Erm, on-topic, removal of force feedback is a downer for PS3.

Yes, Bias is a terrible thing.

......right, you say no fan boys please, yet that song was compiled by X-Box 360's fecal matter.At least to my knowledge no PS3 or Nintendo Fan boys have wrote a bloody song slating the 360.....Everything in that song, pictures included were twisted and biased.And not to mention personal opinion in many cases.I know where this thread is going and I don't like it.
Let the flamming begin!!!!***Ducks for cover***

In itself the PS3 doesn't suck. It will probably be amazing

Its less features than promised (2 video outs???), the delay, the elevated price and now the difference between US, Jap and Euro consoles.

Its not the Playstation that's at fault its the tools that are trying to sell it.

I'd say something if it was a bad console but it probably wont be. Its just the sh1t we have to put up with to potentially own one.

Edit: Just to point out if you dont want to support Sony or Microsoft by giving them money for a console. Just buy it second hand.

Well in fairness, its a year late, its got no good launch games, its being released amid a general turning against sony for numerous disastrous mistakes eg rootkits, it costs a fortune, its essentially just a PC for morons and every single fanboy across europe is hailing it as the new messiah of gaming, despite it underselling everywhere it has been released, continual lies from sony about its capabilities, most games for the first few years being ports from a 360 platform etc. And yet still there are 250 million tech blogs from sony fanboys talking about cell processors and blu-ray diodes. Christ. Its already annoying me I've talked about it so much. By the time it comes out I will probably get a little bit sick in my mouth when I see people actually buying it.

Zapp Brannigan · 01-03-2007 02:25PM

I aint no Sony fanboi but 'no good launch games'?

Virtua Fighter 5, Virtua Tennis 3, Resistance and Motorstorm all seem very good.
The console itself won't suck its just Sony have screwed it up every chance they've gotten.

unreggd · 01-03-2007 02:26PM

PS3 GRILL

BAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHA

AceCard Jones · 01-03-2007 02:28PM

When you say rootkits you're 100% correct, but Microsoft are no saints...
The original WGA tool was the equivalent if not worse than Sony's rootkit where privacy is concerned.

Regardless of what you all think, the chances of this console failing in the long term are very slim, only time will tell but the people who prefer X-Box can stay with X-Box, but a lot of people, myself included, have waited it out for this console, I do admit that Sony are full of ****!But all three console manufacturers are as bad as each other.

Sales figures for right now mean nothing, give it a year or two.Then you should re-make a thread with this name and see what people will say.

Mitch Connor · 01-03-2007 02:33PM

the ps3 will not suck, it simply won't. but the price could put people off, which could result in lower then expected sales. There will be crappy games on launch, but that's no different to any other console. CoD3 was the only 360 game that really wowed me on launch, Wii only had Zelda and WiiSports.

There I don't agree. This generation (regardless of other industries the respective companies are in i.e. software, TVs etc etc we are talking about purely selling consoles) i think Sony have been the worst.

Again this is no reflection on the potential of the PS3 as a console. It will have great games etc. but as a company who manufacture and sell consoles I believe Sony have treated this market (europe) the worst of the big 3 console names

AceCard Jones · 01-03-2007 02:57PM

While I agree Sony have well and truly crapped all over the EU, but Microsoft using the current 360 models as fillers until they seen what Sony release so as they can then release their true 360(The new model with larger HDD capacity etc) is just as bad, and Nintendo were too busy making a bloody voting channel during the Wii's early life to push launch dates for more good titles closer to the present, and they could have used their time and resources on something way better, that much is true.

While Sony are definitely taking the biscuit right now, I still stand by my previous statement that IMO they're all as bad as each other.

I'm not biased I just pictures post like "OMG U Think d Ps3 Is crap!"

If a Sony fanboy comes along and they can speak english they would not buy "a smelly cardboard box full of poop " so they are fine in here

.

I just thought the video was funny

BTW: Anybody hear anything about Sony fixing online gaming?

Fighting Irish · 01-03-2007 04:37PM

Give it 6 months and it'll wipe the other two out of the chase, but PS live will never beat Xbox live

Are you confident enough that the PS3 will never have a drought in quality titles and have no further hardware revisions/package options to throw those stones at 360 and Wii?

I wouldn't be

AceCard Jones · 01-03-2007 07:01PM

It's hard to say, as this generation is introducing a lot of new trends, Sony used to just make mini me's of their consoles when they were coming to the end of their lives, now since X-Box is going to seemingly have a complete re-vamp, Sony could jump onto that same train.

But it's also hard to say whether or not they would bother, as most people who I have seen talk about this new 360, have said they don't care, they'll just buy the bigger drive for their current 360.But with the PS3, you can literally at launch take out your 60GB HDD from your PS3 and stick in a 320GB drive.

All system software and updates are stored on built in flash memory and not stored on the HDD at all apparently, so Sony in this case anyway may not do a re-vamp.

And I own a Wii so I'm not completely biased.I do think Nintendo have good idea, they just need to make them slightly less cheesy and give us something concrete.

Zapp Brannigan · 01-03-2007 08:39PM

I hope online gaming is something they really support because Xbox live is brilliant and they really need to compete in this area.

Its hardly a complete re-vamp. If the rumours are true they are adding a port (not uncommon as consoles go through their life time), using cheaper chips (every recent console has and will do this) and they are releasing a bigger HDD (same way you can get bigger mem cards for consoles).

savemejebus · 01-03-2007 09:49PM

The new port would mean a new graphics scaler chip, and tbh there's nothing stopping them from making hdmi standard, producing a core system with 20gb hdd and regular dvd drive and a new premium system with a hd-dvd drive, wireless and 120gb hdd as standard.

