Ps3

[Yeef]

http://www.gamesarefun.com/news.php?newsid=4955

Sounds pretty good.

A lot of people are bitching about the controller, but there's a 3rd party PS1 controller that my friend and my brother had with a similar design (though I can't remember the name) and it was extremely comfortable. Besides that, as far as we know the changes to the controller are just asthetic so you could easily just buy the regular dual shock 2's.

-PS3 will support 7 Bluetooth controllers out of the box. That line is a little odd. I assume it means that there will be 7 different bluetooth controller types it'll support; but it might also mean it supports 7 player wireless multiplayer out of the box, which would be odd. 4-way split screens are small enough.

Hopefully PS3 will make more use of the USB ports than PS2 did.

[Jeanox]

Hooray. :D I have never touched a ps in my life. :|

[TheSorrow]

OMFG!. The PS3 looks very nice........ And alot of features!!...I love sony, ohhh (daydreaming about kissing PS3). I wanna PS3...... T^T.....

[Shou]

http://ps3.ign.com/articles/614/614619p1.html

it looks awesome, except the controller which looks very conceptual and will most likely be changed along with some other stuff on the console. Maybe if they shortenned the handles and made the shoulder buttons less weird I could see them using it. And I hope they change the font back to the normal playstation font, the current font is almost like they are pasting the actual spiderman logo right on the machine.

But I thought the bluray discs were going to come in cartridges?

looks like it will even serve as a router too

[Bloodstar]

So how does it compare to the Xbox 360? I'm not very techno-literate.

[Agent Cryrid]

4-way split screens are small enough.
Not every multiplayer game splits the screen (though seven is still an odd number if this were the case. Normally they would try to keep it balanced so in the case of teams it would be fair)



*Points at the DMC4 screen at the IGN link and starts shaking with joy*

[oringe]

That line is a little odd. I assume it means that there will be 7 different bluetooth controller types it'll support; but it might also mean it supports 7 player wireless multiplayer out of the box, which would be odd. 4-way split screens are small enough.

well it has 2 HD outputs, so you could have 7 player split on 2 screens, with one machine, out of the box. thats pretty slick

[Aires]

???

I loved the ps controller, what is that thing?

[Vava2109]

its a boomarang! when you get mad at your new PS3 you can destroy it with the new Wireless boomarang controller! then you havea controller with no system! hooray! Go buy a candy bar!

[Sev]

I actually like that controller for.............some...............re.......ason.

[Shou]

this is rendered in real time on the ps3 and is from tekken6 http://www.tekkenzaibatsu.com/news/viewer.php?file=2005-05-16/tekkenps3_02.jpg

they also showed a realtime spiderman demo and they used the exact same model of spider man that they used in the movie

so ya, when sony said the ps3 is going to be unlike any console jump before, they seem to be right

[Kwiix]

Looks sexy. I think it looks nicer than the new xbox. I can't wait to see what Nintendo's will look like. They love to make theirs look like toys.

I also like the look of the controller. I think it'll fit in your hands nicely. Vava has it all wrong. If you get mad at the tv and you throw the controller at it, it'll just come back at you before doing any damage. That's a neat feature. AND you could have up to 7 of them in the air at once. Combine that with the eye toy and dance pad and the possibilities are endless.

Another nice feature is being able to use your PSP as a controller. That leaves just the xbox without a handheld that connects to its console.

[Hiltz]

My predictions.

Microsoft

Raw power isn't everything. Microsoft looks like it will try to rely on it's Xbox live once again to give it some advantage over the other two video game consoles because as of know it isn't even backward compatible which seems to be a major drawback for Xbox fans.

Yes, the Xbox 360 has more features than you can shake a stick out but most consumers already own a computer, an mp3 player, and a dvd. Microsoft, if you want to win the next- gen console wars focus on what matters most... VIDEO GAMES!

