I bought one at launch and can count on one hand the "great" titles. It seemed like Sony assumed it was going to be huge right out of the gate. All they touted was its "capabilities". When it wasn't, they had no clue which direction to take it. Is it a game console? is it a movie player? music player? The fact is it does all of those half assed. If they would have focused on GAMES from the get go, i think they would be a much stronger system. Instead they tried to please e...
I hope it doesn't come out the same week as "Chinese Democracy". I don't want to have to choose!
I have a 360 and a Wii. I've been waiting for a significant price drop on the PS3. My "sweet spot" is around $250. But man am i impatient. I might just have to use the stimulus check for this.
How do you guys think this will affect sales of the PS3 if at all? I assume the $100 doesn't apply to the PS3? I'm just looking for opinions.
from what i understand BR players are not fast enough to stream the data efficiently. So the "installs" are really just cache's. I would imagine the PS3's we see 2 or 3 years from now won't require installs because the stock drives will be faster. Just a guess.
Let me start by saying I'm a 360/Wii owner. I will be getting the PS3 when it's below $200 (i don't care if that's years away). That being said there ARE some of us who have NO interest in MGS4. I'll be the first to admit I'm a very impatient gamer. I have a hard enough time with a 5 minute cut scene. I'd rather "play" the story than watch it. Also, I'm just not that into "stealth/action" games (see impatience). So while it does look like an amazing game and just because i...
Can any PS3 owner tell you why there's no cokcpit view? Nope. you can guess and have your theories, but the fact is no one knows. So what is your point?
That is key and i forgot to mention it. thanks!
I should also point out the the Netflix player will download and/or stream depending on your connection. So for example if your connection isn't that fast, it will tell you how long before your movie starts. Could be 30 seconds, or hours. You can also select "download" and just watch it later. Either way I've had no hiccups in watching on the PC or 360
I don't believe it uses the 360 HD. i know it utilizes the Netflix player so i think it does all of the processing, buffering, etc... before it sends it to the 360
how do you possibly get disagrees for this (Bladestar)? I have the plugin, and it works. Where's the disagreement?
As Bladestar stated this is already available with a free plugin, and it works flawlessly.

I totally agree. People keep talking about bandwidth issues, etc..... but again, MOST people will NOT buy a BR player until DVD is gone and they have no choice. Look at the leap in quality from VHS to DVD. MOST people waited until VHS was gone from their local video store. I'll tell you right now that my Mom could give a frogs fat a$$ about HD. she just wants to sew and throw on a classic movie. So if she's going to stream a movie, HD isn't going to matter to her one bit. She might say "...
i always loved that attitude. i mean, what would people do if there was only ONE cell phone carrier? Don't you like to choose between rate plans, reliability, etc.....? You take all of that into account and make a decision. Why don't people want competition? It really never ceases to amaze me. I also don't know why I care...
EDIT: sorry, meant to reply to number 6
I think this is really the big question here. Of the DIGITAL movies people watch, how many were legal and paid for? When choosing, ask yourself this: If somebody gave you a choice of a free download or free DVD, which would you choose....... As far as Blu-Ray goes, it will catch one once it becomes a necessity instead of a luxury. I remember how many people didn't buy DVD's until they could no longer get VHS movies anywhere. People in these forums always seem to forget that MOST people don't ...
How can you possibly say the MS is "ruining" the industry?? Don't you know that competition breeds BETTER games for ALL systems? Do you not want the companies pushing each other to develop better products? Or would you rather have ONE system that sets all the rules? Enjoy your utopia.
I am by no means rooting for one console or another. The longer there are 3, the longer we will ALL get better gaming at better prices. What i don't understand is this feeling that MS is like an evil empire or something. It seems a lot of people dislike them because "it seems like the right thing to do". I appreciate the back and forth though :) bubbles
I'm really curious what MS did to make you not trust them? Was it something on this list? Let me add that I never said they were innocent, but are they really THAT evil? Does Sony have a higher moral code? If you think so, why?

I wasn't the one who disagreed. however, not everything needs to be "fishy". Somebody may have dropped the ball and sent the wrong ones for all we know. It's just as realistic as the explanations people here have come up with so far.
quite possibly the dumbest comment i have ever heard. You're whining because of an acronym??? WOW
