the ps3 does so much more than play games tho. lets say you have a psp. you got a buddy who has an ipod. he or she has a song on it you want. connect the ipod to the ps3 and take your psp memory stick and stick it into your ps3(assuming you have a 60G if not then what the fuck is wrong with you?) and you can copy the ipod songs OR videos onto your ps3 OR to the memory stick. it can surf the web faster than my pc which is disheartening. when the ps store gets more content itll be awesome. hopefully the whole ps1 library will be up there for dl. better get those 4G psp memory sticks folks! not to mention its a dvd and blu ray player altho i havent watched a blu ray dvd yet. i understand if folk dont wanna buy it right now cuz there isnt much on it but, other than zelda whats on the wii ? i mean seriously swinging a controller is fun and all but that gets old. wheres the substance! when metroid comes out ill get a wii. the ps3 can play all your old ps1 and ps2 games AND you can save em straight to the HD using its internal memory card feature. can teh wii do that w/ gamecube ?

clay: its a tobbogan.

Its also half the price Q_Q...

As far as games go, the virtual console alone would merit me to buy the wii, but thats cuz i still play my nes and snes and shit. Metroid and Mario Galaxy will make me cream. I am a huge zelda fanboy.

I am not sayin the PS3 sucks by any means. I'll definitely be getting one, i just need a better reason than an FPS. I already have 360, so i have Call of Duty 2 (3 sucks imo), FEAR, Prey, and Gears of War. I do want to play FOM, but i can live without it. I hang out with a lot of people who dont play a lot of games, so something like a Wii would be fun for small get togethers/ parties etc. Seems more suiting to a casual gamer. Plus its nintendo Q_Q.

As far as all the multimedia facets of the PS3, i can get a lot of that on my 360... no HD/Blu player, but i dont have a 1080p tv, so that does me little good. I have a decent pc, so all my music transfers are a bit more practical on that. And, when it comes down to it, all those extra features are def cool and useful, but i would rather judge a video game console on its games and how it runs them.

The one thing that really sucks about 360, though, is the 20gig HDD. Why they dont have an upgrade available is beyond me, but 20gigs goes fast.

Right now i would put it at XBOX360, WII, and then PS3. After another year, that will likely change, but damned if i can predict how @_@.

The only reason I want Ps3 is one game, which is pretty sad. The game is MGS4... and its gonna be rough for me when it comes out lol. I also have a PSP, so Ps3 might be good hardware for me to have, but Iunno.

There's pretty much nothing I'm flipping over for Wii or 360 though, so Ps3's in good standing!

I heard a rumor that the MGS series (1-3) are being re-done for the 360. Kojimas crew has been working with 360 dev kits on some "Project-X" or some such, so i wouldnt be shocked to see those, or even MGS4 on the 360 :O. Virtua Fighter already lost full exclusivity (6mo window), and there are also very lose rumors that Tekken could follow suit. Sony needs to do something to earn their developer faith back.

Lefiel

01-14-2007, 05:54 PM

be that as it may the ps3 is still more powerful than the 360. ive heard everything from virtua fighter to ffxiii being on the 360. i mean the 360 has out performed the ps3 so far but developers have had over a year to develop for it and the ps3 is using sum experimental processor. sony has lost the rights to a lot of games in the past this isnt new. they lost the exclusivity to the gta series and final fantasies have been made on other consoles as well. ppl have been trying to say how the 360 is just so much btr than the ps3 and its a huge waste of money. for the games i play the ps3 has been the best choice for me. i can play all the old games i used to play and there is potential to play old ps1 stuff on my psp.

honestly i think it boils down to whether you play a lot of playstation games or xbox. if you nvr owned a ps system in your life and you wanna play stuff like mgs4 or ffxiii etc take a chance and hope they get put on the 360. or you can just get the system the games are supposed to come out on first and be done with it.

now if i were to step back and think "what games would entice me to get a 360?" honestly there is nothing on it and nothing coming out on it that id rather play over mgs4, ffxiii, resistance, gta4, and lord knows what else may come out on it a year or two down the road.

anyways beo is my nigga.

right now is the chance for xbox fanboys to talk shit and call the ps3 a waste of money

but they also forgot 360 games also didn't look that impressive during launch. PS3 with its earliest games are up to par with 360 graphics, just wait till developers get used to the new coding when it comes to developing games, and i guarantee you 100% PS3 > 360 in terms of graphics

Sykes

01-14-2007, 07:51 PM

The power of the systems doesn't matter.

The graphics of the two systems are going to end up roughly equivalent.

The only thing that is going to mean anything is who develops what for which system. The system itself makes up 1% of the difference. The other 99% is up to the game developers. Everything else is merely an academic argument which only serves to give fanbois on both sides something to talk about.

Give it time.

For what it's worth, I think Sony completely and utterly flubbed the PS3 launch. They have also made an absolutely ridiculous business decision by refusing to allow pornography to be distributed on Blu-ray (http://www.sgknox.com/2007/01/11/no-porn-on-blu-ray/). But that's all immaterial in this debate because the game is not going to be won or lost by Microsoft or Sony ... it's going to be won or lost by the developers.

If MGS4 comes out for 360 or is even announced for 360 before release on Ps3 I'll want a 360 more by far. One thing though... is that I like how Ps3's online part will be. I don't like the idea behind xbox live. :P

I still have faith in Sony though, even though they're losing a grip on games. All you have to do is compare Ps3 to Ps2 or Psx and their competition at the time... Sony overcame a lot and kicked ass before, its hard to imagine them failing. They're marketing kings. If anything, Sony was a LOT more handicaped for Ps2 and Psx initially than they are with Ps3.

Yummy

01-14-2007, 08:47 PM

Yeah I agree Sony has done a shit job so far, but I still have faith. The Playstation fanbase is still extremely large, and I'm pretty sure PS3 won't pull a Dreamcast. The Playstation 3 I feel was rushed, but give it time along with the developers and it will succeed.

The original xbox flopped in Japan, but this gen what system is getting more support, Wii or 360? XD

Cyrus

01-14-2007, 09:53 PM

Wii will still get more support. Japan doesn't like the Xbox because its biggest game base is first person shooters which are not popular in Japan. This is why Microsoft is trying so hard to get Square to make games for them. If they can get a big RPG base for their system then thats a big reason for the Japanese gamer to buy an Xbox.

