    PS3 in trouble

    Well, there are alot of fans of all systems here posting. I like to use this analogy with my customers about differances. If you drive a truck -- what kind of truck do you drive and why? In my much younger years I used to be a service writer(back in the 70's) and then there was only two...

    PS3 in trouble

    So you really think that Sony is going to drop the price of their BD standalones and not drop the price of their PS3? The history of Sony's console developement and sales history going back to the original PS is that as production costs go down so does the price of their console -- always...

    PS3 in trouble

    That's okay teachsac -- you know I have been called worse. Elstevo, the only company not dropping prices to sell their hardware is Nintendo. The PS3 does not have a hardware problem the 360 does and it still cost M$ money to cover for it. I expect that companies drop prices both...

    Are you happy with your PS3?

    The only feature that I know that was removed was the backwards compatibility for PS2 games. Since the XBOX360 really doesn't do backwards compatiblity either I see that as a non-issue. As for the success of the XBOX360 and its onlinegaming -- for now I will concede that to the 360 but only...

    Are you happy with your PS3?

    After reading Vurbano's stab at the PS3 (desperate as it was) I began to wonder how many PS3 owner's really like their PS3 and how they use it. I purchased mine based on experiance with Sony and that in the gaming market they have always delivered on most promises. In addition, as everyone...

    PS3 in trouble

    My, my Vurbano. Do you spend all your time trying to find bad news on Sony and the PS3? Analyst: PS3 sales boost to cause 360 price drop - Xbox 360 Fanboy Humm, seems that in order for the XBOX360 to not loose ground to the PS3 they HAD to DROP prices. Anyone here think that Sony will...

    I am running out of money -- just bought the Wii for my wife and now I have Metroid, Super Mario Space Galaxy and now I want the Kart game. This happens along with Target dropping prices on BD last week (picked up 5 titles) and my finishing Crysis this weekend (I am looking real hard at...

    Bought Wii -- need input on games

    Okay, how about games for adult women over 40, but that is as far as I will take it? I am looking at Mario/Sonic Olympic Games. Has anyone played that one?

    Bought Wii -- need input on games

    And I was very lucky to get a Wii. I was talking to one of the BB managers and he took me up to the Customer Service desk and game me a card and told me to call after 12 every day to see if one came in. He did not know when or how many but he said they usually sold out the day they came in...

    Microsoft in Talks For Blu-ray Xbox 360

    It can only make it more competitive with the PS3 if the price for the XBOX360 drops significantly. Because you have to compete with a PS3 at $399 that already includes the BD drive. It is going to be hard for M$ to offer a comparable package.

    PS3 in-game comunication -- finally!

    We have been waiting for this for some time now and it looks like this summer we will finally get XMB with the 2.4 firmaware update: Sony hails retail as PS3 hits 1m - www.mcvuk.com My only question now is what will 2.2 and 2.3 bring to the PS3? BD-Live maybe? DTSMaster-HD maybe? Home?

    Oh my god PS3 games arent really HD either

    Actually I am the guy that keeps asking who can tell the differance between 1080i and 1080p while watching and not on a static screen. If your resolution is full 1920x1080i/p then there should be no differance at all unless you are taking a progressive product and reducing it to an interlaced...

    Anybody tried a new theme for the PS3?

    I downloaded them on my PC (which for some reason is quicker) and put them on my ProStick from my camera. Put it in the PS3 card reader and downloaded into the PS3. They were trying to get it set up so you could download straight onto your PS3 -- looks like they got that setup. Picked up my...

    Anybody tried a new theme for the PS3?

    I downloaded several from PlayStation Universe (PSU) :: PS3 Themes . Lets see, I now have a Vista Theme, StarWars, LittleBigPlanet and my favorite is Okami. Man being able to change the complete look of the XMB in the PS3 is just about the coolest thing I have done with my PS3 other then play...

    Oh my god PS3 games arent really HD either

    Vurbano, you are such a PS3 BluRay troll. If you want to revisit that list you will see several titles that are using a true HD resolution for the PS3. Nobody brought anything on themselves, if game is fun then people will enjoy. The merits of the gameplay is what is really important. Do...

    Oh my god PS3 games arent really HD either

    If these games like Halo 3 and Uncharted Waters are looking this nice on the 360 and PS3 -- who should care what the resolution is. The games look great and are obviously fun to play so who cares if they are truly a HD resolution. Of course there are games that are truly in HD (like Heavenly...

    Deciding on new PS3 game

    There are several titles depending on what you like. Uncharted Waters just broke (like FarCry on the PS3)and has the slickest graphics and the best animation of any console game out there right now. Rachet and Clank (platformer) is a load of fun and looks like a Pixar cartoon at times. Lego...

    Uncharted: Drake's Fortune PSN demo November 8

    The demo reminded me of FarCry on the PC. I loved that game. And I love this game. I just read where it will be out next Thursday -- earlier then the Nov19th release date! I have already put money down on a copy. I like the B&W thing -- and as it should -- when that happens it penalizes...

    Bungie leaves Microsoft!

    Bungie creates fun games. It will be good for them to get out from under M$ hand. This will allow them to make whatever type of game that excites them. When this type of creativity is allowed the end result is that the gamer is the receipiant of a better product. As for M$ having rights to...

    Bungie leaves Microsoft!

    They want to establish themselves apart from M$ even though they will still be excepting M$ money on the Halo franchise. It will be interesting to see what Bungie will be up to as an independant.

    $399 PS3 On The Way?

    I don't believe they will remove the USB ports. But Wi-Fi, the memory stick ports, the PS2 chip, the 65nm on the Cell with the reduced cost of the Cell, the reduced cost of blue diodes , lower cost on the hard drives, reduced cost on the graphics chips -- there are alot of places where Sony can...
