New York, NY | It's more than I thought, to be honest. It's not worth $250. Had it been $200 or $175 I would definitely go for it. | |

1 edit | Re: Only launch color is white Agreed, I was hoping for $199 myself. But I'll probably get it anyway...
Plus, they're including a game! Who does THAT anymore? | |

| Re: Only launch color is white And considering that games are slated to cost $50 each, you're basically getting the $200 console plus a game at $50.
I did the math and for the price of 1 PS3 base unit ($499.99) with *NO* games, you could buy:
- 1 Wii Console (includes Wiimote Controller, Nunchuck Controller, and 1 game)
- 1 extra Wiimote
- 1 extra Nunchuck
- 3 games
- 3 N64 Wii Shop games
- 1 SNES Wii Shop game
And you would still have two bucks and change left over.
If you don't care about "high end" features like HDTV or Blue Ray (and I daresay that the majority of people out there don't care about them), then the Wii seems to have the best bang for the buck.
(Of course, I'm not a gamer and don't have $500 to spend on a console system no matter who makes it. So none of the big 3 will really be able to entice me to buy no matter how good the system is.  ) | |

Pffft!!! no really, you have seen the bizarre series of events that surrounds the PS3 right. Seriously, Sony doesn't have the time to wait for developers to figure out how to code for the cell.
As released it's going to be a slightly slower XB360. Developers who want to spend the time and money can theoretically get better performance on PS3; but how many developers are going to invest that time...keep in mind the massive wall of "minimum necessary to get it to work" ports there are on the PC. Now realize your hedging your bets that developers are suddenly going to decide to properly port code to the cell, an architecture that appears to be harder to work with than PC. Wait for your PS3, but don't be surprised if the majority of what you get are straight XB360 ports; which won't run as fast on PS3 as they did on 360.

| said by gate1975mlm :Well for me PS3 is all I want. It will have the best looking games. All I know is that if the PS2 is anything, the PS3 will be a gigantic load of nearly unused hardware. Most of my games are of limited franchises (Metal Gear Solid, GTA) and retro games. All the rest of the PS2 games, unfortunately, are big "Eh?" inducers.
And another thing: load time. I can boot my GC and be into game menus and options within the first minute. My Playstation games require "warm up" time, as well as additional load screens between areas. Graphics are a nice thing, but I'm impatient with my console games. Currently, only Nintendo has gotten the picture. Blue-ray or not, I'd be seriously put off with additional warm-up time delays. | |

Actually Wii has better power behind it. Sony did somthing wrong in the programming of the "video card" (I lost my memory here, that is why I did that) so the video and processor doesn't communicate correctly. And plus bigger discs (blue ray) doesn't mean better graphics, it just means more gameplay. But seriously who would like to play a 500 hour game? PS3 won't rule them all. More people are out to buy the xbox 360 then they are anything else for two reasons....It isn't going to be as expensive as the PS3 and it has more mature games than the Wii. So if I was going to say that any of them are going to rule it would be the xbox 360. And no I am not an xbox fan, I am more of a Nintendo fan than anything. And if I do say that Nintendo isn't going to get more mature games under their belt, they are going to go under. | |

@comcast.net | From a technological standpoint, you may be correct in your statement that it "dominate" other consoles. However, I also don't think you should have to take out a second mortgage simply to get a next-gen game console that comes with no games. | |

There's plenty of fun games that lack cutting-edge graphics, as well as lame games that have mind-blowing graphics. On the flip side though, there's also fun games with awesome graphics, and lame games with less-than-luster graphics. | |