They used to hate microsoft, until Blue Dragon came out... then 360s sold out across japan in a matter of hours.... not to mention Hironobu is working on another 360 only RPG (all of this from Mistwalker studios). Micro$oft is startin to crack into the jp market...

Lef: as far as the PS3 being more powerful than the 360? It is really hard to tell right now, both systems have tech specs that outdo the others.. it will really come down to dev utilization, and from what i have heard, the PS3 is really hard to dev for. One thing that bitchslaps the ps3 is the ram. Why they shot so low ill never know.

I dont think the PS3 will be another dreamcast... but it could very well be another saturn... saturn tanked because it was extremely advanced for its time. Devs technology just couldnt match up to the saturns tech. I could definitely see the PS3 having the same fate. They are trying to pick the lock when they already had the fuckin key.

I am not sure what you are sayin with the whole graphics thing. I have played R:FOM and i think Gears graphics beat the hell out of that. I would compare FOMs graphics more to COD or something(not that theyre bad or anything...

As far as games go? The only thing actually out for the PS3 i wanna play is R:FOM.

If we are talkin what is to come then MGS4 DMC4 Tekken and FFXIII (imo)

XBOX 360 now? COD:2, Gears of War, Prey, Condemned, FEAR, Rainbow Six, Burnout, Graw, Dead Rising, viva pinata (some of those may be cross platform?)

xbox future: Halo 3, Blue Dragon, Graw 2, Lost Odyssey, Kane and Lynch, Huxley(if you havent heard of that look it up @.@)

Xbox is extremely FPS centric, i wont deny that, but they are def adding to the mix with some great titles from other genres. Blue Dragon and Lost Odyssey alone, two RPGs from the creator of final fantasy, are reason enough for me to have my 360 (those are exclusive so far.)

But then again i can afford all 3 systems so i can say shit like that :P

Thats all for now, i gtg to work in 5 hours @_@..

Power does matter, but the power differences between the 360 and the PS3 are negligible, so it doesn't matter in that comparison.

im not gonna front, over the years ive come to not rly like xbox or microsoft. they just come off as arrogant and i cant stand arrogance. 360 is btr than the ps3 right now but it could all chance a year or 3 from now. it rly doesnt matter which is btr or what. it boils down to what you want to play. i asked myself what i really wanted to play. i can go to sleep fine if i nvr play gears again or halo 3 ever. i will be a fucking wreck if i cant play mgs4 or ffxiii or a ffvii spinoff that doesnt suck. im also not paying $50/year just to get an online acct.

Oh Lef btw... enchanted arms is comin to PS3 i think, its a pretty good RPG, you should pick it up. Also i heard Saints Row will be going to PS3.. thats a shit load of fun too.

Vivec

01-14-2007, 11:49 PM

I like sony's free online gaming more, I don't care about the community at all.

And Sony is cocky, but they have every reason to be, they have had the industry by the balls since it stepped in. After what happend with Ps2, I con't pass judgement on them THIS early really.

Ps2 came out vs Dreamcast a lot like how Ps3 did vs Xbox 360. Xbox 360 is obviously better than DC for its awesome mainstream 3rd party support (Like Sega had bad relations with EA). Ps2's launch game graphics were worse than what DC had out, Ps2 was the over priced one launched with a shortage, that was extremly hard to develop for. Difference between Ps2 and Ps3 is Ps2 had competition coming out a year after its release with much better hardware, while Ps3 has the top hardware.

People would talk about DC sales and stuff, and how Japan was all for it etc, but it still flopped. Once again though, Microsoft is better than Sega, they have more money, better marketing, and are getting more support. The hardcore gaming community never has supported a Sony launch yet, but 2 years after, all of the people not supporting it had one themselves. (Psx/Ps2) >_>

I'm not a big fan of the pricing, and probably less hardcore of a gamer than I used to be... but rest assured that there's no way to write off Sony, period. All you have to do is go back and look at the facts about Psx and Ps2, if Sony could pull #1 out of their asses with those pieces of crap, they can most definently do it with Ps3.

I'm kinda taking my own side on this, 360 is impressive, and so is Wii, and sony is screwing up. But, that means nothing about how things will end up. Because Dreamcast, Gamecube, and Xbox were all fairly impressive systems to start, and sony was fucking up when Ps2 launched... but in the end, who had the last laugh?

Zumi

01-15-2007, 01:55 AM

I have both Xbox360 and PS3, but I can tell you the graphics on both are pretty much the same.

The reason I got a PS3 is it has far better Japanese developer support then Xbox360. I know there will be a lot of games I will want to buy for it. MGS4, and FF13 by far my most wanted games for that system. Its a nice replacement for my PS2 which is getting kind of old. In the end it will come down to what games the big developers make for each system.

I like playing Square RPGs and and I know not many will be released on Xbox360. Japan really doesn't like it. Blue Dragon sold about 80,000 copies in Japan but really that isn't all that impressive.

The thing that I like the least about Xbox360 is the fee for online multiplayer. They offer almost the exact same thing as PS3 offers but its free on PS3. Both systems only offer matchmaking servers once the game starts the gameplay is dependent on the hosts connection. I did the free trail and bought one of those 3 months cards to play a few games online but I don't really feal i got my moneys worth. Until something good like Halo 3 comes out I won't be buying another one of those xbox live cards. Since I can just play stuff like Resistence online for free on my PS3.

I am guessing once Sony lowers the price of PS3 and have more games out for it they will start to sell more then they are now.

You kind of run out of space on console hard drives really fast too. I was down to 3 GBs on my xbox360 so i deleted a bunch of stuff and got up to 5 gb. On my PS3 FFXI took up 11 GB just like that. If SE actually released some kind of next gen online RPG for PS3 like they said they were, it would use up so much space on the hdd.

You misunderstood me, I think they were the best systems for their times. I think they ended up great... but both of them on paper and in the eyes of the hardcore gaming community started off just as bad, if not worse, then Ps3 did.

Mostly, I'm saying that all this early Ps3 bashing by people is kinda stupid, because Sony has never had a good launch EVER. Ps2's launch makes Ps3's look good. And nobody thought Psx had a chance in hell vs Nintendo and Sega back when it launched... but in the end, who sold the most units and games? Sony.

