This aught to be an interesting take on the both. Although if you check out the article they are still testing, so there isn't really any new news other than they had some needed to get used to the new menu system.
Woot 1st post. |

And you can surf the net with it so its even sort of a computer. $600 sounds like a good deal to me.
Please show me where you can buy a Bluray player for under $600?
By the way the PS3 is selling really fast in Japen! Its going to be HUGE!

By 2008 there will be a huge graphic difference between the Xbox 360 and the PS3! Xbox 360 will not even be in the same league as PS3! Trust me on this
I am talking about First party games of course. |

Well duh, if there was 4 millino that would happen too. But Sony had to deal with a little thing called manufacturing problems on their spiffy new technology and well..its gonna bite them for awhile until blue diodes are more easily to get |

PS3
I am definitely going to pick up a PS3 (so I can play MGS 4: Guns of the Patriots), but in about 2-3 years when I can pick up the system for a couple hundred bucks, lol.
There is no way in hell I am going to pay over $3-400 for any system. I finally picked up PS2 and xbox when they were around $150 and I am enjoying the hell out of the games I can now pick up for 10-20 bucks. I just don't get the benefit of full servers on some games.
IMO Sony screwed up adding Blu-Ray to all systems. It should have been an external option. It drove the price way too high, and I don't think many will see the Blu-Ray as a deal maker to buy the system. Who knows though, that might change in a couple years.
I also read in Game Informer on a preview of a game (I can't remember which one. I will quote the whole reference if called out) that the load times will be longer for PS3 as opposed to the 360 because of the Blu-Ray drive. That's definitely not a selling point either. |

You can copy PS3 games to the hard drive so they can load up much faster And sorry to tell you but you are going to have a real long wait to be able to buy the PS3 for under even $300 |

I just don't get it. People drooling over some shiny overpriced gadgets. Because of idiots like you the game systems are selling at $600 and games are $60... 
Idiots don't mind wasting a lot of money I guess... |

Trust me on this I am talking about First party games of course. Ummm... Are you smoking crack? I seriously doubt it. At best the PS3 will have a slight edge over the 360. Hardware wise, the differences about equal out. And, how long will it be before the PS3 has a polished game of the same quality as Gears Of War.
Also, I'll take Microsofts Live! over a 3rd party multiplayer solution any day.
P.S. By 2008 the Blue-Ray format will be dead or dying too. Anyone that buys a PS3 is going to be spending $200-300 extra for a Blue-Ray drive. You can't rent Blue-Ray movies and who would want to buy one for $35. What games are going to need more that a full DVD-9 worth of space (nothing...). SONY has a long history of pushing media formats that die - about 10 different ones now (DAT, BETA-MAX, etc etc). |

Idiots don't mind wasting a lot of money I guess... My mother bought me Atari (2600) Adventure! on my birthday in 1978. I was only 8 years old but I remember it because she got a bit ticket off. The retail price of Adventure! was $59 at the mall. Games are still the same price and minimum wage is up about 300%. So with 1/3 of the work you can buy a game now that's 10,000 times better than those Atari 2600 games.
Wii: $259
360: $299-$399
PS3: $499-$599
Duurrrrr... who's the idiot? |

There, I just saved you a bunch of time, consideration, and money.  The same goes for the 360. Just get the Wii and you should be set for when you enter the 21st Century.  |
