So I'm considering investing in a used PS3. Have a well priced offer for a system with some accessories and games. Anyone own a ps3 and find it to be well worth it?
What are the "must have" titles for the system right now?

Call of Duty Black Ops. Call of Duty Modern Warfare 2 is awesome too. I like Bad Company 2. I think Bad Company 3 is coming out soon. I wanna get Crisis as well. I play strategy games on my Mac.
PS3s are good to use as media centres too. You can download the software for it. Having a blue ray player makes it handy too. It's also free to play online unlike the Xbox.
My PS3 brings me many many hours of entertainment. There's nothing like kicking people's arses after a long day. My girlfriend used to hate the thing but now she's addicted to Call of Duty.

i have a ps3 but i barely play it anymore. i bought a shitton of stuff for it as well.
GET KATAMARI its so fun and yea im aware that's all i ever talk about but oh well. seriously.
i enjoy grand theft auto, too. slapping whores and shooting bitches is virtUal fun.
i dunno what other games. i don't dig/play ps3 that much anymore and i got over it. i think 360 is better for multiplayering or w/e

Migraineur, Is the media center software available through Sony? And I'm assuming it is USB friendly...?
Ellie, what is Katamari???
Thanks for the quick feedback

i used to have a ps3. never was really a big fan of it. it is a great thing if you are looking as a media center thing, but when i bought mine, i bought it planning on using it as a computer as well. since sony took that away from us, i sold mine on ebay. personally, i prefer the xbox 360, but to each their own, right?
the good about the ps3 is that you can easily upgrade the HDD with whatever size you want.
also, my ps3 was usb friendly for just about anything usb i plugged in

I love my PS3. Black Ops and Battlefield: Bad Company 2 are awesome. Some like one and hate the other, but I enjoy both. And LittleBigPlanet. LBP is fucking awesome. I also use mine for Netflix. Totally worth the money.

definitely worth it, i mostly mine though as an HTPC streaming MKV files to it from my computer w/ ps3mediaserver..
in terms of ps3 originals... little big planet, infamous, unchartered 2, and god of war 3 are all worth checking out.

I don't use mine as a media centre yet as I don't need to but my friends do and they love it. It is USB friendly though and the thing about upgrading hard drives easily is cool too.

external hard drives with the ps3 isn't that great though, as it only supports fat32, so 4gb file size limits

I definitely think its worth it, and i'm not a "consol gamer". So, if i'm sitting here and DONT play video games on it and still find it worth it - then as someone who plays video games, I'd assume you'd find value in it aswell.
Netflix through it is nice, blueray is wonderful, new games are great (whenever i do play them), and the old games youc an download off the store are dope too (think MK3).

i have a ps3 and i love it. will never go back to xbox. everyone i know who has a ps3 loves it. those who claim they like their xbox have never owned a ps3. you can do so much more with your ps3 than an xbox, and the online gameplay is for free. dont let them tell you the online isnt as good as xbox because that is bullshit, you wont be able to tell the difference from psn and xbox live.

Why wouldn't they do ntsc? That is somewhat of a drag. Thanks for that heads up tho.
Anyways, I bought a 160gb one used for $300 Still under the original warrenty and came with lots of xtras
GT5 + logitech GT racing wheel God of war 3 Little big planet Heavy rain Uncharted 2 Sports champions + move controller + eye cam He also put in a 12' HDMI cable
Originally he offered it for 250 but I wanted to know why he was selling it and he said he had lost his job and needed money bad. I knew I was getting a steal so I told him id throw in an extra 50 cause I felt for him.

 I figure even if I don't like it I can turn around and make a profit...
so far the wheel is difficult with GT5 I don't have a good setup for it yet. Anyone have any tips on what to mount it too?

I have both xbox 360 and PS3 and play them/like them equally.
but I had both systems hooked up to a 1080 Tv and the PS3 seemed to run smoother and with better graphics than the xbox

Thats bc PS3 is 1080p, and suckfest 360 is only 720p.
Hey Op, check out the unconventional games also. Darksiders, Prototype, FFX13(FFX13-2 is coming out soon!). Right now Bioshock is fricking awesome! Castlevania pisses on GOW, and i loved GOW's. Uncharted's are fun for a day. Buy your stuff off ebay, not retail.
FYI, you need a 1.3a HDMI for the PS3. The standard 1.3c will burn out eventually. They are hard to find, so look well. They can be had for less than $10 on amazon.
If it's heavily hyped, it will be a letdown.

Actually the Xbox 360 has 1080p too. Why tell him about 3rd party games on the PS3 when it has so many good first party games?
Metal Gear Solid 4 is an awesome game if you played MGS 1 & 2. 3 Doesn't have much to do with them.
Heavy Rain Uncharted 1 & 2 are good too. If you're into Japanesse RPG's then the PS3 has got them. Plus the 3rd party games they have been mentioning.