It's what i'd do to compete with ps3 and still give the illusion of choice

carbonkid · 01-03-2007 10:24PM

From what i can see from mates the big gamers in general side with the xbox (this may but largely based on the fact the original xbox was easily modded and has xbox live) where as your average joe goes with the playstation so my bets are on playstation 3 doing the best on the market. It is really expensive but it does have the new hd dvd player and alot of people have crazy amounts of money to spare these days.

tallaghtoutlaws · 01-03-2007 10:34PM

Im not reading any of the above posts as I hate the whole our machine is better than your machine crap. I have a 360 and will be buying a PS3. 360 has some great games and some pure muck games. PS3 have played it and played it good one of my friends has one. Excellent piece of equipment also. So before knocking any of the machines give them a good go first. Both machines are damn good machines yes both have their flaws but who gives a flying fook. You dont like it dont buy it simple.

unreggd · 01-03-2007 11:13PM

Everyones problem isnt with the PS3 itself, its all the hassle over it!

Numerous delays, high costs, crapola launch titles, Sony's condescending comments against Nintendo and the Wii, screwin the europeans over, feck all backwards compatability [sorry, but 1,000 titles is nothin], blue ray instead of HD-DVD.... etcetera etcetera

savemejebus · 01-03-2007 11:37PM

I'd say it's sony's attitude more than any of the other stuff.

Seriously do you think 1000 titles is nothing? I don't think the 360 backward compatiblity list and nintendo virtual console combined make up that number.

I've got no problem with blu-ray either, it's a high capacity format and has lots of support. People liken it to betamax but something that alot of people forget about betamax is that it was better quality than VHS, and for me that's more important than hd-dvds running in my normal dvd player.

It's all about sony's attitude, they messed up royally thinking that they were the be-all and end-all of gaming (they should have learned from the psp), and they're getting a bloody nose in this generation of consoles because of it.

If the 360 had an integrated Blu-ray drive, i'd get that over the ps3 in a heartbeat.

AceCard Jones · 01-03-2007 11:52PM

With the whole format war aside, 1000 titles BC isn't nothing!
It's 12.2% of the entire library of PS2 games, that's triple what the X-Box has now and it's had over a year.I wasn't originally planning on comparing the two but someone else did so I felt obligated.:)

I think after the hustle and bustle and bull-**** of the launch, things will look better, I just think the tension right now is steaming up everyone's opinion on it.
I have a feeling after things calm down people will have a slightly more positive view.

unreggd · 02-03-2007 12:09AM

Well I'll be holdin out for the PSthree

Smaller, cheaper version, with proper Dualshock!

BlitzKrieg · 02-03-2007 04:12AM

just a minor gripe to get off my shoulder here

been following this recent ps3/kotaku upset on a number of forums.

which is my first mistake but still

I notice a reoccuring statement, and its beginning to drive me nuts.

when someone goes to name the games that are the driving force of the ps3

you get thrown the same 3-5 titles everytime (Metal Gear solid 4, final fantasy 13, devil may cry 4, motorstorm, killzone 2) sometimes resistance too, but those 5 are the most common i see.

which ok, they are for the most part are games to be excited about.

but then...almost everytime, the list is followed by....to name a few

that really annoys me for two reasons.

A) apart from motorstorm none of those titles have release dates (a problem I have emphasized as being the priority sony need to fix)

it wouldnt bother me if the list changed over the months...but that has been the exact same list since the ps3 was revealed, and even before that the only addition to the list was motorstorm.

Sure microsoft and nintendo suffer similar problems, but at least theirs gets updated with either some of the titles being released or nw titles revealed.

360 at launch was all HALO 3...but over time it was updated to include gears of war, crackdown, dead rising etc

just something I had to say...offtopic (or not)

The PS3 isn't even out yet in Europe and its only been out in a couple of months worldwide. At that stage in the 360s lifespan none of its top games now had release dates either so its hardly a fair comparison.

A fairer comparison would be with the Wii - Mario Galaxy, Metroid Prime, Smash Bros Brawl - Nintendo gave all those release dates and then went back on them, at least Sony are keeping quiet, if they took the same approach as Nintendo people would be using it as further proof to call them 'liars' - as of right now the Wii is suffering a worse games drought than the PS3 and that trend isn't looking like changing(obviously you can mitigate that with the fact the Wii is much cheaper)

erm..... Call of Duty 2 was, and still is, one of the best titles on the 360, and it was a launch title. Ghost Recon AW, Oblivion were out in the following March.

So at this stage in the lifespan of the 360, 3 of its biggest titles were out.

mikeruurds · 02-03-2007 08:22AM

I currently have a PS2, Wii and a 360. I'm in no rush to purchase a PS3 even though I agree that it is a good piece of hardware.

I would agree with Blitzkrieg on this one. The same 5 games get mentioned as being the games that will be massive PS3 sellers. The problem is that the only REAL AAA contenders are DMC4, FF XIII and MGS4 - these three are due for release in 2008 with DMC4 possibly Q4 of this year.

There's just nothing out there at the moment that is tempting.

The system is not the problem... it's the lack of good games when compared with the 360. The PS3 just has to be that much better than the 360 to overcome its' one year advantage... and so far it isn't looking like it is going to prove to be a better buy than the 360 any time soon.

Just my 2 cents.

Why not compare to PS3s in other regions? Same console, but instead of 12%, Japan/US get 98% (and pay less). That sure seems fair.

Why the ps3 sucks.
