PS3 - It Only Does Everything?

From HDWarriors.com:

Along with a recent price drop, Sony is running an ad for it's popular PS3 console that says, "It Only Does Everything". Obviously the PS3 can't make you a sandwich, but there is some truth to that statement, as the console can do quite alot.

All it is is a list of things the PS3 can do, which we've all known for forever now.

It can fall in style (if you throw it out a window)

It can go to outer space (if you put it in a space shuttle)

It can turn the xbox 360 into a PS3 holder (just put it on top of it)

It can even make a sandwhich (if you do alot of modding that is)

not to mention it has the best games, free online service, can play blu-ray, has dynamic themes, best first/second party support and so much more i could go on naming every amazing feature but id rather just go and play it

RememberThe3576091d ago

but I don't want my 360 to over heat. That thing has been acting up too much lately I'm trying to bide my time so I can at least get through ODST, and god willing Mass Effect 2. After that I'm good. :)

WildArmed6091d ago

Mass effect 2 <3
stopped playing 360 in wait for mass effect 2 and Fable 3.
Rather not take the chance. Plus, I'm done with games since college is here. It can wait for awhile. Till then PSP Go <3. perfect for on the go entertainment

PLAYINB3YOND6091d ago

My PS3 can do everything I ever wanted it to, even cook a steak ;)

N4GAddict6091d ago

My ps3 tells me bed time stories.

Shadow Flare6091d ago

The only thing it can't do is visit the repair factory twice in the same month

evrfighter6091d ago (Edited 6091d ago )

That blows. My newly bought ps3's only role so far is just to play movies. I tried out Motorstorm and Cod4 and had to hook my pc back up. My eyes wanted to vomit.

It's gonna take some getting used to if I wanna play on a console.

It's like forcing yourself to be the guy with one leg in an a$$ kicking contest.

Tachyon_Nova6091d ago (Edited 6091d ago )

Pity it can't play PS2 games though. Havign said that, there are easily enough good PS3 games to keep me busy.

WildArmed6091d ago

@1.6
lmfao.
Ok, here's something just for you...
try changing the setting on your ps3 to make sure you checked the HDTV output upto 1080p.. not just 480i -.-

Its ok, people do that all the time >.> After reading you comment, it became very clear that this was clearly the issue.

vagisil6091d ago (Edited 6091d ago )

my new ps3 bought in april has given me more problems than my 360 i bought new as well last july.(2008) please define "acting up" because if that means freezing up and sh1t, i am sorry, ps3 ,"acts up" more.

i smell BS from ya "post"

Syronicus6091d ago

I have a pretty current rig and can tell you that if the PS3 makes your eyes vomit, then you need to remove the fanboy glasses. The graphics on the PS3 are very close to the custom rig, not entirely but close enough to save hundreds of dollars for those who cannot afford a 1000 dollar gaming rig.

ultimolu6091d ago

It also plays my beloved Onimusha: Dawn of Dreams. :D

Well, if you have BC that is. n_n

ATY6091d ago

"I have a pretty current rig"

Don't PC gamers have any clue as to what a retard they sound like when they call their computer a 'rig'?

evrfighter6091d ago (Edited 6091d ago )

force AAx8 AFx16 on your current setup and then come back and say that with a straight face. Since you have a "current rig" I'm wondering.

MW2 being 720p and probably nil Anti Aliasing. Why would someone with a pc that will be able to run it at 1080p native, max AA, max AF, and 100+ fps want to play it on a console? (mind you I have the option of using a 360 wireless controller but controllers blow for fps games. So the kickin back on the couch bit doesn't apply here)

This doesn't necessarily mean just me. BUT...

Why is it when a 360 exclusive is announced nearly all ps3 fanboys have a gaming pc. Since this is so often the case why force yourselves to play the gimped version of MW2? Surely you REALLY DO have gaming pc's right?

You can also use the ps3 controller on the pc btw with a simple driver install. Unlike the 360 controller the ps3 controller doesn't even require a receiver to work

Sarcasm6091d ago

"Why would someone with a pc that will be able to run it at 1080p native, max AA, max AF, and 100+ fps want to play it on a console?"

Ah the old Console vs PC argument again.

At least it's not as bloody as 360 vs PS3.

Anyway, I have a PC that played COD4 Max everything in 1920x1080 resolution. But I played on the PS3 version anyway.

Why?

7.1 Surround sound fills up my whole room, the controller, my 46" Samsung, and best of all, in the comfort of my own bed.

Or I can geek it out and sit on my computer desk and do it old school KB & mouse style.

But you know, that's an option. Not everybody cares about "OMG super insane PC graphics!!!" all the time. The gameplay is what really counts. And to be able to do it without worrying about no PC requirements as well as play it on their entertainment center, is why MILLIONS of people buy consoles.

