PS 3 owners

[H3rtz]

so, who is now an owner of a ps 3?

[PMS Kahlo]

Honestly, I think most people who waited for one are going to be selling it on ebay. :p

[r33hash]

Average going rate on Ebay at the moment is right around 3000 bucks.

One is up to nearly 5000 bucks now.

[Killer Klown]

WOW......Thats a bit much dont ya think....Im sticking with ma Xbox:D

[r33hash]

My roommate spotted a PS3 going for nearly 10,000 bucks. One had almost 40 bids and was at 3,500 bucks.

[Apoth3osis]

so, who is now an owner of a ps 3?


Does anybody have one?

[Shiankhi]

I dont. :D

[!NiKKiTa'Lea]

They bought it just to sell. thats sad, for the ppl who wanted to buy one to play. those ppl selling it should have been hacked or have thier house raided by the needy. my 10 cents on it

[H2O Senotoku]

I want one

[Pencilposer]

Awww the beauty of capitalism, Oh and dont raid my friends's place, I told him to sell his PS3 at the starting rte of 1500 on a bid and buy out for 4k, I think he told me it was at 2300 by the end of last night

haha. yeah i got one. and yeah, it's going on ebay lol.

[Rip]

Probably want to get it sold on e-bay quick before the market has a chance to actually get a few more units in.

[VballChick PMS]

ya all the people around me were in line for like 2-3 days and most of them wanted to just sell it on ebay and someone got shot for one and a bunch of riots and stuff for them were going on its nuts

[H2O SkywalkerX]

i want one :(

[BOSCH]

I've got one and no I'm not selling it. My roomies have been trying to get me to sell it since the day I reserved it, but I refuse.

I just wanna play. :)

[enyork]

Screw yall who want to sell it on ebay. Not true Sony fans.

I've got one and no I'm not selling it. My roomies have been trying to get me to sell it since the day I reserved it, but I refuse.

THATS WZUP!!!!!!!!

[Nikki Bella]

Yeah, but if you sold it like we told you to you could buy at least 15 PS3s if you wanted to! Don't lie, you were tempted. Haha.

[H2O SkywalkerX]

Screw yall who want to sell it on ebay. Not true Sony fans.



THATS WZUP!!!!!!!!

spoken like a true fanboy.

no offense, but some people really need that money, some people who sell it are selling it because they truthfully need the money.

just because they are selling it doesn't mean they aren't a "sony fan" i love the ps3, if i could have one right now, i would, but there's no way i would pass up that much money, seeing as im poor and actually need the money. but i didn't even get that chance so w/e.

[sype]

do you realize how much of a kick *** pc you could get for 3000 dollars? People are dumb.

[Rip]

do you realize how much of a kick *** pc you could get for 3000 dollars? People are dumb.
People buying it on ebay probably don't think about that, in fact my guess is that many of them already have an incredibly amazing PC so its not an 'x or y' they can be like 'me want want want'

[SuperSaiyan4]

Why would anyone want a PS3 when the 360 is better for gaming especially since it has better games, better online, far superior GPU for visuals AND not only does the 360 look far better it has a far better pad with rumble. Also the 360 gives you a better choice of everything. What does a PS3 offer? Nothing.

[suZe PMS]

My suggestion...wait till the price goes down. persoanlly, I think that there are a lot of reasons why a person should wait:

1. price - over 600 dollers or more if on ebay
2. high demand product - hard to get hands on
3. 360 has a larger library of games
4. Better library of games for the 360

formost...
5. we dont know what to expect from sony's new system. Unsure about the quality of their online services...Unlike 360 in which everyone swears is the best...

Sony's name has been dragged through the dirt lately...everything from batery recalls for their laptop pcs to copy protection on their media discs that screw with coputers. They havent been working up to the standards that the general public expects a name like sony to have.

[r33hash]

Oh trust me. If I had my hands on a PS3 right now, I would definitely throw it up on EBay.

