I want to know if this is true at PGL.


Please make known who you are when voting. You don't have to say your answer, just that you voted.

PS3 owners ONLY.

[BrewCityUpstart]

I voted first...obviously lol

[Calypsi]

I voted, and at the moment its just games.

[GoatMother]

Games, movies, music (SACD's,etc) & slideshows.

[dmiller68]

I voted movies only while I have played a couple games on it I just don't think of it as a game machine. Once some more titles come out, more friends get one, and I find a better controller I think it would move to both.

[grife]

and I find a better controller

What is wrong with the controllers?

[Woundup]

I voted for movies only. This will change once some really good games hit shelves. I do have motorstorm but I have only played it twice since purchasing 3 months ago.

[Gordon]

Well currently I am using it for nothing then... But it will be for games.

[Calypsi]

You guys should go get Ninja Gaiden Sigma, specially if you did not play it on the Xbox, but yeah Resistance, Ninja Gaiden , Virtua Fighter, and Motorstorm is about it for quality games atm. Lair in a couple weeks

[Jon Liu]

Yeah, NG:S is a great game for sure!

I wasn't wowed by the demo of Ninja Garden Sigma... Sorry... What is it with Sony and sword fighting and fighting games... I don't like either much although I play them sometimes. I even tried "God of War" didn't like it much. I bought Resistance but I have played it only once. I just can't get used to the controller. I guess I have been playing on the 360 too long. The PS controller just doesn't feel right. The funny thing is no one is ever on the PSN when I get on with the exception of Brew. Until a have a large friend base playing on the PS3 I don't see it becoming much of a gaming machine for me. I can log on almost any time and see 8-30 of my 91 friends playing on my 360.

Ninja Gaiden is the quintessential sword fighting game!

I've realized I don't like demos because they often don't properly represent the actual game. they may give you an idea of how it's going to be, but at the same time... games like NGS where it's so comprehensive, it's just hard to show off what it really is like.

[Calypsi]

I guess its all up to your preferance, but NG:Sigma and God of War 2 are 2 of the highest rated games on every site out there. Both are really good if you like the adventure/fighting games. If ya don't really like that type of game though then you wont prolly get into either, and NG:Sigma isn't real easy, but it is really long like 25 hours or so if you can just go through it and beat stuff first try. As far as the controller, is the same as the PS2 and I think to people with bigger hands it feels too small mabey. I go back and forth between the 360 and the ps3 though without a lot of trouble. Really if you hold them over each other the layout is pretty close, there is just less plastic and a different shape on the ps3.

I think both controllers have their pro's and con's. PS3 missing rumble is a minor thing but still I'd like it. 360's sticks not being symetrical is just odd. Did the designer have a pet fiddler crab? Humans though are symetrical, well the ones I know.



Granted I can use both controllers fine aside from hating the D-pad on the 360, why is that so hard to get right. Has stopped me from buying a few live games.

[BiffCo]

I use it mainly for Blu-rays, but if a good game comes around I will play that. I voted both for the time being.

As far as the PS3 controller, I don't like it. Not only because of the fact that it's missing the rumble, but also because it's just too damn light. It feels like a cheap plastic controller, not a Sony licensed one. Those parallel analog sticks don't agree with me either.

[dmiller68]

Brad, I think you hit it on the head with the controller.

[Dom]

I must admit the PSTWO controllers are light as hell, and the analogs are weirdly placed its awkward to control in fps's, but like anything, You get used to it.

[Peench]

I use my PS3 mostly for movies, but do game on it when I can so I voted both. If I had to choose what I use it fo