Syronicus6091d ago (Edited 6091d ago )

AMD Phenom II X4 945 3.0GHz
EVGA 896-P3-1170-AR GeForce GTX 275
Antec TruePower 750W PS
Antec 1200 Case
Corsair 4GB DDR3 RAM
ASUS M4A78T-E ATX Motherboard

Even prior to OC, the rig I have here could push every game I threw at it on full settings. The only game that game me trouble was Crysis towards the end but it ran the majority of the game on it's high settings. As for calling it a rig, that is what it is. It's an Antec 1200 for god sakes.

As I said, the PS3 games I play on my 47" 1080p HDTV look very good and when you compare games like Killzone 2 and Uncharted to games like Dead Space and Wolfenstein, they look comparable. I won't say they look as good but there is no doubt that spending 1000 bucks on a rig like the one I have listed above will give you an edge in graphics but not enough to write home about when it comes to comparing to a 300 dollar console.

Oh, and why play COD on my PS3 rather than on my rig? Because the majority of those I play games with are not into PC's like I am. I build my own and have but two friends that do the same so I play more single player games on my PC and play COD on my PS3. Heck, the majority of my time spent ont he PS3 is for COD4 at the moment and will change when MW2 comes out.

Lifendz6091d ago

but still wish they emphasized that online is free rather than the machine is capable of getting online.

But still, the ads are funny and straight to the point. Finally.

Here's to an interesting holiday season.

6091d ago
Lifendz6091d ago (Edited 6091d ago )

I don't get people like you. Unless all you rabid 360 fanboys are the same guy, I don't get why you so vehemently hate the PS3. Is it that you wanted one when it first came out but couldn't afford the price tag? Is it because you see games like Uncharted 2 and Killzone 2 and know that the games will only get better for PS3? What is it?

I'm sorry if you bought an HD-DVD player, a Wifi adapter, and a 120gb hdd separately for your 360. Really I am. But don't be made that I got all those features (and the hd dvd format isn't dead) in my system for less than you paid to buy all of those separately.

Arnon6091d ago

Or you could just.. hook your PC to your TV and use a 360 or PS3 controller and just completely (once again) obliterate consoles.

paul03886091d ago

I agree completely.

And I actually like the ad a lot. It seems like they're new ad campaign is much different and much better! It made me laugh and I'm selling my PS3 60GB so I can buy a Slim.

Go Sony!

Marceles6091d ago

Seriously? A one legged man in an ass-kicking contest? Either you're 13 yrs. old that just heard that lame Rodney Dangerfield joke and think it's clever, or you're 40 and haven't gotten away from past....either way you might as well add a "why did the chicken cross the road? to run away from the PS3!!" lame ass joke in there as well.

evrfighter6091d ago

"Seriously? A one legged man in an ass-kicking contest? Either you're 13 yrs. old that just heard that lame Rodney Dangerfield joke and think it's clever, or you're 40 and haven't gotten away from past"

One dirty little word that never gets mentioned when it comes to singing the PS3's multimedia praises is...piracy. I can download full length movies directly from the internet onto the xmb, also the ability to copy direct from USB based devices is a great bonus. Am I correct in believing that only music from CD can be ripped onto the 360 HD?

WildArmed6091d ago

Not sure. I never got the music working on 360. Either way, games have great soundtracks now so I never minded. but I do love downloading videos right to the xmb n playing em. Being an anime-fan, it comes in handy ^^

N4GAddict6091d ago

You can also use the ps3 to stream videos via the web browser.

Just_Logic6091d ago

It's even cooler when you setup a PS3Mediaserver on you PC, then you can just keep all your movies on the PC and play them back on the PS3.

I've encoded tons of movies and just play them this way and we like it so much I got a second PS3 mainly to use it as a media player that just happens to play games and blu-ray movies too.

Also, I got playon a few months back and have to say that it is awesome, NetFlix is not on that other console anymore, with Playon you can play NetFlix, Hulu. Amazon VoD, CBS, Youtube plus tons of plugins... I added NFL, NBA, Gametrailers. SpikeTV, plus tons of others.... including Crackle.com plus animate.

The cool thing is that once you buy it, you are done and all upgrades are free... I can see me cancelling CableTV in the near future...

N4GAddict6091d ago

the most important ps3 function: help cure cancer.

x-bob6091d ago

believe that some people take that " it does everything" for real..

Xbox fans and ps3 fans... ya both of you

Foliage6091d ago

I have got to say, this beats the 360 slogan campaign hands down.

PS3: It only does everything.
360: It only does some things 45.8% of the time.

GamerForever6091d ago

The most important thing that it does is that it FAILS lol. Google up ps3 slim problems and see for yourself what the crowd has to say.

Example: I have a launch ps3 and i buy new ps3 with 120gb can i swap HDD for my game files

Answer = No it simply cant be done you just have to move on and start playin games on new model unlike xbox.

Sony you continue to fail miserably each passing day.