I could pay off all my credit with an extra 2000 bucks right now. That'd also give me a good start on saving to go visit Ellie.

go back to your xbox/xbox360 forum. you haven't even played the ps3, and i'm guessing you know nothing about the hardware of either system.

ok, 360 has better games, well no ****, the ps3 just came out! are you stupid? the 360 has been out for a year and is just NOW getting decent looking games. think before you speek. you do NOT know if it has better online, you haven't played it online, you can't say "well i think mcdonald's french fries are better than dairy queens, but i haven't ever tried dairy queen" (bad example but you get it). in my opinion, the ps3 controller is soo much smoother and way more relaxing, i could hold and play the ps3 controller for hours on end. and the missing rumble, whatever, i dont care about that at all. 360 gives you a choice to buy a $300 system where you can't do anything with it, great choices. they give you a choice to buy the $99 wifi adapter, they give you a choice to buy the $199 HD add-on. great choices, have fun getting ripped off. PS3 offers so much, how bout you get the stick out of your *** and actually read about it rather than being a stupid fanboy idiot "ps3 sucks, i don't know anything about it, but it still sucks"

stop making so many assumptions about it, it is a good system, i'm sure everyone will agree with me on that, maybe to some it's not worth $500 but i'm sure eventually, you know when it has time to shine, people will definatly want it.

[X QuikSilv3r X]

Overall the Ps3 is a much stronger system then the 360, and does offer alot right out of the box (i.e blue ray player,hdmi ports, etc) i dont really care about the rumble feature on the controller considering i shut it off anyway but im not a big fan of the droped L2 and R2 buttons, they feel a little flimsy and cheap. The six axis feature is a good idea but i find it kinda useless in some of the games (i.e nba 2007).

I think the reason of alot of 360 owners bash on the Sonys online services is becasue sony did it so bad on the ps3, with constant cheaters and hackers, not to say that microsofts services dont have it's flaws you can find cheaters on XBL i kno i did all the time on Halo 2, but it was alot more prominent on the ps2 online then it was on XBL.

As for the games u do have a obvious point the system DID just come out so no1 should expect much of a comparision the the 360 as for being "ripped-off" that is a PERSONAL choice for me Hd or Blu ray has never ment anything to me im a GAMER i dont plan on getting a $600 system to watch movies as a matter of fact i didnt get my 360 to watch movies on it.

I'm not at all hating on the Ps3 like i said it's an AMAZING powerful system but as for right now i dont plan on getting one not because of the price tag but rather because i want to see what sony has planed for the futer, what they have now as far as games goes DOES NOT impress me as a gamer

Stop being a fan-boy Luke. Lose the attitude, just because you don't like what he has to say, doesn't mean you have to /cry. Honestly, they each have their higher points, but I would never spend more then 250 dollars on a system, sorry, there are better thing's I could buy.

[CajunH2O]

Ive played PS3 and I have no love for it. So the graphics are better(in some cases) whoopty doo. graphics mean nothing. Sony has gotten cockier and cockier the past few years, and now that Microsoft has made a good system, Sony rushed out the PS3. And Im not saying they wont be able to rebound, but it will be hard, especially after all the screw ups and sttitude Sony has had, on EVERYTHING as of late. Sony needs to learn they dont need to try and be the best just give gamers a good time just like Nintendo does. Offer us a good service like Microsoft does. Ive said it before, yes Sonys online was free with most games, but you get what u pay for.....NOTHING. Sony has gotten too cocky as a company for my tastes and it shows in recent products and treatment of their supporters.

[Apoth3osis]

Omg it seems like everything these days are graphics, graphics, graphics. Sure, pretty graphics are sweet, but how about some next gen gameplay? So far, pretty much everygame out right now is just a game that could have been done last gen, but with higher res graphics, more powerfull physics engines or what have you. Both the 360 and the PS3 are incredibly powerfull systems, so lets see some games that utilize that power for something more than purty graphics (not that purty graphics are a bad thing ;) ).

P.S. Sure, the PS3 is way powerfull, but lets see that potential used... thats all i gotta say.

Sony did not rush it.

