As much as I would like to say it's unreasonable for Sony to charge $249 for the PSPgo.... I must say.... Cnet's been pumping out a lot of pessimistic Sony articles lately haven't they... If they can't get hits for the Slim, get hits for the Go?

"You're talking about the few stores sold out made to look like the whole planet sold out, "

but sales in the United States equals to world sales!

Does anyone notice with the dimensions, the new PS3 is perfectly square shaped length x width wise ?

That's quite a spin you got there... but no, installs should not be required so my 360 can be quieter. In fact, I don't think it's quieter than my launch PS3 because I can definitely hear it more than my PS3 when I play Fable 2. And I really hope MS just do a firmware update and release a casing of that proprietary drive so we can slap any size hd into it. With my 20gigs I can only install Fable 2 atm. The other space is occupied by dlc and demos. Hell no am I deleting installed games...

Ya know I remember back before the Xbox was released, MS stated their intention of releasing a console was so that PC gamers could play PC games without having to bother with installation or ensuring that they met the minimum requirements to play the game. Now they just want a piece of the pie that is the console gaming business. Look what happened to PC gaming when the 360 came about.

Remember how much better COD was on PC? Remember Baldur's Gate, Icewind Dale, Age of Empi...

I'm going to have to disagree with you there Apocalypse. The first three facts were justifiable but after that it just seemed like senseless fanboy rant. You can put it both ways.

MS patenting X-game chat/invites and implementing it into Live! - Success
MS patenting and implementing custom soundtracks in games - Success
Halo 3 outselling competition on first day sales - Success

See what I did there? Have to hand it to you though with the HDMI inclus...

@dcbronco

hah yea it does look fake... but it's still better than just applying a damage texture. Oh and the hood pops up! How cool is that? lol I saw a video online the other day on one of those college humor sites, and a guy in a bmw convertible hit a pedestrian at maybe 50-60 mph. On the slow-mo, his hood popped up! FROM hitting a pedestrian!

^ Dude, the Xbox was just simply awesome for its time. I absolutely loved that thing. The PS2 had its good mix of games too but man last generation was probably the best time of gaming for a lot of us. This generation is just so sleezy.

@Blaze929

Huh? As much as I agree with you that Sony's PS1 and PS2 brands were "kings" in their generation, there were some points I disagree. Back in the days, even though they were the kings, each console had their respective games. There was a REASON to purchase a specific console. You had your mario, metroid, f-zero, and yoshi games on the N64/Gamecube. If you really wanted to try Pikmin or Animal World you'...

Launch unit still very quiet even after hours of RE4. Not whisper quiet. But definitely not vacuum cleaner loud.

My PS3 has locked up several times but I haven't stumbled upon a YLOD yet. I also have never come across DRE problems w/ the PS2 or PS2slim. My friend's and exgf's PS2s never had problems either. You can say we were the exception to the numerous DRE problems people reported. However, I must say though that my friend's Playstation (not PSone) from long ago had many DRE problems. I recall we played games w/ the unit upside down. A side note though, his was modded and i'm not sure if th...

Same here, but watching a dvd on the 360 thankfully isn't loud at all. I was surprised when I first got my launch PS3 - it was very quiet. I hear the newer [jasper] 360s aren't as loud as before. I'm not sure which revision I have after I got it out of the coffin, but this refurb hasn't rrod on me yet. I'm hoping it does and I send it in only to get a jasper refurb w/ hdmi out - at least that's what I read some people got on the official forums. At the same time maybe I don't want to, ...

If you crash cars in a simulator, you don't deserve to be driving in that simulator. Hand it over to someone with more experience.

Heh i've experienced many car accidents up close & personal in my life, and from what I've encountered, pieces generally just fall off on the newer cars. Older cars tend to deform before giving up and having their pieces fall off. For example, I saw a really old couple driving a nicely maintained (but very old) truck. They ran the red light and slammed into a newer bigger truck at about 40-45 mph. The couple was alive (the accident was 1 lane over from me) thankfully, but they wer...

What the? They need to get their eyes checked? I saw the gamersyde damages replay video and I see deformation. Heck the bumpers wobble as the car is in motion. Oh that's right... it's very last gen because it's a Sony game.

It's completely justifiable to purchase a 360 for Halo 3 & Gears of War 2 because you can't get those two exclusives on the PC.

/s

On a side note, it's great PS3 owners can get this little gem. I got this when the dlc came out and it adds so much more to the original GTA4. You guys will be missing out if you don't pick it up. However, I don't think I'll be picking up Gay Tony. GTA4 is a little outdated now and there are other sandbox games out there - money be...
