^^What games you got so far?
Only NG:S.

I want Assassin's Creed and Heavenly Sword. I dont do FPS's, so COD 4 is not anything I am interested in.

I havent had a system in about 2 years, so I have been playing all my PS2 games that have been collecting dust for that period of time. I just purchased Planet Earth last week and cant wait to pop that in.

Also, any movie purchase from here on out will be Blu-ray.

I'll eventually buy a PS3 as just a blu-ray player, for the most part.. And to play games like MGS4 and Socom 4.. But I won't use it much for games.
i bought my ps3 for the exact same reasons...i just hope they come correct
wit socom confrontation cuz socom 3 was a bust. that game was built for campouts. they need to ditch the vehicles too. i hope they bring socom back to the run and gun style of socrack 1 and 2.

and your point is.... wii only caters to broke and casual gamers and so far they are winning the Console war. sony is simply adapting to the trends. and to alot people sony means quality. and isnt msoft saying a big FU to the early adopters by putting the HDMI. then they will add a built in HDDVD player. just wait and see
If you cant understand my point, then obviously you need to learn how to read. Hardcore people who do RESEARCH know brand name doesnt mean shit. I know people who buy nothing but Monster Cable stereo equipment. Tell me why my shit sounds the same or even better with wal mart brand equipment. I can tell you why, because I spent money on quality hardware and not exspensive ass spaker wire. I dont have a cheap ass HTIB receiver.

And only casual gamers even view this as a "war". People who have been around awhile and consider themselves hardcore gamers will make decisions based on games and not gimmicky controllers. 'l'll eventually own all three, and none of them is paying my bills, so I could care less who wins the "war" and I am not alone in that feeling.

Sony and quality shouldnt even be in the same sentence. I had my PS2 fixed by Sony (the high quality company accoridng to some people) 5 times.

I dont feel MS is saying FU to me. I get the same quality 1080i picture from HDMI AND component cables. And I wont be spending money on an HD-DVD add on or a 360 with HD-DVD built in when the toshiba player has come down enough to price to buy that and get the full HD experience and not some watered down shit

I liked sony as much as anybody back when the ps2 was the best system out there but ps3 is far from being a better system then the 360 games that are on both systems look noticaply better on the 360 cod4, madden 08, rainbow six vagas, GRAW2. And I had three ps2 and when the first one broke sony tried to charge me $150 bucks to fix the lense so i did what I had to bought a new one and switch the bar scan code in the back and returned the broke one and got my money back same thing when second one broke. At least xbox fix's it for free for three years the ps2 that broke were only a year to a year and a half old. And i think older cats that arent real gamers only very casual like maybe play one to three games a year go for the ps3 just for the blu ray why do you think so many cod4 sold for the ps3 it was the first fucking good game to come out on the ps3 since it fucking came out and it looks better on xbox 360. So you paid more to play the same game and 360's servers that some cheap ass mother fuckers always cry about having to pay 50 bucks a year for a much better online experience then ps3 free online that feels as good as it free ps2 online. More updates, less lag, better over lay out and why more downloadable content just makes xbox better if your a gamer not a casual mother fucker who play a game a few times then uses it as a coster for you soda. Online is were the next gen gamers are going to be and xbox is gear 100% ps3 is still not sure what the fuck they want to do. Let just do a lot of things instead of doing any of them well good fucking idea. I get a ps3 when it worth getting a ps3 and not for the blu ray if ps3 ever takes a lead in the so called video game system "war" its now going on three years and everybody that payed over 6 bills for the system is still waiting.

360 games that are on both systems look noticaply better on the 360 cod4
How so? From gamespot:

There are few differences between the Xbox 360 and PlayStation 3 versions. PS3 owners are blessed with a slightly more solid frame rate, although the 360 version features a little more contrast in the lighting, so it's pretty much a wash.​

madden 08
Blame EA since it's already been proven frame rate shouldn't be a problem on PS3.

rainbow six vagas, GRAW2
Came out a long time ago right? Look at the new games like COD4, Assassins Creed, Drakes fortune, etc. Graphics are sick, frame rights proper.




At least xbox fix's it for free for three years the ps2 that broke were only a year to a year and a half old.
That's lame because 1). were talking PS3 not PS/2 and 2). so what? The 360 had like a 30-40% fail rate, so what if it was free, it should be since they were defective, the PS/2's typically lasted a long time, I still have mine and I've treated it like absolute shit, left it on pause for a week at a time or more, has beer spilled all over it, hella dust, been dropped several feet, stepped on, etc.

didn't bother with the rest, got to use paragraphs man

I have had both PS2's (first gen and slim), and both lasted at least 3 years. The first gen's CD-ROM tray stopped reading discs...but so did the one in my computer that i had for 3 years...CD-ROMS tend to stop reading due to wear and tear on the laser if you dont clean it regularly. Shit, Ive had CD-ROMS stop working after minimal use on brand new HP's!

My slim PS2 is still in tact, even though i do not own it. My buddy bought it off me for $20 a year ago and he told me it still runs flawlessly. I have only known one person (out of everyone I knew that had one, which was just about everyone)who had a problem with their PS2 actually NOT working (other than the CD-ROM not reading discs) and the warranty covered the issue completely.

I only owned an XBox for I think 3 titles:Ninja Gaiden (which may be the best game I have EVER played), Otogi, and Otogi 2. I also had the XBox versions of GTA, but I only got them for the improved car graphics...big whoop. No other titles ever captured my attention. I dont play games online and i hate FPS games.

I owned a PSOne and a PS2, loved them both. I owned a GC and an XBox for minimal use.

It all depends on what you want out of your system IMHO. It just so happens that the 360 and Wii, do nothing to grab my attention wise. The PS3 does.

It is what it is.

Sales update:

From Nov. 18 through Nov. 24, Nintendo sold more than 653,000 DS units and 350,000 Wii consoles in addition to millions of games and accessories in the United States.

The DS set an all time sales record for Thanksgiving week, surpassing the previous mark of 600,000 Game Boy Advance systems sold in 2005 for the same period. Said Wii sales represent the highest single week volume outside of launch week a year ago.

I AGREE WITH PRETTY MUCH EVERYTHING YOU TYPED EXCEPT THE "WATERED DOWN" HD PART, MY 360 HD DVD PLAYER LOOKS AS GOOD OR BETTER THAN MOST THE HD DVD/BLU RAY DISPLAYS THEY HAVE AT BEST BUY OR FRY'S

Sega did not make NBA 2K8 either. Visual Concepts developed the game, 2K Games published it.


They obviously have better developers at VC than they do at EA. Although All Pro Football, developed by the same company, has the same issues on PS3 that Madden 08 does.
OH YEA WHY THE FUCK DO I STILL CALL THEM SEGA

ANYWAYS X-BOX BEEN OUT FOR A YEAR LONGER SO IT HAS MORE GAMES AND SOME OF THE GAMES ARE BETTER, I JUST DON'T REALLY LIKE PLAYING GAMES ON THE X-BOX BECAUSE OF HOW THE CONTROLLER IS I DON'T KNOW I JUST DON'T LIKE IT BUT PS3 WILL BE COMMIN OUT WIT SOME SICK ASS GAMES AND WIIIS BOUT TO HAVE MARIO KART THAT SHITS GONNA BE SICK
