Do you think you will have to get in a fight to get a ps3

Everybody knew something big was coming with ps2. Sure the realization of jaggies wasnt as evident as it was after ps2 released screens but that helped to add to the hype. Plus, We had been seeing small increases in bits system by system (8-16-32-64). Thats not even pointing out the fact that we had only seen one true 64 bit system which was only a cartrige based system (allowing the 32 bit ps to have graphics that could compete w/ n64).
 
So in all reality it really felt like a jump from 32 bit to 128 which was huge. PS2 just got a lot of attention because it was the follow up to the "great" ps1 etc. The whole 128 bit hype, was also followed by all kinds of rumors etc with the "dolphin" and xbox (with those sweet looking tech demos).

In this case, we are just moving from 128 to 256 (which hasnt even really been confirmed yet surprisingly). Sure its a big leap and it fuels some sort of hype, but almost skipping a generation like before just added so much to the pie that today we couldnt possibly match that hype.

I\'ll see what the launch games are like.  PS2 wasn\'t worth owning until a good 6 months after release.

Fine, this "noob"--ya know b/c ive only been playing video games like 13 years now but--will wait and see how big the lines are for the PS3. Like QuDDus said, Microsoft will be realeasing a system just as powerful as the PS3 around the same time so there is no way the hype will live up to PS2, which was alone in it\'s class for a very long time before xbox came to even out the playing field.

There will be at least as big different in graphics quality as it was in ps1-ps2.. For one of the biggest grieves on ps2 is the fact that GS has almost identical raster engines as ps1. only several of them in paraller with some memory on the side.

this time it seems there will be much more proggrammability in the pixel pipes compared to the previous generations of hardware..

and in whole consept of computing... If ps3 is based on Cell, which it seems to be. it will be at least intressing piece of silicon as EE was when ps2 came out. (which still in vertex stuff is pretty damn good.. (does some stuff that dx9c can\'t))

uhh.. and in the topic.. yup i will get ps3 pretty soon.. im a graphic tech nut..
and i will get xbox2 when it comes too, which seems to be intressing machine this time too..

but cell sounds just...

*Nostalgic*

*chuckle*

You :ghey:\'s.

It does sound so.... *           * though doesnt it? *sigh:D

I wont get started. Though knowing/hearing all the tech aspects and possibilities of the ps2 did get the blood flowing;).

EDIT: Those damn asterisks wont separate damnit. No matter how far apart i put them. Thats messed up. A man tries to express something and the board just F***s it up.

God I hadn\'t seen the word "noob" on this  forum in ages.  I was hoping that this place matured out of that stage.  *sigh*


As for the PS3, I won\'t have the time nor the money to warrant a purchase.

Haha true, I don\'t say n00b unless I\'m joking around.  Saying someone is a PS3 noob is noobish in of itself. :ghey:

too much noob in one post.....head....going to....explode...

If there looks to be a shortage (which I expect, it worked out great for Sony last time) then I\'ll be in line. Then turn around and sell it on ebay. With the stack of unplayed games I\'ve got now it would be no problem holding out until PS4 is on the horizon.
