It seems gamers aren't the only people excited about Sony's cheaper 40GB PlayStation 3 as UK retail store GAME has recently given its stamp of approval.

And why aren't there more positive articles like this bout the price cut Sony made...?

ATLRoAcH6806d ago

A good question Denim Dan.Probably the large 360 fanbase here on N4G.

xplosneer6806d ago

Seems as if only Xbox 360 fans are mad about no B/C.(No Offense)

Chris_GTR16806d ago (Edited 6806d ago )

lol. does it matter if theres any good articles for the ps3? will it make you feel better about your purchase? your screwd anyways so what game says dosent matter.

ATLRoAcH6806d ago

And I never wanted a 360 or a wii.No offense they're just not my shot of Hen.

Screwed? How, you would have to be blind or ignorant(or both)to not see the PS3 has a future.Luckily I'm a patient man so I can wait for good games.

Chris_GTR16806d ago

well i had a ps2 and ps1. ps3 is just too expensive. the only reason why i even got a ps2 was because of GTA games.on ps1 my favorite game was driver 1 and 2...so halo and GTA are my favorite games ever, so with gta4 and halo 3 being on 360 , its a must have console for me. all of the other ps3 ,360 games dont intrest me.. well maybe only mgs ,splintercell and masseffect

Danny Dan6806d ago (Edited 6806d ago )

And you are the type of posters in these forums/communities that just create hostility. Instead of taking a neutral approach you decide to bring drama into this.

Would it make me feel better? I would still feel the same about my favorable console than if there was no or tons of positive articles. What WOULD make me feel better is when there is a positive article, it is nowhere to be seen, and xBox/PS3 fans flock like birds when there is a negative article of the PS3 and they take that basis as the whole world..

I think the PS3 has a lot of potential, and a giant future and guys like you, who favor the XBox seem to be either highly misinformed or just to choose to be blinded... Whatever it may be, the question should be do you feel better after posting in an article like this? Do you feel like you need to be at the defense of the 360 whenever someone posts something slightly positive of the PS3? hmm... I'm here to consult, talk to me buddy

there has to be a limit to trolling

There is no way a game like HALO 3 with bland graphics and gameplay could attract consumers. In EU only the XBOTS purchased x360 and HALo 3.
what is shocking is the fact that all x360s including the 65nm falcon are 100% defective.

@danny

i completely agree with you. These BOTS although very few in numbers do realize the pounding x360 is about to get from the 40gig ps3.

ps3 is expensive????????????????????

ps3 40gig +BD player +wifi+ HDMI 1.3 costs the same as defective elite with none of the features and 50 $ per annum for useless online with 2D text achievements.

face it bots ;- X360 IS NOW FINISHED
as an FPS lover i would never pick anything over Resistance,Killzone 2 and Crysis.

@BLOODY BASTARD BOT

WE WANT A RELIABLE GAMING MACHINE NOT A CHEAP LOW POWER AND DEFECTIVE X360 WITH NO GAMES

X360S SELLING??????????????????????? ???????????????????/
where is x360 selling except NA and some parts of UK

even in UK ps3 runs neck and neck with x360 at 2x the price point.

PS3 has surpassed x360 already in places like France,belgium,middle east etc.

In JAPAN ps3 outsells x360 10:1

Blue RAY outsells HD DVD 9:1 on a worldwide basis.

that garbage box 360 is now dead officially from 10th OCTOBER

WE want a next gaming machine as well as blu-ray player.

we want GAMES AND MOVIES not GAMES or MOVIES

Chris_GTR16806d ago (Edited 6806d ago )

i dont even care. the reason why i even posted was cause of those noobs that approve this. i mean come on..."GAME excited by new PS3 model".. seriously who gives a sh*t. i would say the exact same thing if they posted "game exited over 360 arcade bundle" who the F*** gives a sh*t about this. i guess its ok to post news about ign getting exited over it and gamespot, and all those other places.

edit. @ nasim..
people dont want all that cra*p! they want a video game console! thets why there buying them.. if they wanted a blueray player they would of bought one. sony wouldnt have such horrible sales right now if they didnt put in that piece of sh*t blue ray. i honestly think ps3 would of won this gen easily withough the blueray.

a limit to trolling....?? your the biggest troll on this site, ive seen you post on a BUNCH of halo 3 news.

come on why do u keep adding in stuff about blueray beating hd dvd.. waht does that have to do with 360?? absolutely nothing! i didnt buy it, and thats what makes the 360 great. i wasnt forced to buy it like u were.
my 360 has never broken.. even if it did id rather it break and take 2 weeks to get back cause i know when i get it back theres gonna be new games out. as opposed to having a ps3 and constantly being left out of games due to constant delays and bad framerates.

BloodySinner6806d ago

We want a video game machine, not a Blu-Ray player, asshole.

xplosneer6806d ago

I respect your opinion. I like Uncharted, EOJ, and Little Big Planet, shooters are getting blander and aren't my favorite anymore.

I don't like your third comment because it's the same about Xbox 360 Halo hype, but whatever, I think this site is a neverending flamewar anyways, and I come here knowing that.

kooplar6806d ago

there has to be a limit to trolling ´´

I cant beleave u just said that

And by the way, ur fps selection is crap, resistance is mediocre ( and yes ive plaed it ), killzone 2 and crysis arent even out. Why dont u add some good ones like half life 2, HEY ITS IN THE PS3, SO UR GANA LOVE IT, but i guess it not being ps3 exclusive makes u not care and miss one of the greatest fps of all time. While ur at it, add halo to that list, not even halo 3, just halo, i would love to see you at least play it, instead of constantly bashing it, AS THE FPS LOVER U ARE.

