just like to sling that word "exclusive" around, and here, though I don't know what it said earlier, it now says "for two weeks"....nice spin, eh?
You might as well call any other multi-platform game "timed exclusive" as the delivery guy unloads the 360 version first off the truck on release day at the store..."it's timed exclusive for 3 minutes, ha ha, IN YOUR FACE!"....yeah....
I know it's your "choice" to do so, and I get your point, but bragging about pirating games/movies isn't an advantage, because someone with a PS3 or 360 could brag they just steal or borrow to play/own their own games/movies....you can't rack a mark in the pro column on pros and cons by saying you obtain something illegally, as it applies to all sides. But yes, I get your point, and I've been to pirate bay myself, I'm just throwing 2 cents in, as I have an i7 rig I built myself in M...
devoid of big releases on Sony's part, if MGS 4 released in June last year?
Just saying...
compliment...I'm glad I'm not the only one who sees Yahoo's paltry attempt at redemption after the pathetic prose they continue to release that slants the truth like a politician (see my above comment)...
They bash it one last time for its first 3 years and then say NOW you should buy one. You can read through the lines though, they allude to their past hatred of the PS3 fairly obviously, so they didn't clean up any act in my book.
since this double posted my above comment, I'll edit this and say on topic, I feel that if you don't have a PS3, get one.
But on another note, I think Yahoo Games is easily one of the most anti-Sony websites due to an article from awhile back about "sales" (you know they're fanboys when they sling around the sales ammo)...You can see it seeping through their writing here too, note how they say "despite a cut here and there, it's remained firmly in the "overpri...
talk about "unhinged", see your own avatar.
and my own due diligence in shopping, deals can be had for less than $60....take the ECA discount for example, that alone guarantees I pay at most 90% of what retailers are asking, if not less because Amazon has good deals. Plus I don't pay tax there either, another bonus. I rarely buy used...
Think about it, Jaffe, a game will hold more demand if it's great, people won't consider getting it used because "it's that good" and they want it in good condition, look at the p...
your very first comment was PS3 related, it was a preemptive strike against other fanboys, you set yourself up to be attacked, God....
Not to mention, YOUR AVATAR is PS3 related, how's that "victimization" working for you, you're asking to be attacked just with your avatar alone by some of the fanboys around here, not to mention your comments. If you'd chill out and actually display your claimed "happiness and excitement" maybe it'd sound genuine...instead you...
I may not have been able to even speak for that particular "war", but I feel a reason later/recent console wars are more prominent or "in your face" or virtually inescapable, are because the user base has grown exponentially, and thus the sides have as a result. In the 70's and early 80's gaming was such a small niche that a console war probably was more akin to a gang war, whereas now with 360 vs. PS3, it's like the crusades by comparison. Game budgets and penetration in ...
where on this planet was that PSP ad shown, I don't think that wouldv'e gone over well around here, probably wasn't in the US....wow. People around here are touchy about that stuff.
I think this war is the worst only because people's inner-most anger/hatred is unleashed anonymously on the web, and it just divides the sides further, there's voice chat and all for game on game hatred too, but with total internet proliferation, the things most people say in person are sugar-coated, ...
just maybe, the projects were "shelved" and set on the back burner, as the reasoning as I recall was "to shift resources to projects closer to completion" which could be interpreted as an indefinite delay until further along elsewhere, not a "cancellation" but who knows, we can hope, right?
I didn't have the money for a PS2 on top of that, and along side that fact, there really wasn't much need to worry about BC being taken out, it was something expected of Sony at the time. The PS3 offering has vastly changed during 3 years, and nobody could have known. It was important then to me, and it's still important and I'm glad I got it. Because it's such a simple thing when it's software BC that's already written/programmed, there's really no reason not to release it as a download or f...
that's why BC was so important in my deciding process among other factors when I weighed things last year...the 80 GB MGS 4 bundles had software BC, and I never had a PS2...seriously, not everyone and their grandma had a PS2, I missed out, and God of War 1, 2, Shadow of the Colossus, Ico, MGS Essentials, Kingdom Hearts 1 and 2, Ace Combat 5, Jet Li's game, and so on, I never got a chance, and I didn't feel like buying a PS2 separately just to do so. I couldn't have been the only one...6.5 bil...
is that the play and charge is a lot more money, the "standard" controller for each console has the PS3 one recharge with a 3 foot (not 2 like you say) cable, whereas the "standard" 360 controller included or most often bought is the wireless one for $50 (or cheaper if you shop on Amazon)....
You're comparing the top of the line 360 controller that retails for $65 and that's not the standard one, to the PS3's only available controller ($55 retail, which still ...
ultimate warranty they like to boast about only covers some of the defects, and for 3 years, why brag about that? The norm is no warranty and almost no defects, with the intent to keep a console for years on end.
would end when a guy with a "RRoD" shirt came on screen and shot the 360 guy, while the guy with the shirt that said "media" came in and shot the PS3 guy....it'd have one run and be over.
before any Slim announcement, it's what defines them, and makes them wake up in the morning it seems, being so damn negative about the competition despite numerical, indisputable facts right in front of them...it's the way of "honor" or something for them.
would have bought one even before this one if they're weren't inherently inept at rudimentary mathematics, sad to say, and I'm not even talking about as far as just a games console, I'm talking about a piece of electronics, as I find it closer to a computer than consoles were 10 years ago, it can have Linux, stream media, and go on the internet with keyboard & mouse wirelessly for Godsakes, on top of playing next gen games off/online for free, PS1 games (and many played PS2 ones) and blu-...
but the fanboys will still somehow come up with "360 is still cheaper" for some stupid reason, seems like them to. So many instances PS3 was cheaper at $400 if you were requiring a lot of the add-ons MS wants to nickel and dime you for, this just makes it beyond a steal if you don't have one. "But the Arcade allows next gen at $200...." there fanboys, it's been said, so move along and practice spinning facts some more, maybe it'll get you into politics one day if you're st...
about this, and since it's not covered by the 3 year warranty, it makes me uneasy about ever owning one...When a 360 fan (not necessarily fanboy, I see a difference) tries to convince me to take the plunge (because I do want one still) I tell him about the defects, and he just dismisses it as if everything's okay because "but there's a warranty bro"...well, only on the most prominent defects, not the disc scratching. And I'm not planning on only owning a console for 3 years, sorry, ...
