I wouldn't complain. I applaud them for looking out for their customers. At least they cared.

This about sums up the PS3 Launch:

Oh and the original image is from Dead Rising, which is a much better game than any current or near future offerings for the PS3.

That and Gears of war will surpass anything sony has planed until MGs4

The PS3 launch lineup is just ****ing dire.

I have the PS2 and had a PSone before that. Not necessarily a fanboy, but I have been known to defend the PS2 against Xbox fanboys. However, this time around, Sony has really screwed up. $600 for a system is beyond ridiculous. I will end up buying the Xbox 360 and be happy with it.

You'll also pay MORE in the long run by buying the 360. The 360 HD-DVD ADD-ON is $200. Add the $200 to the $400 base price, add the x-box live account and voila, you've just spent MORE on an inferior product.

Not sure if or when that would even happen. I don't even have an HD TV yet.

**Lzen** · 11-20-2006, 10:22 AM

Also, why do you say it's an inferior product? What makes the PS3 superior to the Xbox 360? I remember when several people were claiming the Xbox was superior to the PS2. My boys have an Xbox and I have a PS2. There is little difference, IMO. Except for the one major advantage is the Xbox comes with the hard drive. Of course, a lot of PS2 online games don't require a fee. I've heard that will be changing soon, though, with the PS3.

Bold predictions like this make me laugh...

Sony has already said they don't expect to ship more than 1 million units before the end of the year...

And I need an HD-DVD drive why? How many HD-DVD titles are there again?

This whole blu-ray mantra is a crock of shit...

It might be a crock of shit to you, but that doesn't make it fact. More people WATCH MOVIES than play games in general. I wouldn't underestimate the importance of it.

You should also consider the storage data difference between the two mediums. Blu-ray has alot more storage capacity than HD-DVD, that in itself is value added to gamers(more expansive games in years to come). It's also INCLUDED with the Sony console, the same can't be said for Microsoft's 360.

How is more storage capacity a crock of shit when it comes to gaming? Answer: it isn't a crock, in fact, it's very valid point. Storage capacity is very important-I'm surprised to see anyone shrug it off as if it's unimportant.

You're banking on a "what-if". So be it.

By the time either HD-DVD or Blu-Ray gain market relevance, somebody will be releasing something better.

I'm enjoying my 360 RIGHT NOW.

I don't buy that one bit. DVD's didn't take off until the PS2 launched, then voila a new medium, that revolutionized the way the masses watch movies. Blu-Ray and HD-DVD, BOTH are better standards than the typical DVD, it just makes sense that's the next, natural progression for storage medium.

They may come out with a newer medium, but we all know the masses are slow to adopt, that's why Sony brings the new technology to the masses. It's a beneficial procedure that gives them the upper-hand. Had Microsoft INCLUDED the HD-DVD in their console, I would have stated the race would be much closer, but as it is now, all owners of the PS3 will have the new technology-the same can't be said for the 360 owners.

DVD didn't take off until the PS2? I don't even know where to go with that.

And yes, PS3 owners will have the new technology, all 1.5 million of them...