I'm not calling them crap by any means :P I'm just saying... people are jumping the gun on Ps3 being crap way too early, since they all started out bad.

I am a little worried though, about its potential to jump back. I do not doubt it is a powerful console, and it definitely already has some amazing graphics showing, but the price tag and wavergin dev support worries me. I know everyone is probably sick of hearing the price complaint, but it is effecting sony. I havent gone into a store that sells electronics recently and not seen a handful of these things sitting on the shelves. Gamestop is now offering 100$ off if you trade in your ps2, because they arent sellign fast enough. If you take a look at sales figures, PS3 is still lagging.

Dont get me wrong... i actually believe the system is worth $600, but it is going to be hard to convince the casual gamer that it is. And in the end, that has the potential to hurt sony.

I would love to see sales jump, and i am thinking that once the games start pumping out regularly, there will be a few spikes.

The graphics on PS3 when playing PS2 games look exactly the same to me. That video of FFX that guy made doesn't look like that at all when I played it on my PS3. Theres no jaged edges or aything But I am using a standard 4:3 TV which PS2 games look the best on.

The problem people have with PS2 games looking bad is when they are trying to run PS2 games on PS3 on a HDTV with HDMI. Since any PS2 game will get played in 480i even if you have an HDTV its going to look bad on a HDTV, 480i won't look good it. Thats mainly cuase PS2 games weren't made for HDTVs

On my PS3 I have yet to play a game that looked worse on the system. I hooked up my PS2 to my downstairs TV incase I wanted to play it down there but I haven't since I just use my PS3 now. I like having unlimited memory cards on PS3

I'm a owner of all 3 consoles, 360 for about a year now and PS3/Wii for about 2 months.

PS3: Very nice console, has alot of features including downloading PS1 games for the PSP. In which its really all I use the console for right now. I actually regret buying it, simply because I beat R:FOM... and there are no good games out besides it (except fight night, madden but I own them for 360 since release) Games being delayed so many times just doesnt help either, Rainbow Six has been delayed 4 times now and was a launch game... if it came out on time, it would eaasily be one of the best sellers.

Xbox 360: I usually sit down and play madden, fight night, Gears of War or Rainbow Six. I enjoy this console simply because it has a larger library (due to it being out the longest) but this console has the best online network out of any console on the market right now including Xbox and PS2.

Wii: Great console, the wii sports has to be one of the best free games any console can come with. The opera browser is very good, and I prefer it rather than surfing the net on my PC (posting on wii right now). This system also has library flaws with release games. There were supposed to be 2 great library games and only one is actually good (Zelda and red steel). Its also a very interesting way of playing, but after a day of work I simply just dont feel like swinging my arm to simply roll a ball or swing a sword so I usually only play games on this console 1-2 times a week.

...... but maybe i'm just lazy.

Also dont bother listening to majority of the wabsites who claim Xbox 360 is better, and alot cheaper than PS3 as it seems pretty close to me really.

PS3 60gb: $599 + Tax

Console
60 GB (3 times larger than the 360, plus you can throw any 3.5" SATA Hard drive into the consol and it will work)

Wireless controller w/Battery pack + Charger

Built in Wireless Connection

Built in Blue Ray player (Blue Ray vs HD Dvd Topic, no thanks lol)

Free Online Play

Xbox 360: $399+ Tax

Console
20 GB Hard drive (however, if you want a larger hard drive you need to find a way to mod your console)

Wireless Controller (Doesnt come with a battery pack, so it will cost you a extra $20 for a battery + charger)

Wireless Internet connection (Isnt included, will cost you a extra $99.99 for it)

Microphone (Microphone is included, and its pretty good. However if it breaks you need to purchase one designed for the 360. However with PS3, and Blue-Tooth headset works on PS3)

HD-DVD Drive (Not included, and will cost a extra $100-$200? I'm not sure on its price)

Free Online play (360 does come with free online play, however if you really want the good online play it will cost you a extra $60 year which is well worth it IMO)

Just a comment largely influenced by geeks at work and folks who work or have worked in the games industry:

I really think the PS3 is going to kick ass, but not yet or a couple of reasons:

1. The architecture is totally new and foreign; I'd go so far as to say it's revolutionary. It's capable of some extremely powerful processing, more than anything that's ever been designed before it.

2. At the time of its launch, it was somewhat rushed and as a result, I think most of the launch titles didn't have much time to be developed. To that point, they didn't have any opportunity to really learn how to harness the power I mentioned in #1 and they weren't able create in-house tools to streamline their development process.

So I think that once game development companies have better software to write software on this new architecture, we'll be seeing some really incredible images. Whether or not the game content will suck or not is another story, but the stuff sure as hell should look amazing.

I'm going to enjoy playing all these kickass games that are going to be coming out in the next year for wii while i wait for ps3 developers to get their shit together. By the end of the year hopefully the dust will have settled in the next gen dvd format wars, and there will be a couple decent games to warrent me buying a PS3. There is really not a compelling reason for people to buy it now other than to watch Blue Ray. Unless you just want it to have it :)

And this is coming from a sony fan boy. So its not like I'm biased. PS3 has great potential now, but thats all it is. Like sykes said, the key is going to be the developers. And only time will tell with that.

I rented Genji for PS3 today. Hollywood Video charges $8 to rent PS3 games but I had a $5 off coupon. I don't know how those rental places stay in business. Anyway its kind of fun, if you like samurai slash em up type games. The graphics are really nice, but it did seemed kind of rushed to me. The games major flaw is that the right stick doesn't control the camera giving you some really bad camera angles at times. Its not always obvious where they want you to go next, one time I found myself running around the same area lost for about 30 min before I stumbled onto where I was suppose to go by accident. The motion sensing controls doesn't seem quite right just seemed really tacked on. I don't really like the whole motion sensing thing game companies are trying to go for, I much prefer classic controls.

So glad I got Zelda TP on Gamecube instead of going out and buying a Wii, but I probably get a Wii when they have SSBB.

Another question about PS3 accessories. There are two difference Coolers coming out for the system. I was reading some reviews (more like stupid comments) from people on game-stop.com and no one really knows anything and are just talking out their ass.

Anyone know any legit info on the coolers and if/when I'd need to get one.

