Do any of you even *LIKE the PS3??

I've been perusing the forums as of late, and I have to ask if anyone here even has, like, *REMOTELY an interest in the PS3?

There are plenty of pages creaming over the Wii and 360, but the PS3 isn't getting much love.

I own only a PS3, and my roommate owns both a PS3 and 360, so i don't get to miss out on the good stuff hitting the 360, but where are all the *OTHER PS3 lovers out there?

What games are you looking forward to? What has you excited?

Personally, I'm pumped about a lot of stuff hitting the console, exclusive *AND multi-platform. There are so many titles hitting, starting with GRAW2 next Tuesday (and a major title nearly *EVERY WEEK after August 21), that I have no idea how I'm going to come up with the dough to buy it all.

Warhawk is looking great (i was in the Beta, and i *LOVED it. it went from a "meh" to a day one purchase, thanks to my seven days on the Beta)

Lair is looking great too, and I'd prefer to get my hands on it myself, as the only review that matters to me, is my *OWN. After EGM did their backpeddling, I think I'm just going to dismiss their review outright.

Heavenly Sword is a must have for me. I played it at E3 2006, then I got my hands on the demo, and the more I play the demo, the more I see that the battle system has more in common with, say, a Ninja Gaiden, than a God of War. That is to say, it's deeper and more complex than how it looks on the surface. Extended playtime with this title is a *MUST if you are to really get a feel for it.

other titles i can't wait for this year, are Stranglehold, Assassin's Creed, Haze, Unreal Tournament, Uncharted (i *REALLY can't wait for that one), Ratchet and Clank (ditto), and Folklore, which I'm afraid isn't going to get the kudos it deserves, due to the crowded holiday season.

There's a bunch more I can't think of right now, but *NEXT year is looking great too.

Infamous has me intrigued, as I *LOVED the Sly Cooper games, and obviously, Killzone 2, MGS4, and FFXIII are high on the list too. White Knight Story is looking *GREAT, and Level 5 hasn't disappointed me yet (they don't get enough credit for making excellent RPGs if you ask me).

Since this is a PS3 thread, I won't get into upcoming 360 games, because rest assured, the 360 has some titles I'm looking forward to as well, just not as much as the PS3 at this time.

I'm excited about the Game Developers Conference next week, and TGS in September (October?), as I'm looking forward to updates on previously announced titles, and announcements of all new ones.

Playstation 3 fans, what has you guys pumped about the PS3?

    I can't speak for others, but I don't hate the PS3. I do hate the company behind it, but for the actual device itself, I just don't really have any interest in it.
    There just isn't anything exclusive on it that really appeals to me.

    There's plenty of reasons not to like the PS3, but there are also good reasons to own one. There are plenty of people here that *LIKE the PS3 around here.

    They're just not as vocal, because they're probably playing games on it (or watching movies, mirite?)

    What's up with adding an asterisk infront of all the capitalized words? Is it some sort of code language?

    I don't own a PS3 cause it's not worth to spend money on at the moment.
    It has NO "killer apps" right now or in the near future, only solid titles. But these alone don't sell a 600€ system to me.
    In about 2 years, I'll think about getting a PS3. A Wii I will probably never buy.
    I'm completely content with my 360 and will be throughout the future.

    The PS3 is really shaping up into something I will buy in a couple of months. Warkhawk, LBP, Home, MG4, Heavenly Sword , Socom, and other pretty good exclusives and games I'll definately want to play in the future.

    At the moment though, as a 360 owner, I have plenty of things coming up to keep me more than busy. And that doesn't even count Persona 3 for the PS2, and the 2 or 3 games I'll get for the Wii.

    I wish there were more PS3 games aimed at the preteen girl demographic with things like Zack & Cody, Highschool Musical, Ponies, Unicorns and fashion modelling. Sony seems to be forgetting this vital demographic.

    Well, the way i see it. If I could buy both for the same price I would buy the Xbox. Reasons being just the online connectivity and general culture that it is really seems like it's pretty well founded. I can meet new people, plus I can get emails and stay connected to old friends. Content I can download, achievements I might wanna try and gain.

    it kind of makes wanting to buy a new game just for its additional activities online attractive. I could be playing alone, but not really. There's always people online.

    I dont feel like many people are online for the PS3. I feel like if i hooked up to the online world in PS3 it be decently barren.

    Either this is some stuffed shirt business cocksucker or Figboy got his name from shoving sticks up his ass.

    To respond to the poor marketing rep.

    Your console is too expensive.
    Graw 2 is on a console I already have and it isn't that great anyway.
    Heavenly Sword doesn't look good at all.
    Lair is getting bad word of mouth.
    FFXIII will draw in hardcore Final Fantasy people but I haven't seen enough of it to make a call. Square looks like they're trying to do something they aren't good at, but I can't tell.
    Be really happy you have MGS4. It should guarantee that I rent your console once.

    Those are the reasons I don't have one.

    I have seen nothing that would make me consider -

    A] Buying it over a 360 (I have just a Wii, DS and PC right now) and
    B] Even if/when I get a 360, paying what Sony are asking for the console.

    Plus, I dislike how Sony have been acting in the run up and lifetime of the PS3. Although it's all academic as I am skint.

    No picking on you Klyka, but I don't understand how anyone can only own one Next-Gen console. Each console offers something different from the other, so it's nice to have a change of pace.

    My 360 is honestly collecting mountains of dust since I beat the Darkness. I played Bomberman for about 2 days then shut it off again. But I guess since I have a great gaming PC, I don't have a need to play my 360.

    I picked up a PS3 just after the price drop, and I'm looking forward to Folklore and Heavenly Sword and perhaps others, but right now I'm still working on clearing out my giant PS2 backlog(which continues to grow as there's still a few games coming for the PS2 that I'm interested in). As for why I'm not piping up in drooling fanboy support for it, the 360 has good stuff coming, the Wii has good stuff coming, and it's a sort of pointless argument anyways.

    When the PS3 gets something like Bioshock or Super Mario Galaxy, I may start to care.
    Right now, it only has last-gen games with shinier graphics.

    If you are a market research robot, cut the price of the damn thing in half.

    Apparently, Sony's marketing team has discovered that we love putting asterisks before already emphasized words. They are on the cutting edge of the internet.
