Yeah I think the problem was that the new screen is interlacing technology with a fast refresh rate, so you wouldn't normally see the problem with most games. But when you take pictures of stills, you get the interlaced lines compared to the older progressive screens.
I don't think there's anything wrong to own both systems (PS3 and 360), especially since it helps you understand the strengths of each system and its respective library. I just have too large of backlog with my PS3, PS2, PSP, and DS games to even consider another system.

Jeez man, just let it go. Unless you are a heavy investor that lost his/her fortune due to a potential stock drop from this, how does it even concern you?
On topic, this eastern Texas district seems to be where all the suits against Sony and Nintendo are coming from. The documentation says its the jury that ruled in Agere's favor but does not detail why and on which specific lawsuit.
Also getting the PS3 version here as well. Nothing against the 360 version, I just have the PS3 and enjoy playing that with my friends online.
It's bad to establish these kinds of stereotypes.
Awkward first sentence, but it sounds great. I hope I get an invite when they open up the beta more.
In the US for this holiday season. That's all the NPD numbers show.
This seems pretty contradictory to the recent earning reports from the major publishers that listed PS3 as one of their top sources of revenues.
I used to like his input, but I think this discussion highlights some problems. Making the assumption, with absolutely no empirical data to back it up, that only a million PS3 users play games online is pretty low for a professional analyst.
"This video pretty much sums how Home stacks up to XBL"
I think that's the problem with this discussion, it was suppose to be focused on PSN versus XBL, but all they talked about was Home. And instead of offering any useful conjectures for improvement, they simply dumbed everything down. Someone should have asked whether any of them are in the Home beta, or whether they have spent enough time on PSN playing games to get a real feeling for the experience. It is like bein...
Not only that, I seem to avg 250 kb/s for residential broadband connections. This would mean a two hour movie cannot be larger than 1.8GB, which is pretty small compared to even HD-DVD, much less Blu Ray.

"familiar with Blu-ray favor the format over downloading and streaming by a margin of nearly 10-to-1"
In other words, they simply need to have seen the difference for Blu Ray at a friend's house or some store. They polled over two thousand people, and found that those who are familiar had this preference. They can then use this data to encourage the Digital Entertainment Group to use more advertisement to spread awareness of Blu Ray.
@OnslaughtX
Definitely agree with you. I remember listening to Insomniac's full moon show's Brian Inthar (former member of 1UP) talking about how different it is working on a game. After being there for a month, he finally understands why developers don't do what reviewers/previewers always complain about.
@infamousXX87XX
IGN has its own problems. I like how they separate the editors to different teams, but their reviews aren't always non-controversial. For example, I just don't agree with how they rated Motorstorm 2 lower than Motorstorm 1 for not being as fresh. I firmly believe if game B is better than game A, it deserve a higher score.
I really wouldn't mind if they go away. I used to be such a fan of Gamespot when they were the only ones doing video reviews with Greg Kasavin. He used to review games as one of the few journalist who enjoyed them (e.g. rewarding DMC3 for being difficult enough as to provide a sense of accomplishments). The site has been slowly going downhill ever since the man left, eventually turning into a pile of cynicism.
Gamespot hardly brings any exclusives at all anymore. Their on the spo...
I'm hoping for them to be integrated into the south bridge of the motherboards. I still have nightmares of trying to add SATA, RAID, and firewire interfaces through PCI with all those driver issues.
@cherrypie
Why do you have so many zunes? I'm still using my old Sansa mp3 player.
It really depends on the perception of the consumer, most of whom are a) oblivious to the value of the PS3 compared to its competitors and b) a bit short sighted and can't see beyond the price tag, especially in this economy. It is difficult to blame them as the media is of no help (e.g. always downplaying the impact of Blu Ray and equating it to upscaled DVD), while MS touts its early lead and software prowess/mononpoly with several key alliances and services (e.g. Games for Windows Live). F...
@Fishy Fingers
I wouldn't think too much on it. Some people don't really read the articles, they just give a negative spin any titles with the word PS3.
Because they listen to the ignorant media and believe that upscaled DVD, HD streaming, and HD satellite TV comes close to Blu Ray. Knowing nothing about resolution, scaling, bitrate, and capacity, they just listen to so many of these editorials.
What are you talking about?
I'm just waiting for Xenogears (already out in Japan PSN) and FFVII.