Sony

The PS3 will be one hell of a competitor. Sony's systems have always seemed to appeal to the mainstream consumer. It's backward compatible with ps2 and ps1 games which is great news to PlayStation fans. I have a feeling that PS3 is going to become the biggest concern of Microsoft and especially Nintendo.

Nintendo

Listen here old friend, if you want to improve your reputation and gain more respect to gamers including the nintendo fans you need to learn from your mistakes. Learn from the Gamecube and listen to what the Nintendo fans have to say and then apply that to improving your next-gen console.

In addition, you must have a strong line up of games and Continue to do that. Sony and Microsoft will not slack off and wait months and months for a hot game to come out while leaving fans hanging in the meantime. You simply cannot make up for lost time.

Innovation is a wonderful thing but you must learn that innovation is NOTHING if it doesn't have the games to back it up. However, your off to a good start when you announced that Revolution will be backward compatible with gamecube games and the controls will be wireless.

[Snowfox]

Haha, that is the dumbest, most stupid looking controller I have -ever- seen. I nearly crapped my pants laughing. Even if the PS3 turns out to be the most amazing thing ever- I would never degrade myself by trying to hold that double-ended dildo.

The console, doesn't really look much better.

[sinfire]

I'm sure you and your gf can have some fun times with the controller, if not the console.

[Snowfox]

Except you didn't read that I would never touch that, ****ing idiot.

[Hiltz]

The PS3 console's design looks attractive to me.

Two words come to mind when I look at the controller:sleek & uncomfortable.

[sinfire]

Except you didn't read that I would never touch that, ****ing idiot.
I assumed you'd use a magnum, ****ing idiot.

[FigureFour]

Thanks to this thread, I now hate videogames.

[Snowfox]

Thanks to this thread, I now hate videogames.

Good. Do something with your life now. Invent play-do underpants.

[Shou]

I doubt the controller will stay that way. Its too conceptual, sacrificing usability for looks. Everything goes through a crazy concept and is then tweaked to become more usable in the real world and more cost effective. Look at the psp prototype, it was weird as hell, in the end we got a much more usable thing

[Hiltz]

Here's one question I'm still wondering.

What will the graphics be?


The current graphics are what like 128-bit?

[oringe]

a hojillion bits

[Shou]

the bit stuff was just marketting crap, it doesnt matter how many bits it is anymore

[PhisH]

Thank god they're making more than one colour, that plastic chrome looks awful.
That's my only nitpick, other than the controller. They should stick with the one they have at the moment in my humble opinion, it's a classic, and probably my favourite controller design ever. Ohh well maybe that controller is more ergonomic or something...

[dfacto]

That kind of coating also degrades with usage and gets eaten away, leaving you with a fugly dirty looking controller with plain plastic patches around the hand grips. Plain uncoated plastic is best.

[The Bran Eating Zombie]

The ps3 looks pretty incredible. I'm definetly going to start saving up for that. 9 months is a really long wait though. Oh well, it'll just mean I can buy one the day it comes out. The controller does look weird, but I'll wait to hold one before I make any judgements. Worst case scenario I can probably get an adapter to use my ps2 controllerr on it. It seems to have the same buttons, so that shouldn't be a problem.

But does anyone else think that the 360 is ****ed? The ps3 seems to do everything the 360 does, but better. With way more developer support. I seriously can not think of any reason why someone would get a 360 over the ps3.

[Shou]

I think spring 2006 is for the japanese release, its probably guranteed that it will be released around sept-nov in america along with the revolution. So theres still more than a year left. Sony isnt capable of a worldwide release like other companies, they have assed up production every single time they release game hardware since they can never meet demand. Either they always underestimate how many they will sell, or they just need to buy more factories

[Izzy/K]

alright....... there are 3 new systems comin out..right?so... I can only get 2 of them...(i dont have enough time to save up for all 3)

Since i've never owned an Xbox in my life, I was thinkin about buyin it, but........ I dont know if Xbox has any good games. I have only seen Sports games so far, and im not a fan of them. The only games that attract me is DOA and Halo 1&2.

