actually the answer is quite simple.. The reason that so many people get defensive is because of cost.. This new generation of consoles was soo damn expensive to invest in. I personally have close too 2000 invested into my ps3.... console=600, 20+ games with a rough estimate of 1200, two controllers at 50 a piece, external hard drive, and thats not counting my 13 blu ray movies... Now imagine you spent all of that money on a console and its future is threatened by some pre-pubescent zit face...

Even more ironic is sony, during the gamescom presentation, stated that it will run more efficiently and cooler... Im not even going to make the correlation with "the other console" because he didnt mention it but we all know how ironic and laughable this failed attempt at tripping up the slim is...

Actually you're wrong.. Sony, since 2006, has decided to track sales all the way through to the customer purchase---->

OK slow your role, everyone... First of all this is some obscure little tv program in japan trying to cash in on the ps3 buzz. They are not professional analysts and neither are any of you... I worked in the media department of best buy and was directly responsible for the "bundles" that you see every week. Retailers dont make squat off of the hardware. They generally make 5-25 dollars off of a piece of hardware. They make their money off of software, protection plans, and accessori...

This is your problem mart.. Your are far too shortsighted.. You can only see whats in front of your face.. You dont look at the big picture. Sony, with their game consoles, have a buisness strategy which has always been successful and they've used since they entered this buisness. Microsoft put pressure on sony but they are in no way allowing ms to sway their hand. Sony has used this same model with the ps1, ps2, and now the ps3.. They have always reduced costs which in turn lowers the retail...

I know right? I feel the same way... I've been sick with fear that sony may just fall out of this race... *slaps forehead* shoulda had a v8..... god what was I thinking..

You are making a generalized statement about a broad group of people based on a small target within the core of that group... This is called stereotyping... Yes there are some very ignorant people who troll 360 articles and making very un intelligent remarks... But its a two way street, their are some within the 360 camp that are just as bad.... This type of comment is the exact type of self righteousness and ego stroking that incites flame wars... Stop labeling ps3 fans as a whole for the in...

You know you're absoulutely right,,, auto braking and a color coded line indicator are the most complex skill sets for a gamer to grasp in a racing game... Hmm I wish I were as omnipotent as you..... Dude give it up, every post you've made in this thread has been aimed at distancing forza 3 from nfs shift..... "the only reason these games are being compared is how close they release to one another" No they are being compared because they are similar in styles...Like we all have been...

In all honesty, live is a good service.. Is it really that muich better then the offerings of sony? I think that all comes down to preference. I cant say yay or nay but I can make a strong argument that they are pretty equal..

I came to this conclusion mostly by my own experience with both services and through mature and sometimes not so mature debates with others... I feel that the few extras that live offers that psn does not is negated by the fact that you have to pay to...

Your cynicism is showing... right there behinded your jaded expectations...... Honestly this same argument can be made about alot of franchises in gaming... They all do it, why? It's called structure.. You take what made the previous entry great as the base, slather on some over the top visuals, new skills, weapons, enemey variations, new levels and bam there it is... No not an avatar having a seisure but a high quality, feverishly anticipated sequel... If the only thing you can see from tha...

Actually If you bothered to watch the entire video, all 4 parts, they revealed alot of new mechanics to the game... I really like the placement of the context sensitive buttons that flash onscreen.. Now each button is place on the far edges of the screen according to its placement on the controller... For example the triangle button now appears at the very top of the screen, circle to the far right, x at the bottom and square to the left.... Also the abiltity to use the harpies as a means to ...

Sony just reassured me that my $600 that I handed them in nov of 2006 was used to cover stig asmussens pay check.. If sony gives us what we the gamers want, which is a CE that contains both original games on a blu ray, well then consider my purchase his bonus as well.... That demo was just pure epic and I pray to the sony gods that they let us have this demo on the ps store soon... I think we all need to band together and start a poll or something similar to show sony if we cant have the gam...

Your gripes with the sixaxis have no bearing on its quality.. This is the biggest problem with journalism, instead of maintaining a neutral view you justify the ranking of these controllers based on opinion... Sony's controller design is , arguably, the best designed controller in the history of our beloved medium. I cant help but think of the controller standards that sony's design has given us.. But your label as worst is only justified by lack of rumble due to legal litigation? Sixaxis...

For someone who cant seem to remember the metal gear storyline very well you sure are opinionated on how well it would translate into movie or book form... You seem so determined to prove your point that you ignore everything I said. What does metal gear being a great story have to do with becoming a movie? There are alot of movies out there that have abhorable stories.. Movies are not the defacto standard in storytelling, neither are video games for that matter. My entire point was that a ...

For someone trying to pass themselves off as a literary expert your really have no idea what makes a great story... Narrative "hooks" are devices used by the author in order to draw the reader into the story... Plot twists are some of the most effective uses of a hook... These devices keep you on your toes, just when you think you know what is going on here comes that curveball from left field... Mgs4 has some of the best storytelling in video game history... The subtle nuances of h...

None of us can know what implications natal will have on gaming. So the remarks of Natal=fail and those that claim it as the revolution are without weight... They only aim to undermine... Now that being said I have alot of doubt based on what I have seen and heard so far... If milo was as they presented it then why no live demo? Yes we've seen people playing burnout paradise with natal but I've seen alot of instances where car did not match input.. My main question is how will you traverse...

Thank you for your compliment. Bubbles for you as well... Im not going to delve into what the other consoles have to offer. Im trying to avoid the de-evolution of this debate which so far is doing well... But yes the ps3 has alot of value, the only problem is public perception... Viral marketing and media are really hurting sony so far... If one complaint can be made about sony this gen is their off putting marketing so far... They are getting much better and look I forward to the success th...
