14. 60gb & 80gb version plays almost all your old PS1 & PS2 games, DVDs and CD's. (*note: The 40gb doesn't play any PS1 or PS2 disc games because they took out the emotion chip to reduce the price. But future updates will allow you to download the games kinda like Xbox360.
Some mistakes i found. The title of the thread says you are gonna give me 20 reason to buy one. I come in here and then you say your gonna give me 10, and then all you give us is 4 reason to buy one. I feel ripped off. Shame on you H.axen lol.

Yeah its ok.
2. Playstation Network (PSN) is free. Play multiplayer games, download themes and demos for are free. Unlike Xbox Live you have to pay $49/year.
Yeah thats true but 360 still has a better network.
3. Bluetooth functionality. You can get any bluetooth head piece for mic use. I use the same bluetooth headpiece for my phone and PS3.
Meh.. I hate using the blue tooth as you need to always charge it. As the wired 360 one you just plug into controler and away you go. No worries about battery going flat.
4. Wireless controller comes with cable to charge. No AA batteries or buy a rechargeable battery like the Xbox 360.
Thats one for the PS3. Great work on giving us wirless controllers out of the box. Just wish they would give us longer cords. One gripe with the controlers is when you buy a second one you dont get the cord with it.
5. No overheating problem. At least not in my machine. I was running my machine for 16+ hours and still runs like a champ.
I havent had any problems with 360 or ps3 with overheating.
6. Big hard drive space. I got the 60gb version. There's also 40gb & 80gb available. My Xbox360 only got 12gb!
Yeah good call on that. 20 gig is just to small.
7. You can install operating systems such as Windows, Tiger, Linux, etc...
No interested in that at all.
8. Wi-Fi wireless internet connection. I know wire is faster but honestly, when I play online games like COD4, Warhawk, etc... I don't have any lags. The only drawback is the server. But I rarely have that problem now. Looks like they upgraded.
Yeah its cool as its built into the system as with the 360 you got to go out and buy a wireless adaptor. which aint cheap.
9. Surf the internet with the browser.
Yeah another cool additon. I real suprised the 360 dosnt have this option as its company specialises in computer stuff.
10. Plays Flash videos. Yup...you can play YouTube Videos etc...
11. Divx functionality.
12. HDMI connection allows HD audio & video.
Yeah great but they dont give you the bloody cords. They constantly talk about "PS3 HDMI" well give the cord with the system you bastards. But wait what do we get, the bloody yellow,red,white cords which suck. At least 360 give use the blue,green cords out of the box.
13. Memory Stick, Secure Digital & CompactFlash media card slots so you can put your pictures and movie clips in your PS3. You can even set your own picture in the background.
14. 60gb & 80gb version plays almost all your old PS1 & PS2 games, DVDs and CD's. (*note: The 40gb doesn't play any PS1 or PS2 disc games because they took out the emotion chip to reduce the price. But future updates will allow you to download the games kinda like Xbox360.
Cool with the 60 and 80 but sony looses as they took it out of the 40.
15. 5 Free Blu-Ray movies with purchase of PS3 and also the 80gb version comes with a free Motorstorm game.
We dont get the 80 in australia on the 40. So F you sony.
16. SIXAXIS motion sense controller.
Yeah but the motion controller sucks. I havent played one game were it was good. Gimmick.
17. PS3 Exclusive games coming up. Here's the list for 2008. Click here
Yeah but the need to be good before i get excited. Once i play them then i will give them props.
18. Home is a virtual world where you can meet people interactive. Like the Sims.
It looks cool but its taking 10 years to get here. Its loosing its appeal the longer it takes to get here.
19. Great games like Motorstorm, Resistance Fall of Man, Heavenly Sword, Uncharted Drake's Fortune, Ratchet & Clank Tools of Destruction, Warhawk & Folklore CANNOT BE MISSED!
Motorstorm (only good online), Resistance (only good online), Heavenly Sword (meh just so so), Uncharted (yeah looks cool), Ratchet and Clank (another so so game, been there done that), Warhawk (fun game), Folklore (never played it)
20. Big 2008 Games PS3 Exclusives: Metal Gear Solid 4, Gran Turismo 5, God of War 3, Haze, Killzone 2, Final Fantasy XIII, Final Fantasy Versus XIII, Little Big Planet, Resistance: Rise of Man, Tekken 6, The Getaway, etc...Here's the List
Gotta agree some cool games there hopefully they live up to the hype.
I'll only give one reason....it has the PlayStation insignia on it.
If you need another one, you don't like playing video games that much.
If you dont need another one your just gullible. Take the blind fold off mate. The insignia means nothing unless it comes up with the goods. Sony still need to prove themselves. All we have so far are promises of greatness, this is the year they need to come up with the goods. And i hope they do as i once to was a massive PS fan.
15 years of PlayStation history says otherwise.....if you've ever enjoyed playing on a Sony console before then you have nothing to worry about.
If you need 19 other reasons to justify a purchase, you probably shouldn't be making the purchase.
Sure it has HDMI, Blu-Ray, Free on-line play, Wireless blue-tooth controllers, SIXAXIS(with Force Feedback on the way), PS1 B/C(and for some PS2 B/C), Standard HDD, Built in WiFi, Linux support, and a plethora of other features........what it comes down to is games - and that is one that thing PlayStation has always delivered on. We had the same drought when Ps1 and PS2 first launched, and look at what they gave us.
Its not like its looking bleak. This year alone we get...
Exclusive:
Gran Turismo 5
Little Big Planet
Metal Gear Solid 4
Metal Gear online
Final Fantasy XIII
Killzone 2
Resistence 2
Heavy Rain
War Devil
The Agency
Infamous
Hot Shots Golf 5
Non-Exclusive:
GTAIV
Soul Caliber 4
Golden Axe
Ghostbusters
Battlefield : Bad Company
Burnout Paradise
Devil May Cry 4
Lego Indiana Jones
...and many, many more, with another 8 years of games to come.
Not to mention things like PlayTV(EU/UK), HOME, PSP Interoperability, EYE3, etc..
I'm not wearing a blind fold mate, I know the product and what has delivered and what it can deliver.
Unless Sony folds as a company there is no reason to believe this generation will be any different than the last.
Yeah and Sega had alot of history as well. Were are they now?. All i saying is just because it says SONY doent mean its gonna be great. Yes they have alot of things that are looking good but its not hear yet, time will tell if they live up to it all. I paid $1000 aussie dollars for a PS3 im getting sick of hearing "Yeah it can do this, and this and this game is coming, blah blah blah. Show me the goods and i will be happy.. Yes it can delivor and i hope it does, As im am a ps fan. But just because its says sony playstation dosnt mean it will.
