Going into this console war, Nintendo's intent was to not compete with the 360 and the PS3. I guess that was just a cautious statement before the Wii release. The Wii admitedly is doing different things. Hardcore gamers love to hate it (it seems) because it taps into 360 and PS3 sales. Give me a Wii HD and I'm in. Until then, I can't bare to watch SD visuals on an HD screen.
Since PS3 is fully certified for DivX, you should be able to play .avi files right from your HD. I believe if this format is supported, the assumption is that you should be able to stream also. This is the difference between 360 DivX support and PS3 support. PS3 is play right from the source.
It seems like there is a 2 GB file cap. I've never had a file over 2 GB but then again, I haven't ventured into the world of movie rips.
Just wondering what file conversion utility you all use
[Idiot's comment] Poor Sony. For all their efforts and good work in getting the PS3's price down, getting the PSP more attractive and getting quality games like Uncharted onto the market, sometimes they just can't catch a break. November was one of those times. Sony's three platforms took up the bottom three places on the hardware charts. The PS3 was again outsold by the PS2. And to add insult to injury, the DS sold more than the PS2, PS3 and PSP combined. If you're Sony, then, how do you put...
laughable ... No N64 is laughable. Did I mention that 360 at 10 is laughable. Console is 2 years old. It has not proven anything. Its an absolute failure in Japan. Its overall a failure in Europe with only markets like NA and UK holding it afloat. I don't question the quality of the titles available. I do question the viability and the relevancy of the console in the next 3 years.
Would like to get user feedbakc on this.
Here's my problem. If the review doesn't take into the account the framerate stutter caused by quicksave functionality, would the score be an inaccrurate representation of the quality of the game. 1up.com is keeping mum on this but the boards are onto the video descrepancies.
There's still controversy from the first gamevideos comparison. Anyone know whether disabling quicksave makes a difference?
When playing, can you disable quicksave (a feature not on the 360 version). I'm wonder if that is the cause of the majority of framerate issues. If so, do you think the reviewers know this?
Get that bike scene without quick saving enabled and also the game installed on HDD?
The PSP and DS caters to 2 different types of gamers. There is room for 2 hand helds in the market. I would like to point out though, the need for quick gaming in the handheld world, which Nintendo has down. Quality software + no load time is a great thing. The back catalogue of GBA games don't hurt it either.
I'm very much looking forward to the next gen versions of DS and PSP.
Considering this is Sony's first venture into the handheld space, I consider it...
More like a ticking timebomb. The article is taking quotes from Sir Howard but remember the focus of Sony has Kaz mentioned during TGS. Software was the goal. Reducing the cost of the PS3 was also another goal. Engaging dev with improved PS3 dev tools is the goal. Unreal 3 is a example of this. A 399.99 PS3 is an example of this. The list of available software is an example of this. The queue for 08 is an example of this. Sony should be commended for their efforts. The simple fact t...
Zhuk, I think your missing the point. Having the 360 version of OBox developed by Valve makes a difference. Imagine Epic giving the dev of Gears to EA. A port does not proove anything. They did not optimize the Source Engine for the PS3 and this is the result. Going from Uncharted (0 load time) to this speaks volume of the need to optimize PS3 games. Given the timelines, not many have the time or money to do so. This has nothing to do with your claim of 360 superiority.

Getting it for my 360, and UT 3 for the PS3. Best of both worlds baby. Stop crying, start buying. If you have a 360 get a PS3. If you have a PS3, get a 360.
Wasn't this expected to a degree the second Gabe said that it wouldn't to the 'standard' of the 360 and PC versions? I'll be honest, I had hopes that EA would pull of at least a 9.0 effort. 8.4 isn't bad, but when compared to the 360 version, it fails. If the framerates improve through a patch, it might be a purchase once down in price but I don't see EA giving effort into this one.
Who's image does this hurt? Sony? Valve? EA? I think its more Sony.
I am for real dude. Sometimes I wonder where I get the time to finish COD4 on my PS3. Thanks for the feedback. I've been on this site for a bit to figure out troll vs non-troll. You are not a troll, much respect.
I expect the 360 nation to be on this thread and value their opinion. Why do they like their console? If you have your opinion, then state it. With all that the 360 does wrong (10 things), give me 5 so that you could help come to a conclusion on whether or not to keep it. And Pepper, I don't consider you a stranger if your a gamer like me. We already share one thing in common.
Give me 5 reasons why I shouldn't? If you doubt that I have a 360, look up my gamertag (sajj316). I only have time for one console since I have a baby on the way. Why should I keep it? What in 2008 should I be looking forward to knowing Sony's 08 lineup?
But then again, I thought taking Mario 3D was a mistake and Miyamoto shut me up. I'm a Capcom fan. I'm a 2D fan. I'm a huge StreetFighter fan. I just don't see how the series can mature in a 2D space. Maybe they take this 3D and keep the Alpha series for HD 2D. I'm ok with that. I think there is a lot of room for growth taking the series into the 3D space.
But unfortunetly gamers like Martha Stewart and Oprah Winfrey love the Waggle. For me having a Wii is like owning a Pet Rock. I don't know if some of you are old enough to remember that it is ...
