PS3, opinions Options

[manphibian]

Hi guys, well the Ps3 has been out for a couple of months now in the US, just wondering what you guys thought of it.

It's still not out here in the UK for a while (mid march) but i have one arriving tomorrow with a friend who's been in Hong Kong

I know there are only a handful of games worth getting at the moment, but from what i've seen, the potential there is incredible.

Idk this system is looking like it has some serious potential

Final Fantasy 13
Metal Gear solid ( rumored to be 2 bluerays 60gigs )
Gran Turismo 5
Devil May Cry 4
Resident Evil 5
Oh yea and Unreal Tournament 2007 (FTW) same graphics engine as gears of war

Not to mension it is actually cheaper than the xbox for what u get
Xbox 20g $399
xbox wireless adapter (70$)
hd-dvd player (200$)
were 70$ over and we still havent talked about the larger hdd the ps3 has

Unreal and RE5 will both be on the 360. Also, you don't HAVE to buy all that crap you mentioned for the 360.. You DO have to buy the 60gig PS3 with the Blu-ray and wifi, etc. The 360 gives you the option of being a high-definition DVD player, or not. Also, you don't have to get the wifi adapter. Just plug it up with a Cat5 cable.

To make a "comperable system", sure, you'd need all that. But that's the beauty of add-ons. If you don't need it, you don't have to buy it. Sony is forcing you to buy all that technology, whether or not you really want/need it.

I didn't need any of that, so what did I do? I spent 399, got the 20gig premium Xbox 360, bundled with a game in the box.

So, I came out with a 399$ system(with a game) that does just as good, if not better right now, than a PS3, for 200+ dollars less. What exactly does it do just as good, if not better, for that price? Play video games. Which is what it is. A console. My controller even vibrates!

The PS3 is not worth the hype, and money, and all that. Otherwise, they wouldn't be losing exclusive titles. And have already cut production of the 20gig system.

It'll be a while before the PS3 is worth what they want for it. HD-DVD sales are still outnumbering Blu-ray, even though Sony is craming it down consumers' throats.

Also, MGS being 2 Blu-ray disks? There is no way they would dump that much development and money into a project that large. Do you even realize how much time and money that would cost? I mean, realistically...

Sure, the PS3 is nice, but it's just got too much crap going against it right now to be worth anywhere near what they want for it. It could be a great system, had its launch not been one of the biggest, if not THE biggest disappointment in the industry last year.
