Yes well i think it does by along way, just want to know your oppinions
crystalpalace
it seems to me that it meets up to its expectations. It was better then i thought when i got mine. Of course we will have to wait unitl more games come out to see its full potential. The only thing i was dissapointed about was the lack of content on the ps3 online store, but i know that in time more things will become avaliable.

I know i would like to see more games but thats just because it hasn't been out long

i have no doubt that it will. the system has a lot of muscles and potentials. try playing motorstorm and you'll feel the realism and strenght of the ps3. i was amazed that it didn't lag after slamming into the wall and damaging the vehicle. it handled the heavy graphics really well and makes you feel that future ps3 games have something great to offer. Sony should be proud of themselves because many ps3 owners are happy. My brother in law has an xbox360 and he rarely plays it. my friend also has xbox360. the last time i asked him if he got any new games for it. he bought several but stopped playing it. he ended up getting a ps3! now he has an xbox360 and ps3. what a game freak! i thought he bought it to sell it but it was the other way around. he enjoys fall of resistance and doing other things with his ps3. anyways... i'm looking forward to all the upcoming ps3 games. biggrin.gif

so its worth the money then

Erm i would say so but if you would like to save money, wait a little longer and as time progresses the price should go down

I agree with what crystalpalace stated about playstation online store.
It would be cool if they allow you to download certain movies as well.
The connections to view webpages could be improved (loading time is bit slow)
As far as worth its price ... I don't know, they better come up with breath-taking games...
Otherwise it's going to turn out like my PSP ... collecting dust

BTW: Is it just me or Fight Night Round 3 lags up quite a bit online

Yeh it does lag a little bit but i can live with it cos its not to much

I am disappointed with it at launch. I think the only good title that launched with the system was Resistance. None of the other games are any good or have already been out the the 360 for months. I also don't like the motion sensing gimmick with the controller. I do a lot of Xbox live and its gonna take Sony a while to be as good. I am also still worried about the Blue-ray vs. HD-DVD war. In the end though, when developers learn the hardware, the PS3 will have better looking games than the 360. I think it just comes down to exclusive games like Metal Gear and God of War. Those type of game sare must buys for most. I like my PS3 but not as much as my 360. I would have to say that I like my Wii better than my PS3 right now.

Judging by the fact that you can't find a wii to save your life, but the PS3's are everywhere, I'd have to agree. wii is fun if you have a bunch of people over.
I think the PS3 is worth it because of the blu-ray. Everything is high when it first comes out. I've heard a rumor that Sony will be releasing a version without the blu-ray, which should drop the price down around the other consoles. Not sure about HD-DVD and blu-ray. Looks like blu-ray is winning now. The HD-DVD is an add-on for the 360 and they're just releasing movies for that. Look back at past consoles, (sega genesis), and see that add-ons never really pan out. I like the fact that you can download demos from the playstation store for free and try them out. And let's face it, if you don't have a HDTV, you're not getting the most out of it. The one disappointment I have is the remote play system is practically worthless. After setting up a special connection for your PS3 on your psp, (the PS3 requires a WPA key...), you find that the PS3 will not stream from the blu-ray player, only from the HDD or memory sticks. And it has to be non-copyrighted content. Just as easy to rip a DVD to your psp and watch it. You can connect to the internet with it, but all in all, your options are limited. There's hope that they will rectify this with a future firmware upgrade, but don't hold your breath. You know Sony. I'm happy with it altogether. Not many good games, but consoles are an investment over time. There's alot of great games out for it this coming year, and I suspect that it will be a hot seller next holiday season. Gran Turismo HD Concept is a thing of beauty. Resistance is fun...as is Motorstorm. As in all things, time will tell. the 360 and PS3 are great systems, no doubt. I'll probably own both before long, what matters is the games. After the first quarter, the PS3 will have more good games out that will make it worth it for other people. I myself have owned a Playstation since their debut in '95, so it was worth it to me to be able to play all my past games I have. And it's run everything I've thrown at it so far. I like the blue tooth controllers and have never had them "disappear" on me. And I've left it running for long periods of time, either downloading or just playing it, and it's never "frozen" on me. It ran practically all day and half the night yesterday. No problems. Got a little warm, but what console doesn't? So, if it's worth it, you have to ask yourself that question. Ask what you would like in a console. It's a sweet system, but I'd have to say hold off til more games are out. To you Guitar Hero fans, Guitar Hero 3 will be released for the PS3 this year. IGN has a large list of games coming out for it this coming year:

Strange, most of the games they showed at the PS3's unveiling have a TBA for 2007. But alot of good things to come. peace
