I love my feckin ps3

Dude, that was MY GAME back in the day. that is awesome.

i mean, hell, i can download an emulator and all, but playing people online! brutal :rockin:

and HD with ps3 controller too... I love emulators as much as anyone else, but these crappy pc controllers and/or keyboard buttons get old with some games (i.e. MK)

Dude, ps3 is doing just fine, its making plenty of money, and they are RAKING in the dough on their blue ray sales.

Actually, Sony loses money on every PS3 sold. They'll no doubt eventually make it up (and then some) in licensing fees, but selling your consoles below value is a common practice these days.

Where's Walker? He might have some insight here. He works for nVidia and worked on some PS3 hardware, IIRC.

Blue ray has one the next gen DVD war and sony has its hands all in it.

I'd rather have the option of a next gen drive like with the 360. Rather than be forced to go Bluray with the PS3.

Remember Sony's last few format wars? ATRAC/MiniDisc/Beta...any of those ring a bell?

I've owned both and I sold them both. So far Sony's online store is designed like crap! 360 wins that area hands down.

And come on no rumble in the controller? The feckin' controller looks identical to the PS2 controller.

I'm no great fan of the PS3 specifically (it's a PITA to develop for for one thing) but the controller---- it was wise of them to go with the PS2 design-- the PS2 controller is a damn fine design-- why redesign something that works really well?

The thing is that PS3 games are now able to use 25-30 GB for a game. For preformence the PS3 is the better system. When I play most games I turn off the rumble on my xbox. Plus they had to do this for the six axis control feature. If you wanted to add a HD-DVD player to a 360 than it would cost more than a PS3. I have no alligence in systems comma I had a PS1 and when PS2 came out I waited for a X-box because it was the better system. And now I waited for the PS3 because guess what comma it is the better system. Plus and HDMI out and Optical out are great for picture and sound quality.

Actually, no they don't. I don't remember any of that. As far as buying seperately... eh, they should've given the option, but I wanted a next gen dvd player and also, like someone mentioned above, it gives more disc space for games too. So its not just for movies, but for making better games.

And, hey kornkob, I hear that it is pretty difficult to develop for that cell processor, but its only gonna be time before its not that bad. I hear sony is giving out tools to developers all the time to make it easier.
