Agreed. I think this "Hands On" article concentrates to much on the TV alone when discussing the price. The $500 doesn't get you the TV; it get's you the TV, a PS3, Resistance 3, Move, a playstation eye, and the glasses.
Good deal for the price?
You bet your sweet @$$!! I may not be interested in 3D, but others are.

Doesn't matter the crossover - PSN and Steam, 360 and Games for Windows, Apple's Gamecenter and Vita or 3DS - the principles remain the same. 1) There is no way in the world it would be anything but highly controlled 2) Cost would prohibit any type of universal crossing or open sharing.
Are there some risks? Sure. Do the actual amount of risks outweigh the potential benefits? I don't think so. The worst consequence we've ever see...
I think the writer misinterprets not only the level of cross-platfrom play, but the implementation itself. The idea is not, by any means, to have the full extent of Steam on PS3 or the full PS3 library on Steam. The work and cost behind making so many thousands of games multi AND cross platform renders the idea ludicrous. In other words, both Sony and Valve will remain highly independent accept for the most rare of occassions; games like Portal 2 or other joint projects. The idea that these...
Edge...I just don't have anything good to say about it. Elitist in its demeanor, I find the quality of the reviews in no way justifies how seriously the publication takes itself.
Honestly, I disagree with no other gamespress source more often.
Considering some live footage I have now seen of the game running on console these shots are shockingly accurate.
We are all in for a treat.
I think 2013 as well. I must say, however, that I am excited for the Wii Successor which is most likely arriving in 2012.
@ Tilian
I think you are lumping in Fanboy flame-fests with the positive results of healthy techonological and economical competittion. The admirable accomplishments of various game makers, programmers, and console makers inspire and challenge their competitors to raise the bar.
THIS IS A GOOD THING. The only bad truly comes on the consumer end.
Additionally, the idea that the INTERPRETATION of comparative data is somehow inherently bad is ...
I enjoy these pieces. There is probably no other article type where I learn more about the science behind making games without getting too deep or technical. Just a nice insight into what makes a quality game with solid programming.
As for those that complaine about these every time...they aren't going anywhere, so quit wasting your breath. You don't have to agree with them, but you don't need to subject others to your negativity either.
Boo freakin hoo.
If you called me "fatty" - cuz I do sport some extra pounds - I then have two options: 1) I can be very hurt and offended and make a big freaking deal of it, or 2) I can move on with my life and not care.
BEING OFFENDED IS A CHOICE. Too many people choose to be offended.
P.S. My best friend is adopted. We CONSTANTLY tease him about it. We point out unattractive homeless people and say "Hey bro, it's ur...
I agree with this title. With full online, HD, hard drives, multiple distribution methods, voice chat, dozens of quality games and more... this is clearly the best generation so far.
I'm expecting even better things next gen.
I love it. It's simple and bold.
This is my kinda news. Skyrim is my single most anticipated title of 2011. I'm literally taking the day off work.
Agreed. And the list had some great ones as well, my personal peeve from it being "the DJ." It's amazing how much terrible, loud music people play and try and force others to listen. I mute them so fast it makes their heads spin.
And...to be honest....I usually mute them right after saying something like "Hey, way to listen to crappy music bro! I'm muting you!" After that they try and talk sh!# to silence. it's a special feeling.
I would love to play a truly Open-World Mario game. A huge, Mario world with different areas, tons of fun secrets, and more.
Check*** or Cheque are variant spellings of the same word. Just like Color and Colour.
Study the Arbitrary Nature of the Sign before attempting any meaningful conversation on the "right way" to spell, say, symbolize, or signify ANYTHING. You can start with Saussurean Linguistics.
No, they don't.
No way that will be the price, that's just a place-holder amount they listed. The tech reported for the console from more than half a dozen reliable sources would reasonably place the console around $350 - $400 USD max.
Moving on, I'm thrilled to see this new console. Can't wait for more details at E3.
Gonna go with Portal 1 and 2, Ratchet and Clank, De Blob, Dragon Age: Origins.
It may be accurate to say that Skyrim will look great on every platform, but identical?
No. Not gonna happen. PC is gonna offer better anti-aliasing, crisper textures, improved draw distance, and likely better lighting, self shadowing, and physics.
I love my PS3 and literally use it every day. I'm a huge fan of Killzone, Resistance, inFamous and more. There is still a lot of lifei n the system. However, the thing is also running on architecture finalize...
Hey ThwIP71,
Thanks for calling me stupid. Wanna make fun of my mom being dead too?
Do you normally insult people for a plain-old mistake? I was simply misinformed.
Go ahead, my mom died in 2004. Wanna call her names? She was on the heavy side, wanna thrown in an insult about that too?
Manners my friend, they make the world a better place.
