About the headline... Chris, you are absolutly wrong. The 3g model will sell for the same reason the larger hdd for the 360 sells instead of the 4g model. Yes, I know the 4g model does sell, but hardcore gamers, in the market for a device will lean toward the most complete package. I bought my 60G ps3 at launch because I wanted the best version(they always dumb down electronics eventually).
They are way too childish looking for tats, imho!
got my 60G at launch too. just got a 360 relatively recently (came with a year of LIVE ), all I can say about "live" is, it does do "online" things a LITTLE better than "psn", but IMHO, psn does things better too. Free online gaming is such a positive deciding factor, I probably won't renew live. But Iiwill enjoy it now! I played SOCOM on the PSN back in the ps2 days with my screw-in "network adapter" , Sony does have roots in online gaming. Hope ...
microsoft owns cbs interactive, which owns cnet. Also, microsoft owns metacritic. jus sayin.
killzone 3 with 7.1 surround, optial output, true digital nirvana!
Absolutly loved kz3, killzone 2 is a freaking hall of fame classic! IMHO.
like it was said above^^, if you thought kz3 was a let down, then all other mainstream fps's this year should be considered absolute HOT GARBAGE to you! playing bf3,mw3 right now alongside kz3 online, WOW! not even comparable on the fun, graphic, sound-(7.1 surround ftw!), bullet hits, weapons, community... love it!
I think you are absolutly wrong, on BOTH counts. You said" No matter how many times you play Uncharted, you will never learn how to climb up a mountain or traverse an urban environment through parkour, or defeat a man in hand to hand combat."
I say, do some research on car racing and the impact of driving Sims such as Gran turismo, has had on record lap times in the real world of racing! Also because games FORCE young kids to concentrate in a very early stage in life,gaming ...
I love the snow in killzone 3 also! esp. during the storm levels where it picks up then subsides a little!
Also when a grenade pops snow all in your face and you cant see till it subsides! Too cool!
It makes the game more intense and virtual!
I got a little flack for paying $600+ for my 60g (still running smooth, 6+ hours a day!), but I still play games like the old burnouts, ico, shadow of the collosus, star wars battlefront 1/2, etc... and my son plays alot of ps2 games on it as well.
got a 360 recently and think it is great, now that the reliability is in check!
Played on psn online since "socom" on my fat ps2 with the screw in "network adapter". Still have my same screen name too! duh! :...
@bessy67^^^ You say..."unless it becomes apparent that they're focusing too much on kinect and abandoning the traditional gaming experience." That ship has sailed bessy. less than 4 notable, non-kinect exclusives ALL year! And tons of kinect titles released and pending...
Have you seen any "StarHawk" trailers in HD? nuff said....
@JBaby343... Thats how to write a response in an online forum bub! Hee Hee!
Everytime someone comes over, I play kz3's opening just to see the look on their face when radec gets betrayed and gets shot point blank in the face! The loud retort from the pistol, then the body drops is so dramatic!
Then I play both gt5's opening movies! Jaws do drop!
I called ea because my bf3 kept getting loggedout, they did a diagnostic and said"not us", told me to re-download the ms update, Worked great, but also had issues with marketplace, live keeps logging out, updates keep popping up too. Thought it was just me.
Not only were the graphics and artistically done text and pitures in this game ahead of its time, but the music was too! First mass produced game with actual tracks from very good music artists! At the time this was realeased most people thought of home based games were very muched geared toward the younger crowd, I.e. Mario etc.. Sony saw the gamers were aging and would appreciate more mature games. I for one, jumped right aboard with sonys more mature take on gaming! PS1/2/3. Its common kno...
killzone 2/3 has the physics your talking about. look for a vid on kz2 smoke effects when drop ships go through it. amazing! bf3 is a blast too though!
uc3 lived up to my expectations with flying colors, but I can see how the differences between 2/3 could mean a different outcome for someone else.
just got this game and ea servers still down! cant even play single player campaign! called ea and they said its for some aspects of single player to be online! this sucks ea!
Great story for a very good game! R3 as a fps brings a lot! Imho.
The personalized "seasons greeting card" and seasonal music shows how dedicated Yamouchi san is to gt5! Love it!
Any fps lover would go nuts for killzone2/3! Both are amazing! Any platformer who doesn't want tp play lbp is on something!
Btw, even though blu-ray's read slower doesn't mean its inferior to dvd's. That has been misquted for years now. BR's are absolutely differnt, on multiple levels concerning how the data gets imported. One exaple is the bit tranfer rate(btr) is much greater even at the lower speeds. Dvd's read slower as the laser moves to the outside of t...
