'Playstation Home' To Be Announced Today
Service will launch this fall...
The NY Times confirms that Sony's answer to Xbox Live (dubbed Playstation Home) is indeed on the way. Details should be unveiled today at the game developer's conference, and the free service should go live this fall. Gaming blog Kotaku broke the news last week and was blacklisted (then subsequently un-blacklisted) by Sony execs. Microsoft, meanwhile, says they've hit the six million gamer mark with their online service, releasing a fact sheet saying that gamers have spent 2.3 billion hours on the network (95 million days of gaming or over 260,000 years). update: Joystiq offers more details from the announcement.

Re: Playstation Home

You got to be kidding me. You bought a piss of shit. Just deal with it. Xbox360 and live are just living it up. PS3 should have had this off the ground before the release of there console. Just sad. If you think the ps3 is better than the xbox360. Then you need to open your eyes again. All my local retailers are full of ps3. They are not moving. PS3 lost this round. And when halo3 comes out, it will be even worse. PS3 = equals door stop!

I don't know why people compare the Wii to the 360 or PS3. The Wii is NOT next Gen. Even Nintendo admits that. Comparing the Wii to the 360 or PS3 is the same as comparing the PS2 or XBOX to the 360 or PS3. Apples and oranges.

You live out in some small town cause every place here is still sold out of the PS3 and will be for a while.. Now the XBox360 is stocked on shelves.. Man walmart here hasn't even sold one XBox360 in over 2 weeks....

Re: Playstation Home

Once again you are mislead. I am hearing from more people. PS3 are not moving. I went to best buy , ebgames , circuit city, rhino and walmart. All said ps3 are not moving. PS3 lost this round. Deal with it. Us xbox people dealt with it last round. We took it with pride also. But now ps3 is third on the block. All the ps3 fanboys are getting worried. To many strikes against ps3. 1. Over priced system. 2. lack of games. 3. NO online. Do I need to say more. Oh yeah live just hit the 6 million mark. That is 4 months ahead of schedule. Can you say the same for ps3?

You hear you hear. From who, 360 fanboys? Grow up.

All I know is evertime the local Wal-Mart gets a PS3 in it goes right out. Meanwhile 360s are sitting on the shelves.

Anyways I could care less if 360 fanboys buy 360s. Who gvies a rats ass. Quit hating. Why not just be happy with what you have? Ironically 360 fanboys are most likely to have Macs or use Linux and use FireFox.

Re: Playstation Home

I'm going to have to disagree there. I can walk into any Wal-Mart, Best Buy, or pretty much any other electronics store and get a PS3. The PS3 is a failure. The Xbox 360 wasn't available for something like 4-6 months after it was released. I could care less about either of the consoles but that's the sad truth. The Wii is going to win this round. Its already vastly ahead of the PS3 and I'm pretty sure it will overtake the 360 in the next year or so as long as the momentum keeps up. The only console that I have any interest in is the Wii. Its actually a lot of fun to play. The PS3 is the same thing in a more expensive box with prettier pictures.You can spout off all you want about the PS3 and its "next-gen" graphics or its supposed power or whatever you PS3 fanboys tell yourselves to justify the pile of money spent on a piece of crap. Sorry, my PC has had better graphics than your little game box for years and I'm not impressed by a multi-core machine that really doesn't do much. Before you go talking about the "worst" fanboys, better look in the mirror, your one of the Sony ones. And you really should take a good look at all the "innovations" that Sony says they are coming up with. They are nothing more than ripoffs of other successful things like Xbox live and the Nintendo Mii's. I could go on and on but why bother....

Re: Playstation Home

I dont think so. Look at all the hype that Sony put out before the thing was released. They said there were going to be a million at launch and that people would have a hard time finding them for decades... and so on and so on. Over a million units sold is good, but by comparison between the sales of the 360 and the Wii, its effectively nothing. PS3s are easy to find now, and not just the lower version one. So far, Sony hasn't delivered the killer system they have been harping on for the last year thus I call it's a failure in my book.

Umm pretty sure that "rip offs" is where ol' Mr. Gates got his success from. If that poor guy came up with an original idea, the earth would cease to exist. Granted that he might tweak something here and there, but all he does is put a pretty bow on an already working product.

Re: Playstation Home

ya BF69 they just hatters

and 1) System isn't over priced its actually underpriced Sony is losing money on every system sold. 2) ya how many games did XBox360 have at launch 2? 3) There is online I play Resistance Fall of Man online everynight. actually Sony just announced they have reached the 6 million mark on Playstation Network with over 80 billion hours of play.. So took XBox360 a year to do what Sony has done in a few months.. thats Microcrap for you oh I mean Microsoft....