Serb

All 3 of the systems are a good investment if you think about it. Its all about what u want to play. The sony fans will invest into the ps3, xbox fans into the 360 and the nintendo into wii... But the majority of hardcore gamers will have both.

Personally i <3 my xbox 360 Q_Q, @ 11 games now pretty fun. As said before it is a bit fps eccentric but thats due to the previous system, just like the ps2 so... As far as stuff goes on which system is more powerful or weaker thats a different story which is pointless because if you are a good developer you can make great games for both

As far as things go for now... im going to stick with my xbox 360, but maybe in the summer time buy a ps3, JUST maybe if they actually get a different game other then resistance, and btw zumi that game u rented scored a 3.4 or something, sick:cry:

you dont rly need a cooler. it doesnt heat up that bad. just give it plenty of venting space and itll be fine. it wont like heat up your house like a 360 and doesnt sound like youre 2 feet from a F-22 Raptor throttling up or nuthing.

Some interesting PS3 news today...

At first it was announced today that the PS3 will launch in the UK at roughly 630 euros..... people were outraged... then later in the day it was announced that price was wrong... it will really launch at 650eu... thats almost 900usd.....

Sucks for them.

I have heard reports of the intercooler fucking up 360s.... i forget why, and cant find the article now, but i remember it being a legit reason. I dont have heat problems with my 360 though, so i didnt plan on getting it anyway, just a heads up for anyone who is though.

Oh, and speaking of 360 games... anyone else been drawn into Viva Pinata yet? :tati:

Yes, I had a Pelican xbox 360 intercooler.

The 360 power supply was simply throwing through too much power into the intercooler, and it was actually melting the plastic because the combination of the power, and due to the intercooler being made of plastic (metal connector to plastic?.....)

Well, luckily my 360 was not one that was badly damaged. If I can find my old pictures I will post some with the burn marks on the 360 and intercooler.

Long time no see every1, it's Rizzo live from UC Irvine waiting for my next class (just transfered into their Aerospace Engineering program fresh out of jr. college). Really, the true winners are the ones who own all 3 systems. Only one Socheata and I have is the ps3 (can't complain, look at the lineup for 07). Every1 made valid points about all systems, best thing to do really is just wait it out and see what unfolds. Regardless of which system you have, they all look promising. Just look at the releases:

http://forums.sohh.com/showthread.php?t=787710

Resistance is fun no doubt. Socheata (Kimmora) and I beat that game over one weekend lol, alot of fancy weapons. Right now, I got that, Fight Night Round 3, Madden (dumbass Chargers had to lose on Sunday), and NBA 2k7, my psn id: Senbonzakura (I love bleach). I'm usually on during the daytime Saturday, rarely on during the weekdays because I'm taking my upper division classes now. Its been two weeks since school started, and I haven't gone out with friends once yet. The quarter system they have here opposed to the semesters at jr. college is a little more demanding-but the stuff I'm learning now is alot more fun/interesting.

I hate them because I have to deal with them on a daily basis because our company outsourced all of our "technology management" functions to them. The net result is that they run all the systems at the corporate office now, the help desk, etc. and nothing works nearly as well as it used to, nor is there even the slightest hint of a light at the end of the tunnel.

On the bright side, in 10 years the cost savings from the outsourcing may finally be greater than the costs of the transition, and may result in a slight increase in profits which might boost my 401k. Or the more likely scenario is that the initiative fails miserably and the company spends twice that transitioning back.

IBM has the best salespeople in the world, who are really good at convincing executives who shouldn't be in a position to make certain kinds of decisions in the first place make those decisions. The problem is that they have destroyed a great majority of the products that they have set their hands on in the past 10 years.

Sony and Immersion Play Nice
Lawsuit ended, rumble coming, fans happy.
by Micah Seff (http://ps3.ign.com/email.html)

showUSloc=(checkLocale('uk')||checkLocale('au'));d ocument.writeln(showUSloc ? 'US, ' : ''); March 1, 2007 - Who would have thought that this day would come? (http://ps3.ign.com/articles/758/758760p2.html) Sony Computer Entertainment and Immersion announced today that both companies have agreed to put an end to their ongoing legal dispute and enter into a business agreement to incorporate Immersion's patented force feedback technology into future "PlayStation format products." Whether this means that the technology will be incorporated in future versions of the PlayStation 3's Sixaxis controller is still unclear, although what other "PlayStation format products" could they be talking about?

"We are pleased to have put this litigation behind us," said Immersion CEO Victor Viegas. "Our new business agreement with Sony Computer Entertainment is specifically intended to enable advanced vibration capability for the benefit of the PlayStation gaming community. We are happy to provide our technology in this regard and hope to make technical proposals very soon with respect to use of our technology in the PlayStation products."

As part of the agreement reached between the two companies, Immersion will be granted the full amount dictated by the District Court -- this includes damages, pre-judgment interest, and legal fees. The agreement also provides Sony with expanded rights with respect to Immersion's patents. No additional financial details were revealed, but it is expected that the termination of the litigation will have no material impact on Sony's consolidated earnings forecast announced on January 30, 2007.

"We look forward to exploring with Immersion exciting new ways to bring the largest and best range of gameplay experiences to our customers," said Kazuo "Kaz" Hirai, of Sony Computer Entertainment. "We are very excited about our new partnership with Immersion and the potential for new and innovative products incorporating their technologies."

SIXAXIS rumble coming soon :aurora:

freja

03-05-2007, 07:33 PM

Basically, Immersion owned the patents to force feedback technology on video game controls or something. They sued Sony for use in the Dual Shock line of controllers, which is why Sony's Sixaxis controller on the PS3 comes with no force feedback capabilities.

This means that now that the legal mumbo-jumbo is behind them, future Sony controllers for the PS3 can rumble yet again!

I enjoy the rumble features, but I usually leave it off to conserve battery life on my wireless controller. I'd probably do the same for the PS3 if it came down to it again.

But if we're wired, then I'd have rumbling on.

Zumi

03-06-2007, 04:30 AM

Immersion is more of a patent troll then anything. They weren't even doing stuff related to videogames before they decied to sue Sony and Microsoft. Since before they developed technology related to. Seemed like they just wanted to cash in.

Sony really didn't offically announce they were going to have a controler with rumble for PS3, its just they settled that PS2 case.

