The only thing going against the PS3 right now is the anticipation of 80GB MGS4 PS3 being restocked. If I didn't have one already, I would definitely wait until they become available before buying a PS3 for MGS4.
Well, the key to that is according to Vgchartz. Their software numbers are usually off until they adjust it. Many PSP titles have become best hits, while they are still tracked lower than 200k.
But with every passing update, it loses a little more and there's nothing it can do but make a price cut.

You obviously haven't heard of that Avatar/Gamepad rumor floating around of how the 360 is trying to imitate the Mii and Home,
Nigeria just announced that aggressive investments in its infrastructure will help ensure it become one of the top ten economies in the world. I kind of feel Nigeria has a better chance at their plan than MS.
It all depends on the penetration of HDTV, and you can never go back from HD to SD.
I really hope they bring it to these shores as I really don't want to buy a 360. You would think that they might find it smart to do so during the JRPG drought.
Isn't this a bad idea for the guy? If Sony really wanted to track this guy down, they can instantly search for a guy in R&D in Foster City with that avatar. He really shouldn't go out of his way like that to prove himself, just ignore the people who don't believe him and just log back on come July 2nd.
I think he means you don't need a bunch of third party exclusives, you just need a few good ones.
I am really getting tired of how MS is reaching for their wallets so much these days, I hope Sony does the same as I miss the PS2 JRPG era.
The only people who thinks it is a fad are those who have not played it yet. Not many games make me reflect on our modern society after each session. If it is too confusing to follow, then you are either skipping through too many cutscenes or just not trying hard enough. And this doesn't even touch on the multiplayer component.

No, but the cons they've listed are pretty weak.
It's complaining that MGS still feels the same, when I'm sure it doesn't always make this distinction when reviewing other franchises. In fact, I've played through the first act and it feels quite a bit different thanks to the control tweaks and the new gameplay mechanics. Then it complains that it is now more action oriented, which feels like a contradictory statement. And let me just warn you all now that it is ...
@giantcrab
You're not one to talk.
But seriously, I think they will do what they did with MGS3 Subsistence, which was to put the main single player on Disc 1 and the then the multiplayer and extra goodies on Disc 2.
Yeah, who in the world ever focuses his complaint on glass breaking physics? Since when did that even become a core part of the game mechanics. I feel as if he got stuck on a boss for going in guns blazing on easy, which would cause the enemies's AI to be less ruthless and therefore seem a lil dumber. So he went back and just tried to do his review with what he had.
Does this include preorders?
Is there a missing link? I don't see anything referring to the 33GB, just the single character creation screen.
Yeah apparently it's not cool to want or need one. Well then, I am a geek and otaku.
If I ever look up the word hypocrite in a dictionary, I wonder if they'll put a Gamespot logo on it.
It's just an online magazine with some exclusive digital contents. It's like those old PC Gamer magazines that comes with exclusive new videos and demos on a disc, except now it is all in electronic form. And just like a normal magazine, it's not required and will not hinder your everyday usage.
It's amazing how the memory stays stable despite hours of browsing through dozens of tabs.
The key is to perform the update through a land line (ethernet) instead of wireless connection to ensure integrity of the new firmware. Or download it through a computer and feed it to the PS3 through a USB flash drive.
