Should i buy a PS3?

[BluRayNick]

I already have a amazing Blu ray samsung top of the line player that cost 300.00 dollars should i get a PS3 also? I mean I'am not a huge gamer only play sports games is it worth it? I'am going to buy a small HD TV later in the year for my sports room and want a Blu Ray player for it, so should I invest in a PS3 or just a cheaper Blu Ray?

Im would say cheaper bluray player if your not gaming. Save some money and spend them on movies.

As a PS3 owner I say yes. Especially if you plan to play games. Even if it's just sport games the games look great on the PS3! Plus if you want another BD player its a win win.

well if you don't already have a gaming system, I'd suggest getting a PS3. So many features:
Blu-ray lol
Games
Media center - I have videos and Tv shows downloaded on my PC. I can go to the living room, and watch it on my big screen through the PS3.

Remember, the Plastation 3 does a lot more then play games and movies. It is a storage device for movies, music, and pics. It is a streaming device from your PC to the Ps3 for movies, music, and pics. It is a web browser. It has a online movie store for renting and purchacing HD and SD content.

I have a Ps3 hooked up to all HDTV's in my house for that reason.

I guess I'll go with a PS3!

I am looking at getting a hdtv for the bedroom. I have a ps3 in the living room,and would get no other bluray for the bedroom but a ps3. A bedroom ps3 would not get used really for gaming, but as mentioned above the ps3 is way more then a blu/gaming system. No stand alone can do everything the ps3 can. my 2 cents

The question isn't should you get a ps3 but why HAVEN'T you gotten one yet

Ok now seriously. I have a PS3 my self and when I was going to get mine I said I was never going to get games for it mainly because I'm just not into gaming. WELL WELL WELlL..... let me tell you waht boy has my mind been changed. there are 4-5 titles I want to get game wise for my PS3. not including tranformers the game that5 I got for my wife foir X-mas. (I'm further ahead in the gaem then she is. )

I would get a PS3, BUT if you already have a Blu ray player, then I would tell you to wait for a price drop. Hopefully 1st quarter of this year. I am going to get another for the bedroom but since I already have one, I can wait for it to be a bit cheaper. Hopefully when I get my taxes back.

+ 1 I'll get a second BD player for the living room myself so houseguests can enjoy my BD films & games too. Damn that means I'll have to buy two more controllers too.

Anyway to the OP: If you can't afford a PS3 than a stand alone player will be fine. As Ferris Beuller would say: if you have the means, I'd highly recommend you pick one up. It's so choice.

being able to store movies/music and photo's makes the ps3 worth so much more over a standalone. and thats not even getting to the gaming part yet.

[Petra_Kalbrain]

PS3 all the way!

[alkalinesi]

i say go for it. when i was younger i was into games, i wouldnt call myself a hardcore gamer, but i wouldnt call myself a casual gamer, im in between. well for a while i played games but not as much as i used to when i was younger. i had the ps2 and gamecube, well i bought a ps3 a yr and half ago and it brought me back to games, i cant get enough games. it deff brought my inner child back and i couldnt be more happier, if you dont play tons of games, i say still give it a shot, it will deff hook you. plus its such a great machine.

I wasn't a huge gamer either until the likes of Dead Space and Fallout 3 came out, and pretty soon Killzone 2. Plus there's just so much more you can do with a PS3. Spend the extra cash if you can and pick one up IMO

Oh thats a big Fat YES! even if you don't play games that much but if you do this guy just created this thread that you should check out https://forum.blu-ray.com/showthread.php?t=80402

If your just a casual gamer and don't want to get into gaming at all I'd wait and pick up your favorite games for about 10 bucks to 15 bucks a piece. When you have a few cheap titles the system should be less expensive thus making it a better deal for you.

I, however, LOVE my PS3. But it really is a gaming machine. It also does music and photos nicely, but honestly no one buys them for THAT reason alone.

[sardaukar1977]

Yes!!

here is the long and the short of it: YES.
