Just curious, but why is in-game XMB access important to you? Personally I see no reason for it.
I thought that this discussion was about HD movie formats. Instead, as always, it breaks down into console war nonsense. How about lets leave PS3 versus 360 pollution out of this. 360 sales compared to PS3 sales have nothing to do with competing movie player formats.
You post clearly insulting remarks about another user, which at the same time are likely to insult other users you aren't even talking to, and then you have the nerve to ask for bubbles?
My guess is that you are not alone. I don't think that the majority of people bought PS3's just to be able to watch Blu-ray movies, but the fact that you can do it is a nice bonus. I didn't buy my PS3 specifically for Blu-ray, but after watching 300 on Blu-ray I can't say that I'm disappointed.
I know that this question will get me flamed for sure, but do you think that Blu-ray movie sales would be as high compared to HD-DVD if the PS3 had more quality software available today?...
I would wager that the majority of people everywhere don't know what Blu-ray and HD-DVD are. The market penetration for these products is so small that it is hardly a blip in the marketplace, but people on this website seem to think that this thing is armageddon or something. Neither format is clearly leading in anything other than a way distant second place when compared to DVD.
I'm surprised that you want to be able to choose what format you want to buy. Not because of the ty...
The only reason people bring up the PS3 2008 lineup is because many of the PS3's best games got pushed back to 2008. As a PS3 owner I'm somewhat discouraged by it. At least I'll get Heavenly Sword soon.
I just want it to be over.
I think that its funny that the PS3 beats the 360 in sales for one month and suddenly the 360 is dead. Gotta love fanboy logic.
Because fanboys believe that Microsoft created HD-DVD and that somehow it is tied to Xbox. But the rest of us live in the real world and know that HD-DVD and Xbox 360's only connection is an add-on drive that you don't have to buy if you don't want it.
This generation is completely different from every generation before. The entry prices are higher, the game prices are higher and online is a much more important component. The traditional wisdom just doesn't apply any more.
In my opinion we aren't going to see sales like previous generations until prices drop below $300. At current levels both the 360 and the PS3 are still luxury machines. Mass market appeal isn't there yet.
You guys are getting screwed over the most by exchange rates, tariffs and taxes more than just being overcharged.
Apparently what you don't understand is that kids are gamers, too. Sony and Microsoft, in their collective arrogance, have ignored kids and casual gamers. Nintendo took the game to those markets and they're raking in huge profits.
They should stop talking about it and just release some games. Don't tell me what's coming. I know what's coming. I'm just sick of waiting.
What's so sad is that "hardcore" gamers are just as arrogant as Microsoft and Sony. Spouting off crap about how Nintendo is for kids and how it has no games. Sony hasn't exactly delivered on games, either. And Nintendo has some good titles on the way.
The arrogant "hardcore" among us need to give credit w...
Um, Meus? Home isn't even available. Sony hasn't implemented anything yet. Nothing is currently available to mass market consumers via Home.
They've both got more money than any of us will probably ever see, so it's pretty stupid to argue over it.
Smaller chips help because they don't require as much power, therefor they don't create as much heat. That's a pretty simple one. The system's flaw is presumably that the motherboard flexes when it gets hot, so if there isn't as much heat the board presumably won't flex and break solder points.
Get ready for 9,000 pallette swaps and decals.
That a realistic racing simulator would have car damage. Yet I bet we're back to bouncing off of the walls again.
Especially withe the Prince of Persia comments. Those games had their flaws, too. The camera in Sands of Time was so frustrating, but it was still a great game. If they can give us some of that with an open-ended element I think it is going to be a great thing.
This guy works for Sony. He says they haven't done it. Yet people come here and call him a liar. We all know it is possible, but is it really necessary? I know I haven't missed rumble. There were very few games that really made innovative use of it. It wouldn't surprise me if you didn't see it at all.
Maybe it will come back. Who knows?
