Calm and Quiet, Peaceful Console Debate Thread.

thats the lovely thing they make money coming and going and yet wont slim down a bit to save money if they dont fool with the reign system then they can just press X amount number of videos for the world and be done with it,the number would be a few million copy's lower than what is curently pressed for each region,in the end they have to force some BS region system in order to make more money off some things and ignore their things. and they could easily add a software flag to the NTSC PS3 and have it convert "pal" to its outputs that would output in pal for the EU region,we are talking about 20-50 to save consumers all over the world time and hassle yet they fail and thus moding shall go on.

 

I totally would support the ps3 if it didnt have blu-ray! Very very bad move by sony to put such a good reputation of a gameing line on the line by adding worthless technonogy to early and possibly fail due to war.,

 

You dont know mcuh about technology do you? How is adding blu-ray to ps3 a bad thing. No infact it is a good thing.

 

if something moves forward, those unable to move with it hate it because they cant have it. if someone is used to dvd or to the small oppotunities of space it lets for gaming, then they could be ignorant of more and not care less because its easier to stay with what they have.

 

not because i cant move with it but because right now xXx on BD looks exactly the same as on upconverted xXx DVD. only DVD $20+$50= $70 but BD $600ps3+30$= 630$ I want my money back.

 

Okay that is not the point though it trys to look better (blu-ray) but it dosent. But the fact it can hold more information is thepoint. I dont own any blu-ray movies because there is no difference in vision. So Id rather have a cheaper dvd that cost less and does the same. But for games I think blu-ray is better because of how much it holds. I think when someone says "ps3 because it has that blu-ray crap". Thats just a reason for 360 fans to think ps3 sucks, and most of them probably dont even know wht blu-ray is....

 

Not to mention no real gain in loading times but then these are first gen games,I'll the system a year but even still the price is stupid the games are no worse than normal 50-60 a pop,I can easily see the PS3 being good in 4+ years but till then it blows.

 

I wouldnt say Blu-Ray is crap but there should have only been one either HD-DVD or Blu-Ray why?
Because now we will have to buy both players because some companioes like 20th century Fox support HD-DVD while companies like Walt Disney Support Blu-Ray whihc means one will be relasing the movie on this format while teh other on the other which I think sucks sayign that you have a Blu-Ray player and it will play all movies is wrong its gonna be like 50/50 50% HD-DVD and 50% Blu-Ray but I think HD-DVD could pull out in front as in the past media's that the Sony group all the comapnies with them Samsung etc that support that format the Media has always gone crap like with those Discs in the 80's the optical ones like records but not and those VCR tapes the smaller ones then normal Tapes they have all gone sour and have all been supported by the group that supports but when all them came toghter in the 90's they sucvcesfully made a format which in was relased in 1996 that wen to become like the most succesfull format ever made besides VHS they were DVD's,
I think thats what they should have done this time.

 

Blu-ray isn't crap.

But it also isn't the saving grace of games, either, as many people claim it to be. People say how crippled the 360 games are going to be because the storage capicity of a dvd 9, and then in turn come to the conclusion that the quality of the games will suffer.

dazila
look at +/- it was the same 2 competing formats HD and BR are like that and they are also fighting for who gets hollywood so even more silliness is in play,the short of it is both formats suck because both are to costly but it seems the war is getting dirty price cuts and combo drives looks like we might have a victory near the end of the eyar ,but I dout it.

oofRome
First looking at it the PS3 has a advantage over the 360 and in some ways it still does but when you boil everythign down the main difference will be the 360 will have games on acouple discs.

the question I have that has yet to be answered is would Oblivion load faster on the PS3 from reasaerch I have done it seems only sightly.

all in all there is little diffrance in the PS3 and 360 the price is almsot the same once you add everything up (even tho its cheaper to use a core and mem card) the games have the same over all lack of polish and detail in game play, MS and Sony are 2 sides of the same media happy coin,I do see SOnys side shining more since they will have the games but it still seems like it will be a hollow shine...

 

hey look the last thing anyone wants is a duel format soceity with no real winner then that just SUCKS for everyone. trust me dont nobody want to go there.

cool BD can hold 25 or 50 or 100GB per disc but right now a game is more than 7GB? No. so BD in gaming terms right now is just a expensive form of DRM, that would get beaten by rip images on HD instead of direct burn .

i have a 360 but im no fan boy. I think sony's play station lines of consoles has been great, but VERY Bad move intermixing risky next gen disc formats with gaming... bad move. lets hope ps3 Doesnt do down because of Blu-ray!

o btw Samsung BD player only $800 now! wow! now every common folk can go grab this junk!

 

well like anyhtign corperate they have to play patty cake then bake the winner...err....soemthign like that,anyway only time will weed out a "winner" or at least something the corperations like.

 

I hope your being sarcastic...

 

I think he was...
I just came back from eb games and pre orderd a 60gb Ps3 and F1 Championship edition wohoooo....
I live in australia so there goes 999.95 for a very good cause,I was looking at resitance fall of man cover I think i might get it but later I also pre orderd super mario galaxy for the Wii dont even know the realeaswe dat but i did it that was 99.895 but i only paid 20% deposit

 

Be warned of the PS3 movie setup a import system wont play EU/Pal regioned movies unless its a PAL PS3,they cocked up and made movie setup annoying dividing it by pal and ntsc regions so a pal system only works with pal movies,games are supposed to be region free but still bear region flags.....

 

Ja I know thats why I didnt buy one of Ebay why im waiting till march dam f1 on ps3 looks so cool any one else reckon imean the tyre treads look real and blobs of water come onto the screen that look like real life rain drops any way not everyinone might like that game but I do Im a Big Fan of Formula one since 97 and Ive gone to every melboure GP since it started in 1996 and have had countless autographs LOL! and have owned every f1 game since F1 96 inlucding Pole Position 64 and Grand Prix 2 on n64 so you see LOL!

 

I wouldn’t say the price of the ps3 is too bad because when you think of everything that’s actually a deal like the blu-ray player and other stuff. Sony is actually loosing money for each consol they sell but they make money off of the games. It just seems too much to pay because people aren’t used to paying that much for a system, which is still a lot of money.

 

I still dont see the big deal about the price, where i live theres very little difference in the PS3 launch price compared to the PS2's launch price ages ago. The 360 is a fair bit cheaper though.

Compression can only go so far, and with compression comes lag and slow loading and more work for the system to do. BlueDragon for 360 is meant to already be at 3 DVD-DL's thats around 15-18gb the same as several launch PS3 games.

 

well i paid well not me and Xmas present well anyway the ps2 here in Australia i got one for Xmas 01 it was 699au and i remember the eb games that just opend back then had a sign saying Trade in A Nintendo 64 console or a Playstation 1 with 10 games of either type and recive the Brand New Playstation 2 for just $529 I think that is gonna be stuck in my head forever LOL!
