First of all I never said that I wanted the Elite 360, I did however say that its good for those who want it. I have a Sony 50" 1080i HDTV and my games look beautiful on it.....I've seen comparison's at Best Buy and honestly I can't really see the difference between 1080i and 1080p in side by side comparisons, I have perfect 20/20 but even if I could it wouldn't make a difference FOR ME, because MY TV is ONLY a year and 3 months old so its not like I'm going to be buying a new 1080p any...
Wow, I guess some Sonyfanboys want to "save" all of us potential Elite 360 owners from getting "screwed". -Just when I thought you guys didn't care about us poor 360 fans, you guys come along with some "friendly advice" to lend a helping hand by telling us not to let M$ screw us....AGAIN. -Whewwww! any company that would upgrade their hardware with more features is terrible because they should have done it form the start,(no other company has done that before) ...
hmmm, I thought Scarlett's comments made perfect sense, and I don't think its "hating" to add creditable comments to the topic....and deepbrown I think the difference is that those games are available at launch with no competition since both the 360 and the Wii have both already been released in Europe and of course if you are buying a PS3 then you are likely to buy at least 1 of what is considered by most to be the 2 best games....in other words shouldn't we expect them to be at th...
I think 165,000 is great news for the PS3, and there's no way you can twist that to say otherwise, BUT I think its foolish if you are a PS3 fan and you AGAIN forget to use a little perspective along with those numbers because the fact is that Sony had ample supply ready for the demand, as they should after the delay...and thats a good thing for Sony which is smart business in my opinion, however who didn't think there were at least that many early adopters and hardcore PS fans in the UK, actu...
yeah, I think they need to wait for solid figures before they pass judgement on how good or bad the launch sales....at the same time I don't know if your description of most of the early stories is correct because from what I have read most of the positive stories for the PS3 sales aren't really like "OMG PS3 is selling fast", most of them are just saying stuff like "Sony is pleased with launch sales" or "___ retailer says PS3 sales are in line with expectations"...
actually he is correct about Halo3 and GTA4, but only because its a silly play on words.....meaning 360 IS the only system that you can play BOTH these 2 games on.....in other words you can't play Halo3 on the PS3, errr NO sh!t -lol.....so a Sony rep could just as easily say PS3 is the only console you can play both Heavenly Sword and GTA4 on. -I don't know if he was attempting to be funny but either way its a Stupid comment.
yeah he summed everything up very quickly, in particular I think this says it all:
"At the same time we feel that allowing more people access to our content pleases far more people than it displeases"
-lol, in other words we're going to make far more money from the 360 sales than we are going to lose on the "few" PS3 sales from those who "actually" won't buy it now that its on the 360 also. -smart, and honestly I think most of th...
Everybody makes mistakes....I'll approve the story, uhmm but I'm not sure if I can cancel my report??? As far a this news goes, yeah I would definitely call that "cozy" if Square does indeed let M$ publish and develop?, this game....but as the writer said this type info isn't the most reliable.
Wow, he called us cheap. -lol, I guess it seems we have fallen out of favor with Sony, since PS3's aren't flying off shelves over here in the "massive land of the cheap". Europe it seems is Sony's NEW favorite red headed stepson(see how long that it lasts); hmmm, damm if he would say that about the country that bought more PS1 & PS2's than any other country then I wonder what he will say about the UK if they are not "flying of store shelves" in 1, 2, or 5 months? I ...
This is definitely not good news for Sony, but its NOT how you start its how you finish....so as long as sales pick up and people actually pay for the ones which were pre-ordered it might not be "so bad." The one thing that bothers me is how so many of you "need" to blame M$ or the media for "FUD" or whatever else "EXCUSE" you can come up with, damm, I read the entire article and it seems the guy was reporting his honest opinion of what HE WITNESSED, t...
I approved this anyway but I wasn't sure of the reliability because it was taken from vgcharts and no one knows how accurate they really are....IMO, I think its way to soon to be able to get accurate info from so many retailers, which leads me to believe that they might be using alot of "mixed" info, including pre-orders.....who knows?
[Edit]^^^^^^yeah, deepbrown I think its news, I just think it has to be taken with a grain of salt....same as nexgenwars, until we get...
like I said deepbrown how does anything you just said answer my rhetorical question about Europe being their most important continent of the 3? It seems your post did more to confirm exactly the point I was trying to make than deny it.
Sony shipped to the Japan and the U.S. first, obviously because they were expecting huge sales on their "hometurf" and of course because the US has bought more PS1 and PS2 than any other country.....so lets not be naive here; if you ca...
If Europe is the most important of the 3, then why choose to ship consoles to them last, with downgraded BC and still charge them more?.....just wondering?
yeah I read this exact same news but it was posted as a link under another post I had just read, I realized my mistake just a bit too late, sorry for the confusion.....this is actually the same launch event that kotaku covered, right?.... its funny how different the perspective is.
[Edit] vvvvvv,yeah me too, a free HDTV?....OMG!, with a sweet deal like that Sony has made a 100 new "die-hard" fans. -lol, oh and again sorry for the confusion.....sometimes I guess I need...
Why does TheMart feel the need to "bash" the PS3 every chance he gets?, 360 is my preferred console but I don't "hate" the PS3, I admit there are things I don't like about Sony more so than M$, but its not neccessary to "flame" Sony every chance I get, especially over nothing. Mart does make some great comments but he ruins his creditability when he attacks every single thing that has something to do with Sony. As far as the video goes honestly they look identi...
This isn't a personal event like a someone's Birthday party....these are two business's that often try to kick the other guy when their down, yep Sony says derrogatory things about M$, M$ says derrogatory things about Sony, and if you haven't noticed lately Ninty has been talking alot of "smack" about both consoles -nothing "hateful" but they recently said things like 360 isn't doing well in Europe, Sony's Home is a ripoff, and many other things "derrogatory" in ...
#10 fenderputty provided two links, one of which was a 46" HDTV giveway for buying a PS3....dammm, wish I could have been one of those lucky @#%%'s. The second link didn't really talk alot about PS3 launch event itself (a rough estimate of how many people were actually there), just alot of background info on the PS3:

-yet this link...
I can't believe they had a "360 loves you boat" go by while the PS3 launch party was going on....LMFAO, thats hilarious and very clever too. Of course they don't love you, they just want to take a "jab" at Sony to make sure people know that they mean business and just because PS3 has arrived they don't plan on letting up.....ha, ha a "love boat" -talk about marketing "dirty", I hope its just about videogames on that boat. -sorry just kiddin, this is a ...
the 360 launch party in Japan.....it was actually pretty good except for some of ackward moments I think Peter Moore had communicating with some of the Japanese fans who attended.....but even though that launch party was pretty good, its too bad that their sales haven't been really good(in Japan), hmmm I guess Sony should pray that the opposite is true for them in Australia. -(bad launch, sales pick up quickly)
I'm just glad we finally have a release date because I'm excited about this game.