In wireless controlers the rumble really does kill the battery life. I might 4 maybe 5 hours on my xbox360 controller before I have to plug it in to recharge it.

I don't even like it and turn it off a lot cuase sometimes I find it annoying. It really hurts your hands on some games if it rumbles too much.

March 8, 2007 - Speaking at a Sony bloggers' pow wow, Phil Harrison offered a very candid response to concerns that PS3 doesn't have enough third-party exclusives. When asked if it was concerning that a game such as Grand Theft Auto IV (http://ps3.ign.com/objects/793/793799.html) was being released simultaneously on PS3 and Xbox 360, Harrison did not appear worried.

He stressed that third-party exclusives would come in good time. The newly-announced PlayStation Edge toolset is expected to help ease development for PS3, particularly for cross-platform titles. Titles using PS Edge could come as early as this fall, because the tools are "simple to implement."

As for losing GTA IV, Harrison said that the PlayStation 3 was not suitable to be the exclusive home of Rockstar's upcoming title. "I don't think PS3 has the install base to support Rockstar's investment in GTA IV on its own," Harrison told the assembled bloggers. The first next-gen Grand Theft Auto game likely cost Rockstar considerable money and development time. That being such, it couldn't have sold enough copies on PS3 alone to make exclusivity worthwhile. In the future, as the number of PS3s in homes grows, it should become easier to nab major exclusives.

good move. from what i've heard developing for the ps3 isn't ver yeasy so this should make developers lives easier

They finally made an official announcement that devil may cry 4 is coming to xbox 360. Same for Ace Combat 6. MS is going after MGS and Final Fantasy as well, and with Square licensing the Unreal Engine, it seems like a possibility.

Only draw for me to PS would be JP RPGs, but with Blue Dragon and Lost Odyssey on the way to xbox 360 exclusivity, that isnt much of a concern to me.

Slowing losing any reason at all to buy a PS3.

Lefiel

03-21-2007, 11:05 AM

honestly, there isnt a reason now. since microsoft released specs on the new 360 there isnt a real clear-cut reason to have a ps3. everything is coming out on both systems cept for a couple things. still doesnt mean im not happy i got a ps3(not that any1 said i wasnt). i am much more confident knowing that mgs4 was meant to come out on the ps3 rather than 360. if ppl want to take a gamble and hope it comes out for ps3 be my guest. i just chose the system it was supposed to come out for rather than the one it might come out for.

that being said the ps3 is only about 6 months old and the ps2 has been around almost 7 years haha. so dont start jumping ship cuz all the early games for ps3 are coming out on 360. theres still a LOT of years left in it.

Someone was just telling me they are making a new34 360 with 120gig Hard-drive, HDMI, some other neato stuff (black too) http://techreport.com/onearticle.x/12072

At 479$ (plus the extra ~150$ for the HD drive) that's more than a PS3.

If it ends up being that there is no difference between the two systems game-wise, just wait to see which media Format comes on top, HD or Blu-ray.

Vivec

03-21-2007, 02:07 PM

I think its time sony start paying people to stay exclusive. XD Its sad, but sony has only made it this far on exclusive third party games. Other than gran turismo there's nothing that a 1st/2nd party company makes for sony that I can think of as an exclusive great game.

As long as they hold only FF and MGS they might be ok. If they lose those... Sadly I'm gonna have to join the list of naysayers for Ps3. They really need something to seperate themselves, and FAST.

Lefiel

03-21-2007, 02:59 PM

you still have to drop $200 on an HD DVD player(which is being outsold by Blu-Ray) which is standard on the ps3 regardless of version and there was an article on gamespot saying the ps3 might lower its price this year. you can also upgrade the HD on the ps3. all that standard tho(minus HD DVD player) is pretty goddamn hot.

I would hardly say Gears of War is the only good exclusive...

Especially if we are talking about games to come.

Halo 3, Fable 2, Crackdown, Kane and Lynch, Forza, Mass Effect, GRAW, Blue Dragon, Lost Odyssey....

What does PS3 have? Resistance?

God of War 3 which maybe has begun pre-production? Cool, so i can buy a PS3 for $600 for one game maybe sometime in Q4 2008 (more like 2009)?

Especially with FF and MGS leaning towards multi-platform?

Still not convinced. and to think i used to be a sony fanboy.

Lefiel

03-23-2007, 07:38 AM

resistance nvr was meant to be a game you'd wanna drop 600 dollars just to play. i dont think crackdown is a game ppl would want to drop 400 dollars for just to play either Q_p. a lotta ppl ive talked to say they just bought it got the halo beta and traded it back in and key the beta key. halo 3 is worth w/e price microsoft wants to put on the 360 short of 1K but only game sony has like halo is god of war and its not gonna be out anytime soon for ps3 but the ps3 isnt half as old as the xbox 360 tho. 360 didnt rly get going with its games honestly till gears of war. the rest were just the same old xbox games just looking btr. same with ps3 they wont get going till 1yr in cuz all these games now arent all that impressive. fuck i have 3 ps3 games oblivion, resistance, and mobile suit gundam crossfire(yea i bout it big whoop wanna fight about it?). guess which one can run at 1080i ? oblivion ? nop. resistance ? no sir. CROSSFIRE LOLZ. the game with the worst reviews of all ps3 games runs on 1080i gg sony gg.

03-23-2007, 07:56 AM

Well, thats sort of the thing about 360 I love: the fact that i am dont need to look for one game that makes me feel like my money was well spent.

Crackdown is definitely not a reason to own an Xbox. It is a great game, but if you play it through, there really isnt much replay value. I am hoping this is fixed by downloadable content.

360 did have a bit of a rough start. Call of Duty 2 was a great game, but it was really the only great game for a while.

The library is nice now though. Call of Duty 2 (not 3 SUCKFEST), Dead Rising, Gears of War, Viva Pinata, GRAW, Tony Hawks Project 8, Rainbow 6 Vegas, Enchanted Arms, Splinter Cell, Project Gotham. I am leaving a few out, but you get the idea. A few are cross platform too.

What intrigues me about the 360, are the upcoming exclusives. Fable 2, Halo 3, Kane and Lynch, Mass Effect, Blue Dragon, Lost Oddysey, yada yada yada, youve heard it all from me enough.

Everything that drove me to want a PS3, exclusivity-wise, is now coming out for 360, or is very likely to.

