Re: Woot
said by DiscardedVet  :said by SRFireside :wake me up when they actually do some testing. Don't wake me up until the prices are doable. $600 ........for a GAME !! jeez DV No try $600 for a Bluray player and gaming system! 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 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 |

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). |

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.  |

Hm. How many computers do you have to own, to surf the net?
Call, be stupid but usually one would do.

You can't rent Blue-Ray movies Yes you can.
and who would want to buy one for $35. The same thing was said when DVDs came out. They went for the same price back then. BTW, all the BR discs that I've see sit around $29.99 with many at $24.99.
What games are going to need more that a full DVD-9 worth of space (nothing...). Apparently you haven't read what some of the developers have said about the PS3 games then. All of them are over 9GB as of right now.
SONY has a long history of pushing media formats that die - about 10 different ones now (DAT, BETA-MAX, etc etc). So? What's your point. Sony has also had a long history in dominating the gaming industry and knows what gamers want. MS is trying to get into it and really aren't doing well at it, IMO. Besides, the two formats you listed are huge in the professional industry. |

Re: Woot
$600.00 for a Blue-ray player.... No thanks. Why would I want to support the next VHS/Beta war. Half the movie Industry supports Blue ray, the other half support HD-DVD, meaning Id have to buy two players to watch the next gen DVD's
Sorry to say I will never go back to a console gaming system again. I play PC games, and can do a lot more with the PC games then a console can do.
If I were to buy anything, its going to be the Nintendo Wii. They know how to price their product, and they are opening the back catalog of NES, SNEs, N64 games to be played from the internet. I hope PS3 becomes the real looser |

The PC is the king of gaming, look at these new consoles...they aren't consoles anymore. "Can't beat'em.....then join'em." The PC is still a PC. |
