So pissed off to hear grand theft auto IV is only coming out for the Xbox 360.

[palerider7777]

that i can agree with.... BF2 being one of the tops.

and PR, someone wants to sell you a ps3 for 250?? are you sure there's not something wrong with it? i mean unless he bought it recently, he paid 600 bucks for it... i don't see any logical reason for someone to sell it for less than half of what they paid for it unless there's something wrong with it...

but if it is fine, shit i'd take it, hell i'd buy it now even tho i have a 60 gig of my own.... probably sell it on craigslist or something for 50+ dollar profit.

yea it's a friend i grew up with and he got it as trade with sum oz's of dro i don't know the whole story but he's not that into games like i am so he bought motostorm and said he did'nt like it and wants to sell it to me so he can put down on a boat he wants so i might get it but i was kindda waiting for the newer ps3 to come out.or atleast i thought i read sumwhere that a better one was coming out like the black 360 did with 120gigs in it??either way i might get it.

no it's not really better, the newer models won't have the EE chip, which means less backwards compatibility... not sure of the exact numbers but instead of like a 98% backwards compatibility it'll be down in the low 80's... (until sony puts out the updates for it, incaes you don't know backwards compatibility = meaning you can play ps2 and ps1 games on the ps3)

other then that it's just gonna have an 80 gig harddrive and come with motorstorm, for 600.... while motor storm is a great game, i don't really think motorstorm and an extra 20 gigs is worth it really...

i mean you can just buy the 20 gig and if you need a bigger harddrive you can put in your own... i posted it somewhere else..


Newegg.com - Buy Computer Parts, PC Components, Laptop Computers, Digital Cameras and more!


i mean there's an 80 gig harddrive for less than 40...

a 20 gig ps3 is like 450, so for 490 you can have yourself an 80 gig, then if you add in the other aspect of the premium(motorstorm), it comes out to 540, rather then 600....

but yeah the new higher end model is only gonna not have the EE chip (not sure why) 80 gigs and motorstorm.

there is one special edition ps3 with a diffrent case...

but it was only won through a contest that was open to canada only... too bad too, it looks so sexy =/


edit: oops forgot this one, not sure how it was obtained tho

The game is coming out for PS3 and Xbox 360, but users with Xbox live will be getting episodic content that will be exclusive only to the xbox.

read the thread, apparently so will ps3 users.....

so either way you go, you'll be getting exclusive content... (i really hope it's true too :S2: lmao... been the only real argument for GTAIV on 360 over PS3 so far....)

hey slipknotpsycho, whats up? I personally don't own any of the next-gen consoles but everypost I see from you spreads an unlogical biased opinion of the playstation 3. You seem to have nothing good to say about the xbox 360 even though its currently doing the best out of all 3 systems in the games category. Also like to point out that you say gears of war is the only game that almost impressed you? lol if that game only almost impressed you then whatever you say about any current ps3 games cant be anygood...but really what I don't get is why you defend a company soo much where they don't even know you exist? or care for that matter...meaning only defend a company if their system is actually doing good over another system in a debate...

then you're not looking..... i've said countless times they're both equal systems.... infact, i'm one of the few who will admit having a bias to a certain manufacturer, yet still say both 360 and ps3 are pretty much equal systems...

having said that, i don't really care how many people own a 360, or any product for that matter, just because more people own something does not make it the best in it's line...

first, although most xbox fans completely refuse the logic in the equasion it still stands.... 360 was out for a whole year before ps3... of course it's going to have more owners.... and more fans...

then, i've said it a hundred times before and i'll never stop... no matter what xbox fans say, it's still an extremely high portion of 'the better system' again, better does NOT = popularity, atelast for me.. better is quality, as it is for nearly any other thing in the world...

360's have a 33% failure rate... 1/3 will fail... what other product would anyone buy, that is widely known to have a 33% failutre rate?

would you buy a house built by a company that has had 1/3 of their houses fall to the ground/be condemned by the state, just becuase most people in the city use them? would you buy a car that that's known for it's 1 year, 33% break down rate, just becuase it has a very high sale rate? would you fly on a plane that has 1/3 of it's fleet drop outta they sky, just because it's cheaper then the alternative and most people use it? would you take a medication, even if you desperately needed it that has been known to kill 33 out of every hundred people who have taken it, just becuase it' scurrently the most popularly prescribed medication for your symptoms?

you can try and argue it's not the same thing, but actually it is...

