PS3 Discussion

What's the price now?

Honestly, I'm waiting to see what happens with Konami and Square Enix. If all goes well and they're no longer exclusive to Sony, I'm not gonna get a PS3 and just wait for the games to come out for the 360.

I think it's $499. There is a 80 GB version coming out with the game; I don't know if the 60 GB model will have the game included.

You mean the iPhone which is a billion times more useful than a video game console, especially a PS3? Not much of a comparison.

$499 for the 60 GGB and $599 for the 80 GB with Motostorm bundle. I'm with you, Ice. I really hope MGS4 and the FFXIII games come to the 360. If not. . .then, I'll get a PS3 when it drops to $399. Anything above that is just way too expensive for a video game console. No matter how much I want more Snake and FF.

She makes a good point. The reason I didn't get an iPhone is two fold. One, again, is because 600 dollars is just ridiculous for that kind of device. The only two electronics I'd buy at that price (Or more) is a TV or computer. The second reason is, knowing Apple, there'll be a better one next year for cheaper.

Huh...according to Capcom's Mark Beaumont, no Capcom game will be exclusive anymore, expect to see Dead Rising and Lost Planet for the PS3.

I can only hope for this. Right now the only games I want for the Xbox360 are Dead Rising and Naruto.

Thing is, if all of the third party companies start doing this, then it's going to force the market back into the "Two Game Console" phase: The Wii for innovation and one of the other two for performance. Sony and Microsoft's first and second party titles aren't strong enough to float their respective consoles, unlike Nintendo's, and one will eventually sink. And after witnessing the huge, ongoing PR disaster that is the PS3. . .things aren't looking great for Sony.

Acutally, the inhouse games from Sony (God of War) and Microsoft (Halo) sell better than most of their 3rd party titles. In all honesty, Sony jumped the gun on the PS3, as the PS2 still outsells any other system (according to CNN), but, they have the money to stick to their 10 year plan. Also, seeing how the PS3 is only 1080 console, they can afford to be patient. By the time Nintendo and Microsoft make true 7th Gen systems, Sony'll will most likely have the lowest pricepoint.

Without an intigrated player, you're only getting an upscaled signal. Secondly, with the 360's external HD-DVD drive, and no games being any better than true 480 (which is as high as a standard DVD can process), it's not true 1080, it's all upscaling.

Ah ok. That's cool I just knew it does it in those and the games look better on it , So I assumed it must be same.

It's a TV AND a computer. And a phone. And a sort-of GPS. And a music player. :D

Totally valid reasoning, and the biggest reason I wanted to hold off. But it's never ending; might as well take the plunge sometime.

True on the games, BUT those are only one example. Microsoft has Halo (And Gears of War and Mistwalker as second parties), Sony has God of War and Gran Turismo. Compared to Nintendo's Zelda, Mario, Warioware, Super Smash Bros, Metroid, Pokemon, etc. You can't bank on one or two games. And if nothing remains exclusive, people are going to pick the cheaper system.

As for the 10 year plan. . .I just don't think the PS3 can hold for 10 years. Even MGS4, which is, by far, the best example of the PS3's power, will very likely be completely outdated in just a couple of years, let alone 10. As for the PS2 outselling every ssytem. . .that's not true. Overall, it's sold FAR more than any other system, but the Wii, DS, 360 and PSP all outsell it, at least in America and Japan (Minus the 360). And that's on a week-to-week and month-to-month basis.

I also don't think 1080p TVs are going to be viable for a very long time. Most people are just switching to 720p. By the time 1080p becomes the norm (If people don't completely skip it for the next big thing), the PS3's 10 years will be up. Same thing with Blu Ray.

But, we'll see.

That's fine if you're into gadgets. But, I already have a big TV, an extremely powerful computer, and an iPod so it's just a novelty for me. It's a cool gadget, to be sure, but not for the price.

That's a power port, Ice, not a. . .yeah.

I totally love nay sayers, I remember people like you coming out of the woodwork saying the GameCube was the death of Nintendo, they've proved it was a great little machine, cus all they did was reformatted it into the Wii, and it's crushing the competition.

Blu-Ray is winning the new format war, and yes, some of us have 1080 tvs, and as much as I love my Wii, the games look like ***, when they're upscaled. If you seriously think Sony won't survive the 10 year plan, you're seriously not comparing the systems objectively.

I'm with Lynx on this one. I'm not going to bash the ps3 as that's not allowed but my honest opinion i agree with him the 10 year plan will fail. and first party games wise there's not many.


10 year plan I think will fail as besides Blue ray and the control pad , 360 Is a far superior console and much cheaper even with price cut.

Another factor to consider is how much actual gaming company's don't trust the ps3 will do well. In loosing a lot of their exclusives it has hurt the console and the plan.

I'm sure the ten year plan did not consider loosing 90% of their exclusives which made the ps2 so successful e.g GTA.

Looking at the console now just as a huge gamer I wont touch it as it has very little to offer me that i can not find somewhere else. I want graphics I play 360 , I want gameplay I play wii.


It's a shame but I don't see Ps3 doing that well in the big picture and console war. Now when ps4 comes out I hope they learn from previous mistakes and make it so I actually want one.

Blue ray may be going strong but UMD and MiniDisk and beta max did well at first look how they all turned out. I wanted to back blue ray in this way but seeing it now I would rather get hd-dvd

Ok, so I'll just ignore everyone's post since I'm not in the mood to argue the same **** over and over again and will ask.
Who has it? What's your PSNetwork ID? And wich games do you have?

I'm pretty sure my post will get lost in the middle of the giant posts but I'm trying to do my part.

My ID is: Auron_Br
My games: Resistance, Def Jam: Icon. Wednesday I'll get Motorstorm, Enchanted Arms and The Darkness.
I just bought Blast Factor from the PSstore as well, really fun game.
