How amazing is the PS3? Why would someone pay hundreds of dollars for such a gaming console?

Why do you think its the best? Do you expect its price to get lower during the months of summer?

How amazing is the PS3? Why would someone pay hundreds of dollars for such a gaming console?
First, a couple of corrections:





-PS3 games are $60 NOT $90.


-BluRay players go for at least $900 NOT $500 (unless you're talking about a no-name brand player).





Second, the PS3 is well worth the $600 price tag if you consider that it's NOT just a gaming console... it's MUCH more than that. IT'S A MEDIA HUB. If you're only interested in gaming.... then go get yourself an Xbox and stop bitching about the PS3.





If you're into technology and NextGen electronics, then the PS3 is the unit for you. As I said before.... IT DOES MORE THAN JUST PLAY GAMES, and that's what SONY wanted this console to be..... A HI-TECH MEDIA HUB.





So again... if you want a console strictly for playing games, go pick up an Xbox and wait for the next HALO to come out.





If you want a console for playing games PLUS anything else you can throw at it, then get a PS3!!
Reply:Well, I bought one because I had the money. It does a lot of cool stuff. You can browse the internet. It plays Blu Ray DVD. It is high definition gaming. It's got a huge hard drive. But if I didn't come into some money, I would not have bought it. It costs way too much for a video game player.
Reply:The PS3 was a total bomb, you're correct, why would someone pay a ridiculous amount of money for a game console and then $90 a game when there aren't that many games out there for it. The price should come down a considerable amount within the next year or so but I still wouldn't waste my money on a PS3, your money would be much well spent on a XBox 360 or a Nintendo Wii.
Reply:Its not worth the price at the moment. Everyone i know that has one it just sits and collects dust. Wait at least 6 months to a year and pick it up then. the price will be lower and there will be games out for it worth playing.
Reply:FIrst of all it not the best they onlyy sold about 4 million consoles and the wii is whooping its ***....... there will not be a price drop but i think maybe next year it will be
Reply:it wont drop in the summer, if they drop the price it wont be till around november, and i dont think its the best, im content with it, it needs mroe games and needs custom soundtracks and then ill be very happy
Reply:just because of the blu ray. a stand alone player would cost more than that. not forgetting all of it's other features like media and free on line play. and you can hook up a load of removable devices into it like compact flash card,memory stick duo,mini SD,USB sticks and a whole lot more. it also has more stuff built in than the 360. like wireless and a high def player (blu ray)
Reply:The fact that it also plays Blu-Ray movies adds to its appeal. A Blu-Ray DVD player is $500. Pay $599, get a Blu-Ray player, a media center, %26amp; a PS3 gaming console. It's a no brainer if you already have an HDTV. If you don't have an HDTV, it is a waste of money.
