I am considering buying the console, even if it is only for MGS4. That series blew me away. Hideo is the man when it comes to games that pack a punch.
 
I have a PS3

The main reason I bought it is because I really love the MGS series so I spent $700 on a PS3 for it... If MGS goes to 360 then i'll just break my PS3 :)
 
You guys are coplaining about price! Crazy!
Over here in Great Britain it is costing £450 just for the basic pack with no games. Thats about $900!!!!
Here we definately get ripped off for everything and it is an expensive country, however it's not going to stop me savingup 4 one!
 
I hate how the VAT is that high, I try to buy stuff from a UK store because they didnt have any here and it said "$50 then another $864165411 with VAT"
 
To me one big drawback for the PS3 right now is the impossibility to play Blu-Ray movies in 720p. They're downscaled to 480p or in best cases upscaled to 1080i if your set supports it. Of course if you have a full HD set that can do 1080p, it's not a problem.
 
Oh well, at least high prices are a sign of a good economy. GBP is the strongest currency, and then you have Euros n stuff.
 
The ps3 has some really good features and the graphics on some games are really good just that the price tag is reallllllllllly high especially in jamaica i mean its basically US1000 for the 20 gig version but right now the Wii seems to be better in terms of interaction
 
ye thats true

I own a ps3 and the thing that really gets me is the ps3 online interface with the games, its worthless. Granted im used to playing computer games online but even the 360's online interface is worlds above the ps3. I just hope they can get it together, but since its free i cant really complain. Another thing is the sixaxis without rumble.... i played the gran turismo hd demo and i instantly missed the rumble, i really think they messed up taking that out. Its like getting a massage without the happy ending at the local rub and tug ....good, but not great, haha.
 
ROFL b3lm0nt - nice closer there. I've gotta say I don't understand all the complaining about the PS3. I have loved mine since the day I got it and really love the bluray capability - it was a deciding factor for me. Of course I'm a hi-def zealot and have a full 1080p set so I haven't seen some of the problems others are reporting with scaling. I do miss the rumble and hate that Resistance refuses to release a patch for keyboard/mouse support. I was a hardcore FPS player back in the day, but I'm terrible playing them with a controller. I also have a Wii and will be getting a 360 elite when they release. I think all of them are great systems (yes, I have access but don't own a 360.) I know many of you are upset about the addition of the bluray player which forced a rise in the system price, but I'm sure once you have upgraded your televisions you will feel differently about that.

I'm pissed that Microsoft didn't include the HD-DVD drive in the 360 elite and I think it looks rather tacky having to purchase an external drive for it. There better be a black one released or I won't purchase it and will purchase another set-top instead.

I'm also pissed that the Wii doesn't support any real HD and isn't really any more powerful than the Gamecube felt at release. Sure it's loads of fun my daughter loves it, but when I have company over I'd better let them play the Wii before the PS3 otherwise they ask me what this crap is since it looks so much worse and is only amplified by larger television sets.
 
People..Time and patience is a virtue!!! You all should know it takes time for technology to keep advancing...Give it a Year and the PS3 will out perform the 360 and Wii...PERFORMANCE wise..marketing is not that important if you consider ourself a gamer because quailty should be more important not who sells the most and what others prefer. Graphically the PS3 has the edge...Nvidia, Toshiba and IBM helped develope the processors for it!
 
Games are not all about graphics. They have to be good games too. Graphics is just one deciding factor. Look at Grim Fandango or Monkey Island, they don't look very good, but they're one of the best games ever made. And what do you mean the PS3 will outperform the X360? It already has the edge in raw number-crunching power. The PS3 doesn't have too many games out and most people whom I know are buying it because they use it as a Blu-Ray player, since it's the cheapest one around. And who told you that the PS3 is "good-quality" and the others are not?

Actually, that IS how you find out if a console is worth buying or not. The PS3 seems to be losing in that aspect. I bought my PS2 because all the people I know who owned one loved it. The PS3 is a great console sure, but Sony's policy of "higher prices equals better quality" (not only in the PS3, but all their other products as well) has them in a mess now.
 
