"Microsoft's agenda at the moment is to make money..."
Holy balls! Really?! A company designed to MAKE money? Wait, wait wait... what is Sony's agenda? Oh yeah....
Everybody say it with me... TO MAKE MONEY!
Hell, that is my agenda. That is why I have a job. That is why I look forward to starting my own business. To make money. Call me crazy, but money REALLY can buy happiness.
I played Metal Gear Solid 3 on my PS3 this weekend. And I am pretty sure it didn't look this horrible on my PS2. Maybe I am spoiled from the 360 and the PS3's better looking games, but the amount of the video being translated into blocky looking graphics and artifacts was a little disappointing.
Not only does it not upscale old games, it makes them look worse.
Mart, please reread the article(with a little bit more of an unbiased eye):
The ORIGINAL Playstation wsa dubbed the big loser of launches(and it turned out horribly, huh?).
And the PS3 is reported to have launched with 13 games.
With the Wii having the worst "Next-Gen Launch" and the 360 having the best. But even that being said, you are seeing a lot of articles that suggest the Wii is more fun to play, and the PS3 is more frustrating... what do...
I have both the PS3 and the 360, and the 360 has a lot more to offer than just Gears. Why don't you take a break from your high Sony horse and come down and play with some of us simpletons. Have you tried Splinter Cell: Double Agents multiplayer, yet? What about Rainbox Six: Vegas? Just Cause? God forgive me... Viva Pinata? And those are just some of the most recent ones.
And my ol' standby of Halo 2 never gets old. Well, I guess I can't say never when Halo 3 comes out...
I've had my gun go off at random times during the game. For awhile, I thought I was resting my fingers on the buttons and inadvertently shooting. But eventually I took my fingers off, and sure enough, right as I was sneaking up on somebody... BLAM BLAM BLAM. Needless to say, that guy was alerted. It is pretty annoying.
The majority of the people are always right?
RIIIIIGHT.
Whoopdeedoo. You gave us weekly numbers during a launch week.
I am sure I could show you the exact same numbers when the original Xbox launched vs the PS2. There is ALWAYS an initial demand for a launch console. So the article doesn't prove a whole lot.
That being said, we know the 360 isn't selling well in Japan. And we know it isn't difficult for the PS3 to out perform the 360 in Japan.
But what happens next week when ZERO PS3's are sold be...
Until the holiday season is complete, the data is relatively inaccurate. The sales of the 360 DID slow down. That is a fact. When is the end point for their time period? The summer is always a slow point for new software, so it is also harder to sell consoles.
I am in the Navy, and our Exchange has had an ENORMOUS stack of 360's throughout the summer through October. I walked through yesterday, and they had 5 left. People are beginning to suck up the 360's with Gears of...
Bluetooth headset... let me check. Not in my house. Wireless Keyboard... sadly, no. EXTRA 2.5" hard drives? Are you kidding me? Are you Super Geek? I consider myself pretty damn dorky, but extra hard drives lying around?!
I have not bought any new things for my Xbox 360, and I have played easily and happily. The same can NOT be said for my PS3. I need to go buy a keyboard. I need to go buy a USB headset or a Bluetooth headset. Which are not cheap. I am hoping ...
Oh, I know... unfortunately, I know. Color me frustrated.
UNFORTUNATELY. In the waiting area for Resistance: FOM, it only offers text chat. So trying to chat ANYTHING to someone in your party takes about 5 minutes. Freakin' ridiculous. The keyboard is very useful even though it shouldn't be.
I had to coordinate a Resistance Custom game over my cellphone the other day. Now THAT is Next-Gen.
Wireless... true. And with the exception of the new headset, so what? Everything works great...flawlessly.
But this article was about USB devices. And if they come out with a wireless keyboard and wireless mouse? I will save those for my PC, not the gaming nirvana that is my 50 in HDTV with 360 and PS3.
Oh...wait. You don't NEED a USB headset with the 360. It will work with any cellphone headset. And wait, I can plug in an iPod? How proprietary. Wait, what do I really need a keyboard for if I have nice and easy voice chat throughout EVERY game. And I don't have some ridiculous cellphone keypad.
The Xbox Camera is the only proprietary device... and I guess the wireless headset...
So now I HAVE to go buy a USB Keyboard to type efficiently on the PS3. I HAVE to go...
This article actually hits the nail right on the head when it comes to the system. I am having a blast playing Resistance, but finding my friends to play with them is ridiculous.
I never thought that Xbox Live would have such a huge impact on my gaming opinion, but it has. I wish Sony would straight up COPY Xbox Live for the 360. It would help A LOT of problems. And without the ability to play in-game music(not a Live thing, but something I miss) and talk to my friends who are ...
If the auction reached 10,000, THEN they got the PS3. Read more carefully.
Dude, I am a 360 gamer... AND I have a PS3. They are not mutually exclusive.
But if you are talking about why all of the 360 fanboys come here, it is the same reason all of the PS3 fanboys post in the 360 articles:
They need to be reassured that they paid money for and are supporting the right console. It is called complete insecurity. If everybody just let go of all this built up aggression and just enjoyed games for the sake of enjoying games, this site would be a...
I have been vehemently pissed at my PS3. My wife pointed out that it is just me dealing with a different system than the 360. So I made a concerted effort to get involved with it tonight:
I am became a bigger fan of my PS3 tonight. I got into some Resistance games that were only 8 players, and they were a blast. I have gotten further into the Campaign and while the textures might still be an issue, I didn't have a chance to stop and gawk. The action got hot and heavy, and the...

I hope that this article turns out to be the real deal. Online Resistance is awesome, but that is about it for me right now. I have been looking forward to Motorstorm and the demo was disappointing to me.
Please, please, PLEASE be good!
