This article lists some reasons why the PS3 will rule the holiday season. The list includes many well known PS3 exclusives, and also includes some features of the PS3. Parts of the list might seem controversial, considering some things on the list are old (Yes Old Snake is Old!). Other things don't even generate profits for Sony. Still, this is a good way to see whats in store for the PS3 at the end of 2008.

Sony called 2008 the year of the PlayStation 3. Whether or not that’s been the truth is up for debate, but there’s been there are few people who can argue the PS3 is finally hitting its long awaited stride. Patient PS3 owners are finally getting their money’s worth this holiday season. Sony’s holiday lineup is packed to the brim with quality exclusives and content that you won’t find anywhere else. Add in the numerous multiplatform games on their way for Christmas and the PS3 will have a library well worth investing in, even for the most jaded Sony consumer. Not convinced? No worries, TGR is here to show you the light with ten great reasons the PS3 will come out on top this holiday season.

    10 Reasons why these "10 Reasons" lists are bogus, is more like it.

    Seriously, who approves this stuff?

      Krunal, this time.
      But uhh..I dunno. At least at the moment we choose not to refuse it..people read it, yknow. I imagine if enough people are fed up with it and views are low for this sort of thing, maybe we'll cut down..I believe we have in the past.

      In either case it appears to be a well written article. If it was just written in ordinary blog format without the "10 reasons" part in the article at all..I'd bet you'd react differently..

      I agree with chautemoc. While Top 10 Lists are clearly overused, sometimes they work better than an editorial style. This case is one of them. I'm not saying that the article is the greatest in the world, but people need to open their minds a bit.

    More like "10 reasons why I'm a dumb ass"

    Srrysly Crap like this shouldn't get through.


    It's one poor ass list anyway, Killzone 2? That's coming out in February, tards.

      And yet had you actually read that killzone 2 part, they acknowledge that fact. The point is, which Koloth so nicely pointed out, it doesn't have to be right here right now thing. However, maybe a change in title would be appropriate.

    Don't be hating my article lol.
    Its more like a Christmas list, than a "top 10 reason Why"

    Eh, the list is at least decent. I don't know that it is really a reason the PS3 would or could win Christmas. But it is a good list of the "exclusives" on the system.

      A few of the reasons are a little bogus, like MGS4 (it's been out for months; pretty much anyone who wanted it has it), and Killzone 2 (isn't out until February).

        Koloth Oct 14, 08
        But people that don't have a PS3 might still want MGS4. And Killzone 2 is something to look forward to. Not everything has to be a right here right now kind of thing. But they don't really contribute anything tp the holiday season.

    Pretty pathetic list. Not really worth the woofting statement:

    "Why PS3 will concquer Christmas"

    Might as well just cut it short and say these games peoople should get, or look forward to, over the christmas period.'

    I could make a Wii and 360 one and then do a sweeping generalisation like this....

    Seriously, these lists are such bullshit. No one gives a shit what some random journalist cares about the state of gaming. Most of the shit he listed was just upcoming games and Home.

      Well half of the articles on Gamegrep are what some random journalist thinks about the state of gaming. And just so you know, I enjoyed this and most other top lists. I think people bash them just in an attempt to be 'cool' now.

          Your fault for making such encompassing and absolute statements. It's like going up to a console and saying "All these titles suck and no one will want to play them". Your stating your opinion as fact and implying everyone must be feeling the same way. Evidenty some people do like these as they took the time to read it through and comment on it.

          Well honestly, how many of these do we actually need before the just repeat the same old garbage. We've seen this type of article so many times before and it only seems like they submit them for points.

          No shit people are going to enjoy them because anything that has something remotely close to the gaming world, they jump on it. For *bleep* sakes, you're acting like I truly believe that no one here will ever like these which is blatantly obvious that I realise people do but am not referring to that. Which is why I said, way to take things incredibly literal. The point is, generally people are getting sick of these and you can just look at that before you start shitting yourselves over that statement.

          And I told you before if you don't like an article don't post, rate or click on it. Gaming news is gaming news. Whether you or some don't like it is irrelevant.

          People like these news and will continue to read it, comment about it with their thoughts and contribute. All you seem to do on articles like this is complain. I like these types of articles, it gives me more indepth to see how true(or other personal taste and opinions of others) it can be. Again 2 of those games won't do much but the other 8 can definitely back up how Sony could win the holiday season.

    Bioshock is hardly a reason why the PS3 will supposedly conquer Christmas. All I gotta say is we'll see.

    For each of the reasons i can just as easily name a reason the 360 will blow the PS3 away this christmas that counter the reasons stated on that list.

    I think a lot of people here are being way too critical. Obviously all "Top ____" lists are biased from the authors POV. If you don't like it don't read it, then the article wont get a higher score, simple as that.

    As for the list, the only two things I disagree with is Bioshock and Killzone 2. Bioshock because it really has nothing extraordinarily new to offer that you can't get from the PC version. Granted, not everyone has a PC to run it so I give it that. Killzone 2 because, like someone mentioned it wont even be out for the Holidays.

    If you want to get into HD movies the PS3 is pretty much the way to go rather than getting a stand alone Blu-Ray player. LBP is a given, MGS4 is also a given . Yes, MGS4 came out months ago but kids who aren't spoiled and can't afford to get a game every time it comes out has to wait for things like Birthdays and Christmas.

      I'd argue it brings something new over the PC version: playability. Hahah.

    I'm excited for three of those things, LBP, R2, and KZ2 which won't even be out this holiday season. Bioshock was too scary for me so I won't be looking into the extras the ps3 version will have. I don't want to use my console to watch movies, I'd rather just play a game. And what is Home going to do? It looks like the Sims from all I've seen, I wasn't big on the whole Sims scene.

    There are plenty of games worth mentioning for 360 as to why it'll conquer Christmas. Fable II, Gears of War II, a new dashboard, etc. Seems way too biased to say that "lol PS3 will beat evry1 @ xmas." Some people, believe it or not, can't even afford a freaking expensive console and all those games even at christmas, and the 360 is still a cheaper console. At least it is where I live.

      But you can't deny that the PS3 has plenty of good things going for it this holiday season. It just sounds to me like you're trying to downplay this. I mean no offence, it's just the vibe I'm getting.

      Cheaper to the PS3, yea but not cheap.
