Top 5 on why you should get a PS3 Posted by TheGhid | at 10:42

Now I am not really the one to ask for gaming advice like which is better? PS3 or Xbox 360, Because Really I don't see the difference to either of them. So anyway here is a top 5 on "Why You Should Get a PS3":

1) Upgradable HDD

A lot says that the 60GB version of The Playstation 3 is the masterpiece of all the versions. Mainly because the complete features (memory slot, reasonably big storage, backward compatibility with PS2 games) But yeah, all good things comes to an end. It's hard to get your hands on one nowadays because of some obvious reason, it's not being produced anymore. So, you're doomed? Not really. Get yourself a 40GB version, upgrade the HDD yourself (which is fairly easy, heaps of tutorials online) and voila! a playstation 3 with big storage within your budget. Not to mention the other 4 reasons why I am writing this.

2) Exclusive Games

Playstation 3 has some serious line ups. Despite the slow start, Playstation 3 has improved a lot since then. Titles like uncharted - Drake's Fortune, Heavenly Sword, Metal Gear Solid 4, Resident Evil 5, Gran Turisomo 4 just to name a few are the most played games on the Playstation 3. Along with the tilt sensitive Six Axis controller (now comes in duel shock flavor too!), Playstation 3 definitely has improved and worth considering to get one.

3) HDTV

If the Xbox 360 requirers and HDTV, then that goes double for the Playstation 3 games output fantastic visuals at 1080p, and the built in Blu-Ray player sweetens the deal. In short, Blu-Ray does to the DVD did to VHS - a big improvement. The added clarity and color accuracy will make you want to re-watch all your favorites.

HDTV's cost as little os $500 these days, and prices on larger screens continue to drop. A few years back you could expect to pay $2,000 to $3,000 for a 50" screen. Nowadays you can find one for a little more than $1,000. To properly use an HDTV, make sure to connect the console with an appropriate cable, an HDMI cable if possible, or component video cables if that isn't an option. Feel free to penny-pinch on the cables. Unless you need tremendously long cables, the cheapest will set will likely work just fine.

4) Rechargeable Controllers

The Xbox 360 requires batteries, where as thew PS3 is rechargeable, and it takes 1 hour to charge for 6 days of gaming, that says it all about the controllers really.

5) Online Gaming

Its FREE, granted that the Xbox 360 gaming experience is better, but if you just want to get online and pay nothing because you know you won't be on it much get the PS3. Perfect for that type of gaming.

So really thats it, that list was sent in by wandillup and it really comes down to what console you want, what accessories you want, I have a PS3 and I am working on getting a Xbox 360, so yep the best answer for this is get the sorta console you want for your gaming lifestyle.