YEs SOny did rush it. Read the facts pal, the stand alone Blu Ray player wasnt released yet because they are still having issues with. The PS3 battery is having issues. Even Sony has stated(wish I had bookmarked the interview) that the PS3 could have used more time in production to iron out some continuing bugs, but they didnt want to miss another holiday season with both Microsoft and Nintendo both out. Combine that with the fact the ames ppl should have had at launch are still in production. MGS 4 or FF XIII would have been sweet at launch, but alas no go, because system was launched prematurely.

[BOSCH]

Ah, you guys are ridiculous. Just everyone play games and have fun. This stuff really takes the fun out of it. :|

True that

[Blue]

Then avoid the forums based apon new and next gen system's, because this is what your going to get, so get used to it.

As for what Cajun has said, he is very right, it was rushed. Notice how the 360 wasn't released with the HD-DVD player that it was supposed to be released with, you think maybe that has to do with, very few players being on the market, and not many companies back it, just like Blu-Ray. But unlike Micro. Sony pushed it out to appeal to the fan's before the holiday's instead of waiting, and releasing a solid system. So for now, they fail, and have to throw their tails in between their leg's, and run, because they didn't take the time to continue to work on it, and release solid games with it on release day.

Im going to have to agree with both Blue and Cajun, I dont't think the market is ready for Something as expensive as a Blu-Ray player or even HD-DVD(notice how 360 gave u the option), yes the picture quality maybe amazing but like Blue said not to many companies are backing eaither of them up. As for Sonys "launch line up" it was VERY weak alot of the games they said where gonna be launch where eaither pushed back(i.e Motor Storm) or are no longer exclusive and where pushed back anyway( i.e AssAssins Creed which by the way was NEVER a ps3 exclusive, they lied to you:) )

Idk i dont think Sony is going in the right direction with it's PS3, i mean how many Gamers find that having a Blu-ray player or even a HD-DVD player is a selling point? i kno not for me, as a gamer the most important thing on any system launch would be the launch tittles not a six-axis controller.

I myself am not sayin g I <3 360!!! cause the truth is i own 3 ps2's and about 150 games for my ps2 (don't believe me ask for a picture) but after comparing ps2 online vs. XBL we all kno who the winner really is

[PMS HateMaker]

To those of you who got your PS3's and are playing them: I'll see you dudes around Feb/March for some awesome gaming action!!!!!!!!!!!

To those of you here to argue Microsoft vs Sony: you guys are retarded.

i love how everything you have to say to me is trying to bash on me. if he actually had some valid points, then sure i would respect his opinion, but in a nutshell his post was xbox360 is better, ps3 sucks. no reason as to why, no points as to why, just that. you wouldn't spend more than 250 on a system yet you want a 360? hmmm...
it is cool that you call me a fanboy, however i am not, yeah i do like the ps3 better, and i do believe it has way more potential, but for what the 360 does for me (community, friends, live, etc.) it is a good system. but for an amazing single player experience, as well as some decent online play, i'll be looking towards the ps3

i agree, it was rushed. and if it was pushed back, it could have less bugs, but it had to be out for this christmas season, everyone knows that.
360 would have had the HD drive if it would have been ready, and M$ would be taking the loss as sony is right now.
none of this gen's launch games have been solid. the wii games are decent, zelda is really the only good thing on that. 360's launch was a bunch of ports and junk. same with ps3, a lot of ports, and a IMO good exclusive, R:FoM.


all of this doesn't even matter, March 07 is going to be the month to own a ps3, and trust me, it will be THE system to have by the end of next year.

To those of you who got your PS3's and are playing them: I'll see you dudes around Feb/March for some awesome gaming action!!!!!!!!!!!

To those of you here to argue Microsoft vs Sony: you guys are retarded.

true that. also a lil off topic, i'll be sending you my mentor application soon, thanks again for helping me :)

[Rip]

Actually the hard drive wasn't due to manufacturing delays or anything, it was an attempt to allow a lower cost version for the public. Unfortunately I think that time has proven this to be a mistake, and I think in the long run they'll eventually only produce them with the HD because it does limit such functionality.
R:FoM i'll be honest, i'm not impressed with, thats probably because compared to the stuff out on the 360 now its just a 'meh' title. The 360's release wasn't spectacular either, although I'm partial to PGR3, but it didn't have huge titles. Arguably the wii has had the best release, but only time will tell how well all the systems sell.

