Since Sony would never even fully own up to the problem--even after they had a class action lawsuit against them--we don't know the exact numbers. But anecdotal reports pegged it at around 30%. It seemed like half the people I knew with PS2s had DRE issues at some point or another. About a quarter of the people I know actually had to buy more than one PS2. It almost seems like some of you are kids who are experiencing their first generation of gaming.

I honestly couldn't care less if it comes on one disc or 5. That has absolutely no bearing on which version I will buy. You simply don't change discs often enough for it to be an issue. If you had to switch a disc every 20 minutes it might be an issue, but not if it is every 10 hours. PS3 fanboys are making a mountain out of a molehill. Nobody that actually has an Xbox 360 even cares.

In any case, I would rather switch disc every 10 hours than have to wait for mandatory installs...

I own MGS4 and Uncharted and I have played GT5P and none of those games look as good as Gears of War 2 (PSN ID = psykosonikninja). PirateThom, do you even own an Xbox 360? Have you even played through Gears 2? I doubt it, because if you had you couldn't sit here and try to claim that those games look better than it. Gears 2 is the best-looking console game available at the moment. From what I have seen of the KZ2 beta I would say it pretty much equals Gears 2 (even though they have diffe...

You are an idiot fanboy to the max. Gears 2 is the best looking console game I have ever seen. If you think Gears is "nothing special" you have your head up your arse. Truly.

Having the option to copy a game to your hard drive is GOOD, being forced to partially install a game to your hard drive just to be able to play it is BAD. When are people like you going to understand that? Probably never, as your PS3 fanboy egos can't take it.

There isn't going to be a difference, fanboy. If someone is too lazy to get up off the couch every couple days of playing the game, they've got serious problems. Switching discs is a non-issue.

Foxgod is right. I'm an RPG guy and I'm sorry but the 360 has a lot more RPGs than the PS3. I have a PS3 and most of the RPGs for it are either late ports of games that were already on the 360 (Eternal Sonata, Oblivion, Enchanted Arms, etc) or pseudo-RPGs (like Disgaea 3 and Folklore). Valkyria Chronicles is the first good RPG that can't be found on the 360. Oh and you guys are completely wrong about Lost Odyssey, it is an amazing game and one of my favorite JRPGs of all time.

It comes out at the same time in Europe and North America, so everyone but the Japanese will be playing it at the same time. Awesome.

I have subscriptions to several gaming magazines and I frequent lots of game sites and this is the first time I have ever heard someone say that the PS3's controller is better for shooters. I have heard over and over from countless sites and magazines that they thought the 360's controller was better for shooters. I think this gamer.blorge guy is approaching it from too much of an abstracted angle and only seemed to look at the dead zone size and the resistance of the analogue sticks. But tho...

I agree to a point with what you said about being used to the design of the PS3 controller, but how far are you going to take that? I mean, next generation are you going to be mad if Sony changes the design of the controller for the PS4? After all, by that point you will have been playing on that same controller for 3 generations and you'll be even more used to it. If your reasoning is correct you guys will want to stick with the same controller for the PS4 simply because you are used to i...

When you say "I will always prefer the PS3 controller" are you saying that you hope that Sony will stay with it for the PS4 and onward forever? Are you saying that it can't be improved?

I think the DS3 is a pretty good controller, but I like the 360 controller better and think that it is the best controller ever made. But I still think that there are things that can be improved on the 360's controller.

The graphics look nice, but I am getting really tired of how much people overhype them. KZ2 has great real-time lighting and post-processing effects (e.g. depth of field, motion blur, etc.) and a nice clean aesthetic. The art design went for a realistic look and that combined with the aforementioned lighting and post-processing effects gives the game a very nice look. But there are definitely negatives, such as the generally low-res textures (minus the ground textures) and all in all I still ...

You don't even own an Xbox 360 so I'll take your comment with a grain of salt. I do own a PS3 and a 360 and I stand by my comment: Gears 2 holds its own against Killzone 2.
Gears 2 is easily the best looking console game I have seen up until now and it does some things better than Killzone 2 (its textures for one thing) and Killzone 2 does some things better than Gears 2 (lighting for example). They both look amazing, in any case.

Oh, and the reason I brought up Crysis i...

Well, if they are biased at all, it is clearly in favor of the PS3 judging by the high scores they have given to almost all PS3 exclusives this year and generally low scores to many 360 exclusives. Let's see...they gave LittleBigPlanet a 9.4, MGS4 a 9.3, MotorStorm 2 a 8.6, and Resistance 2 a 9.1, while they gave Fable 2 an 8.6, Too Human a 6.5, Banjo Kazooie a 6.7, and Ninja Gaiden 2 an 8.4. Yep, sure is a lot of anti-PS3 bias there...um..not. From my perspective, they scored a couple of ...

Yes, only we who own both consoles know that all of those video comparisons were spot on. The only problem with their videos is their poor quality and small size. Look, I own both consoles (ID & Gamertag is psykosonikninja) and many PS3 multiplatform games do look softer and have less saturated colors even when using the full RGB setting. Games like Fracture, Lego Indian Jones, Battlefield BC, and Grid all show this difference. It's not like gametrailers' videos are the only ones that...

You guys are so pathetic for implying that MS are buying off reviewers when you don't have a single shred of evidence other than your own twisted view of reality which makes you think that PS3 games should never get anything but high scores. Most of you don't own an Xbox 360 so you just assume that what you are playing on the PS3 is the greatest thing ever and that reviewers are just being bought off if they give a 360 game a better score than a PS3 game. In your minds, it could never be th...

@ James Vanderbeek

You're so funny. Gamespot, gametrailers, and Eurogamer are biased? Tell that to tortella and OmarJA above.

It seems that if it serves the purpose of making a PS3 game look good suddenly those sites are the most important review sites on the internet. Ha, ha...

BTW, none of those sites are biased. Only silly fanboys say so.
