PlayStation3 - A fool and his money are soon parted.

The 360 has xbox live which alone BY FAR outweighs anything the PS3 offers.

If you just HAVE to run out and buy something new, go for the Nintendo Wii. At least there's something revolutionary about the wii. The PS3 is the same garbage Sony has been making for years.

I'll buy PS3 for the 'same' reason I got PS2.
Console + DVD for ps2 (I didn't have a DVD-player)
Console + BlueRay for ps3.

..and I didn't like Xbox, nor Xbox360. The joystick and stuff isn't for me. But PS2 has been entertaining and I've liked it, so I'll stay loyal to the same company. I also have DS and PSP, I use DS more..just because it has 'smaller' games I can play while taking a shit. Like Wario touched. heh.
PSP is a lot better imho though.

You do know that PS3 will have an online community also?

I kind of forgave Sony for the Betamax fiasco and bought a PSP with yet another proprietary game format - the UMD. That too has been a colossal flop. I wanted to be able to buy movies in UMD format and watch them while I am on the road. Now since UMD support is quickly dying, I have to rip my DVDs and put them on a memory card so I can watch them on the PSP.

VHS dominated Betamax because of the price vs benefit factor. Betamax offered better video quality but was too expensive for most consumers. Blu-ray is similar. It can hold substantially more data but when games for PS3 are going to cost around $90 a pop, I can't justify the cost. HD-DVD seems like a far more logical choice.

I do have to agree with you on the DS. It's my pooping platform of choice. :thumbsup

Babaganoosh is such a lame fan boy. He knocks the system before he even has one. Hell, before it is even out in the States.

Fanboys are so annoying...

Any idea who I work for, moron? I write for one of the larger independent (not owned by a massive publisher like ZD) gaming sites on the internet. I've played the PS3 on a couple of occasions. I am less than impressed.

What REALLY annoys me are the morons who scream "fanboy" when I say things like Halo 2 is the most overrated game in history or that Sony is a huge, smelly, Asian turd.

If you are just itching to buy a new console this week, go pick up a wii. I guarantee you won't be disappointed. Oh yeah, and you'll actually be able to GET a wii. :1orglaugh

Now to make you look like a fool.



You don't know what the ps3 online community will offer you jack ass. It's not even out.

Also, it very obvious you are a fanboy by how you pass off all Sony's products as garbage. Last I checked, PS2 dominated to market and had even outsold the 360 when they were both out. I guess everyone is lining up to buy these old garbage systems huh? God forbid we even take a look at sales figures of software. Microsofts only winners were Halo and Halo 2. I can't even count on two hands how many games Sony has pumped out over the years the demolish MS numbers. Halo series has sold combined 16 million. The first two GTA's on PS2 moved over 26 million. Sure they have been out longer, but it's not like Halo 2 and GTA1/2 are still selling a ton.

I guess all those people love buying shitty games for their garbage systems.



Hmm all the games I saw were for $59.99. OMG, did you know 360 games are also $59.99? This is nuts. PS3 games are way to expensive. The $90 per game arguement is the dumbest arguement ever created in the case of HD-DVD vs. Bluray. I think it's already proven that they aren't going to cost $90. Jackass.

All that ranting has led me to one conclusion. YOU are a Sony fanboy. I on the other hand own every major console and handheld made today. Yes, that includes the PSP and PS1 & PS2. I can't be a fanboy.

I don't own a psp or ds because I really have no desire to play games when im not at home and i dont own a 360 because I never thought any games looked good. Gears of war looks awsome, though ill probbaly just rent it and play it at my friends.

So lets see.... 3do, sega, sega cd, atari, nintendo, snes, 64, gameboy regular and color, turbo graphics, ps1,2, and soon 3 though im selling min on friday and will buy one in a couple months. Hmm i know im missing some.