[asphix]

I dont see anything in the launch lineup for the Ps3 that made me desire one enough to invest the $600. That will probably change in about a year.. maybe less.. maybe a little longer.. we'll see.

What I do find amusing is the plethora of people who have 0 ebay experience, 0 experience as entrepreneuers, see auctions on ebay going for over $1,800 and are wetting their pants over it. They waited out in front of stores for 2-3 days in order to sell it on ebay and now they're eating their feet.

Hopefully with this, people will have more of a general idea as to how ebay works, the art of schill bids and the ability to look at auctions with some scrutiny instead of just the listing price, starting price or auctions boosted by said schill bids.

The systems that sold for more than $2,000 after the pre-order rush were a dime a dozen (meaning cases where the item was actually paid for). Tons of bots setting up false bidding wars. I could come up with tons of reasons as to why.. to hamper the competition? anger at having people deluded by dreams of a quick profit that makes no logical sense waiting in line for insaine amounts of time and forcing honest gamers to forego their opportunity to attain a device they've been waiting for.. i could go on and on. Sorry people, this auction is not legit and no.. he didnt get paid:

http://cgi.ebay.com/Playstation-3-PS3-60GB-Free-Overnight-Shipping-Blu-ray_W0QQitemZ150059269467QQihZ005QQcategoryZ62054Q QrdZ1QQcmdZViewItem

Fact is, anyone who waited for days for an "OMFG 3k PROFIT!!!1!!1!!" is now finding they're only making tops $300 or so after auction and paypal fees. Thats $6.26 an hour they just made. Pretty amusing if you ask me :D

[r33hash]

lol asphix. this is why i like you so much.

[SuperSaiyan4]

Oh I dont know anything about either system? Emm interesting? You want me to go into ALL the technical details on the CPU's and GPU's? And their individual capabilities?

Most of the people out there don't know even half of what I know since I like to look into electronics and gaming by going right into all the technical information.

The PS3 has been reviewed online and has already been said to have problems - RED LIGHT OF DOOM, HDMI issues, poor online setup and the controller isnt that great either.

On a pure technical stand point of graphics the Xbox 360 can exceed the PS3 on visuals immensly since its ATi Custom GPU the XENOS has been built from the ground up using 10mb onboard EDRAM to give only 1% performance loss whereas the PS3 uses around 20% of its CPU or 1 of its SPE's just for the interface.

Also since the 360 GPU has HDR+AA, Multi texturing and with features just seen recently on the new NVIDIA 8 series GPU the 360 is ahead of its league and way ahead of the PS3 RSX that is similar to the 7 series Nvidia GPU.

Also with the 10mb EDRAM onboard it can as you should all know by now free 4xMSAA with 1% performance hit thats all. It can also technically offer better 1080p than the PS3 as well because of the 10mb onboard EDRAM.

But what is all the technical specs if the console doesnt offer the gamer games right? Well thats the thing the 360 yes has been out longer but overall it can clearly be seen as the better choice for gaming since Sony are losing pretty much all of its exclusives - Fatal Inertia anyone? Coming to 360 as well now.

I am not a fanboy of any product I like to see facts and see how a company is coming across in what they say and I can say this, Sony have said soo much rubbish its unfrinkinbelievable!!

Microsoft are confident, have great killer APPS like Fable 2, Forza 2, GoW, Halo 3, Mass Effect, Lost Planet and many many more.
They also have the best selection in add-ons - Wireless Force Feedback steering wheel anyone? HD-DVD player gives the gamer choice to go into next gen movies if they so wish.

corporate, don't quote me, your just like supersaiyan.

Why will March 07 be the month to own a PS3? For what reason? Microsoft will have tons of killer apps by March and even more by the end of the year, can you say HALO 3?

