It was expensive but people just couldn't see WHY it was at that price.

I don't know how many times I had to explain to people why the PS3 was over £400 at launch.

They couldn't see past the fact that with in-built Wifi, 2.5" HDD, Bluray player, HDMI & Optical outputs, amazing UI with the ability to store and play smoothly HD Videos/Photos with Free (even though basic) online gaming - all available at launch.

Wow they are really pushing 3D!

Seems they are pushing that more than Move.

Could 3D Youtube mean maybe a dedicated App on the way? Or improved web interface for PS3?

Guild Wars has a huge & detailed map with ALOT of different Landmarks/features in the different areas (Snow/Jungle/desert etc) not just the entire map being a desert or consisting of the same thing repeated over and over or something lol.

Thats not including the other lands of Nightfall or Eye of the North (which essentially almost doubles the size of the original map.

I was talking about if MS released the 720 soon, not in like 4 years time.

Usually when a new console comes out, the first gen games barely look better than the latest games on the previous gen consoles.

Maybe in 4 years time though, would show age, but PS3 games just keep getting more visually impressive, with no sign of "Maxing out".

I think the 360 will show it's age ALOT sooner than PS3 will.

If MS released the Xbox 720, I think the PS3 exclusives would be able to stand against it visually.

Not all PS3 games have jaggies actually, and there are new technologies to take care of AA using the SPU's of the PS3.

I don't know if you have played GOW3 or Uncharted 2, but I barely saw ANY jaggies at all.

Playing through Infamous for the first time, it is full of them, watching the new demo of Infamous 2 and it looks like they have 8 X AA along with higher-res textures and even better animations.

That just shows that as Devs cont...

No the Slim looks really cheap compared to the Fat (even though is quieter and cooler etc.)

The Fat PS3 looks Powerful and expensive, along with loads of added features like flipping the lid ontop to show memory card readers or turning the Playstation Logo if standing the console up etc.

It is totally worth the price-tag, I have never been one of those who cried about the PS3's price, because in terms of features/value for money - the PS3 was UNDER PRICED...

TBH I dont have a problem with them changing Cole.
I have just bought Infamous and while it is a good game, Cole just seems to have NO personality!

Nathan Hale barely speaks but he is still more of a "real" character to play who has a history as to why he is the way he is (barely speaks etc).
Cole is just...boring, sorry to say.

Maybe they should have just treated the new Cole as a totally separate character, then people wouldn'...

Because I would have thought Activision wouldn't allow IW to help other devs not owned by them and for MS to spit their dummy for Bungie to be helping with a PS3 exclusive lol.

Ye I was surprised at IW and Bungie helping !

You act as though having your 360S on for 18 hours and it not overheating or Red Ringing is some sort of accomplishment ?

I guess that's how bad MS Hardware is for people to be impressed of it not breaking after being on for 18 hours?

One of my mates leaves his PS3 on 24/7!!! It is barely ever turned off and it is NEVER idle! he always leaves a game running, even if he isn't in/not using it (lol I don't know why and have told him not to but he doe...

There are so many things wrong with what she did, I'm surprised she didn't get totally raped and get ALL of her money stolen haha.

I mean she doesn't know these men at all (all 3 of them), she invited 1 to drive over with her to an ATM machine to withdraw more money while he waited in the car...and then drove to the BACK of the store where it will be empty-no witnesses etc and she waited while they walked away with her cash.....there are so many things wrong with ...

I think they will lower the price to £79.99.

They havent started their TV campaign for Kinect (that I have seen) in the UK yet either, I'm sure it will be everywhere around launch date, fooling people into thinking it has no lag/really precise/innovative (like the Youtube Ads).

Wonder if Move will be more successful, I think it will be more people who already have a PS3 buying, until they show it working with Killzone 3 etc, then that would make thei...

Thats because the FW themselves are always so bare in features they bring...

Cant remember the last time we got an update that had a huge list of improvements that were being added, even if little tweaks like having the in-game xmb not go straight to friends list after going back from reading 1 message.

We only ever get updates with about 4 bullet points worth of new stuff, and 70% of...

Trimming was definitely there prior the update.

and Alpha is right they have just completely rushed this out for hits, no quality control or research etc done beforehand, makes them look amateur.

Anyway, this update is even more poor than I thought when reading it's contents!

There is absolutely not ONE single feature in the update I like or will use (except the Trophy Level...which looks out of place at the top right why not have it nex...

its not like it's a map pack lol.

Its just a bunch of extra features like auto-downloader and access to extra games etc...how exactly is that splitting users apart?

I have already seen about 5 adverts for the new 360 on TV today.

They are going to be spending like $100 million on Kinect's advertising.
(Hope people don't fall for it like the youtube ads that have actors playing something that is edited in later to get around the 2 second lag..)

5762d ago 11 agree4 disagreeView comment

Seems they have added the trophy level to the friends list too, or is that just for playsation plus ?

Sorry to say but the XMB is just full of useless icons for me now, this update will really make the XMB cluttered now.
Cant they have like group icons into categories or something in each column, like game saves category in the Game column that would expand into PS3/PS2/PS1 gamesaves etc.
