    i have said this several times.

    ps3 is not for everyone and its clearly not for you either svtstang.

    the ps3 will out''CELL'' like hot cakes this holiday season theres nothing that can stop that.

    I've heard it all now!ps3 making the PC obselete is complete and utter nonsense.ps3 specs wont be able to compete in the longrun,online service cant even be compared to that of a PC's,PC fans are even more diehard than the most loyal sony or MS fans.This is just crazy...the ps3 WILL NOT be the messiah of videogame consoles!Sony had what is notably the worst showing at e3 by a mile and even still theres ludacris talk like this.Ps3 will be a great system why cant we just leave it at that?Whenever you put something on a pedastol like this it is sure to dissapoint...just TOO much hype.This is why the bashing of the ps3 starts is because of crazy talk like this,Phil harrison is nuts

    arnt u clever LMFAO!!! Im not the only person who feels this way, just take a look round the net and u will see my opinion is justified. I love sony, i have had 3 ps1s and 2 ps2s, as well a psp. I just dont agree with their pricing strategy and how much games are gonna cost, thats all. Trust me, if at some point the ps3 w/60 gig hdd costs 350 bucks, i will be the first in line.

    More people have a PC than a ps3 and that is why this conversation is ridiclous.Theres more gamers on the pc flat out.I hate pC games mainly because i suck at them but even i know that MS and sony cant even touch the PC when it comes to gaming,the technology moves to fast

    this arugment is ridiculous..

    PS3 will easily sell at its starting price because Playstation is a global brand name beyond reason. Even if its crap itll sell. Dreamcast was a complete different situation. Gaming these days is much more mainstream, and at the front of that is Playstation. And lets face it, 500 is fine for alotta people in this world. Its the game thatll be a rip. 70e-100e? not thanks!

    Secondly, PC gaming is completely different. I know alotta people, like myself, play all games on all platforms. But no one plays RTS on consoles.. not many people play FPS on consoles.. well not on the PS2 anyways, xbox is ok (halo, call of duty, etc) but there is a ridiculous amount PC-only games..games that only work on PC. Much like theres a serious amount of games that only really work on consoles with aload of mates, Tekken, Mario Kart, Pro Evo, etc. And theres all those crazy rhythm based Jap games

    In short, different gaming platforms for different games for different people.

    ' ' when it comes to gaming,the technology moves to fast ' '

    yeah but at what price ??? i dont know if i get u right r u saying theres more pc gamers in the world then console gamers.

    so theres alot of rich people out there that can easily put 1000$ on their computers everyyear to play the latest pc games.

    i know theres millions of people around the world who can ^^ and those are the people who are going to buy ps3 @ 599$ no matter what.

    price is not a factor.

    the ps3 can easily replace pc's just for the price alone.not mentioning all the features.

    so your saying the ps3 has more features than a pc? thats fecking ridiculous.. a pc is the most versatile machine in gaming. any new tecnology can be adapted to a pc.

    Will the PS3 allow me to:

    1. Rip DVD's and back them up?
    2. Partition the hard drive and configure a dual boot Windows and Linux system?
    3. Hook up my digital camcorder to transfer and edit home videos?
    4. Hook up my digital camera and run Photoshop to edit my pictures?
    5. Burn CD's, DVD's and Bluray discs?
    6. Transfer files over a network?
    7. Run my favorite PC only RTS games?
    8. Record high-definition programs from my cable box to my hard drive and play them back at full high def resolution?


    Thank you very much but I think I'll keep my PC.

    PC gamers and enthusiasts pay a premium for versatility, power and the ability to upgrade to the latest technology.

    Ty guys, i thought i was the only here that thought that the ps3 was the the end off all entertainment outlets. Like all these guys have pointed out[ty;)] the ps3 will have a core audience just ever other console in hostory, but to think it is gonna replace comps is just arrogant and ignorant.

    EDIT - Kain, the price is not the problemm its the statement that ps3 is gonna the take over the gaming and comp market, and anybody with half a brain understands that this is not gonna happen. Im sure theres a bunch of sony fan boys here, but lets get real...

    ^^^^What nonsense do you speak of the xbox 360 costing $900 at launch? maybe on ebay which the ps3 will surely cost more than that.

    svtstang is correct - the point of the debate is not the price. It is whether the PS3 can replace the PC.

    I just got a call from a friend who's been following this thread and he says the main reason why the PS3 will not replace the PC is very simple: You can't download PORN on the PS3!

    Its kinda obviuos, with the lackluster showing at E3, the ps3 hasnt developed the hype necessary for ppl to WANT to pay a grand for the system. Only ppl that will pay that much are he wealthy, the same ppl that buy their kids $50,000 BMW's when their kids turn 16. I love Sony, but it aint lookin good....

    LOL thats great, never thought about that;)

    people don't wanna pay 4000 americans and keep having to upgrade they would rather buy a ps3 which has better graphix for 600 americans. so yea i could see the end of consules i mean people that play pc games are hardcore but system players are more casual.

    Huh????????? Not many ppl pay $4000 for a rig to play games on, and for the people that do, im sure they wont even consider purchasing the ps3, its not even in the same league as a comp with that price tag.

    for a lot of people its a hobbie to put shit loads of money into making their pc the ultimate gaming machine, me included.

    as for graphics, well crysis was by far the best looking game at e3, with bioshock and mass effect taking 2nd and 3rd so where are the ps3 games. crysis looks so real its just crazy, ps3 and xbox 360 will most probably make games looking that good in say one year but in one year pc would have advanced once again.

    RTS games as of now can not be played on console, but from what i hear on ign, the new lord of the rings game on xbox 360 has cracked it. so i hope it makes way for games like comand and conker, and total wars.

    actually bioshock is for ps3 too, also have u not seen every single working ps3 title at e3 that blows 360 away. ummmmm hello mgs4, ff13 will blow 360 away.