Virtua Fighter, Devil May Cry 4, Resident Evil 5, Ace Combat- all no longer exclusive.

MGS and FF are all hot on the rumor mill for cross-platform.

With all this happening, and PS3 still lacking in sales, i wouldnt be suprised to see this cross-platform trend growing to some unexpected titles.

I am not saying i will never buy a ps3, i probably will q4 of this year, or sometime in 2008. That Little Big Planet or w/e the fuck game looks kinda cool, the Home thing is intriguing, and i am sure there will be some reason to get one within a year. Plus i love video games and will want all consoles Q_Q.

MGS4 is the #1 reason I'm leaning towards Ps3 at the moment. Not making a final decision til august though. If Sony were to lose MGS4's exclusivity, that would be a huge hit in my eyes.

Well, it depends on how much later it is for me. Like, if its announced to be coming out on 360 before its released on Ps3, I'll have second thoughts. If its not announced and comes out much later, I wouldn't see it as being so bad. XD

Zumi

04-02-2007, 03:44 PM

I have an Xbox360 but I been kind of dissapointed with it the only games I have are PD0, Gears of War, Burnout, halo 2 and FFXI. Theres a lot of shooters but not much of anything else. FPS don't hold my interest that long. Its like I spent $400 but don't really have much to play on it at the moment. But the same thing can be said about PS3 its funny cause I spent a lot of time playing ps2 games on my ps3, but at least its getting FF13 and MGS4. The main reason I bought a PS3 was cause its getting FF13.

Vivec

04-02-2007, 04:57 PM

Ps3 right now looks like it'd fit me the most. I'm not a big FF fan, but MGS and Gran Turismo are big. All the other games I like aren't excusives XD (NCAA/Madden, 2k basketball, GTA). 360 still looks good, but I think I'll end up like Zumi if I buy one XD

As for Wii... I don't even consider it direct competition. It has none of the sequals I want, and most of its exclusives aren't very deep. They're like shallow games that use the new gimmick controller well. Don't get me wrong, its fun, but I wouldn't spend more than $100 for that console.

thelegendarycravy

04-02-2007, 06:13 PM

I think all the systems will turn out good this generation. The Wii has some good games coming up including Super Mario Paper, Metroid, & Super Mario Galaxy. PS3 MGS4, FFXIII among others. Motorstorm is very good also (although a bit hard). And theres a lot to look forward to this year on 360 and for all platforms. Barely enough time for me to play all these good games these days... Since I own all 3 + I'm a big PC enthusiast. C&C3 Tiberium Wars has been owning me lately; And I need to pick up Shivering Isles expansion for Oblivion Q_Q But tomorrow GH2 for 360 and then next week Super Paper Mario.

I bought Earth Defense Force for shits and giggles.

It is the simplest and dumbest game i have probably ever played... so i love it.

Comin home from work late and playing something mind numbingly stupid is great.

Kojima did mention awhile back that he wasnt gonna do MGS for 360, but i heard from the same sources that said DMC and Virtua Fighter would be on 360 (long before it was announced), that it would. Either way, even if it doesnt launch on 360, you will see a 6 month exclusive. I can wait.

My friend bought a PS3 and traded it in for a wii a week later, with no regrets. He played resistance a few times, but said it wasnt worth it. I cant bring myself to waste the money now.

Although PSP price just dropped to 169, and Disgaea port for it was announced... so i jsut may go balls deep in that.

If you get a PSP with firmware 3.03 or less you can install a custom firmware on it that will let you play ps1 games even the ones from your own collection, and a bunch of different emulators and run psp games from the memory stick too.

Boner

04-04-2007, 07:00 AM

We just do not know what is going on with Sony these days. The PS3 has such potential if Sony would stop pushing it on everyone and focus on getting those games out. Be that as it may, Phil Harrison apparently tried to take over a rock concert for an impromptu auction of a PS3. Well, needless to say, no one offered anything over Phil's starting bid of 600. The one poor concert goer who actually did bid the starting price apparently then begged anyone else to outbid him. You can read the main gist of it below.

"In total, the PS3 received one bid, for the 600 euro starting price (“The price it’ll be in UK shops”, he kindly reminded everyone) – less than the t-shirt. Even then the sole bidder clearly regretted his purchase (which he only made on the promise that the console would be signed), for he spent a minute or so bellowing like a lunatic at his fellow audience members, urging them to pick up the bidding baton, and save him from his regrettable impulse purchase: “Somebody bid! It’s only a hundred quid per autograph! Please?! Why? Why? Why?”."

(Copy/Paste from Gamersreports.com)

That is so sad. Also read that PS3 sales in UK dropped ~82%, the second week of launch.

I like what they said up there about focusing on getting games out instead of pushing the system. Would be nice if Sony got their heads out of their asses.

I got NDSL and PSP, as far as those systems go they dont get played much beside on subway rides. 360 has crazy games if u ask me, that i dont get time to play my portables at home. I was considering buying a ps3 once school is done but there was just recent news released of a new standard for blue ray and that all the old ps3s will be affected... so im not geting one lol

(BTW, having an old version psp is good idea... just like having an R4 for DS:))

Halon50

04-05-2007, 03:35 AM

The only thing the "new standard" for Blu-Ray (it's essentially a Java update) means for current PS3 users is a downloadable system software update. It's the people who bought standalone Blu-Ray players (is there such a thing?) with no network capability that'll have problems, but computer-savvy tech writers speculate there will be a separate disc released to update standalone players.

Zumi

04-05-2007, 05:08 AM

I just got a PSP today that came with 2.71, so i downgraded it to 1.5 then I installed the custom firmware 3.10 OE-A. Its really easy to install you have to be an idiot to brick your PSP, that or you can't follow some simple directions. So now it will play PSP ISOs from memory stick, PS1 games, and all lots of emulators like snes, nes, ect. I installed castlevania sotn on my PSP already. Took forever to find a program that would rip a PS1 disc correctly.

Boy, the PS3 sure isn't lasting very long in the latest console war... they just dropped the 20gb SKU from their product offering.

http://www.dailytech.com/Sony+Confirms+20GB+PS3+as+Discontinued/article6883.htm

Sounds to me like Sony's trying to make up for the fact that nobody's buying their consoles.