[r33hash]

Now, lets not cut short here.

Can you say:

Halo 3
Mass Effect
Alan Wake
BioShock
Forza 2
Fable 2
Not to mention to downloadable movies, TV shows, trailers, etc that will be made available

[SuperSaiyan4]

I dont want to sound like a fan boy but I do prefer Microsoft more because they offer me the gamer exactly what I want in the way of games.

When I see what Sony are doing with the PS3 it is not only disturbing everytime they speak its also amazing on what they do and show...Its always a shambles.

For those that want a PS3 get a PS3 but just note one thing...It is NOT better than the Xbox 360 graphically and never will be, denying that is like denying your very own existance on this planet.

[H2O Tyrant Sparda]

i want one :(

i got one, OH YA!!!!!!! YA BABY YA!!! and it was so easy to get one here where i live, i went like a week after they came out and they still had two, lucky ducky me:D :D :D i will post a pic of it soon.

take out alan wake and bioshock, both PC games, and both easily better for PC. not to mention the rentals on the video marketplace that you spend more when you could just go and rent them.

Not quite so fast skywalker, while the G80 might be able to push out alan wake better than what the 360 can (and the R600 upon release), you'll need vista for DX10 and a $500+ graphics card to do so, so i wouldn't take those games off the list.
As for the video marketplace, the difference is that you don't have to move your lazy bum to grab it haha. Not that i'm endorsing that, but that is the advantage. I don't think i'll be using that feature at all though.

On the other side demos are completely free on the 360, that is a huge bonus with how they're distributing that.

[SuperSaiyan4]

Not quite so fast skywalker, while the G80 might be able to push out alan wake better than what the 360 can (and the R600 upon release), you'll need vista for DX10 and a $500+ graphics card to do so, so i wouldn't take those games off the list.
As for the video marketplace, the difference is that you don't have to move your lazy bum to grab it haha. Not that i'm endorsing that, but that is the advantage. I don't think i'll be using that feature at all though.

I agree with Rip, some people are soo quick to say the PC is better.

WOO HOO! I am :) I got it about a week ago, and thank goodness I didn't have to wait in line or get it online for over the actual price. Because even though I'm a fan of Sony and gaming in general... I'm not tryin to get shot or jumped while waiting for my PS3... LoL.

did you have the option to get the 60gb version?

[Rip]

In terms of price compared to what you get skywalker, I still doubt that will be the case. Even a 7800 (the equalivant hardware wise of what is in the PS3, and who's actual performance will never get close to what PS3 can achieve because it isn't a closed box environment) still costs 2/3 of the price of the console, not to mention if you want a PC that can get anywhere close to it, even in a year you'll be shelling out well over a grand. I guarantee you that until about 4-5 years down the line you won't actually achieve better GAMING price performance on a PC. Having said that, PCs are capable of doing a ton of other things at the same time, so overall price / performance is really subjective on an individual basis. But really, the cost on a PC, as well as the time it takes to get everything working, is prohibitive compared to the consoles out there. And of course we don't know which PC games will actually be FUN.

[SuperSaiyan4]

Just to say a PC to run a game better than the 360 you would need a $1500+ Gaming rig for a start yes some how some people are able to get uber spec systems very cheap so lets say around $1000 then.

The other thing is as Sony fans go pay their $500-£600 on a PS3 the funny thing is their graphics chip is way past obsolete so they will never have better visuals than an Xbox 360 - you bought a 'COMPUTER' not a 'GAMES CONSOLE'
Its just a media hub.

Ah also whilst the PS3 has more processing power this means nothing if the developers cannot get games that look or play any better than the 360.

Finally did you know it costs developers 5x more to make games on the PS3 in comparison to the PC? And 3x more to make games for the 360 than the PC?

So if games cost 2x more than a PS3 and it cannot visually surpass the 360 what is the point? Hence the cross platform games, the 360 will generate better sales allowing the devs to recoup some of the costs I guess since the PS3 is going to be a failure along with blu-ray.

