Good Comparison Of Both Versions Of PS3

It\'s not only over priced, but now that I want the WiFi thing I\'m back up to the stupidly high priced model.

PS3 = teh suck

I already hate it.

have fun wii-ing

ps3 looks great but i cant pay for it. I did just get a job so ill see how much money i get from it after a while. Then ill wait for my birthday in march to help pay for it.

also..you sound like a bitch. Im just saying it like it is. Just because its got a lot of crap in it that raises the price you hate it? madden ALREADY got shit reviews on ur fantastical wii. I mean..madden usually takes a week after it\'s released to get people bitching about it. Look at the games it\'s previewing and the lineup like GTA and god of war for the future. Im not saying that the PS3 will be the best thing since sliced bread..but its going to be a great console if you can pay for it.

im still skeptical of how far the pointing sensor thing will go. Warhawk is the only thing iv seen it use and it looks like it could work with THAT game. But where will it come into play with baseball, god of war, MGS, etc. The controller thing for the wii made me hate the direction that was going in..not that iv liked nintendo since snes.

i only care about 1st party nintendo wii titles

just saying...

The 20GB version doesn\'t have Wi-Fi or memory card slots. WTF?

"Sony has since confirmed that they will also release a wireless WiFi adapter for Core owners who wish to upgrade."

Or I could just buy it built-in and not worry about it.

Ditto. I\'m sure the attachments and the hassle of buying and installing them is itself worth just spending the extra hundred bucks. What if I run out of space on a 20 gig hard drive? I spend over a hundred to upgrade. I want the WiFi which is why I\'m leaning towards the premium. I was thinking aobut just getting a core but since it doesn\'t have WiFi, screw it. I\'ll pay the extra hundred for it so I don\'t buy attachments for the same shit and may save only 10 bucks in the end. And forget it if I run out of space on the hard drive. Nah, better play it safe and get the premium.

I\'m guessing the chances of filling up 20GB is slim and whats the big deal with wifi?  Am I missing something?  499 is still too much though.....

Well I need the WiFi in my house because its impossible to run Cat5 or Cat6 wires throughout my house. I do have wireless and that\'s a help. Plus in my apartment next year, we\'re going wireless so we dont\' have wires going throughout the place. There are enough as it is. Plus if I use it to store stuff (and who knows what fun stuff Sony or third parties will come out with like Linux or something or a neat program) on it, that could fill up fast. I mean, I filled up an 80 gig on my computer with por.....i mean videos and music. 20 just doesn\'t seem that big anymore. Hell, 80 filled up fast for me. I\'m gonna try and get an external this summer to just throw all my crap on there so my computer only has programs on it.

i was generally worried about space on the hd myself...i\'m so used to usin mem. cards that i\'m worrying that i\'ll use up the 20g on the cheaper model,.. plus the more expensive model will have slots for memory sticks?..i\'m assuming that will be the "new" memory cards for ps3?

20gb is a TON of storage space for games saves.  Heck half a gig is still an insane amount.

That extra storage space is for downloads.  Either add-ons, patches, or maybe even movie trailers like MS does with Live.

I think it sais in the article that you can use USB compatible memory sticks/SD/Flash memory on the cheaper version

I think it\'s time we establish "opinion".
In my opinion, it\'s over priced. Anything extra, Blu-Ray playback, wi-fi and what not, it\'s not needed. What is needed is a simple console, which lowers price.

That doesnt equal overprice. It would have equaled overpriced if it didnt have these and still costed 500 and above

it\'s still over priced.

there is no crippled 360.

I agree with mm, it\'s not over priced, just expensive.

and the core 360 without a Harddrive included is crippled IMO. At least Sony is ensuring HD\'s in all PS3\'s.

and the wireless adapters are ok if included but you still get a better more reliable connection through an ethernet connnection.

Take the Wii out of the equation.
 
For me, PS2 is the system I played the least last generation. And now if I want to pick up its sequel I need to fork over some ungodly amount of cash that I don\'t feel like blowing on something I\'ll barely use - and that\'s before I pick up one of the $60 titles - just one!
 
PS3 for me is tipping right at the edge of cost-prohibitive.
 
And that pisses me off. I\'m looking for games, not an all-in-one family media center. And to that end, Sony is ripping the consumer off.
 
I already have a thing against them for their shoddy hardware last gen and the hassle that caused.
 
Whether or not Wii is good doesn\'t weigh into this at all. I have an Xbox 360, too. I\'m one to pick up all the consoles, but I\'m really struggling to justify the trouble here. Even with Xbox 360 the stuff is overpriced. I have been buying DS games that are priced reasonably and old used games that I missed ($3 for PGR).
 
I\'m considering waiting until PS3 is cheaper and getting budget games with it... I\'m not sure.
 
(And I haven\'t been interested in Madden since 1996... though actually throwing the ball is kinda interesting, if they pull it off well)

I will buy PS3 for sure, but of course not at launch date.  This time around, I will wait till the price drop and more library of games and more library of blu ray movies too.

[Viper_Fujax]

i didnt know ps2 was ur least played console. We have a few people here that dont like ps2\'s,lol. Guess we just have a bunch of irresistible people on this board.

Im greatly considering waiting for a price drop for the ps3 and im looking forward to it the most. But i think ill be able to hold off since i have an above average computer. I really only play sports games on consoles..with random other games like GTA, GoW, and shadow of the collusus. so theres no point for me to pay this much for a console.

and i was just taking my Wii shots whenever i could,lol. Nintendo kind of annoys me with its marketing ploys

I can relate. Only for me, I\'m tired of "look how big my graphics are"
 
I love what Nintendo is doing/trying to do lately.