I wouldn't even buy a XBox360 only reason I have it is cause I won it in a contest... Only good game for it is Gears of War which Resistance Fall of Man is alot better...

You know the first step to recovery is admitting you have a problem (that your XBox Fanboy)... Its okay we have all been there at one point in time.. oh wait no I haven't thank god....

GO Sony keep up the good work

Now what are you ps3 fanboys going to do when halo3 comes out? There is NO game on earth that can stand up to that game. For the system being overpriced. It is way overpriced. Why you think the systems are not moving? And dont try to tell me they are moving. I see the stacks. I talk to the workers of these retail stores. PS3 is in the same boat as zune. Just not making it in the real world. Maybe next generation! I will talk to you later i got to play on live. LMFAO

Re: Playstation Home

ya 360 is whopping ps3 ass spanking us saying "why you so much better then us.. give us a fighting chance" lets see RFOM is alot better then GOW. lets see graphics are alot better, no lag, no frequent disconnects.. come on Halo is like the worst series of all time..... come on they had have people buy a even crappier game "Crackdown" just to get them to play the Halo 3 demo. Halo 1 stunk and Halo 2 stunk even worse... Systems are moving alot more then the 360 PS3 is sold out everywhere along with the Wii but look you can see hundreds of 360 on shelves and thats in just one store... nobody buying XBox360 they have sold 10,000,000 come on PS3 has already sold over 6,000,000 and keeps climbing....

XBox360 = just a white ugly paperweight

again the first step to recovery is to admit you have a problem we cannot help you until you admit your problem.

Re: Playstation Home

If you ask me both you AND dr3yec are spouting fanboy garbage. There are pros and cons for both systems and it's way too soon to find out who will come out on top.

Xbox 360

Good
- More games
- Superior online service
- More console units sold
- Been out longer

Bad
- No HD out of the box (and is more expensive than the PS3 overall when adding one).
- Heating issues with 'brick' adapter
- Lacks features standard on PS3 (HDMI, WiFi, memory card, etc).

PS3

Good
- Better performance potential
- Completely backwards compatible with older PS games
- HD player built in
- More built in features

Bad
- Lack of killer games
- More expensive initially
- Online features lacking

Love the console you love, but this piss-fest on who's the best is really annoying and lack any true objective clarity. IT'S TOO SOON TO TELL!! The PS3 just came out and hasn't rolled out all of its features. The 360 hasn't had its potentially completely tapped either. I say wait another 12 months and then we can see how your favorite console is doing against the competition.

Re: Playstation Home

microsoft is coming out with another 360 with a 120gb hard drive, hd dvd drive, and hdmi ports. The 360 already comes out of the box with HD capabilities. The ps3 is not better performance potential, tests have already shown the 360 is able to put out more then the ps3 in graphics and speed. And the ps3 is not completely backwords compatible, many games you still cant play or the ones that do play dont even work correctly.

Which means current XBox 360 owners need to buy a whole new console to get these benefits? Will current 360 owners get a change to get these features on their console? If so how much is it all going to cost them?
said by Cal18 :

What tests? What are they based on? Current games that are out? Processing power between the 360's core and the PS3's core? Keep in mind the PS3 has eight working subprocessors, and once they are utilized the real power behind the console will start to show.
said by Cal18 :

As of the last firmware update just about all of the previous PS and PS2 games will work on the PS3. When you look at the 360's backwards compatibility there simply is no comparison.

very interesting my uncle in law who works for Microsoft says that entire statement is false.

They have no plans to create a bigger hard drive. a third party company may. They have no plans to create a new version of xbox360 let alone one with build in hd dvd drive... The 360 does currently support HD but not full true HD via HDMI Connectivity... And no plans to add that... And yes the ps3 maybe not completely backwords compatible but its atleast at 95% compared too XBox360's 10% backwards compatability.... I have 20 Regular XBox games and out of all of them the only ones that work on the 360 are Halo and Halo 2.......

So you might wanna fire your source for information.

I smell a fanboy..and it is infront a pile of poo.

First: there are piles of PS3s; the 20G model. Who wants that? Not me.
Second: you fail to mention that many of the PS3 systems are BUNDLES. It's nto just a $599 box; it is now a $999 box. You have to take these 6+ titles along with the $599 game.

Last: are there many PS3s cooking and dying? Are they noisey and overheating? Are the games that ARE available any good?

Really. This is just trolling fanboy fodder. Like Halo franchise? Get a 360. Want Bluray movie playing? Get PS3. Want your kids and family to have fun? Get a Wii. Want it all? Buy them all! (soon, we'll hear that Videogames are waste of time and money. But until they ban them, go play inside. Stay off my bike trails.)