But.... I have always had nintendo all my life, but Gamecube let me down, and I promised myself that I will move on to Sony and Microsoft, but now they're sayin that Revolution will be very very good, and have online capabilities PLUS it looks very very cool....

I have only owned 1 Sony product which was the PS2. Its great cuz it has a W I D E variety of games, and according to magazines and other info sources, the PS3 will be about 30 times stronger than the PS2, online capabilities, wireless controllers, and backwards capabilities.

I want the Xbox but scared about game variety and choices


I want the Revolution, but I promised myself not to get anymore Nintendo stuff because the Gamecube sucked


I want The PS3 because Sony has never let me down.
So my question is, which 2 systems should I go for? Which systems would YOU go for?

[Bloodstar]

I'm not deciding until they all come out and I see what they have to offer, but I'll probably be getting PS3.

[IARKK]

Microsoft

Raw power isn't everything. Microsoft looks like it will try to rely on it's Xbox live once again to give it some advantage over the other two video game consoles because as of know it isn't even backward compatible which seems to be a major drawback for Xbox fans.








Actually, it was just confirmed that 360 WILL be backwards compatible!



RPGfan.com

[Hiltz]

Yeah, your right.

Here's the lowdown of some if not all of the Xbox 360 games in development.

http://xbox360.ign.com/e3/2005/games/

Here's the list for PlayStation 3.

http://ps3.ign.com/e3/2005/games/

[meerkat]

I heard there were going to be 2 Xbox versions coming, which have price differences. The first one will be the normal 360 which DOESNT support old games, and there will be another which DOES support old and has a few more features (and is more pricey)

Just something I heard, kind of what the gamecube did, they had a few models that could play DVDS

[The Bran Eating Zombie]

I would get the Revolution first if I were you, just because while you're waiting for the good games to start coming out you've got all the nes, snes and n64 titles to keep you busy. Also it sounds like Nintendo's learning from their mistakes with the gamecube, and should have some amazing launch titles.

Then get the ps3 after. Because everyone's going to need both.

I would never get the xbox 360 though, and have no idea why anyone would waste their money on it.

Also, apparently the revolution is still making the dvd playing a seperate add-on.

[FigureFour]

How the hell did the Gamecube let you down?

[Vava2109]

How the hell did the Gamecube let you down?

Yeah, never let me down.

[Wyrmslayer]

Nintendos got some good ideas like downloading thier old games, one can only hope that they have more then just the Nintendo SNES games for download though, some of those Squaresoft and Capcom games were my favorites. Great idea, a company with as much history as Nintendo will probably do fairly well with this.

PS3 has my vote though, PS2 has the most games out of every console, and the change to get good games out of a lot of games is usually better.

Nintendo Revolution and PS3 have my votes, now that I think about it, the XBox has let me down more then my gamecube... Sure the Gamecube has a lot less games, but a lot of the games are REALLY good, this new Zelda is just adding even more fuel to the fire of great games on GC.

Of course, wouldve been Nice for another Mario game on GC... 1 is never enough anymore Nintendo! >.<

[FigureFour]

Don't forget Killer 7. That game is looking cooler and cooler every time I see it.

It looks to me like Sony will just keep on taking the logical next step in furthering game development, while Nintendo will keep taking the illogical next step.

Microsoft looks like it will keep spending a lot of money without really understanding gaming or gamers.

Watching Microsoft's big press show now, they've spent way too long showing off DoA4, and it looks like shit. The animation is wooden and terrible.

Quoted for Truth!

DOA4? Your kidding me, fighting games with big breasted women...

If you wanna wank it, do it to something real.

[Shou]

I thought nintendo made a stupid comment by acting like they have the advantage since their console is only 2.5 times more powerful than a gamecube while the ps3 is 30 times more powerful than the ps2. They said its not about how powerful the system is, but how you use it. Thats true and all but apparently nintendo thinks they are the only developer capable of using a systems potential to make a good game. An arrogant attitude like that is going to screw them over (and has already screwed them over with the 64). So while nintendo makes good games on the revolution, major developers on ps3 are also going to be making good games, except theyll be making good games capable of so much more.