ATLRoAcH6806d ago

Noob?Yeah I've been here since the beginning of September but I've contributed more than you and you've been here since February.And Blu-ray
suck? How? What makes DVD next gen?

Oh, and just for the record I have nothing against the 360.If you want one buy one.I'm not trying to sell PS3s here.

demolitionX6806d ago

here's the latest news, MS will have a new 360 with a floppy drive. hahahahahahahahahaha.

Chris_GTR16806d ago (Edited 6806d ago )

i have nothing against blueray or hd dvd. i just dont care about them. nasim says blueray is outselling hd dvd 9-1.. since when do gamers care about movies and brag about them? come on ..thats just sad... i know i would be really pissed if MS included anykinda expensive crap i didnt need into the 360. they keept it basic. what GAMERS want. not all this bs just to use you as pawns in a format war. thanks to u guys sony has just won the format war... they win $ percentage for EVERY blueray movie sold... instead of it being something neutral like hd dvd, all the $$ goes to sony

@xplosneer 2.12
so that makes it less bad? sony is getting money out of every blueray movie you buy. and will continue to for the next 10 years?since it just won the format war. well i guess they sacraficed one for the other.. they killed their playstation brand to make blueray win...in the end only consumers lose

xplosneer6806d ago

Sony isn't the only member in the BDA...
stop making sony seem like the only supporter of Blu Ray. they aren't.

ATLRoAcH6806d ago (Edited 6806d ago )

Just to let you know first I don't have anything against you man sorry if it seems like I'm calling you out.

But yeah Sony gets money from Blu-Ray they own it, they made it.Doesn't Toshiba get money for HD-DVD?If not there getting screwed.Don't forget movie studios like Paramount getting paid off to go HD-DVD exclusive which was a stupid and shady move.

The Blu-Ray isn't only for movies our games are Blu-Ray too. The Blu-Ray in the PS3 was meant for gaming. Sony made Blu-Ray for the PS3. Blu-Ray to me is for gaming not movies but Blu-Ray movies are good to. And the only way Blu-Ray hurt the PS3 is at launch when they couldn't get enough Blu-Ray drives and ended up with less PS3s.

And since when did the Playstation brand die.I'm beginning to think you're just hating.Why hate?

Chris_GTR16806d ago (Edited 6806d ago )

@2.15? i dunno lol
yea its cool but i really dont see gta being mutliple cds.even gta sanandreas only took up 3.14? gb on the ps2. and that game was collosal in size.im shure theyll find a way to compress gta4 onto the dvd. and dont forget the 360s dvd reads almost 2x faster than the blueray in ps3. so theres gonna be waaay less cropping and stuff like on the ps2 with gta when you drove too fast it would always happen.i think also oblivion took up 6GB for 360. dvd space isnt a constraint unless its japanese developers wich use CGI instead of gameplay cutscenes to fill it.

(new also)lol
i dunno what to answer lol.. check your pm's

(newer)
did u even check the pm's?
well ive read it a couple times... but... nothing beats a video comparison.. check this out
http://www.gametrailers.com...

the 360 finished loading by over 15 seconds b4 ps3 even got to the video

(newer than before)
alright man well im gonna turn off the pc. see ya later.

ATLRoAcH6806d ago (Edited 6806d ago )

Yeah,I feel ya a lot of games are possible on multiple discs.But what about open world games.Would you want to swap discs to go to the other side of town in say a GTA game? I wouldn't.And wouldn't cost publishers and possibly even the consumer for multiple discs?

Anyway I've enjoyed this little debate more interesting than most of them.

(new)
Yeah,But Sony needs money they got in debt just making the PS3.And maybe with the Blu-Ray money they'll support their gaming division and make one hell of a PS4.PS4 thats weird just to type after typing PS3 2000 times.

ATLRoAcH6806d ago (Edited 6806d ago )

I'm getting tired its nearly 2:00 A.M. here in Atlanta and you've run out of bubbles(I'll give ya one what the hell).
But the last thing I want know is where did you here that DVD streams faster.I read BlU-Ray streams fast as hell.

(newer)
newer thats funny yeah I'll check out the video.But I don't think the PS3 will have the draw distance issues the PS2 had no matter which streams faster I'm sure the 360 and PS3 will be okay in that area.Both are far improved upon the PS2.

I checked out the video it was faster but it was tony hawk.No two games are the same even if they are the same game but on different consoles.

(even newer)
Aight see ya dude.

sonarus6806d ago

This will make PS3's sell like hotcakes in the UK especiall now that games europeans really care about are finally on the system. Fifa pre evo soccer, singstar, and a whole other games. All the greats might not be out yet but by the time GT5 rolls out, MGS4, KZ2, GOW3, Along with all the undercover ps3 exclusives that will hit nxt yr

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.

solideagle28d 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

Final Fantasy VIII is great and you are always the first to defend it in the comments

Press X to (seriously) doubt.

Underrated comment. I used to hate that game so much that any time my siblings asked me to play it, I just picked Hom and shut myself down mid-match.

And then MK1 killed it again.

15 years went by so fast. I remember playing through the story mode at launch.

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.

Relientk7736d ago

Yeah I can see that for sure. Shuhei Yoshida should have been in charge not Jim Ryan.

Cacabunga36d ago

It should be free highway for him now.. but Sony are too stupid to see this, especially that moron Hulst

S2Killinit36d ago (Edited 36d 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.

neutralgamer199236d ago

S2Killinit

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

Cacabunga35d 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

1nsomniac35d ago (Edited 35d 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.

medman35d ago

Hulst is a disaster......

blacktiger36d ago

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_Box36d 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.

robtion35d 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.

darthv7236d 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.

Agent7536d ago

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

S2Killinit36d ago

Floppy 😆
No pun intended

badz14936d ago

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

Lightning7736d 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.
