Ok well I'll start by Introducing myself, I'm Pounder_Zeikku but you can call me Jake, I'm more popular in the ROM Hacking section but I thought I'd drop in and talk about The PS3 and games mainly for it.

When the Sony PS3 was released, there were 2 packages, the 60GB Console and the 80GB Console. Both were slightly different they both had 4 USB ports rather than the standard two we have nowadays. They were given a chrome finish the the "PlayStation 3" text and Disk slot, They also had the ability to play PS1 and PS2 games (using partial hardware).

So why would Sony take out things and "punish" us for getting a PS3 later?
Well for every ps3 sold which was a 60/ 80GB, Sony would lose £500/ $1,100 doesn't seem like a lot right, but times that my the amount of those ps3s sold..and it's millions..Sony lost millions during the launch, They were already in loss due to a downfall in PSP sales (due to custom firmware/ modding and Piracy). So they released the "New" Models, These models we see now, have 2 USB ports, have a matte chrome finish for the "Playstation 3" text/ disk tray, and DO NOT play PS2 games, it can play ps1 games though, rumors have it when PS2s reach the EOL (end of life), where games will stop being released for it, Sony will enable PS2 backwards compatibility support via software and firmware only.

The Sony PS3 is undoubtedly the most stable Next gen console released, It's processors are support Open GL, which means running Yellowdog Linux (Linux for ps3) will be fine. So on top of a gaming console you can have an operating system! Hard-drive efficiency and prices for one are great too, 60GB for £25/ $55, not so bad compared to a 360 HDD. Viewing photo's playing music, storing games and video's, which makes the PS3 the Ultimate media based console.

Sony made a statement a while back saying "The PS3 console is more for casual gamers".
I have to agree and disagree, For one 75% of titles which are released are released on multi-platform, I wouldn't call the frequency of these games being released suitable for "casual gamers". I guess PS3's could be considered as casual because they're not all about gaming.

Now enough of the Console talk, let's talk about games and exclusives, We have:-
-Afrika
-Angel Rings
-Eight days
-EyeDentify
-Fifth Phantom Saga
-Final Fantasy XIII
-Final Fantasy Versus XIII
-Folks Soul
-Formula One
-Full Auto 2: Battlelines
-Genji: Days of the Blade
-God of War 3
-Gradius
-Grand Turismo 5
-Grand Turismo HD
-Gretzky NHL
-Heavenly Sword
-Hot Shots Golf 5
-Jak and Daxter: The Lost Frontier
-Killzone 2
-Lair
-Little Big Planet
-Metal Gear Solid 4
-Mobile Suit Gundam: Gundam World
-Monster Hunter 3
-Motor Storm
-My Singstar
-Ninja Gaiden Sigma
-Ni-Oh
-Ratchet & Clank Future: Tools of Destruction
-Ratchet & Clank : Quest For Booty
-Redwood Falls
-Resistance: Fall of Man
-Resistance 2
-Ridge Racer 7
-Shin Megami Tensei
-Tekken 6
-The Eye of Judgment
-The Getaway
-Uncharted: Drake's Fortune
-Uncharted 2: Among Thieves
-Untold Legends: Dark Kingdom
-WarDevil Enigma
-Warhawk

Little BIG Planet is pretty fun to play
Resistance 2 is just perfect I think.

-Final Fantasy XIII
-Final Fantasy Versus XIII

thats the main reason i'd get a ps3 ;)

theres rumours going round that FF XIII might be out on xbox too..
Yes, Final Fantasy XIII is going onto the Xbox, but Final Fantasy Versus XIII is still only for PS3, The main reason I bothered to buy a PS3 was because of those 2 games.

I'm also looking forward to when they release Gran Turismo 5, I have yet to buy a racing game for PS3.

Metal Gear Solid 4 - Guns Of The Patriots is alright if you like to play an interactive movie.

I still have yet to play Uncharted - Drake's Fortune, but I will definately get within the week. :D

As for games that I do play, I don't play too many just 2.
They are
- Call Of Duty 4 - Modern Warfare
- Call Of Duty - World At War

I have a 80gb console with 4 games, games include the 2 above, LittleBigPlanet, Grand Theft Auto 4 and Lost (not mine). Add me If you want, my PSN is AnimasEnigma.

I mainly Play Call of Duty: World at War on my PS3. I got Street fighter 4 today and I think it is one of best games i have played in a long while.

I bought my PS3 just for the Final Fantasy games, was disappointed to see the FFXIII is going to be on Xbox as well, but I am happy we are still going to get 1 exclusive.

If anyone wants a game of Call of Duty, Resistance or Street Fighter add me.

Let me get this straight: You think it's a bad thing that Square Enix is going to gain a larger profit off of FFXIII by porting it to the 360. I think that Square made an excellent decision in going for multiple consoles. Let's face it, the PS3 is an economic deathtrap for developers, Sony, and gamers alike. It's just not doing well enough for Square to risk devoting its flagship series to.

I agree, But still sucks losing a series which has been with us since ps1 days :P
I have to say i'm looking forward to uncharted 2, I need to buy the first one :P
I borrowed it and completed it off a friend. Still wondering if Jak 4 will get to us...I'm having doubts now
I think Ratchet and Clank: Quest for booty is pretty good for it's price if you want an action/adventure/ platformer off PSN.
I have some downloads to share too if people would like. (If you have downloads I wouldn't mind trading some :P)
I played through prince of persia in about 10 hours, thought that was awesome too.


My PSN names Synyster_Zeikku
I have little BIG planet, Gran turismo 5 prologue (PSN), Prince of persia, ratchet and clank quest for booty (PSN), Ratchet and clank: Future tools of destruction, Stardust HD, The last guy, Assasins creed and Smackdown Vs Raw 08.

