Playstation 3. Is it worth getting? It has good games with great graphics but is the cost of a PS3 worth it? I saved up for a wii then ps3 then back to wii, is PS3 better than wii or vice versa?

There both terrible at the moment!

but the ps3 will rise in 2008 your best bet is to get that,ill be getting mine mid 2008.The Wii just fails.

I don't have any of the third gen consoles, but I already know that the PS3 is the best of three. The Wii is following Nintendo's usual gimicky trend, without actually producing great games that make it a must have. The only draw for an XBox 360, just like the first, is Halo (and possibly Gears of War). While the PS3 has Assasin's Creed, FFXIII, Heavenly Sword and all of its usual classic titles (Tekken, Gran Turismo etc.)

The PS3 will eventually get good but its not at the moment.

The Wii is good for multiplayer, for one player games it is pretty poor.

Assasins creed is not ps3 exclusive.

Also you forgot to mention the 360 has MASS EFFECT and Bioshock.

You were just caught posting BS.

I don't know anything about Wii, but I'll go ahead and say that PS3 is probably better. But don't buy it just now. I honestly think there's not enough good games out yet. Perhaps wait another year. Like Ultimadream, I'll be getting mine next year as well...

Same. It's also too expensive at the moment to be really a feasible buy. I would say it's the best of the 3 third-gen considering there's a ton of great games on the way or in the development and who knows what else...like sleeper games that you wouldn't would be great but then turns out to be the next great hit.

I'm getting mine hopefully next year when I get a job and I'm in college.

Just a quick note here, not only is Assassin's Creed for both PS3 and the 360... but for some reason it's suppose to run better on the 360. Something about the style or engine used was more ideal for the 360. I'm not really sure. I didn't understand the whole thing but somehow, even though the PS3 is much stronger, it's suppose to run better and look better on the 360. Go figure.

The only console I don't have is a PS3....and that's mainly because it's too expensive right now in UK. When MGS4 comes out, THEN I'll buy one but not before. The downside for the PS3 (and I had the same problem with 360 early on) is that to play PS2 games, I'd need to download a patch/emulator to enable it to play. 360 has the same problem but because it's been out over a year, more games are available for playing now. As for Wii.....it's got no problem with playing Gamecube games. Hell, I actually stopped playing Zelda Twilight Princess just so I could play some old Gamecube games like Metroid Prime and Tales of Symphonia.

I really don't like how people always say Playstation is better than xbox. First off.....Sony has had THREE consoles whereas Microsoft has only had TWO. Of course people will have played more of Sony's games. And as for Wii failing? I highly doubt that. Sure, some people may not like the control methods using the motion sensing but it bloody works. Of coruse the Wii isn't as good as either PS3 or 360 in terms of power but it doesn't NEED to be more powerful to be fun. And that's what the Wii is made for...FUN. However, I'm sure that in the future more games for Wii will be aimed more at more of us serious gamers. It all comes down to choice of games. I will buy all of them just as I did when I bought original xbox, PS2 and Gamecube.

I do not know about how good or not good PS3 is ....do not have one and do not fancy splashing all that money just yet...., besides I have plenty of games to play now without adding PS3 tp the pile.

Wii is worth every penny....and I do not think that single player sucks on it at all...when it comes to multiplayer that is true is great addition in deed. I think that is a good thing, for it gives a nice change when you have company around to do something fun instead just sitting around your living room and just watch telly or most of the time lets face it - do nothing. But let's face it that is why Wii is really for fun....and it delivers when it comes to it.

360 - I play when I go to Val's (above) place, and that is as far that my relationship with 360 will go

...I have no interest to pay all that money for a consol when I am only inetrested in 4 bleeding games.

Val, yes I get you...not that I am saying 360 is better or worse then Sony or vice versa, but the fact how many consoles one company have makes a great inpact on buyers, ....unfortunatelly it comes down to simple preferences and choices and let's not forget finances too. Just because people play more games for playstation does not makes it better then 360, that is true, but it does makes people more familiar with Sony and their products. Beside even with including PS3 no matter how much money it costs right now, Sony in the long term as an investment pays off....and so is Nintedo.... My statement above is a simple proof...I am never gonna buy a consol over 4 games, as I am not insane or that deperate...but I will buy PS3 because I am aware that in the long run PS3 pays off and will deliver. Sorry....and this is lets face it Microsofts problem.

Actually if we stick to that rule,..then Nintendo is the best

..my god they have a whole arsenal to offer there
