What should I buy? [Movie or PS3 Game?] - Blu-ray Forum

enialal · 07-07-2009, 09:40 PM

Guys, I'm confused on what to buy. I don't know if I should buy a PS3 Game or a Blu-ray movie. Blu-ray movies are cheaper, they only cost here 1,500 Pesos, while PS3 Games cost around 2,000+ Pesos. I want to play new games but I also want to try some new Blu-ray movies. I really don't know what to choose between the two. I'm only a student and I only save 100 pesos a day so I really would like to have a good decision. Please help me.

Thanks.

I feel your pain too, I'm a student as well. If I were you, I would go with a game because its re-playable. If you re-watch a movie two or more times in a short period, you'll just get tired of it.

I agreee, buy yourself a good game and maybe pick up a cheap blu ray later

I agree buy the game you will get more bang for your buck.
Also I would try renting if you can, cause then you can rent a game and watch a new blu-ray for even cheaper. But if that is not an option then just buy a game.

Given that it seems that the games are only about 33% more expensive than Blu Rays for you (in the US it's more like games are 200 to 300% more expensive, e.g. $15 to $20 per film generally - vs $60 per game), and that you can only afford something once in a while, I would also advise for a game with a lot of replayability value.

Fallout 3 comes to mind for RPGs, Killzone 2/ Resistance 2 (and their multiplayer) for FPS or probably Little Big Planet if you like platformers.
If you like racing, Burnout Paradise is a lot of bang for the buck imo.

If you want to save money, then I recommend buying a Blu-ray movie.

PS: I noticed you are Filipino. I' am too! Glad to see another Filipino in Blu-ray.com!

Am I a bad person If I laughed while reading the opening post?

But I'd say go with the game. Replay value FTW.

Wait, 2000 pesos? That's like 150USD

No. In the Philippines, about 50 pesos equal $1 US dollar, so 2000 Filipino pesos equal about $40 US dollars.

Rike255 · 07-07-2009, 10:56 PM

Oh there's two different pesos? Veeerrrryyyy interesting.....

Yes. You may be talking about Mexican pesos, because you got your math wrong. We're both from the Philippines, so we know the amount of pesos that equal a certain dollar.

By the way, I got my username from the Tagalog word "kotse", which means "car", so kotsedriver = car driver, because I loved cars ever since.

Yep, never knew there was another kind of peso other than the Mexican one....American ignorance I guess (rather, Canadian).

I somewhat agree with you...

Mikey

PS: About the "American ignorance" one. Canadians are cool.

Is that a compliment or an insult?
