Vlax Posted November 9, 2006 Share Posted November 9, 2006 If you are going to get a PS3 be careful Sony is following their same routeine(sp?) dating back to the PS1. It started out with these great claims then slowly things started to get wittled down, until lunch time then what you get isn't what sony says it was. Case in point: # of PS3's for US launch til end of year like 1.5 mil to 2 mil this was at E3 this year (i think) NOW: 400,000 units for launch and don't know when the next shippment will come in But look at it this way at least we are getting more than Japan with only 100,000 units And there still isn't any game play videos that I'm aware of. When the 360 and Wii had gameplay footage it was released right away. Also be wary of the first generation of the PS3's cause they will have the most bugges and hardware problems. But hey this is my take. I plan on getting one about a year or two into the PS3's life. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

bigmahlman Posted November 9, 2006 Share Posted November 9, 2006 i think my 360 has plenty of potential, the graphics on side to side games like madden, gta4, ect.. will be no different. And games that matter like Halo 3, and whatevers gona be big for the ps3 will both be equaly amazing. So you proably need both? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jah-soul-jah Posted November 9, 2006 Share Posted November 9, 2006 i would choose the ps3 prcticularly because of mgs4 :-) as i still had my ps2 i loved mgs2 and 3. BUT it's tooooo expensive Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

entrailsgalore Posted November 16, 2006 Share Posted November 16, 2006 Both are great systems. You have 3 64 bit asymetrical CPU's, and then you have a brand new Cell Chip. We have been using linear processors such as the three IBMs inside of the xbox for years so we are familiar with the architecture and how they process data. They work in a linear equation, process A, to B to C. Only in the past 8 years or so have we got CPUs to gues sthe next step so now when a CPU is processing equation A it already has equation B figured out and is ready to process equation C. So thats how we have gotten CPUs to become more efficent and faster. Thats how the Xbox 360 architecture runs and we have been coding games for this platform for years. With the PS3, we have a brand new architecture created by sony ( and IBM haha) which works dfferent than a normal CPU since its a main computer surrounded by sub computers. I think the Cell chip takes computing to the next level so think the PS3 might have the hardware edge on microsoft. The problem? When companies liek Sega create games, they have to code the game according to the architecture of the hardware it will be run on. When you create a PC game youll use coding like C++ and when you code for a mac you using different code. So essentially you cant just buy a PC game and install it on a MAC unless you have 3rd party app which lets you boot windows or linux on your mac and run a game. It will be the same problem with PS3 and Xbox. You will code a game in the standard linear CPU architecture, then have to RE-code the same game under the new cell architecture. As easy as it might sound, its not an easy task and I dont think alot of game developers will be wanting to learn a new system let alone code two different games. The PS3 is probably the most " next gen" out of the bunch, but never under estimate Mr gates. The Xbox is liek an extention of your damn PC, you can cross files over and vice verse. But then again the PS3 will be able to play Blu Ray and only cost 400 for the base model. I think alot of people will buy a PS3 just for blu ray, since blu ray disc players cost like 800-1000 bucks right nowl. Bottom line? PC pwnz all consoles period GeForce 8800 GTX and DX 10 ftw!!

goatling Posted November 18, 2006 Share Posted November 18, 2006 They're both extremely capable. A coworker described the difference between the two as "The 360 is like having 3 Einsteins, while the PS3 is like having 1 Einstein and 7 Rainmans (like the Dustin Hoffman movie). If you can get the 7 Rainmans to work together, it can be amazing." You'll see great games on both platforms, it's really down to the people making the games, not the hardware.

I think they are bound too also... ya gotta wait awhile until they fix all their glitches with the fresh systems cause they always seem to have plenty of problems at first Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

DizzyGuy Posted November 20, 2006 Share Posted November 20, 2006 I know it wasn't specifically meantion in the title, but it's next gen... so yeah. I'm surprised that the Wii had such a good kick off. We got 51 in at our store and I figured we'd have them for atleast like two days... They apparently sold out really fast Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
[LB] Posted November 21, 2006 Share Posted November 21, 2006 WII BABY EDIT: you suck bomberto- how is it though im curious? did it live up to the hype or is it no better than 360? (which IMO is trash) The wii is the only truly next gen console Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Exactly, and like I said, even though teh hardware can spit it bomb ass frame rates, its up to the proggers to create games for the PS3. But moreso its like 3 einstines that we have been buddies with for 30 years and have hung out with had good times and bad times with but we are pals and are familiar with. And then we have an einstine and 7 rainmans and we just met rainman and we dont know what kind of guy rainman is. Is he gonna flake on us? Is he gonna fail or possibly fry easily on us? or will he be just as good of a friend as mr E was to us. Maybe even a better friend? But Einstine speaks english, Rainman speaks manderin so it will be tough comunicating between the two. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
pboyle Posted November 21, 2006 Share Posted November 21, 2006 I think Maddox (from the best page in the universe) was right when he said that Sony hates its consumers. -Installing rootkits -Crappy PS2's when they launched -Lawsuit against Lik Sang and now forcing people into using Blu-ray on the PS3 when all is said and done, PS3 is just a market scheme to keep up. They ripped off aspects of the wii controller, and they're using their system to force you to buy their movies (via blu-ray discs). Its a big Sony hole. I want a wii but between xbox360 and ps3 xbox360 hands down microsoft only screws with its computers. not its game systems. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DizzyGuy Posted November 21, 2006 Share Posted November 21, 2006 Yeah, I think that I'm gonna get a Wii when they get back in stock... but next system in the not too far off future besides that will be the 360 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ghostofdavid Posted November 21, 2006 Share Posted November 21, 2006 I have a Wii. It's the most fun I've had with a console since I was a little kid. Well worth the 250 bucks... and a game(s) to boot. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
