The PS3 Is Here.

Re: The PS3 Is Here.

I honestly can't imagine why, but if people enjoy spending thousands of dollars for an oversized paperweight, then more power to them.

Because it's not as useless as you say it is. Get over yourself, all of the systems are pretty good.

Re: The PS3 Is Here.

The PS3 is a great console, I'm sure.

Just no where near worth the amount of money people charge for it.

Except there's no real reason to get one because all of their third party exclusives are moving to Microsoft's and Nintendo's development.

Squeek seriously get your Nintendo fanboy head out of your ass. If Nintendo is as awesome as you say they are, explain what happened to them over the last decade.

Just because you have an extreme distaste for Sony doesn't mean you should post in this thread everytime you seem to want to bash them. Sony screwed up the launch numbers and the price of the PS3.

Okay, we've known that for months now. Get over it and stop crying because you feel Sony doesn't cater to every minute detail for Squeek of FFR.

Re: The PS3 Is Here.

Over the last decade? You mean, Nintendo 64, SNES and the GameCube? Yeah, all of those were disasters, lemme tell you.

[Squeek]

Re: The PS3 Is Here.

You mean when Nintendo turned a profit on every system sold for both of those console sales? Uh oh.

Wii could fail and Nintendo would turn a profit because they're selling them at a profit.

Minute details? You mean the facts that...

1) It doesn't fit on my desk?
2) It doesn't have any good games?
3) It doesn't have any good upcoming games?
4) It won't have any exclusive titles?
5) It doesn't look fun at all?

Sorry, but get your oversized Blu-Ray player out of yours. Just at least tell me what you actually want it for.

Re: The PS3 Is Here.

If I was to get a PS3, the only thing I'd do with it is play THP8.

That **** looks godly. Other than that, PS3 games look to be not worthy of anything.

Re: The PS3 Is Here.

It's coming out on Xbox 360, Afro.

Re: The PS3 Is Here.

Ahahaha. I love all the mudslinging in here. I read from #324, and was thinking, "Oh **** Squeek just got owned," and then he countered. I laughed so hard.

Re: The PS3 Is Here.

Maybe if Sony had a better track record for not sucking majorly.

I know.

However, I'm not willing to get a Xbox360 just for THP8 either (I can't stand the controller of it either ugh). I'll be getting the PS2 version soon, and if that sucks too bad, I'll probably wait for a cheap used PS3 and get a "top sold" rerelease of it much later.

I don't see the Playstation or Playstation 2 sucking majorly or am I just naive? Don't get me wrong, the N64 showed the world the jump to fully 360 degree 3D, however, Sony capitalized on the growing market media with CDs rendering cartridges obsolete. I wholeheartedly believe had CDs not caught on, we'd be popping cartridges into the Wii, but I digress. Also, the Gamecube wasn't a disaster? "Oh yes, were making money off of each console we sell." What's the damn point if THEY NEVER SOLD WELL?

Also Squeek, most of the questions you asked were answered by yourself a while ago when you complained about how Sony makes shoddily made hardware and what not. Hmmm.... Let's see about that. You have the PS3: a sophisticated piece of machinery that functions as a multimedia center compared to the Wii: an innovative console whose whole purpose is in it's very name: to include everyone from children to adults. Which one would have more structure in order to avoid damage? Wii. Besides, why are you complaining about size? Last time I remembered, the PS2 was the first console to able to be turned sideways like a PC tower. The Wii can do the same thing. I wonder where that idea came from....

To end this rant, I'm a hardcore Sony fan. However, even I have enough common sense to know that $600 at this point in time is not a wise investment. There are no outstanding games for the PS3 out yet, the system isn't completely up yet, and errors won't even met me enjoy old games like Tekken 5. However, to blatantly point out faults in order to further prove "your point" only shows your extreme biased view to something that should be looked at objectively.

Re: The PS3 Is Here.

Like wat was said way back i'm gonna go out on a limb and say people bought a PS3 for the Blue-Ray and Graphics not inivation, and i hate the fact that the Wii cant play DVD movies and there gonna make you buy an entirely new Wii just to get that add-on Which stinks, i mean not just buy the add-on BUT buy another system *sigh* luckly i haven't bought either i've played the Wii and it was great but I quess I cant Pass to much judgement cause i dont own one.

Re: The PS3 Is Here.

Even though it's one 3.2, it out performs the XBox 360's 3 processors.

PS3 = 2.18 Teraflops
XB = 1 Tereflop.

whats a teraflop?

Even if Sony hadn't pioneered the use of CDs as a console gaming medium, it would have still caught on eventually thanks to it's use as a gaming medium for the PC.

Also, the Gamecube wasn't a disaster? "Oh yes, were making money off of each console we sell." What's the damn point if THEY NEVER SOLD WELL?

The Gamecube wasn't a disaster. It didn't do extremely well, but it was far from a disaster. For instance, the Dreamcast was a disaster. The Virtual Boy was a disaster. N-GAGE was a disaster. The Gamecube was not.

Last time I remembered, the PS2 was the first console to able to be turned sideways like a PC tower. The Wii can do the same thing. I wonder where that idea came from....

From PCs...

And by the way, anyone who not buy a system because it doesn't play a movie format is stupid. By now, I'm sure everyone has a DVD player in their home, and if they don't, a DVD player can be purchased for a rather small sum of money.
