Dunno if we have any big gamers here. I figured it'd be cool to have a discussion about the PS3, it being the newest of the new and all. I managed to get my hands on the 20gig at Best Buy about a week ago and I totally thing the thing is great. I'd say the funniest issue is the comparison of the PS3 to an Xbox 360. Since it is being sold as a substitute its hard to not compare, but can you really? The 360 has been out for well over a year now and PS3 is BRAND NEW and the graphics are pretty much the same. So imagine PS3 in one year and compare that to the 360 games of now, then you have an even match.Another major selling point is Blu-Ray. Its 500-600 bucks for a BD Player, or you can get a PS3 for 500 and have both. lol Cost of 360 is 400+200 for the HD-DVD external drive add on. lawl....Another major selling point is Blu-Ray.

I had mine preordered but was sold out. I was offered the 360 but took a refund instead since my brother already owns one. After much wait it wasn't really worth the big wait. Lots of issues here in there resulting in overheating or the power button not working and so on. There is very miniscule difference in terms of graphics between PS3 and 360 but in some games, PS3 wins in favor by just abit but nothing you would really notice when one is gaming. 360 didn't have a HD-DVD player until now which is sold seperately where as the PS3 came with a BD player which is by far much better than the standard ones released today. I'm no fanboy, I just grab any console that leads me to the games I most desire (aka FF13, RE5, etc.). This coming December or next year they will have resolved all these issues from the launch date of the previous PS3's. Be sure to grab your hands on one if you haven't yet. 1 Million units or so to be sold by the end of year... or was it next year? Anywho grab one while you can or wait till it gets cheaper since there were no good launch releases at the startlol. I preordered my ps3, and got itimmediately put it up on ebay and earned roughly $1000 lol. Enough to get me a 360 and a wii :DQuote:OPB: Etherlol. I preordered my ps3, and got it immediately put it up on ebay and earned roughly $1000 lol. Enough to get me a 360 and a wiiniiiice i like your style! haha. i really want a ps3, and a wii... so im really debating on what i should get... ps3 would be really nice, but then again a wii has twilight princess!!!! its so hard to choose! haha... probably ps3, though...Actually, the 360 HD-DVD add-on thingie is only to watch movies. (at least thats what i've heard). But i've been very curious about the current gen-wars, it seems like xbox has a nice lead but the ps3 might have a huge comeback. Though sony's quite a bitch towards europe, delaying almost everything 6 months. (even ps2 games)And M$ launches almost everything worldwide. Wondering why im not mentioning the Wii in the gen-wars? simple, its because we'r all getting a Wii due to cheapness and nostalgia feeling when you download Super Mario Brothers on that virtual console.That and I really want to play Trauma Center standing and yelling in my living room with my sound system...instead of on my DS with headphones...then people just thing you're weird..Quote:OPB: KhalReblic23I really want to play Trauma Centertrauma center is AMAZING on the wii! haha. its so great! i pretended to be dr. tenma from monster, haha. i always got A's :D its a great time. anyway... the ps3 is a great system, and i wish i had one. i would rather have it than a 360 mainly because of the controller... but a couple of games i really wanna play are final fantasy xiii (ps3), and assassins creed (both). those will be AMAZING!love all console, but have no time to play it since i can't take it to school and i spent most of my time in school. So i take my laptop filled with hentai game instead and play it on lunch break, though i got scolded by the teacher when he found out, he said it's a sin and im a sinner:nowai: luckily he didn't confiscate my laptop:sohappy:Yeah... If i have a steady income ill try and get all 3 systems...If I could find a Job...me will try to get one later in the year..