I definitely do not know anything about those two games that you mentioned. 21st century, Graphics are what most people buy gaming consoles for. We all know computers are the best for such, nothing tops that. XBOX 360, i never said anything that the PS3 is better then it, all I was simply saying is to give it time and all the XBOX enthusiaist will stop the non-sense about saying how the PS3 marketing is crap and how much it sucks. I plan to purchase the 360elite since its black instead of the ugly white. C&C 3 is also a contributing factor for such. Looking forward to the Tom Clancy games coming out! Reply to Supra, i own a PS3, ordered from ebgames online. Resistance is lovely, and a lot of what he said is true. Time is a virtue much like patience once again and technology will show anyone who is a microsoft XBOX enthusiaist that the PS3 is just as good as the 360 with a built-in HD *Blue ray* player. Also you do know that you pay for what you buy, so disregard the statement of sony's policy. Quality has a price! This is another format war, like Cd's and VHS, as one microsoft employee said @ the Micro center in Waltham, MA. In addition, first generation launch titles are not the core value in why one should purchase a particular system. Its the fact that games are created with out the intent of graphically amazing people, eventually exposing them and developing into a franchise. Therefore if you do not own a PS3 there is not much speculation, much like I cannot downplay th 360. If it was not like for games like C&C 3 or gears of war, what else can enthusiasts exploit besides sales# over the PS3?
 
Quality has a price!
Not always. A Sony DVD writer or a memory stick is more expensive than others from LG/SanDisk and performs just the same. Why the higher price then? Also, I asked if a higher price makes the PS3 better in any way. Does it?
Graphics are not what most people buy consoles for. The Wii doesn't have super HD graphics like the X360 and the PS3, yet it's outselling both of them. Explain that.
I'm not an Xbox fanboy or anything (I used to own the first XBox and also own a PS2) but the PS3 doesn't give me any reasons to buy it. As for games, why are there such few games being exclusively developed for the PS3? Most of the PS3 games are also coming on the Xbox, including the upcoming GTA and FF titles. Why buy the more expensive PS3 then rather than the cheaper (in respect to the PS3) X360 then?

Im not an enthusiast and i have no reason to say why buy one system over the other. Depends what you can afford and myself, will make a budget for 360. The Wii is the Next Gen console for poor people, not to insult anyone and parents see it as a better price to buy their kids because its one third the price of a PS3 and half the price of a 360. Exclusive games are hard to come by for the PS3 because SONY is too cheap to License exclusive games because they are too busy trying to make money from what they are loosing from producing cheap Blue Ray players. I could care less about exclusive games for now because i will own a 360. Wateva your budget can support but wat u want. Also in respect my friend, you have to pay the same price $600. PS3 built in HDD and Blue-ray. 360, Buy memory cards, built in 20gig HDD and buy HD-DVD player for $200. You tell me whats worth it? I know they are coming out with a larger HDD says Microsoft but whats the price and i bet you going to have to pay for ur HD-DVD player because they wont have it built in. 480 not so bad but the PS3 is definitely worth its price thats y all the Euros rack3d up on them. Even tho our cheap economy can afford them :)
 
The Wii is much more fun than the PS3 & Xbox, besides being cheaper than both, which is why it is more popular. And the PS3 for some reason is more expensive in Europe than in the US, so it is definitely not worth paying up for a PS3 that has lower specs (I believe I saw an article on the The Enquirer detailing that) and a higher price, seeing that the euro is higher in value than the dollar. And exclusive games are worth "bothering about" since titles like the Halo and Metal Gear Solid series are major crowd(not to mention cash)-pullers for both consoles.
 
The Wii is for people who get no exercise, not assuming your apart of that. I dont have time and energy to play motion sensitive games. Only thing i regret the PS3 is the Six axis which i have not seen purpose and the rumble. Exclusive games like Halo are for enthusiasits. Metal gear is also for them to because those who previously owned the system are going to wnt it because of that reason. Metal Gear im not a exclusive fan but when the price dies down i will own. Tom Clancy franchise is Mulit platform like Hitman, Madden and plenty of other games. Console "pullers" help exploit the systems but if you have the money and know what you technically believe is worth it then make that investment. Let Weed be legal in the US and our dollar would be worth more to. Much like Canada whose currency is worth more. Downscaling and compatability is an issue, but thats why I luv living in america. Overall PS3 is worth its dollar so is the 360, but in the long run you are going to invest more in the 360, thats all.