With it being always being exclusive to Playstation since they came out having it ported just doesn't feel right, to me anyway. I think it could have gotten the PS3 some more sales if it had of been an exclusive.

Can't wait for Killzone 2 to come out and Modern Warfare 2 this summer. They are the two games I am looking forward to the most.

PSN: Razer302

Games: Street Fighter 4, both Call Of Duties, both Resistance, Devil May Cry, Unreal Tournament, Ghost Recon 2, Metal Gear Solid 4 and a few others.

Yeah it is a good investment, as people have stated before me it's been with the playstation for awhile, what I was wondering is why didn't they port it to the Wii, as the original games were on the NES. And a lot of people own more Wii's than PS3's. But I suppose that the Wii Nintendo hasn't been a big contender lately, with all the Xbox360 vs PS3 crap.

Can't wait for Killzone 2 to come out and Modern Warfare 2 this summer. They are the two games I am looking forward to the most.
I reckon Modern Warfare 2 is going to be wicked, difinetly one of the games I am going to buy. :rambo:

Oh, I forgot in my other post. I have 2 PSN's AnimasEnigma is my startover 1 for CoD4 and My proper 1 is ratchet0998.

Unless you're talking about this petty war that the Sony-fanboys are having with the Microsoft-fanboys, you haven't lost anything. FFXIII is still coming to the PS3. In fact, the PS3 version will undoubtedly be better visually, and you won't have to worry about swapping discs. So, don't worry, you'll still be getting the PlayStation-FF experience that you're used to. I'm very optimistic about how this new one will turn out, especially since the main character is going to be essentially a female version of Cloud.

With it being always being exclusive to Playstation since they came out having it ported just doesn't feel right, to me anyway. I think it could have gotten the PS3 some more sales if it had of been an exclusive.
In case you didn't know, Final Fantasy has not always been a PS exclusive. In fact, up until VII they were all on the NES/SNES. Besides, almost nothing can really help the PS3 now. I think we may have reached the point technologically where are consoles are too sophisticated to be practical for most developers, and that's why the PS3 is tanking.

Actually PS3 has outsold and is still outselling the 360 in Europe and UK, and last I knew it was outselling it in Japan as well. Calling it an economic deathtrap is hardly fair, considering its sales per month are greater each time.

There's also the fact that PS3 is an investment worth making, it's failure rate is under 1%, compared the the 360's colossal 33% fail rate. That can't be economically great tbh. PS3 also has built in wifi, built in battery pack in the controllers, built in Blu Ray and DVD player, easily upgradable HDD and free online among other things. So whilst the PS3 may seem to cost more at first, it really doesn't in the long run.

PS3 80GB = £299.
360 elite + WiFi adapter + charge packs = HD-DVD player = 2 years Live! = around £465.

Normal 60GB 360 with all the above still comes to over £400.

So really, in the long run, PS3 is the cheaper, more reliable and sturdier system.

I'm surprised no one has mentioned Valkirya Chrocles and Disgaea 3. Well Disagaea is Disgaea who doesn't like leveling up to level 9999 over 100 times over. And Valkirya Chroncles, RPG shooter, best idea ever. By the way, why limit yourself to 40, 60, 80, or 160 hardrive. It is legal to upgrade your PS3 hardrive with a bigger one.

I couldn't care less that ff13 isn't exclusive tbh. And i don't see why people are surprised its multi platform. It's not like Square are a 2nd party of Sony.

I really want to play Killzone 2... I enjoyed the first one (glitches and highly sensitive control scheme set aside). From what the reviews look like they've fixed most every issue that the original had.

And FFXIII being multiplatform did surprise me a little, but Square knows what they're doing. 360 sales in Japan have generally been crap, so it will be going PS3-exclusive in Japan while the rest of the world gets both versions.

I was definitely surprised that the newest Star Ocean went 360-exclusive, though. I'm pretty sure it would have done just fine on the PS3 as well, but Square obviously thought otherwise.

Ofcourse I know that, but that was ages ago. Since FF7 there has been none that have been on another console, (not including spinoffs, remakes and FFXI) So losing it is a let down, cba with this any more. Square will get more money fact, do I like it not in the slightest.

The Last Remnant is a game I have been waiting to see for a long time on PS3. It has been out for ages on 360 and is still TBA on PS3, Wish it would come faster I am in need of a good RPG other than White Knight Chronicles. (which I still need to buy)

Well, I'll be a little annoyed if it gets a delay here because they have to hammer out details in the 360 version. As far as I know they're going to start porting it at the same time it starts localization. I don't know enough about how long either process takes to complete but porting it and tweaking it to work on the 360 just seems like it would take longer... :[

Not that it matters much to me. I have far too much to play through before it gets released anyway, haha.

Same. I still have to complete Bioshock.
Thats a thing though, everyone who whinges about ff13 needs to remember. We got Bioshock, we got Eternal Sonata, we're getting last remnant, we're getting Dead Rising 2 etc. We've got just as many 360 "exclusives" now on PS3, so I don';t see why it matters that we lost the one.

The only thing that Square needs to worry about with the porting of FFXIII to 360 is data compression to fit an 8.5GB DVD and compliance with Xbox Live. And porting really doesn't take that long... Ask Ubisoft about that. They're real pros at the art, whether it be a good thing or not (in terms of PS3/360 to PC porting: bad).

But does anybody here think that Ace Combat 6 would have done any well on the PS3? I know it's not exactly the biggest series, but after all these years that it's stayed on a PlayStation console and all of a sudden it just reverts to the competitor. Any opinion on the matter?
