I might buy a PS3 when the price drops in the coming year or so... I dont see a reason to pay 600 for a system when I can just put a little more money into it and get a new computer or laptop.
Same for me . I always chose my consoles based on what games interested me the most . The system that had the most of them was and always will be my system of choice .
I'm really curious to see comments from people who have been lucky enough to get a PS3 at launch ....
im not going to get one ever
i think they are a waste
when they came out they didnt even work right
video game reviwers are saying 360 is way better
also sony is dumb, it costs them 750 dollars to make it, so they are losing money by selling them
PS3 = HOMO

I aggree with you , I prefer 360 too but it doesn't change the fact that i'm curious to see what people think about PS3 if they managed to get one at launch .
Microsoft has been hitting up the online scene since activeX controls tried to destroy Java. Sony has been fartin' around with Everquest and.. thats about all. MS just has better offerings and the financial muscle to back it all up.
Does anybody realize Sony is the underdog in this fight? heh

Well, what you need to learn is that Gears of War and RFOM have been worked on for the SAME AMOUNT OF TIME. Both companies started working on their respective games around Mid 2005 because both were ready to have in game videos and demos at E3, and your reasoning with developers having to "unlock" the potenial is pure crap, I would explain it, but someone already explained it perfectly and to the t, you just have no idea what you're babbling about. :thefinger
Thank you. +reppij
Blu-ray is only a real good thing, gaming wise, for people that dont want to get off their asses for a min and put in a new disk.
Its rumoured that blue dragon, for 360, is gonna be one 3 disks. It would probably fit on one blu-ray disk though, but I dont think it is a major problem to change a disk.

I'm not totally sure about it , but arent blue ray discs 5 gigs of capacity and xbox discs 4.5 gigs ? So how could a blue ray disc only use one disc for blue dragon when there is only 500 mb more space on it ?? The capacity difference between blue ray and Xbox discs is really not that big , people talk about it like its 10 times more .
LoL, dude.. its more than you think.
Single layer on one side: 4.7 Gigs
Dual layer on one side: 8 Gigs
Physical size Single layer capacity Dual layer capacity Quad layer capacity Sextuple layer capacity
12 cm, single sided 25GB (23.3GiB) 50 GB (46.6GiB) 100 GB (93.2GiB) 200 GB (186.4GiB)
12 cm, double sided 50 GB (46.6GiB) 100 GB (93.2GiB) 200 GB (186.4GiB) N/A
8 cm, single sided 7.8 GB (7.3GiB) 15.6 GB (14.5GiB) N/A N/A
8 cm, double sided 15.6 GB (14.5GiB) 31.2 GB (29GiB) N/A N/A
So 25 Gigs as a starting point. With 200 gigs probably being an incredibly expensive disc at the moment.. and cheaper 5 years from now, the same as buying a dual layer DVD to burn on a couple years ago.
Anyway, 25 gigs as a starting point is just ludicrous for games. Only benefit would be movies, as reality on film uses so much space. Less so for animation, black'n'white flicks like Sin City, etc etc. The more colors, the more movement.. an extra audio channel or two.. and you use up space relatively quickly. DVD is a space-limited format because the rules state you have to caiter to extra languages.. spanish, french being the usual additions... and if you throw a DTS track in, maybe an hour of extra's.. your movie quality takes a huge bump on a dual layer disc, let alone a single layer. WHEW!
25 gigs = 3x the storage of any given DVD movie. maybe 3x-12x the size of most games these days. Space is BARELY an issue for games, as I said previously.
200 gigs = 25x frickin' times the storage of your average DVD, if it was packed to the gills.
However, you have to consider a great damned lot of that space is going to be used up pretty quickly. A nice quality HD stream can pack 10 minutes of film into 1 Gig easily. So 25 gigs? Sure, lets say 250 minutes of HD grade video. Lets cut off 50 minutes for menu's and extra's. Now, consider an extra 50 minutes for top notch audio tracks in all the major languages. You have 2 hours and change for your average movie. A perfect fit for movies.
Games? Honestly most games dont even use their DVD's worth. Its completely acceptable to release multi-CD games on PC because CD's are pennies to make and games dont TAKE UP SPACE! Just like the first PS2 games were on CD's sometimes, I expect a great many PS3 games to be on cheap DVD's.
People werent happy with laser discs and videocassettes, but the jump from DVD to Blu/HD DVD's is like the change from windows 95 to 98. The change will be slow and sony is foolish to force Blu-Ray on the market and take such a massive loss per console when HDTV's still arent your average household item. Component inputs, maybe.. but HDTV resolutions? Have we reached a point where a small scratch on the Blu-disc can kill a gig of info? lolol
We'll find out in 2007. Although I've heard PS3's are overheating, already. Sheesh, first generation consoles are always such crap. 2007's batch should be stable.
I was wondering , is there someone who has bought a PS3 and can tell us how it is ?

You remember this thread? He bought a PS3 but still can't tell us how it is
I played Motor Storm at wal-mart yesterday. Pretty good lookin game. Yea I'm a sucker for racing games. I'd actually like to play this game all the way through. So far the only thing PS3 has in it's corner for me personaly is that and Lair. 360 has or will have Halo 3. So far I'm still torn 50/50 on the 2 consoles. Still can't chose between the 2 but it's starting to look more and more like I might have to go with the 360 next year!

You won't be disapointed if you end up buying a 360 . I'm also pretty sure that once better games come out for it , the PS3 will be a great console too . Even tough I prefer XBOX 360 , I really want the other 2 consoles to be successful as well cause healthy competition is what drives those big companies to give us more .
There has been talk of X360 being 100 bucks after Xmas. Talk about cheap. I could pick up one and 2 games for less than one of the new systems + controller.

Well that makes my decision for me! Assuming it actually happens!
Do you mean 100 bucks cheaper ?? I would be really surprised if the price droped to 100 $ . The price of the 360 going down 100 $ would make more sense .
