Good Comparison Of Both Versions Of PS3

[Paul2]

....I have an HDTV, I\'ve had one for awhile now.. Thank\'s tho! I love the argument that if you own an HDTV, then get a PS3. I own an HDTV, I didn\'t rush out to buy an Xbox 360, did I?

Well, if you already own HDTV, you can use the ps3 to play blu ray movies in high def.  Some blu ray movies are starting to come out in June and by Nov, I am pretty sure there will be a decent library of movies to select.  I am just saying...compare to other blu ray players that are soon to come out, ps3 is a steal.  Not only does it play blu ray movies, it\'s also a videogame console, and it also included a 60 Gbytes HDD.  All for $600.  Look at stand alone blu ray players, they don\'t have any hard disk drive, nor do they play videogames, but they cost $400 - $500 aor more than PS3.

I love this quote. You are saying right now, that the price tag is warranted even though there will not be " any good games for a year " . So, in reality, you are saying, that you want to pay $600 dollars for a dust collector for a year?

The rest of your post is pure nonsense because all it does is reference to "in a year from now" , "when the price drops" and things that can\'t be accounted for because they simply have not happened.

You missed this in my post

Is there really good reason to buy PS3 on launch at it\'s high price tag? No.

There isn\'t much reason for mainstream gamers to get a PS3 on launch.  Guys like me who want the latest and best technology will get it on launch.  

It won\'t be collecting dust for a year.  I will be watching high-def movies,  playing nextgen madden and GT with a xbox live type service I\'ve never experienced,  and I can play all my old PS2 and PS1 games upscaled to Highdef.  Right now on my bigscreen Clow(u)d\'s head is made of 10 pixels.  PS2 games look just as good as on small TVs but I\'m sure they will look better.

All I was saying is that including bluray was not a mistake because it shoots the price tag up.  Making equipment future proof is expensive.  Ask everyone who got 1080p televisions.  They will be set for a very long time.  Don\'t think you need a 1080p TV now because not enough programming supports it?  Fine,  wait a couple of years until the price goes down.  Same with PS3.

P.S - I\'m sick and tired of hearing about this 7 - 10 year lifespan. Will the PS3 be around for that long ? Yes, hell they just now stopped producing the friggin\' Psone, but let\'s not kid ourselves, the PS4 will be out in four to five years and provided this board is still around, the same damn subject will be up and goin\', yet again.

I dont see how that is so hard to believe.  The PS3 will be released 6 years after the PS2.  And with the PS3 having such new technology,  I see no reason why Sony couldn\'t make it\'s lifespan 1-2 years longer then the PS2\'s.  I don\'t expect to see the PS4 released until 2013 at the earliest.

Buying a console to watch movies....Gay.

Playing "Next Gen Madden" and "GT"....Yes, play more sequels with better graphics..

Enjoy an Xbox Live like service - or just go ahead and sign up for what MS has been doing two generations now.

Buying a console that has the added extra feature of playing HD movies, something you would otherwise spend twice as much doing for your HD setup.  

Playing truly next gen games both sequels and originals on your new HDTV setup.

Enjoying an Xbox Live like (except that it\'s free) service that MS has been delivering for a price for two years.

Want to go through the negatives for every system?  XBox flaws are much more obvious, and don\'t require any \'opinions\' like \'watching movies on a console is gay\', which is just about the worst PoV ever.

you\'re attacking playstation\'s choice of games?? we dont even know all the games ps3 will offer besides the obvious ones. Xbox is the console with ONLY halo to get people to buy it. Other than that, the games you get on the 360 are mostly going to be ones available on ps3. add that with GTA, GoW, GT, etc.

And iv never had a problem with sony\'s stripped down online service. It was the first time a console went online and it was free. Now it\'s free but they\'ve learned from past experiences and xbox.

I\'m looking forward to see how PNP turns out. One good thing about PNP is that it could force Microsoft to stop with the monthly fee, at least letting people play online for free. Charging for whats basically a P2P network (user hosted games) should be criminal. Right now MS makes money off the monthly fee PLUS "micro transactions". :moon:

Wait, isn\'t Sony\'s new online "service" the same thing as what\'s on PS2?  Didn\'t they comment about developers being allowed to set up their own servers and charge if they wanted to?

Oh, and PS2 was not the first console to go online, Viper Fujax.

You seem to be hating video games lately. You should take up another hobby.

No, it definitely wasn\'t.

You need to quit posting that every five threads.. Yeah, I hate games so much. That\'s why I am buying a DS, a Wii, rebuying a PS2 (Guitar Hero) and have logged almost two hundred hours in CoV. Yeah, I hate games so much..

:rolleyes:

I think that\'s probably the first or second time I\'ve said that. Someone else suggested it first. But thanks for the exaggeration.

Well good for you.

Well good for you.

The point is the same, you sit here and make these stupid comments.  I am sorry I\'m not Pro-Sony and am pointing out negative things, how about I just point out just the great pro Sony things? Come on, give me a fu**in\' break.

If you have something of actual content to add to the thread, then fine, go ahead, but quit posting dumbshit like this all because my opinion obviously does not agree with yours.

Wow, you can cut the tension in this thread with a butter knife.

Again...you complaining isn\'t "adding" to the thread. I\'m not pro-Sony and this isn\'t about differeing opinions. I have a Dreamcast (still rocks in my book), PS2, Xbox, and Gamecube from this generation. Just chill out, bro.
