So will you be buying a PS3 on launch day?

Is this most apethetic console launch to hit Yak Yak ?

This and the PSP, I think.

I wonder how many AAA+++ must have first party exclusives it's going to take to persuade people to spring for a PS3. .

But has sony ever had any "AAA+++" first party?

I mean, Ico's a great game, and a few others they have done, but "AAA+++" is pushing it a bit.
Cant think of anything better, or even in the same league,as Ocarina or Mario64, and those didn't help the N64 come out on top.

I wonder how many AAA+++ must have first party exclusives it's going to take to persuade people to spring for a PS3. Maybe, just maybe, franchises that we don't know much about yet like Lair, Fatal Inertia and Afrika are going to be the system sellers this time around. Or not. Or maybe the decider will be whichever system gets the "best" version of multiformat titles like GTA 4 and Resi 5. Interesting times.

Hmm, at this price it'll take more than 1 or 2 games to spark my interest. Once it's dropped to £200-and-something then I'll reconsider. I bought my PS2 when they were £100ish, and then went shopping for older games and found a tonne of fantastic titles out there.

I bought my 360 on impulse of "ohh look, shiny new tech", and so far have had an awful lot of fun with it - don't regret my purchase in the slightest. My Wii has been restricted to Zelda and Wiisports. And now it's broken But it looks to be fun for mini / party games if nothing else so again was worth the purchase. When the PS3 delivers something that neither of the other consoles provide then I'll no doubt be there. But right now there isn't a single game worth buying the system for, and it's going to take more than MGS4 to convince me otherwise.

Another Katamari and it'd at least stand a chance for me though!

Not a chance.

I've just got a 360 I barely have time for, and will probably pick up a Wii in about 6 months time. But the PS3 appears to have absolutely nothing to offer me.

[Istar]

Yep - when the PS4 launches and they're down to £100.

Seriously, I mostly play WoW on the PC, have an occasional bash of something funky on the 360, and twiddle in idle travel moments with a PSP. A PS3 would be an expensive dust-collector.

Now if anyone on here gets one and wants to raffle it off for free, I'm in of course.

I think I may start a thread here with the title "How people breath on a regular basis?", that might give us a similarly predictable response.

I never breath - I prefer the more traditional breathe

[GeeZa]

No. It's been out in the US for a while and still no.

Give me full-on HD Resident Evil and I'm all over it. It's all about the games as usual.

[Misfit]

Come on, where is OBSAK? We need to find someone who is buying one!

[PinkFearie]

I am Buying one for OBSAK for his b'day

[aureole]

No. I'm still iffy on being an early adopter: I was an early adopter for the DS, the Wii and the PSP (involuntarily on that, won one in a comp). The Wii has been okay, sort of intermittent use. My Xbox 360 is only just coming into it's own - I clocked Dead Rising in a few glorious days, then waited ages for a non-driving non-fps game.

[Meatpuppet]

IF they had 'Next-Gen' - Shadow of the Collosus as a lauch title, then I'd mildly interested. As it stands - NO - I'll wait for the simultaneous 360 price drop, and snag one of those instead..

[piku]

425 quid?!

Er no, sorry I won't be buying one. That's a 360 and three games, or a Wii and quite a lot more. That's 100 quid more than I spent in car insurance this year!

Care to explain that a bit?
Rod_S questioned how many first-party IP's it would take for the PS3 to sale well.
I'm merely stateing that imo, sony dosnt have "AAA+++" first party games. Singstar, GT, Ico, ect are good games, but Id hardly rank them amonst the best games ever made.

If Nintendo couldnt sale the N64 on what are often called "The greatest game of all time" (ect), how can Sony hope too of their own IPs?

This isnt fanboyism, Nintendo has simply made many "AAA+++" games that are universaly acclaimed, probably at least an order of magantude more then Sony.
And yet, still, that dosnt help their systems sale.

Sony systems have always sold because of the 3rd party IPs, not the first partys.
So, imo, 3rd party games are primarly whats going to sale the PS3.
If its to sale at all.

[BBC-B Get'in'mah'bell-E]

Will I be getting a PS3?

Nope, got a Wii and that’s getting loads of play – I see nothing that can compete on the PS3 in terms of originality. It’s too expensive. It’s an ugly looking system. I will chose HD-DVD over BlueRay. I don’t like or more importantly *trust* Sony as a company after the Root-Kit debacle.

[Portland]

If I did, it woud be for ebay profiteering, abd I don't think it'd be worth it.

Not got enough time for gaming as is, still got unplayed/unfinished quality GBA and PS2 titles, let alone DS.

Console or a years car insurance and a track day thrown in. Not tricky.
