this is what they call a marketing spin kids, and you're buying it. first of all, the goal was 6 million, then 2 million, now apparently it changed to 1 million without announcement. and as stated before shipped does not equal sold. this is the same argument sony fans make everytime microsoft releases shipped numbers. microsoft SOLD over a million consoles within 6 weeks, to end users, that (for the most part) intended to open the box and play them. and they sold over 5 games with each o...
i wonder if it will "sport" any half decent games this time...
no sh!t it takes a while to load, it's friggin' huge what do you expect. how long do you think it will take on ps3 with a half-speed disc drive? and yes, it does cache to the hd on equipped 360's, so that's not a valid argument.
on topic though, wii60 is the way to go. altogether not much more than a 60gig ps3, and you get everything ps3 has (only better), plus a wii ;)
scarping pennies? seriously dude? you talk like you have a ps3 and 360 and then talk about scraping pennies for $50 a year. its 2006. $50 isnt a lot of money. the average person makes that in 2 hours worth of work or less. and SOCOM the top online game? are you f*cking kidding me? have you ever heard of Halo 2? put it this way, when halo 2 released the company i was workin at at the time (a real estate office, not exactly full of gamers), couldnt get over it. for 3 months all you he...
... and in 2 more months another will come out that will blow that one away. its a never ending cycle of buying cards that are obsolete before they are exploited to their full potential. thats the fundamental reason why pc games cant sell, even with an essentially infinite installed base. well, that and piracy.
... and regarding RFOM, im tired of hearing about it. its a mediocre fps, a cod2 clone with aliens and worse graphics, not a AAA title. i know, i play it every day. it's fun, but no more fun than any other decent fps. and with graphics like that if they DID have a hard time cramming enemies on scene then they'd REALLY have a problem, seeing as how it looks like ps2 character models with ps3 effects and filters.
wow... a media outlet PRAISING the ps3? this must be some alternate universe. well, i guess if you're "home theater magazine" and all you care about is blu-ray it would be easy to recommend being that it's half the price of every other player. note to sony fanboys, THIS IS A REVIEW OF PS3 AS A MOVIE PLAYER, NOT A GAME SYSTEM.
great... and in 6 months when its all obsolete again you can do it all over. good thinkin.
comparison? how can you compare an integrated online service to a website? i mean really, sony took ps2 online and added a website to download trailers and demos. woohoo.
well, it just proves again that gamers want games. sony was just too ambitious with ps3, period. in the process in created a box that does everything half-@$$ed. games? sorry, 360 is easier to program for, and just as powerful. "oh, but its a blu-ray player!" why not just wait a year for the format war to be over and pay $200 for a player and know for sure it will have titles being released in the coming years? "but it can run linux!". yeah, so can my computer, w...
why is it that every time a new graphics card comes out manufacturers show off all these "tech demos" and "demonstration renders" that never look anything like any games that are available until well after said card is obsolete? were just now getting realtime versions of the pictures on the back of my old geforce2 box ;). really though, if its not realtime it doesnt matter. any card can make pretty pictures in 3dsmax, it just might take 3 days to render. considering th...
playstation fans sensible shoppers? haha. no sensible shopper would buy a $500 console for resistance and a bunch of promises. we all know sony and promises. ive had a ps3 since launch day, and ive still yet to learn discipline as 'ol kaz promised i would. but atleast i didnt have to wait in line since there were 6 million consoles at launch, oops, sorry, another sony promise. and yes, gamers do pay $1000 over retail for consoles (when theyre worth that much). just look at the 360 laun...
screw hi-def? that could be the most jaded "im broke so ill hate on everything that i cant afford" comment ive ever seen. stfu. hd rocks. if you had one you wouldnt say otherwise. there is no point in owning a new-gen system without an hdtv (or a crt hd if you have ps3). pay full price for half the experience. that said, yeah there are reports all over the internet regarding the apparent death of blu-ray. i think theyre all a little ahead of themselves. it wont "die&qu...
this is exactly the type of game i bought a 360 NOT to play. spikey haired little kids with big swords saving the world just doesn't do it for me...
it didnt fix the 720p problem. articles are popping up everywhere confirming this. look around.
who really needs 50gb worth of crap on a disc? maybe for system backup or digital video production...
of course it isnt online, it's on ps3. there is no online. unless you count a website for downloading stuff and some developer-implemented online gaming features.
if blu-ray fails sony will be in some serious, serious trouble. good thing you sony fanboys payed an extra $200 to be future proof! dont worry, when they quit making movies on bd-rom you can just watch the 5th element a bunch of times until its worth it ;) lol. that library ROCKS (sarcasm).
haha "CELLeron" lol. thats funny. maybe we should call it "emotion engine v2.0" haha. just like ps2's "reality synthesiser" and how it was going to change everything about game graphics, only to soon become xbox's b!tch graphically speaking. lots o' hype - any real advantage = sony's marketing plan, round 2.
haha, talk about a slap, exactly one more gig than bd-rom. thats good stuff.
