The Top 5 Reasons to Buy a PS3

I am a fan, I have to admit it. So I decided to make a list of reasons as to why someone would buy a PS3.


#5) Reliability

If you have ever owned a 360 the chances are you know what I am talking about. I was at the 360 launch only to have my console work for a little over an hour. Sony offers the best reliability there is. Through all the generations of their consoles it has always been a selling point and will continue to be.

#4) Amazing Graphics

I know you have heard 'the graphics don't make the game better'--no they dont-- they sure as heck do make the experience a lot better though. If you are looking for the HD experience of your life, you should buy a PS3.

#3) Home

The PS3 has a product called "home" which is basically a 'second life' with 'the sims' mixed in. You can play a game of pool or go to a bowling alley in this virtual universe. It is the next generation in online gaming and it is a great reason to own a PS3. *Home is currently in beta*

#2) Future Titles

I know that this is normally the number 1 reason to buy a console, but I have decided that in the case of the PS3 there is a better reason. The PS3 has games like Final Fantasy and Grand Theft Auto IV (also on 360) coming out soon, both are great well known, practiced titles that are a sure thing, and another reason to buy a PS3.

#1) Blu-Ray Player

This is an exception to the rule of buying a console for its games--in a recent post I made I gave out 5 reasons not to buy a Blu-Ray player-- the PS3 comes with a blu-ray player built in. Blu-Ray players often cost just as much as a PS3 does standing alone. Go out and spend $500 on a Blu-Ray player, spend $500 on a PS3 and virtually get the Blu-Ray player free. That is why the #1 reason for you to buy a PS3 is the Blu-Ray Player.

So that is my list, once again short, sweet, and directly to the point. Now you know the Top 5 reasons to own a PS3.
