Should I buy a PS3?

Ugh... I should save my money... for something... lol

Or should I get one, I have a 50" HDTV that is in some serious need of HD loving...

Be sure that your HDTV supports 1080p before you go out and buy that PS3 so as to delve into the graphical beauty.

The games I think still play in 1080i (not sure). But yea, to fully appreciate it, gotta have the 1080p.

I'm going to be getting another TV soon (well in a few months) thats def going to support native 1080p input.

Too late, I did.

I decided I needed it... I get bored at my cabin and end up trolling here. I'm trying to be a good boy now on TA...

Back to the radio thread with me for now.

Oh and I bought CoD3, Fall of Man, Madden 07, and Ridge Racer 7, another controller and an HDMI cable as well.

do whatever you gotta do - but just realize that there will be another PS(something) in another 6 months! maybe buy it then when it's cheaper that's my only advice! if you have any spare money you can donate it to me

Posted by yujie__ on Jan-18-2007 03:38:

5 years is the average shelf-life for a console (although the last cycle was 6).

Sony is bragging that the PS3 will have a 10 year shelf life.

Unfortunately, prices won't be going down for at least a year and a half (in my opinion).
