Sony really dropped the ball on the PS3 IMO. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
shimshamsam2 Posted September 14, 2006 Share Posted September 14, 2006 sony almost did great with the PSP. only problem i have with it is that it uses disks, a disk in a handheld is all kinda of skipping problems waiting to happen Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
lwieise Posted September 14, 2006 Share Posted September 14, 2006 Its gonna be frickin' SWEET! Backwards compatability from Gamecube games AND downloadable content of all the good past Nintendo games PLUS some Atari stuff as well. This is gonna be the shit. Imagine Super Smash Bros. ONLINE.I just wanna know when I can preorder it! AHHAH! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DarthHookah Posted September 14, 2006 Share Posted September 14, 2006 i truly believe that the console race is putting a strangle hold on video games. $600 for a friggin console? thats, like, 3 car payments. ive had medical bills that were lower. i simply refuse to buy any console until the price become reasonable. in any case, i have an NES, an N64, an SNES, a PS2, and a whole ton of emulators (NES, SNES, Sega Genesis/Game Gear/CD, Atari 2600, and even an Apple IIE). i dont think i need anymore friggin video games (especially since the games they are coming out with are so time consuming).

lwieise Posted September 14, 2006 Share Posted September 14, 2006 At $250 WITH a game included you can't go wrong. Nintendo has and always will be the biggest innovator in video games. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
throwthisaway Posted September 21, 2006 Share Posted September 21, 2006 With the PS3, you guys need to understand that the $600 is going towards a computer, not a mere console. With the technology Sony has put in those machines, $600 is a bargain. For one, you can't even find a blu-ray player out there for under $1000, so right there you're already saving $400. Not to mention the cell processor and the monster of a gpu... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
dikydave Posted September 22, 2006 Share Posted September 22, 2006 not that i can find a reason to have a blu ray player either... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
joetuo Posted September 22, 2006 Author Share Posted September 22, 2006 Yeah dikydave that is so true. The other bad thing with the blu-ray /HD-DVD battle is that they have not choose a standard yet. I will laugh so hard if they choose HD-DVD to be the standard and all the peoeple who bought the PS3 saying it was a good deal because of the blu-ray are now screwed because all they will do with the PS3 is play PS3 games.Personally I will not buy a HD-DVD or blu-ray until a standard is met. I am sure that companies are not going to want to release movies on more then one format. I think the DVD will stick around a while longer until a standard is reached.

Claytron Posted September 22, 2006 Share Posted September 22, 2006 I'm getting a Wii ASAP. It's going be huge in the long run. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Macho555 Posted September 22, 2006 Share Posted September 22, 2006 The whole thing about standards is the exact reason im wary of buying the PS3. But...even I have to admit, the PS3 is droolworthy.As for the Wii OMG WII WII OMG!!!! First thing I'm doing? DLing every single Mario game humanly possible. NES Mario for the win!!!

xpimpitox Posted September 28, 2006 Share Posted September 28, 2006 im gettin a home console for console reasons...to play games. I really do want a ps3 but that price mark is wayyy to high for a console. sure it has all the pretty bells and whistles and i know the games are gonna be great but that price tag is ehhh. i will eventually get a ps3 but not anytime soon (i can't stay away from it when final fantasy 13 comes out ) The Wii on the other hand is right up my alley. i know its gonna be a hit. the stuff that they are doin with it already blows my mind i cant freakin wait!
