeah, i find Wikipedia a great way to win an argument too! -.-
And don't be an ass on the matter, im talking about ones in england, and ones that are mostly worth it (excluding CoD5) and some others.
(Also i have 70-80 actually)
I just wanted to know. I mean you where acting like you had literly every sigle ps3 game out. but dang 70-80 is alot. lol. I mean I have had my ps3 for three years and only have 16 games.

Wow... You really are ignorant. Of course you can press in the analog sticks on both systems. Also, I dare you to name a cross-platform game that has different control schemes for PS3 and 360. If you don't believe that Sony can change the controller without reprogramming, I'd like to remind you about this:

wow I am guessing you dont own a ps3 for one. the controllers dont even look like that one. One like what someone said in another topic sony invented the idea for duel analog and so they arent going to change it and copy the 360. Also I am sure when I played soul calibur 4 on the 360 it had diffrent controls as the ps3 but you know what? this is my last post cause I know you can probaly keep going on and on for days and so I am not going to so bye.
Hmmmm... - The price is way better now; 300 bones is respectable for a blue ray player AND game system - Online operations are fine and FREE - The menu is pretty intuitive - Some solid exclusives are out or will be soon (MGS4, The Last Guardian, Uncharted 1&2, Infamous, Heavy Rain, Resistance 1&2, whatever really good-looking racing game that is, etc) - You can charge controllers from any computer's USB port - Everyone has used a Playstation controller at some point in their life - There's no "Red Ring of Death" or whatever disease the 360 sometimes gets
On the other hand - 360 has a library of exclusives (Mass Effect, Halo, Alan Wake, Gears of War 1&2, L4D 1&2, etc) - It won't have Perfect Dark 64 this winter
Maybe i'm crazy, but i really think the PS3 is better. The biggest improvement i can think of is for Sony to go back to the old OS b/c the lastest update makes my games spaz out sometimes.
Korten12: I just wanted to know. I mean you where acting like you had literly every sigle ps3 game out. but dang 70-80 is alot. lol. I mean I have had my ps3 for three years and only have 16 games.
I see.
Yeah, i've had the PS3 when it first came on the stores, and i bought anything that i would deem to perhaps be good. As i found out with my newly purchased TNA: iMPACT game, that the 75% of the 80 are not worth having and a waste of good money.
But i flat out refuse to sell ANY of my PS3 games. Ever.

I have to say, 2 things are wrong with that. 1. the PS3 yellow lights, but thats about 9% of the time, the 360 has a chance of 51% of dying a cold and bloody coloured death.
2. I'm not sure about Mass Effect or Alan Wake, but GoW 1 and 2 are not exclusives, there on PC, Halo 1 and 2 are on PC and eventually 3 will be as well, L4D is on the PC and number 2 will most likely be released on 360, PS3 and PC.

well in the future you could sell them once they are very old.
I was always gutted they took away the backwards compatibility. So many ps2 classics I'd love to replay on my new Darth Vader breadbin, so that'd be one way I think to make it better. Also the controller coming out with proper triggers instead of marshmallow pads would definitely be high up there too. I bought a set of clip on thingamies that have improved things immensely, but the fact that i had to improve something fundamental isinfuriating...
It is a great console though. I'm now lucky to own both it and the 360. 360 still, in my opinion has a nicer controller, and a solid catalogue of exclusives - but I like the bluray drive, web browser and free online play in the PS3. Xbox Live sub fees are a little cheeky if you ask me - as is the Microsoft Points system.
Also it looks like more and more games are coming out that'll optimise the larger disc space and [arguably]more powerful[/arguably] processing capability of the PS3.
captain awesome 12: I've actually wanted to play MGS4 since it came out, but lacked the money for the console. Are you and FPS fan? If so, would it be better to get Killzone 2 first or one of the Resistance games?
Resistance all the way.
I have had ps1, ps2, ps2 slim and now a ps3 I don't want the controller to change, I am familier to the way it feels, its size, it's weight and the triggers.
You don't need those stupid trigger "enhancments" to stop your finger slipping off, if I can play dirt 2 while laying on my side then it doesn't need work.
The thing they should change is the XMB, it was fine till they started adding things to it and now I can't turn my ps3 on and it plays what ever is in it, so if I play a game then turn my ps3 off then turn it back on again I have to press "X" to start the game were as before I could turn it on and the game will start automatically. It is a small thing but they shouldn't have changed it.
how about more downloadable full version games on the PSN store