Has nothing to do with not lasting. They should've just been a little smarter and not even made the 20-gig'er to begin with. Everyone that wanted a PS3 went for the 60gig so. Over-all if in the end all people start doing is measuring Hard-drive size as the difference between the two systems I'm going to laugh. "Oh look lemme whip out my dick now, get the tape measure!"

its like microsoft releasing a 360 w/o the hard drive. what point is there when you need it to play online and do xbox live which they say is so gd great and cures cancer n shit ? "hay they can just use memory cards to save" that tiny memory card is a joke. 64mb isnt gonna much. eventually microsoft will do what sony is and stop wasting material, manpower, and money on this crap. if you dont have the money for a 360 core or 60gig ps3 then keep saving. shit! >:O

Trynn

04-11-2007, 04:41 PM

I dunno if I agree with that. I mean, MS is still selling the 360 basic package, even though that's essentially a waste of money and anyone with sense gets the premium package. Likewise, it took Sony a few years to finally stop selling the PS2 network adapter and HD, despite the fact that only 2 games used them, and the HD size was anemic by the time it was finally discontinued. Nintendo still makes GBAs, even though most GBA games can be played on a DS, and game development is more active on the DS front.

I see this as purely a move by Sony to stem their money loss on PS3s. Reducing to one SKU cuts a decent amount of production overhead, as well as reduces the amount of inventory out in retail, so Sony can start saying "We've got system shortages again! See? We really are selling a lot". It's a cost reduction excercise and a marketing campaign in one!

Lefiel

04-11-2007, 04:44 PM

it was a bad move to begin with even having a 20 gig, wireless-less, flash port-less, basically a $500 black 360 that doesnt play 360 games, in the first place. all the stuff that say you can do with a ps3 was done or meant to be done on a 60gig.

Sykes

04-11-2007, 05:32 PM

Theres a reason for the Xbox360 core system I didn't see it before but I do now. Xbox360 has a high failure rate, the 3 red lights or ring of death whatever you want to call it. If your 360 brakes out of warantey you can just get the cheap core version to replace it, cuase you will already have a hard drive and wireless controller. I wish there was a bigger 360 HD I only have 3.8 GB left on my 360.

If anyone has a 360 and wants to play with me my Gamertag is Zumi81. I should be getting one of those online play cards soon as I find one. I need some more people on my friend list.

I got the 60GB playstation 3 cuase I love having Wifi. Only have 36 GB left even at 60GB that hard drive is sort of small. My PS3 ID is Zumi81 also if you have PS3 and want to add me.

I only bought Zelda, but the Virtual Console and other features add quite a bit to the console.

Its definitely a good buy, for $250.

You can always grab a USB Bluetooth Adapter separately (I recommend this one (http://www.amazon.com/Anycom-USB-250-Bluetooth-Broadcom-Chip/dp/B000BVM8BW/ref=pd_bbs_sr_1/002-6875058-3096057?ie=UTF8&s=electronics&qid=1179292335&sr=8-1)) if that is a huge issue for you, but the adapter will probably run you as much as the headset. You have to be careful though ... most headsets can't be paired to more than one device at once, so you would have to unpair and repair any time you wanted to switch between a cell phone and a computer, etc., blah blah

Lol at the Halo 3 beta that was suppose to start today. Everyone that bought Crackdown for the Halo 3 beta is really pissed now. MS had problems with the download in fact nobody with Crackdown can download the halo 3 beta yet. MS's and bungie's fourms how have all these angry halo fans posting stuff. MS seems to not be giving out any news when they are going to fix their problems.

I wonder what they going to do when they fix it cuase 600k+ more people trying to download a 1.2GB file from their servers probably won't go so well.

Dude, some of those posts were pathetic.

A lot of people said they had called out of work/school, just so they could play the beta as soon as it was available.

One guy had the gaul to post that he called out of work to play, and microsoft "rewards" him with staring at the Crackdown screen. (Like he should be rewarded for failing at life.)

One pathetic little shit said HE MADE HIMSELF VOMIT, so that his mother wouldn't make him go to school, because he HAD to play before his friends did.... (Psychosis apparently sets in early these days...)

A lot of people stated that they had wasted $60, which tells me these pathetic shits bought Crackdown JUST for the beta.... $60 for a beta? Oops, you suck at life.

Speaking of PWNED. http://kotaku.com/gaming/oh-snap/playstation-biz-almost-posted-2-billion-loss-260809.php

Yeah I read the forecast and the official release yesterday. Seems like it was expected all along, and even though Sony warned they weren't selling as many consoles as they'd hoped, business still turned out better than planned.

I personally don't care either way. Sony fanboys say "yeah this happens every new PS console release." Sony haters say "See? Look! Sony's going down the drain (again)!" To me, it's just business as usual; PS3 has few games out for it, but this will change as devs finally quit supporting the PS2 and move on. Xbox has those weird mechanical problems and a huge power brick (wtf). Wii is, well, haha who'd want to play an FPS on the Wii; but it's still got a decent market niche.

i never do click on the thread, but hitting f5 on a forum to see if there's any useful posts from people who ACTUALLY PLAY FFXI and ending up with some crap like this is annoying. I posted that as a sarcastic comment, jesus you took it personally lol.

Saying you were being sarcastic after you reiterate your point doesn't seem sincere. I don't play FFXI anymore, though, so my logic is most likely flawed here.:rolleyes:

Either way, I still love you.

add me on PSN network... ill play motorstorm or resistance... i also have fight night round 3 but i blow at it. also halo 3 beta is alright, its fun and i havent met any fags on it. both gamertag and psn my name is: cravy

ALSO

UMK3 for 360 or MK2 for PS3 OK.

With realization that it is a beta, i still am a bit dissapointed. It just seems like Halo 2 with more weapons. The spartan laser and bubble shields are annoying as shit. So far i havent meant any fags either. Whether or not that will last, who knows (i doubt it.)

Lefiel

05-18-2007, 08:08 PM

i talked to a couple ppl that play the beta and they said the weapons feel a lot btr. smgs arent as weak and needlers are a lot more powerful, so much so that you cant dual wield em anymore. they said everything sounds and looks(obviously) a lot btr. you can like hear ppl gettin into firefights with dudes across the map and it sounded hot they said.

metroid prime 3 has a release date and you can pre-order at at eb games which means i have a gd reason to get a wii now.