and yes it is the only game to impress me thus far... ever other game is either on ps2/3, or PC, or it's nothing special, just a mirror image of other games on other systems

oh and as for "but really what I don't get is why you defend a company soo much where they don't even know you exist? or care for that matter...meaning only defend a company if their system is actually doing good over another system in a debate... "

all i can do is laugh... how does this have any standing? what you think M$ cares about you? all that fuck gates (who owns the company) cares about is money... that is why most type M$ rather then MS....

show me one MS product that showed M$ actually cared about it's customers, and took the steps to solve problems quickly....? i'll tell you right now, don't bother, cuz you won't find shit... they may solve problems, but it takes far longer then it should.... and it is a marketing scheme... (i mean do you honestly mean to tell me it takes nearly a year to produce a fix for it's products?)

they put out their product, and give it a long long time, for all of those who think "gee i just have to get this now, i can't wait til it's bugs are fixed" then way later, when sells slow down drasticly, they produce a fix (i.e. service pack) to get more people to think "well now it's fixed ima get it", oh but guess what? there are still numerous problems, takes them even longer ot come out with another fix, then they release it to guess what? draw in more people thinking the same thing as the 2nd group...

anyways, if you think i'm just a fan boy who has nothing good to say, you're not looking hard enough, look into the subject, i'm not gonna waste my time to post you 10+ links of where i've said they were equal and was crucified by xbox fanboys claiming the ps3 is a total peice of shit and 360 is once and for all supreme...

in short, get that 360 if you want to listen to everyone else... but don't bitch when it craps out on you, you have the facts infront of you... 360's have a 33% failure rate, both WII and PS3 have LESS than 1%...

and ps3 is coming up with the games.... the only reason this has anything to do with anything currently is becuase developers have had a year longer to put out games for 360... now everyone is comparing the games currently out like it's any indication.. you want indication fo better system?

judge the games out now for 360 to the games out for ps3 NEXT-YEAR...

NEXT-YEAR...

well i will say this, the reason people keep buying the 360 even though it has a 33% fail rate is because it's still a damn good machine. over say xbox iv's had 2 so far break on me and i keep all my stuff in mint cond. and i stoped playing the system altogether for about 6 mo because of the lag on xbox live but after they worked out all the kinks now it works great.and for me i love all the systems, as i love games i don't care who makes it iv'e always bought every system that comes out. sum at launch and to be honest the ps3 was the only one i have'nt pre ordered for launch pick up, i was gonna but ebgames fucked me over, + the weak launch titles that it had. so i was'nt like i have to have this now like all the others and the price was'nt a big deal for me. i still don't think it's alot of money for it as i remember my mom paying 50 bucks a game for atari games, and i remember paying 500 myself for a dreamcast at launch. well just about every system thats came out has been 400 or higher so 600 for all u get+bluray+ 60 gigs it's not high at all. i also remember paying 70+ per game for dreamcast games when it first came out. the only reason i don't have one is the lack of games and if it was'nt for rb6 i would'nt have bought a 360 at launch, as it had shit for launch titles as well. but i was so tired of xbox and the 360 was the first "next gen system" with bad ass graffix i was'nt gonna let that pass me by lol

My only take on it is that I just bought an XBox 360 Elite about 2 or 2 and a half months ago ONLY because it was 100 dollars cheaper than the best PS3 out, at the time. I've found now that the price of the PS3 is 500 dollars, the version I want, at least. So, I'm selling my XBox 360 for everything I paid for it to a friend on Saturday. The same day, I plan to go and pick up a PS3. I still have NO idea as to what games I should buy, but I want a PS3.

I've been with Sony since 1996, and even though I think the price was fucking LUDICROUS, I still think that Sony has the best machine simply because of the exclusives. In today's world, almost EVERYTHING is multi-platform. So, a platform has to stand exclusively on...well...its exclusives. I've never liked Halo, and any other game that is exclusive to XBox 360 is either not for me, or similar games can be found on the PS3.

I fucking hate Sony, only because a fucking billionaire company has to charge 600 bucks for a home console is absolutely ridiculous. In NO way does sony have to price them so high to make profit, which is why I'm glad they've lowered the price.

Go all games, because both consoles SUCK!

while i do agree, you do have to take in account it has a BluRay player, which contributes alot to the price.... just look up how much a stand alone bluray player really is...

ok fuck it ima just list all the games worth checking out