Tachyon_Nova6091d ago (Edited 6091d ago )

Actually you can, you jsut have to manually transfer the game safe data from the old ones HDD to the slims. This must be done via PC, but its seriously easy, I've done it myself :)

EDIT @ CBaoth: I know that you can backup using a USB direct from the PS3, I do it at least every 2nd month. But some people had trouble getting the data from the backup file onto the Slims HDD, and my way is a simple work-around.

CBaoth6091d ago

clearly you're trolling, but to anyone that's wondering you simply use a USB stick to back up save files (you should be doing this anyway to prevent a YLOD fiasco or in case you do a HDD upgrade). Then transfer said game saves to new model. Yes you have to re-install game data, but who cares. Game files that don't backup I've generally found keep your save data on their servers anyway.

This should be a reply to your 5.0 post because Tachyon answered your 4.0.

Biphter6091d ago

You simply have to backup your old PS3 content to A USB HDD. Its in the User Manual how to do this (Althought its that easy to figure out, you almost don't need the manual).

I just bought PS3 Slim and did exactly this process lastnight. I did full backup though as I have shed loads of MP3´s and photos/videos. 4 Hours later I have my PS3 slim just as my old PS3 phat was. AND I swapped out my 320 Gig in a snap at the same time. It is true however that Game installs updates etc don't transfer across, but all you have to do is log into PSN, go to the store and browse stuff you've paid for and redownload. No biggie, I'm just going to do this as and when I want to play.

So how do you do this again on Xbox 360?? ;)

IDetonation6091d ago

Ummmm.
Switch your hard drive from 360 to 360. Same as Ps3.
Wow, thats hardddd.
An idiot would know that.
Judging from your avatar though, i have my doubts.

tristanmike6091d ago

That there is plenty of content that will not carry over to a DIFFERENT PS3, right ? ie. Saves.

Look I know VIII has its issues and all that but how on earth can the do big anniversary events with new artwork and merchandise for VII, IX and X yet VIII got sweet f*** all.

They could have given it something during its 25th anniversary yet all it got was a single Happy Anniversary post on their social media.

solideagle8d ago

they should know that we are OG fans of VIII as it sold truckload as well. not as much as VII or X. I personally didn't like IX but X and VI are my personal fav.

Shadow Hearts 2 covenant is another game I love. I hope one day someone can make remake, I would be delighted

PlayStation legend Shuhei Yoshida says Jim Ryan fired him because he didn't listen to him

Why did Sony push Shuhei Yoshida out of his role leading PlayStation's first-party games? He'd overseen some huge successes. Well, apparently, he didn't listen.

S2Killinit16d ago (Edited 16d ago )

Wtf why all that anger. PlayStation is dominating on every level. Besides I think there is a little more to hiring a CEO than just who is available. Its not like its a athlete your team wants to buy.

neutralgamer199216d ago

S2Killinit

live service failures, chasing trends, closing studios. yes dominating

Cacabunga16d ago

Sony is Dominating because competition is not existing. Compared to previous gens this is the poorest in terms of software offerings.

Last gen we got Uncharted 4 Lost Legacy and TLOU2 from ND alone.

This is so far a remasters gen, with no competition to lift up the quality

1nsomniac16d ago (Edited 16d ago )

..."PlayStation is dominating on every level"....

...Really???

PlayStation are soon heading into a new generation in the not to distant future. They currently have the worst customer satisfaction they've ever sustained as a company. The company is heading for a huge crash while at the same time they'll need to be planning how they are going to try and win back that favour and the build up to their new releases.

Yes financially they're winning but they're going to have to ride out this complete public corporate disaster. No one has faith in the company or the product anymore. They've damaged their public image so much this generation. Greed can kill anyone.

Hulst is a disaster......

He would've done the same thing and fire Jim Ryan and Shuhei would be the villain. Why?
Because Elite creates the narrative and distraction for gamers, users and citizens.

Outside_ofthe_Box17d ago

More confirmation that Jim Ryan is the culprit for what has happened to Sony. Hulst needs to go too. What sucks is that a lot of the good top heads at Sony are no longer there. I wish that guys that were forced out prematurely by Dumbo Jimbo like Shuhei and Layden came back.

robtion16d ago

Yep. Yoshida was responsible for bringing one of the best games of this generation to playstation (Stellar Blade). He is an actual gamer and is in touch with what gamers want (creative, fun games, not GaaS and agenda pushing). He also seems like a genuinely nice guy if you watch some interviews. Of course they got rid of him.

darthv7217d ago

Makes you wonder if MS even thought about hiring him after Phil and Sarah were leaving. He certainly couldn't make their situation any worse.

Agent7516d ago

Microflop. After Windows XP and Xbox 360, it all went floppy.

S2Killinit16d ago

Floppy 😆
No pun intended

badz14917d ago

Yoshida for President! Jim Ryan was and always be a hack! Sony should get Shu back

Lightning7717d ago

All the gamer/consumer lead heads are gone across PS and Xbox. shuhei gone phil's gone (questionable) but gone. The future of gaming is somewhat uncertain across the board.