I bought Metroid Prime 1 for Gamecube, didn't really like it much. They shouldn't of made it into a FPS. It not really made by the same devs now anyway that made the classic SNES Metroid.

thelegendarycravy

05-20-2007, 04:54 PM

I think the most disappointing thing about the beta are the graphics... they don't even seem that next-gen like all the movies they were showing... That laser weapon shit is overpowered too.

this thread has been about console games for the most part, but there is on pc game coming out that has the potential to rly stick its foot up sum asses. thats Crysis. if you havent heard of it then check out this link. (http://www.gamespot.com/pc/action/crysis/index.html) thatll get you up to speed, and wtf rock have YOU been under if you aint heard bout this jc! ANYWAYS the developer for it, crytek, same dudes that did farcry said that this wouldnt get ported to consoles cuz they just cant hack it. WELL apparently crytek is looking for ps3 programmers! (http://kotaku.com/gaming/top/wanted-programmer-for-crysis-ps3-port-252761.php) of course this easily could have nothing to do with the game. could be a completely new game just with cryengine 2.0. or crysis. they of course deny there is any ps3 project at all. so i dunno! anyways heres video of crysis multiplayer->PRE-ALPHA<- LOLZ! hot nano-suit-on-nano-suit AKSHUN (http://kotaku.com/gaming/wheres-the-jungle%3F/crysis-multiplayer-madness-259592.php)

I picked up my first bluray movie last night (Apocolypto.)

Jesus titty fucking Christ, the picture quality is amazing.

LAF, if you don't have an HDTV you must start saving for one IMMEDIATELY. The colors and clarity are rediculous. I might even pick up movies i never considered watching, just because they are on bluray.

I havent had the chance to watch anything on HD DVD, but i doubt there is much of a noticeable difference, if any.

ANYWAY

Bluray= the shit

Scytale

05-31-2007, 11:06 AM

Bluray and HD-DVD (the way I've heard it explained) are both "Blue Laser" technology, it's the location of the laser and how it reads that makes the difference. I think the data quality for both is probably not much different so IF the same movie was released on Blu and HD you couldn't tell the difference.

Not PS3/360 related:

There's a really cool stand-alone player out now:

http://www.bestbuy.com/site/olspage.jsp?skuId=8203311&type=product&productCategoryId=pcmcat113700050010&id=1165610378688

It's dual Blu/HD-DVD with DVD up-scale conversion. Basically the best there is hands-down. Problem is it runs for $1,200.

Will the movie format war hurt or help one of the game systems? Meh hard to say. It just seems logical to me if movies on both HD-DVD and Blu-ray are EXACTLY the same, but blu-ray can hold more...why wouldn't you go with that format?

I hate it that there are movies out there I REALLY want, or are coming out, but are like only on HD-DVD. (Like the new Matrix box-set)...so I hope more companies start doing dual release like:

A day in the life of me:

"God, work fucking sucks and I hate this shit. Wish I was doing something else. I know, I'll check out the BC forums for a pleasant distraction from this hellish reality."

I surf on over to the forums hoping to find some precious gem of semi-interesting content to ease the pain of being a gear in the machine. I get to the front page and notice "New Posts: 1" on the left hand side.

"Yes, there's a new post, hope is here! I may indeed find something interesting to make this horrific time pass more quickly!"

With haste, I move my mouse over to the "New Posts" link at the top of the page and click it. The page begins to load and I become anxious to read what topic awaits me. "What could this new post be? Might it be new info about the upcoming patch? Perhaps there's some sweet HNM drama?" NO!

Was it a trainwreck?

PS3 vs. XBox 360 vs. Wii

The ultimate champion of blue-baller threads! The ultimate possible disappointing result of clicking "New Posts"! The one thread that will not die! Worse than a cockroach who's been living off of the oil from my fingerprint for the last three weeks! There is only one remaining option for safety:

Oh you can tell 1080i and 1080p apart real easy. Thats like comparing the worst HD resolution to the best. Until you actually see 1080p you won't belive how much better it looks. I was the same way thinking it probably isn't much better.

I didn't really belive that HD was all that good but I played some games when my brother brought one over and it makes a ton of difference. Blu Ray movies actually like so much better then regular DVDs. Allthough they are still super expensive for a 1080p TV. I won't be getting one anytime soon.

Lefiel

05-31-2007, 09:03 PM

it was one of them resolutions that sum1 said you cant tell apart or sum CRIZZAP.

Scytale

05-31-2007, 09:14 PM

progressive scan should look different. What I remember Sykes saying with for 1080i you shouldn't notice any difference in using HDMI or Component cables because of the data rate transfer. Now for 1080p HDMI is the way to go.

I can't justify getting a new tv yet cause the only one I want is that 70" Sony Bravia which is like 6k, not easy money to come by.

Spore was delayed till like 2009 heh.

On another note a 1080p TV can be had for about $1200 with no TV tuner in it (to watch cable). Thats how much mine was for a 42" LCD with 1080p, it has 1 1080p DVI, regular DVI, 2 component, 1 rca, 1 s-video, 1 vga, and hdmi. Really good TV.

I hope they show off more Killzone 2 this E3 ;; And right now I have like 15 games preordered at Gamestop... including the Rock Band bundle and Guitar Hero 3.... I hate myself /slice

RE4 is fucking amazing with the wii remote... makes me kinda wish I didnt buy it for gamecube now lol.

Mario Party 8 is.... well mario party I guess. I only find it fun with 3-4 people. Heh

...... anyone picking up, or did pick up Rainbow Six for PS3? I own it for 360, but I need a decent online game besides resistance and was hoping this would be good (minus the 40,000,000 delays)

This is what will decide the Wii's fate. At first i was a bit concerned that the Wii would slowing die off because it would just keep whoring out Mini-game centric games (Rayman, Wii sports, cooking mama, mario party, wario ware, etc.) While they are definitely fun, they will wear thin as time goes on. Theres only so many time you can furiously shake the wii mote before it gets old.

Seeing Resident Evil in action has showed the diverse potential of the Wii. If more FPS games are released with this tight of a response from the wiimote, i could easily see Wii becoming the best system for shooters (i even find it more responsive than keyboard and mouse.)

I am excited to see what the Wii will be doing in the next year or so.