[Krysolac]

the ps3 looks interesting i would try it before i buy it. i wonder if it has had any problems like when the 360 came out

[B1ueberryYumYum]

i got 1 n love it

[MISTR3SS]

I just got mine today! woot woot .. I love it with all my heart and the games to come.... is anyone on Resistance?

Is our clan on that game>?:D

MISTR3SS_PMS is my name on PS3


Hold.em and I both got the 60 G ps3 woot woot
we put money down on rainbow 6 and killzone woot woot

[CombatQueen]

I bought mine a week ago. I have Resistance and rented Genji,reserved VF5. Its okay so far,I am sure it will be more worth the $800 I spent at first on it later on in the fall when more good games come out for it.

My tag on the ps3 is the same on here CombatQueenPMS.^_^

[l F0CUS l]

You could by a Wii and an Xbox for the same price as a PS3!!! Thats what I would do...

But anyways, I tried it out, first is so loud, it amazed me, and the controllers feel so uncomfortable compared to Wii and 360...

[PMS HateMaker]

Ugh my PS3 purchases (we have to get 2: one for me one for hubby) just got pushed back a month or so. We got less tax money than I anticipated. Ah well....at least we're getting a brand spankin' new video card lol.

Armored Core 4 looks freakin' sweet to me and that will probably be one of the first games I get for my new PS3. I also like the look of Assassin's Creed.

[PMS Unique]

To those of you who got your PS3's and are playing them: I'll see you dudes around Feb/March for some awesome gaming action!!!!!!!!!!!

To those of you here to argue Microsoft vs Sony: you guys are retarded.


It's not retarded to have a civil debate about the strengths and features of each system, of course a couple of the posts have stretched the limits of civility.


Sony will probably end up outselling MS this gen, but it's gonna take ALOT of time. I think that this will happen only because there are soooo many more Sony fanbois than MS fanbois out there, and because of the misconception that the PS3 is a more powerful gaming machine.


I say it's a misconception for several reasons.

1. The cell may be a more powerful processor, but it was designed mainly for multimedia not for gaming. It's also going to be ALOT more complicated to code for, so it will be near the end of the PS3 life cycle before developers are able to milk it for all it's worth.

2. Once developement for the cell has been mastered, there will still be substantial limits to the graphics capabilities of the PS3 because the way memory was handled. Both systems have 512M of memory, but in the PS3, 256M is strictly dedicated to the system and 256 is strictly dedicated to graphics processing. In the 360, that 512M is fluid, so if a game needs more than 256 for graphics, it can have it.


It's going to be a much tighter race this go around because there will be much fewer Sony exclusives. Game developement costs are skyrocketing, and developers don't want to limit themselves to one console. The 360 has a huge head start in sales, and is likely to maintain that lead for some time to come. It is unlikely that the PS3 is going to come down in price enough to entice the casual gamer any time in the near future. I think it will be another year at most before we see a decent price drop in the 360.

Yes, PS3 will probably come out the leader by the end of this console cycle, but it won't be the huge lead they had at the end of the last cycle. This is a great thing for all gamers; Sony, MS and Nintendo fanbois alike. Healthy competition is what spurs innovations that will be good for all of us.

a warning to ps3 owners. I uploaded the new update,then started to download it to my HD,after a mintue it went to a blank screen. I tried to reset it several times,called up Sony and they tried several things. So now my ps3 is officially broken due to the update and I have to send it back in,thank goodness its under warenty and they do exactally like the xbox-free shipping and they send another one in 7-10 business days.

so I would check with sony if they have had any other problems with upgrades and frozen systems. thought I would share this with you guys

Ah a girl after my own heart.

However number 2 is incorrect.

Sony stated some time ago that they will be using the total 512mb available the problem here is bottlenecking with speed - CPU ram is 3.2ghz and the GPU ram is 550mz I believe respectfully.

Also in respective of what I just read the other day Xbox 360 dash including friends list uses max 32mb of the ram in the 360 which is 512mb the rest can be used by the developers.

In the PS3 the interface and friends list uses a total of 96mb of ram so less total memory is available for devs to use.

