Get your popcorn and blankets and get ready!
Tropies and In Game XMB (the holy PS3 grail) are comming soon!
Power to the playstation!
Its just the way it is....people need to get over it. Buy a PS3 if you want to play MGS4, little big planet, and Killzone 2, and resistance 2, and Socom Confrontation...
And it already sold 3 million units in 2 weeks on the PS3 alone...and will probably end up selling more than Gears of War 1.
Wishfull thinking of Xboxfanboys....MGS4 will never ever, ever come to the Xbox 360...maybe the xbox 720 with the builtin bluray drive....LOL!!!
That is also what I heard from my sources too.
Just sit back and relax...you have less than 48 hours to be wowed...
And let it have a HDMI 1.3 out port...and a built in 5 megapixel camera that will do 720p video also...and wifi 802.11 b/g/n and bluretooth 2.0 with all the profiles including stereo bluretooth, with the multitouch screen and motion controls and 8 gigs of built in flash memory and 512 megs of ram and sell it for less than $200...then sony will rule in the portable market..
And the betas will be out next summer at the latest, if January 2010 is the release date...
Its all good...why should be stay with XP or Vista? The future is bright. We are only talking about an OS....Maybe Windows 7 will be good....this just means that apple will have to move faster...
As long as you got a good deal, and a warranty, and you did not get ripped off in the process..
Most places will not charge your card until they ship the item..
Socom will be hot hot hot!!!
The graphics looks really good in the latest update. It has come a long way since last year...
His internet connection was weak or very slow. I have a 15 meg down and 2 meg up...and my firmware downloads are less than 5 mins.
Lets just hope they show some of it at E3. I am ok with a 2009 release date. 2009 is also going to be an awesome PS3 year.
Newegg has the 320gig SATA 2.5 inch drives around $120 to $135.
If and when microsoft announces the $299 20GB Xbox 360...then sony will drop the PS3 40GB down to $349 atleast...maybe even $329 also. A PS3 40GB at $329 kills all hope for microsoft and even nintendo wii. Sony knows this and I think they will announce a $329 PS3 slim at E3. They are holding this so close to their chest....Its better for the PS3 to be a little bit more expensive than the other two consoles because it brings perceived value...and it really is.
Mark my words at l...
When sony finally releases home nothing will be able to compare...look at what the build is like commming out in the next few weeks. Show me second life graphics doing ships bobbing in the harbor? It is not possible. Neither will the Xbox 360 do anything remotely like home....but this my gammer pad will be interesting if it is exclusive to the xbox 360...remember microsoft does know how to make software...which is what they should stick with.
Playstation life has weather in realtime...this is not even possible on the wii...so the wii weather channel and news channel is not even in the same space and playstation life. Plus the wii globe is so 1990ish...
Actually the Playstation Life looks better than the google earth globe...and it looks like sony integrated web and news and they said they will be doing pictures also...like google earth does...but playstation life also adds music support and seems to tie into the vis...
Sony is just waiting for Microsof to make the first move. Remember the PS3 has a 40 Gb harddrive, wifi, and bluray, and totally free online...all worth the extra $50...but if sony went postal and dropped the 40GB PS3 by $100 and the 80 Gb Ps3 by $100....it would be total curtains for the Xbox 360.
Also 20Gb harddrive is way to small for the xbox 360...40Gb should be the min...
And remember the Xbox 360 has almost been out for 3 years, it should have been $299 las...
Also maybe Sony will announce the PS3 slim at E3?
The graphics and speed of the wii news\weather channel is weak at best. Its cool for a while...but I want real satellite imagery weather, not a forcast. I want something like google earth, which has weather in it...real and forecasted.
Just think it would be able to show the hurricanes and earthquake data. You can not get this in real time on the weather channel! Just think of the possiblities!!!!
But if all this is in 720p\1080p..it will be glorious...and we alr...
There is still so much potential in the PS3 os, xmb and home..two years from know we will look back to 2008 and say dang!
It seems like the PS3 is evolving much faster than the Xbox 360 and wii...
When they are selling about 50K to 150K each week...and more and more first party titles are comming this fall..
The Xbox 360 sales are definately flatlining....but not the PS3 sales.
But I think we will get a price drop this E3 for the PS3...most people say no...but Sony will suprise us. They can not have the Xbox 360 priced at $100 less....
