And we all now Sony will lower the price to around $299...and you will get wifi and bluray....its all over for the Xbox 360 if that happens....even if the Xbox 360 is $199...it does not matter...you get bluray with the PS3.
The only game worth buy exclusivly for the Xbox 360 this year is Gears of War 2...but all the other must have games are gonna come out for the PS3 this year...
And the 120GB is $170!!!
On the PS3 it $99 for a 250Gb 2.5 inch SATA!
$50 for a 120GB SATA.
That game better be good!!!
GTAIV will play better on the PS3...because of the controller...and home integration (lets hope it has home integration, if not they can add it in) DLC you have to pay for...who cares...i only want the original GTA4 game...GTA5 will be a PS3 exclusive in 1.5 years...
Gears of War 2..might save the Xbox 360 from being in last place....
GTA4 won't.....
Remember if Halo 3 could not keep the PS3 from beating down the ...
Xbox 360 Premium 20 GB harddrive $349
Xbox 360 WIFI $99
PS3 40GB $399 (included wifi, bluray, HDMI 1.3a, 40 GB harddrive.)
All sony has to do now is drop the price of the PS3 to $299 and its all over for microsoft...even if microsoft drops to $199 for the Core and $249 for the Premium and $349 for the Elite...it won't matter...the PS3 is the complete package.
Sony should also stick with one sku....but maybe increase the harddisc size every year....
Sony would have said that there was a delay...they even added features to home....so it is real close.
You just have to buy it off the internet....
A internal 250 gig drive is all you need for now of the PS3....only 1 major game has a 5GB install...and that is devil may cry...
other awesome games have no major harddrive install or load times..Ratchet and Clank, Uncharted...all of these games are using streaming textures for the HD or Bluray or both...
Devil May cry is probably using streaming textures too...but I am not sure they are..
since you can use guestures in HOME, i presume using the sixaxis remote...what would be cool if you could enter in some kind of dance club in the marketplace or even in your on home in home during a party...and have dance offs. Plus you can show off how good you look in your HOME clothes and jewelry, and hair styling.
HOME is a casual gammers dream...
Why not use netflicks or go to Block Buster or Hollywood video...and get the bluray or DVD and stick it into you player....its faster and about the same price.
Until everybody has 50 megs down and 50 megs up with no caps, either wireless (Wimax or 4G) or wired (Fiber or FIOS)...Digital Distribution aint gonna kill bluray or DVD any time soon. And you will never, ever, ever, ever be able to get 4G and FIOS if you live out in the boonies!....you will only be able to get Sat or di...
This year they will show the finished or open beta HOME and more little big planet...and 2 other never before seen games....God of War 3 and something we have never seen or hear of before...maybe a Nsoft game....or world of warcraft for the PS3...
Either way...they are gonna blow us away later this week on Thursday...
They might even annouce the online music and video store in HOME, which can also be accessed on the PSP and any Cell phone.
Does microsoft release all of their software for the Xbox 360 and i mean current games, like Halo 3 and Mass Effect over Xbox Live? NO!
Sony has on 2 games available on bluray and PSN....Warhawk and GT5 Prologue...and they will release more....but sony realized that DD will compliment hard media like bluray and DVD and CDs....but will never replace that media.
Not everybody in the world has a 50 meg FIOS pipe to their house...most have dialup for 1.5 meg DSL or ...
When on the PS3 it uses standard 2.5 inch SATA drives that are as follows in price:
160GB 2.5 inch SATA $89.99
250GB 2.5 inch SATA $114.99
320GB 2.5 inch SATA $179.99
All these quotes are from newegg.com
The deal is to get a 40 GB PS3...and then get a 250GB 2.5 inch SATA for $114...this beats anything microsoft can put out...you can not even go higher than 120GB right now in the Xbox 360 Elite since microsoft went with a propriatary h...
That right Texas is the center of the world and its in Central Time!
Do they have 50 meg pipes in Midland Texas? In jackson mississippi? In San Antonio Texas...the 7 largest city in the USA? NO, NO, NO!
Until there is FIOS connections or the equivilent of 50 mps down and at least 25 mps up....with no caps...and the price per month is avg around $50...then digital distribution of movies will never kill bluray....
Now the wireless is going to get faster...check this out on wikipedia on wimax and 3DPP Long Tem Evolution (4G)
...
Sonys upcomming movie music and games digital distribution service. sony is the only one who has Digitally Distributed PS3 games and on bluray at the same time. Microsoft has never done this...and probably never will with the current Xbox 360.
If microsoft was serious about DD, they would have at least put in a harddrive in every Xbox 360...along with wifi. Microsoft is just short sighted and no able to take risks like Sony and Apple..
Just think if Sony and Appl...
There is a bluray drive in every PS3! There are over 10 million PS3s sold worldwide...I was in best buy yesterday and I saw 5 PS3 40 gb models being rung up at the checkout line...there were no Xbox 360s in stock because microsoft is holding up Xbox 360 production to act like nintendo and simulate demand....Sony has not done these tactics with the PS3 this gen...they are making as many as they can and selling them....there are places that are out of stock...but if you want a PS3 you can find ...
The PS3 is actually the funnest console, when are you by yourself...which is most of the time.
Ok yesterday i bought a wii game for my wii....no more heros....it is a cool as game...but the graphics are so last gen just like in all wii games. After playing the PS3 and Xbox 360 for the last year...i have to say the wii is gonna go down faster than the whore on 11th street. Whoever says it not about the graphics is kidding them selves...ok after playing for an hour with no more h...
You it is on the nail....you mess with sony and you get burned....
All microsoft had to do was put in HD-DVD into the Xbox 360...they should have learned from Sony back in the early PS2 days...the PS2 included DVD...the PS3 Bluray. Had microsoft done that...they would have won...but now they are gonna get squeezed by Nintendo and Sony!
Digital downloads are not going to be mainstream till 5 to 10 years from now, when hopefully everybody will have at least a 25 to...
That is cheap compared to the performance it got. Plus it is SLI capable.
Sony took its time in developing HOME. Ever if it is not going to be perfect...it will be big....and they will upgrade it will more features that we what over time. Sony is good at that. Also sony is getting better and better with user interfaces...look at HOME and PlayTV....also Home will be big with the casual gammers or users...the PS3 is gonna be that bridge between the hardcore and casuals....now if we can only get an exclusive version of world of warcraft that has home integration.........