Wow... you've got to be what... 14? Grow up my friend.

The PS3 was released a little less than 6 months ago. The 360 was released when there was no other next generation system available. Of course it sold quickly! Give it time; the PS3 is the better system. I've played both and there is no comparison. The 360 will always have Halo which will keep it in the running but the PS3 is the better overall system (which explains the inflated price).

You know, I think the PS3 is a fine system. So is the XBox360... Heck, the Wee is too...

I travel all over the country for work. I live in Metro Los Angeles. Every Best Buy, Circuit City, and Walmart I've been to in the area has PS3s available... 4 was the least in an Orange County Best Buy, and 15 in a Best Buy near El Monte.... I will buy a PS3 when the prices come down a couple hundred dollars to maybe $300. Maybe where you live, presumably Virginia Beach, VA, is a PS3 mecca, but everywhere I've checked from Maine to California has many PS3s in stock...

Exactly. The Wii was never referred to as "next" gen, but rather was referred to as "new" gen.

it's a different type of system, and a different type of gaming experience. That's like trying to compare apples to meat. The PS3 adn the XBOX 360 is what you should be comparing, that's more like two fruits.

For me, that's the best part of being a 360 owner. The wait for Sony to get their act together, and actually have a game library worth investing in is so much easier with a 360 and Live.

360 vs ps3

some people dont need the hd dvd wifi 60gb hard drive, and the hdmi, making it cheaper to get then the ps3. Also there coming out with a new 360 that is going to have a 120gb hard drive and hdmi ports, with the hd dvd player all in one. Also where did you hear about the ps3 having 6mil online customers, thats a lie. Also no ps3 are selling where I live. And it looks like the ps3 is copying the 360 with all of its new updates they are doing to it.

Re: Look at the numbers fanbois

Exactly. Nintendo will be the big FINANCIAL winner this time around. And that's the only measure that counts. Even if Sony sold as many PS3 as Nintendo sold Wiis, they'd still lose a whole lot more money due to the high cost of their machine. My understanding is that Nintendo makes a little bit of cash on each console sold.

Nintendo is spanking everybody else.

I think PS3 in a year will be much better

The PS3 should have been released with Playstation Home along with some hit titles. That's one reason it's not doing so well along with the cost.

Xbox360 does have the best games and online interface right now. In a year you will see the PS3 doing MUCH better than it is today. Correct me if I'm wrong, but I thought I read that PS2 is still out selling all of them?

Anyway I'll stick with my PS3, since I can play all my PS2 games on it and I get a nice blue ray player on top of it all...

Sony is taking a drumming..

I'm more of a PC Gamer but even I can see Sony is taking a beating. Here are some recent articles from the Playstation magazine.

PC > all but maybe the Wii

meh you all should just get a PC and get over your selves

ill wait for the "slim" PS3 thank you and ill get a 360 when its 200 bucks for the one with the HDD

oh yea bought a Wii a week ago BEST CONSOLE EVER
why you ask it can do some thing i cant on PC

lets see PC vs. Consoles
PC better graphics then both the PS3 and 360
better online
more types of games
oh yea i can do REAL WORK on a PC
my PC can play blu-ray OR HD-DVD once i see what wins
PC has been "HD" since 1996
better sound

and what your all forgetting is regardless of what system you get youll need a $800+ HDTV to play it on if you want HD
other then maybe the 360 since it can use a VGA monitor

my PC is worth ~1500
lets see a PS3 costs 600 + you need some games soo another 150 there
add another game pad 50 bucks there
oh you need a nice 5.1 setup so add 400 there
and a 1080p HDTV with HDCP lets be nice and say 500
were up to 1650 bucks befor tax
here thats about 8%
for a total of $1782
no thanks

I seriously do wish that a new console comes out from a smaller company that has "less experience" in the video gaming market, has rampant success even if it comes second and shuts all of you fanboys up.

Take a product and just appreciate for what it is worth if you can't stop the urge to continuously spout the problems of another.

Go talk about which god is better or something.

Re: Phantom

I don't see how a smaller company making a console would make much of a difference. All you would have is another console for fans/anti-fans to scream hate/love over. It's the Microsoft/Sony fanboys that are the problem on that end.

What I find amusing...

I think it's amusing that I can go into any retailer here in Lubbock, TX, and I can find PS3s and Xbox360's, but there's not a Wii to be found. And I know they're shipping out here.

Personally, I agree with the guy who said the PC was the greatest gamer system.
