PS3
by sparker781 - 10/21/09 8:48 AMI have a question that I hope some people can answer. I want to buy a PS3 however do not own an HDTV, now is it still worth getting regardless of whether or not I have that HDTV? I know the games will look better but I cannot afford an HDTV right now, maybe by Christmas, but I want the PS3 now?
Thoughts?
Sure
by Jimmy Greystone - 10/21/09 8:55 AM In reply to: PS3 by sparker781Sure. I think the problem with people these days, is the focus is only on how a game looks. No one seems to give any consideration to how the game PLAYS.
Games may not look as good on a standard TV vs a HDTV, but it'll still be a step up. In my experience with the Xbox 360, the composite input looked about the same as the PS2 with component cables. So, if the same holds for the PS3, you can expect a modest image quality increase now, and a more profound one once you get an HDTV and can use component/VGA/HDMI video.
Wow
by sparker781 - 10/21/09 9:17 AM In reply to: Sure by Jimmy GreystoneThanks for the insight Jimmy. I will definately look into getting it now. Since you have an XBOX 360 I also appreciate no bashing of the PS3....HAHA.
Eh
by Jimmy Greystone - 10/21/09 10:31 AM In reply to: Wow by sparker781Eh, I don't see it as an either/or scenario. Sooner or later I'll pick up a PS3 myself. Just waiting for the likes of God of War 3 and Final Fantasy XIII, which I can only hope is worth the wait.
I feel sorry for the people who equate their self-worth to their possessions. Cars, video game consoles, cell phones, whatever. It's a little sad, and very pathetic.
