PS3 Discussion Thread

What else does the ps3 do besides games and dvd player? the 360 streams media and whatnot.

[Marlie]

The PS3 stream media also. The one of the firmware upgrades that came allows you to search for and stream from media servers. You should check out some of these PS3 hacks pages that I go visit to learn more.

PS3 = flop

they're dropping the price less than 9 months after it launched because it's being eaten alive by xbox 360 and wii... especially wii (3:1) ..and don't forget the 260 has been out for over a year with no price drop in sight

it has 2 good games out so far 1) resistance 2) wait.. no... just the one

no game included, one controller included... controller = $50, game = $60

developers are getting pissed off at sony because of the amount of difficulty involved in developing games for the platform. sony is losing a lot of exclusives


face it... ps3 is a glorified blu-ray player

and sadly, it's a much better deal if you look at it that way

[Marlie]

Lemme guess you own a 360 rite?

It's not bad business considering that Square is a traditional Japanese company. Putting their main franchise on a American made console will alienate their Japanese fanbase. I don't think Square is willing to do that. Besides, Square may hope that the FF zombies will buy a PS3 just to play XIII. It's not out of the realm of possibly.

It's way too early to say that PS3 is a flop. A price drop won't make a difference for Sony. They were LOSING money by selling the PS3 at it's current price. A price drop off may get more people to buy it but it won't make much of a difference.

As for the exclusive thing, this has been brought up before. The development cost for games this gen has skyrocketed. Developers are making their games multi-platform to try to cut loses. The only way now for the market to stay competitive is to give those multi-platform games exclusive downloadable content. Like what Rockstar is doing with GTA IV.

[KurosakiTaichou]

IT wouldn't alienate, it would broaden. I didn't say only make it for xbox, if they ported some version how would it alienate their japanese audience?

[iron21]

I want to buy a PS3 but,it cost to much.

warhawk is looking badass and so is tekken 6, Brian used a SHOTGUN!!!! for a juggle combo. Defniately picking up DMC4, GTA4 and MGS4 with some secondary titles as the former are my primary titles. I seen on wiki that there might be a Zone of the enders 3 and if that is true then i will be so happy.

[tauzins]

^^^^^^^ hey wanna know how to get the warhawk beta? i can hook u up. but yea i got the beta and it is AMAZING soo fun with motion sensoring.

you reall dont no what your talking about. blockbuster has recently announced that they are only gonna rent bluray, and u know what happens ? 30% in hd dvd preorders are canceled. bam bluray goes up.

also developers say ps3 is so easy to develop for and the ones who say its hard are freaking retarded its just TOO much for them to do Like ps3 has so much of a range for them to add things etc. while other consoles are limited.

the developers who are working on LAIR said ps3 is really easy to develop on and that other developers who said it is hard should not be believed.

[KurosakiTaichou]

Well DMC4 isn't incentive to buy a PS3 since its own the 360 too, same with GTA4 and im not a fan of the MGS series. I think sony needs to come out with some 1st party games. I mean yeah you want other developers to make games on your system, but Sony made the system therefore they could use the full power of the PS3 faster than others. If i saw a great game that was first party i would really go and buy one for full price. For now, im waiting till its in the 400-500 range.

I have been a ps fan since the first one so i had to get ps3. I also hate 360 which is why i wouldn't never ever like to play DMC4 and GTA4 on it. All this time DMC has been on PS2 with the exception of the PC version of DMC3, so now putting DMC4 on 360 when they have no clue what the story is about unless they had it on ps2 or read wiki is pointless. To the capcom it's isn't because they are getting money. Also i heard that GTA IV is going to be exactly the same as the 360 version with the exception of 360's exclusive content......wtf. Why not take advantage of the Blu-ray and add more shit in the PS3 version instead of using 360's disability to hold back the potential of the game.

[Marlie]

That's the one advantage that 360 has over PS3.....but addon content is coming to the PS3 soon anyway...they already have add on content for some games....but honestly I could care less about addon's....especially when I've got accounts in different countries I can download shit from plus free online gaming with no lag.

[seiya]

True about online .
Oh yeah anyone who got Dark resurrection, there is online coming soon if you didn't know already. That will be sick.

Meh, atleast the PS3 doesn't have tack-on motion sensoring like most Wii games.

Are you activating your Bluetooth at the same time. Do it like you register it with your phone. Turn your Bluetooth to search and turn your PS3 to search. They should find each other.
