You sound offended.

They came out shortly after and said it wasn't to cut price, it was because the ~65 games was an adequate number on the market and that they wanted people to buy them, instead of buying PS2 games. They needed to start recouping development and early adopter money in the form of publishing/licensing fees and it wasn't happening.

The best game I've played on my PS3 is God of War 2, followed closely by the recently released inFamous.

I am sure everyone will get a chance to play God of War 2... when it's released on the PSN for more than you can get the PS2 version at Gamestop.

I am not offended, you can debate the merits of the different consoles without taking one extreme or the other is all. If Microsoft is eating people's children they wouldn't have sold 30 million consoles. There were problems, they made it right and are past them for the most part, and I am saying that as someone who's had their console replaced 3 times, and own a Wii and PS3 as well.

I'm a total PS3 fanboy. I assumed you were an Xbox fanboy and I had upset you. I think the Sony has superior equipment and it's beyond me why anyone would buy a 360. JMO, and I admit it can be annoying at times.

I bought a 360 and after a month of it not impressing me and collecting dust, I sold it.

The only thing they have going for them is they have more games, which was a pretty huge deal a year and a half ago, but the PS3s library is more than adequate now.

How Xbox is still thriving with all of its broken consoles, really doesn't make sense. I guess a fanboy is a fanboy even if his console breaks 3 or 4 times.

Not to mention that the PS3 is a killer blu-ray player.

I own 2 PS3s and use one pretty much exclusively for watching Dvd's / Blu-Rays.

Don't get me wrong, to each their own. I just like my money so I'd never buy a console that has a 50-50 shot of taking a dump 6 months in.

Thats one of the main reasons the Wii has been so successful.

The original Playstation was $300....14 years ago.

Oh, I'd totally fall into the 360 fanboy bucket, I can understand why people like the PS3, and once you've been burnt by the 360 and have invested in a Playstation it's a complete setup to make sure a customer never buys a Microsoft product willingly again.

I see your position, I was just offsetting some of the venom

. I just try to approach things a little more objectively so I'm not dismissed because of the side I am on. inFamous (PS3 exclusive for those who don't know) is probably one of the best games I've played this year, but it bums me out that it's not multiplatform so that the developer can't fill up a much larger bag of money for their efforts. The same goes for Killzone 2... which just hit 600k units in the US this past month, a relative flop for the title despite being the fastest selling 1st party title in the console's history (1m worldwide in it's 2nd month... what happened to 'over 1 million preorders in Europe?).
