ps3

[slipknotpsycho]

well, i'm going to be getting one soon (unless this settlement falls through for some reason, the insurance company is offering me 4,000, but the lawyers are trying to get me more, so i'm kinda worried they may push to hard and the insurance compnay will say "fine you don't get anything")

i remember awhile back hearing a couple of things about them (negative) but i've done quite a bit of research..

1. all the games for it are shit...

no they're not... there's multiple games i am realy looking forwards to, resistance fall of man, motorstorm, full auto 2 battlelines, blazing angels squadrons of WWII, assasin's creed.. are just a few that really look intresting, then there's call of duty 3, lair, fear, and a few others... and i'm really looking forward to grand theft auto IV. and as of now, there are (or about to be very soon) 43 games on it... so it's not like there's only a couple.

2. you can't even play your playstation or ps2 games on it...

total bull... you can play both on your ps3... and all you need to be able to save and load your games is a memory card adapter... which isn't much...

3. the graphics aren't any better then on a ps2...

more bull... there's a couple of games (that i was able to watch demo videos to) that had amazing graphics.... one even looked damn near real (a f-1 racing game...) realisitic damage and smoke... (including parts flying off)


i will admit, i don't like the pricing of it much, and if it weren't for this settlement i wouldn't even be seeing one for well over a year...

btw, i would also like to point out (unless i'm wrong which i really doubt i am) you can't use BlueRay on an xbox 360... and it is my opinion (after watching this happen over and over and over) in a few years time, BlueRay is going to replace DVD's like DVD's replaced video cassette tapes, and CD's replaced cassette tapes... not to mention, BlueRay enables them to make some of the most detailable games so far (the audio on resistance is amazing, and unlike games now, the people in your sqadrons, say diffrent things, no repeating the same old few lines over and over throughout the game...)

imho, ps3 is an investment, and not for everyone (yet), while xbox 360 is a great competitor, but made more available to the general public (becasue of it's pricing)

(>.< don't even get me started on wii, when they come out with some decent non-kiddy games, then i'll give it the respect it 'deserves' but until then, to me it's nothing better then a gameboy color with motion sensitivity.. btw, that's not entirely knew i found out later, there's even an addon you can get for ps2 controllers that make them motion sensitive and is compatible with ALL games... http://www.gamestop.com/product.asp?product%5Fid=802593 you can buy it there for 20.00...)

I agree to a bit. If I were rich, I'd go with the PS3. And at this time, there are a few good games (nothing that even compares to gears of war though), but at the launch there was none. Also, GTA is no longer a sony exclusive series. They lost that fight. The next GTA will come out maybe a month or less for the PS3 than xbox. No more year long waits.
No doubt the video quality of the machine is awesome. Whoever says that the ps3 and xbox dont look any better than previous generations have never playes on HD.
One last side note, the 'motion' sensors in the PS3 and some PS2 controlllers can't hold a flame to the wii. The Ps3 can only 'tilt'. The wii remote can actually map the location of the controller in a 3d environment (not just tilting, but the relation of distance to the tv).

Enjoy your buy! I hope you luck out enough to get one

if all goes well i'll definately be getting one... i doubt anything will happen, but in my life everytime i've been getting my hopes of getting something it falls through, but this is pretty much set in stone i guess?

anyways, i'm definately going to enjoy it... and can't wait for it

Graphics in my opinion wear off. i remember when gran tourismo 3 came out for PS2 and everyone was amazed at how "real" it looked, and no one would mistake it for a real race now. I'm sure the same thing will happen with PS3 and in 7 years PS4 will come out and we'll be like "WOW, it looks so real" all over again.

Youtube is one of the most popular sites on the internet.... and look at how shitty those clips look.

the PS3 is deff. tight, with the specs, the realism of the games are going to be incredible, resistance is a great game, with a great storyline. the amount of data you can put on a bluray disc is a shitload, making the games look awesome, for now the Xbox 360 may have the edge because of price, and for how long its already been out, but in a year or 2 the Ps3 will blow it out of the water. whats the settlement from?

psychological suffering, or w/e they call it... from when my wife was hit by a car... our lawyer got her claim, and got me a claim... right now they're trying to pull more money out of the insurance people on my behalf, but i don't think it's goign to go much much higher.

The only game I'm really looking forward to is MGS4. I don't know why everyone here talks about graphics on a consoles when PC's have always been years ahead. Take a look at Crysis Here. Not even the PS3 can run this game on full (Note that these are actual screen shots). Also, don't judge a games graphics by demo videos. They're only meant to entice players, not show you actual game play. Sony has a history of doing this. Why not just wait until they price drops though? My uncle bought the $600 version, I just looked at him like he was crazy.

get a 360, why u may ask????


first of all ps3 is not to good, yah blue ray and all that but it has 256 mb of ram you cant really put to much action or it'll freeze. Now the 360 has 512. The new procesor for the ps3 is never used 100 percent, not very effective. Get a 360 its a glitch free system as of now. If you do get a ps3 wait at least 2 years when they have good games or when the price drops because right now its crap. That's why i bought a 360...

even tho i will be having a comp that could run most games decently.. (and that isn't an issue)

those are about ps3 graphics.. i mean they're not much better...


get a 360? no thanks.. i won't even ask you why so i won't bother reading the rest (although i will, cuz i just like to read posts... but it won't sway me, i'm getting a ps3 regarudless like i mentioned in the begining of this thread)

[slipknotpsycho]

and wait 2 years why? i already want over half the games ALREADY slated to come out this year... 2 years ain't gonna make it a better system.. by your logic i should wait 2 years because all of a sudden they're going to start making them better?? lol... nothing's gonna change..although i will admit, somehow they saw it appropriate to take the power of a ps2, and crap it down and cram it in a smaller case... i really wish i hadn't fallen for this new smaller crap, cuz i wouldn't be stuck with it right now.... no thank you, i'll take the first model that they test and retest that has never failed (me) then wait around so they can fidget with it some more and somehow manage to make it worse...

fuck microsoft.. i'll say it right out front.. i was trying to be nice to all the bill gates cock suckers out there... but microsoft has always stood for one thing... a handful of shit... i've never had one product come from microsoft that was worth a damn...

oh and i have experience... everyoen of my friends and even my brother decided to go start slobbing his knob when xbox came out.. what happened? they have over 30 damn errors in which if your'e not knowledgable in how to fix it (EVEN DOWN TO AN OUT OF BALLANCE HARD DRIVE.. IF YOU DON'T KNOW HOW TO TIGHTEN A FUCKIN SCREW!!!) you have to send it back...

what happened when 360's were first released? over thousands of their 360's had some critical damn failure in them, and the company was even trying to screw everyone out of a replacement and say "do not return them, you got what you got and you're just going to have to deal with it" and if you really.. (or antagonize me anymore) i'll go dig up all this fucking dirt and throw it right in your face... i mean i fyou want me to and all... if you think your product is so solid..

as for the claims of ps3 not using all of it's power... so? atleast our product will fucking work.. anyone who knows anything about electronics knows you don't go pushing a product to it's max... cuz once you do, you start dealing with failures and overloads.... anything running at it's max is a failure-timebomb just waiting to go off...

i'm yet to see 1,000's of unsatisified ps3 owners bitching at the company trying to return it because it doesn't work AT ALL... (and i mean straight outta the box.. not some user problems... all these failures i speak of are when it's bought straight from whatever store brought home, plugged in and realize it dont' fuckin work)
