The only problem I have with the ps3 is those damn analog sticks. If I have to do any sort of aiming in a game, i prefer the pc, so trying to get headshots with my friend in RE5 was an exercise in frustration. The PS3 is a fine system other then those stupid sticks.

True to form, Sony made some utterly retarded decisions with the PS3. I still like the PS3 hardware more than the 360, but there's *no* reason for always-on HDCP, locked down graphics chip, etc. Were it not for these things, I'd have bought one already. Not that I have bought a 360 either; the less I have to do with Microsoft the happier I am.

Going Blu-Ray was a bad call for the average console buyer, but at least on that front Sony had an actual reason to shaft the gamers, namely to prop up their struggling media which might have cost them even more than mediocre PS3 sales.

I love my PS3 like a son!
I've never cared what other people say; if something makes me happy, then they can shut up.

Then again it's probably the same reason Macs hate PCs or Republicans hate Democrats or Ludites hate Neophiles or Muslims hate Jews or Twihards hate Potterheads.

"They is different from us, we must hate them." Many humans need conflict to feel whole.

All the consoles suck if you look at them a certain way.

Wii: Alot of crappy games and crappy graphics and crappy online.
360: As reliable as an italian is on the losing side and just as pricey to use online.
PS3: Lack of downloadable content, pricey console and games.

And they are great in some ways/

Wii: Alot of innovative games, Free online and connects with the DS with some games.
360: Great online system and many good games
PS3: Graphics that make you want to puke your brain out so you can play the game without staring at the floor for 20 mins.

everyone hates it because it's fashionable to do so. i just won't buy one because a) i'm a student and cannot possibly afford it, b) it has no games that i want or care about and c) i can get along just fine with my PC and 360. i don't care for it's "better" hardware or the blu-ray drive. it doesn't really have anything else going for it in my view
This, except for the Xbox 360 part

I don't hate it, even though I have a 360.

In fact, I'm kinda bitter I don't have one...

Yeah, I'm going with money and the fact that microsoft seems more deadset than ever this gen to make it look weak by slowly chipping away at its exclusives. The fact that PS3 is pricier and generally lousy for console shooters compared to the 360 doesn't help either, nor does the fact that the 360 came out at a later date and had to play next-gen catchup.

There is a longstanding rumor that Microsoft purposely wants to remove Sony from the console race for various reasons, I believe the biggest being that Sony is one of Microsoft's biggest rivals for the king of electronics throne (don't quote me, I myself am quoting random groups of fanboys here). This would make sense given how many annoying deals microsoft has made lately that seems to screw over the PS3 owner and how one-sided advertising is. Two items in particular are the Resident Evil 5 ads I've seen that say, "only on the 360," which is obvious BS, and the other is the fact that The Last Remnant still hasn't got a release date for the PS3 version in spite of originally being announced to come out at the same time.

Of course many companies are milking exclusive titles these days. Star Ocean comes to mind, most of its games being on Sony consoles before becoming a 360 exclusive in its latest installment. I was never into the series but I'm sure that's upset fanboys somewhere. One series I was interested in was Crimson Sea, who's first title was X-Box only and who's sequel was PS2 only. And lets not forget the Tales series, which seems to jump console every generation. It's quite tiresome, really.

The reason behind Operation Anchorage, The Pitt and Broken Steel not hitting PS3 are all the same as of why Haze never hit Xbox 360 and PC.

MONEY!
Actually we were just doing you a favor, it was a terrible game.

I know why I pcked a 360, because the PS3 was way more expensive and it didn't have any of the games I actually wanted. Since I did buy Halo 3 for it and the Orange Box on the 360 release date. Which ultimatly proved to be way more important then having a console without those.

Although I did go overboard and buy the 360 Elite for it. But it was still way cheaper then buying the 360 alone (?558 for Elite with Halo 3 Limited and extra conroller instead of ?600 for a PS3 with no games.)

So it's more of a "It has more of what I want" in it.

I own an Xbox360 but its not like I hate the PS3 It just had a crappy launch it was high priced and a lot of the games that launched with it did not turn out that good ex Lair, Heavenly Sword. All there best games are taking a while God of War 3 for example.

Every time I read a thread here the PS3 owners are like elitists, which IMO is worse then fanboys

It has no redeeming qualities. The PS2 was a pretty excellent console from what i've seen, very successful too but damn near every design decision they made fucked the PS3 up a little more. I'm happy with my 360 and PC. I'm thinking about picking up a PS2 aswell...

I was going to buy a PS3 but then SONY decided to cut the reverse compatibility so fuck that!