No amount of memory unless software rendered is going to make the PS3's visuals surpass the 360's this is because in the 360 the GPU uses DX10 based technology i.e. multi texturing, unified shader, HDR+AA.

The CELL is interesting and you put it correctly - it isnt designed for games its complete overkill and the devs have on many occassions admitted that it is difficult to code for.

At the end of the day the games will sell the consoles and looking at the release list for the 360 with games like Forza 2, Mass Effect, PGR4, Lost Odessy, Blue Dragon, BioShock, HALO 3 I think this year alone is going to BOOST 360 sales.

In any case I do not see many people posting here of late what gives?

because no one cares what you post. you are an idiot. go back to your 360 forum thread and stay out of the ps3 thread. OBVIOUSLY we like the ps3, and not some idiotic "supersaiyan" is going to change our minds.

[Shadowdawn]

I honest to Goddess do not understand this console "bashing" stuff. I have both the 360 and ps3. Why? because each console has games that I absolutely love and think are beautiful. Why bother trying to convince people that the console they love is horrible for this reason or that, just leave them be.

[CombatQueen]

I do have to admit Sony gave me real good service for repair it took ONE DAY to get another ps3 to my house!! I sent off my ps3 by UPS this last mon-got a note on my door Wed saying UPS tried to drop off a package much to my suprise. I got another ps3 last Thur and it works great. ^_^

[Blue Rose PMS]

I was able to preorder one through my hole-in-the-wall gamestop (was able to show up 30 mins before it opened and get my spot). So far I'm not impressed (and as an accountant the cost-benefit ratio is KILLING me). But I used to say the same thing about the 360 until Gears came out - so I'm still waiting for the PS3 game to knock my socks off

[SuperSaiyan4]

I am not actually bashing the PS3 I never said it was rubbish or anything I am going to get one one day...When it has the games I want and when it is a more sensible price. I know it has a lot of hardware but I am not interested in that I am interested in the games and they all seem to be heading towards the 360 so paying all that money for a PS3 at this time is not justified.

Good to hear you have a PS3 replaced soo quickly sounds like very good service I am aware of 360 support having awful customer support and at present am going through Microsoft directly to have them sorted out.

In regards to what I was saying earlier I am very familar with the PS fans getting upset extremely quickly over comments against the PS3 the thing is I have owned all the last gen consoles so I am no fan of a machine I am a fan of the product that delivers what I want out of gaming.

If you have found your call through the PS3 then fine kudos to all.

[form24us]

Sony pushed it out to appeal to the fan's before the holiday's instead of waiting, and releasing a solid system.
to whoever said this i have 2 things to say.
1. they pushed the release back by almost a year to make sure the product would work correctly.
2. the ps3 had less systems doa than 360 at launch.

FOCUS WROTE:
But anyways, I tried it out, first is so loud, it amazed me, and the controllers feel so uncomfortable compared to Wii and 360...

the ps3 makes no noise at all when i run it at my home. you played it in a confined casing that did not allow the ps3 enough room to cool off. the 360 does the same thing when inside of a confined area. just ry it at someone's house that has one and see.

tears. your ps3 is under warranty for a year from sony automatically when you buy it. since it hasn't been out for a year then yours is still under warranty.

[Gucci Gurl]

I've got one (:

[KoRnKiD H2O]

*looks back at all the hate towards PS3* o_o.. yeah.. I'm pretty sure when the PS2 was first released.. everyone was saying things like "No good games! blah blah" and now it's sold over 80 million consoles.. PS3 is almost in it's third year, it now has a solid line up of games, and developers have finally figured out how to get as much as they can out of the cell, infact.. I read somewhere (http://gamer.blorge.com/2008/08/04/ea-focus-on-ps3-as-lead-platform-for-game-development/) that EA was going to have their development teams use the PS3 as the console to start Lead Development on.

PSN is still free, and imo is now pretty much just as good as XBL.

And the console is no longer 800 dollars. 399 for an 80gb and 499 for 160gb. There's even rumor of a price cut in March/April.