[koopdi]

Correct me if I'm wrong but the ps2 was a slower machine the the gc making that a bit of a misleading comparison. One thing that worries me about the revolution is that if it is so much slower than the other two, it'll miss out on alot of games that would otherwise be released for all three. Those games will instead be released exclusively on 360 and ps3.

[Xion Valkyrie]

Well, I'll buy the Revolution definately, and then I'll wait to see which one comes out on top in the PS3 vs Xbox360 category (definately after price drops too), so it doesn't really make a difference to me.

[Hiltz]

Xbox 360 and PS3 have already given us a list of their games but Revolution has not. So we'll just have to wait and see.

That's a good point koopdi. I think something similar has already occured between the PlayStation 2 and the GameCube. Despite the GameCube having superior performance it still lacked monthly game titles when compared to PlayStation 2 and not even the Xbox could beat the PlayStation 2 despite Xbox having a clearly more superior performance.

It could spell trouble if Nintendo has already made the mistake of underestimating powerful graphics and performance over sheer "innovation". In this case, if the Revolution turns out to be the least powerful system along with Nintendo's bad reputation of releasing few games on a monthly basis then PS3 and even Xbox 360 could easily dominate over Nintendo's Revolution.

PS3 seems to be the system to watch out for. Not even the Xbox's superior performance and game titles could beat PS2 which was clearly had the slowest performance out of the three systems. Microsoft is probably well aware of this and they are worried because even with their Xbox 360 the PS3 will be more powerful than the PS2. Although, we still don't know what these next-gen systems are fully capable of.

[rag rappi]

did anyone catch the "live at e3 on g4"? It was friggin sweet.

It comes on again tonight at 12:00am

[koopdi]

I just checked out the wikipedia pages for all three, very helpful and concise.

PS3 (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Ps3)
360 (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Xbox_360)
revolution (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Project_Revolution)

[The Bran Eating Zombie]

We really don't know shit yet about what the revolution is capible of, except for the comment that when you turn it on, you're going to say "wow"

And I think the how you use it comments were more references to the fact that there was a lot of secrets about the system we still don't know, so we have no idea how they used it. Not so much saying Sony doesn't know how to use their hardware. I mean we still have no clue what the revolutionary aspect is yet.

[Wyrmslayer]

Just looking at it is making me wonder how powerful it is.

All these new systems are looking good, astecticly (God I butchered that word), they all look so sleek and shiney... Except the XBox 360, it looks like a DVD player.

[Alucard1515]

I would get the Revolution first if I were you, just because while you're waiting for the good games to start coming out you've got all the nes, snes and n64 titles to keep you busy. Also it sounds like Nintendo's learning from their mistakes with the gamecube, and should have some amazing launch titles.

Then get the ps3 after. Because everyone's going to need both.

I would never get the xbox 360 though, and have no idea why anyone would waste their money on it.

How many times are you going to say this?

If you want to follow that logic, then no one should have bought a PS2, because it was the least powerful system as far as graphics and processing power this generation, and the XBox was the most powerful. It might not be in the next gen, but that's no reason to count it out. It is way too early to be making that type of judgement. Hell, that game Gears of War looks like enough to get me very interested in the 360. I haven't really seen anything for PS3 and Revolution besides specs, but of course, that's because they're further away.

[Snowfox]

I'm going to turn my PS3 into a mini-fridge when it breaks after two weeks.

[Eolatria]

I vote PS3, 'cause they've got UE3. Check out the real-time videos at IGN, or go there from PlanetUnreal. AWESOME.

[Krieock]

PS3 all the way! 2TFLOPS!!! 2!!! That's INSANE! and the Xbox360 is only 1 *snicker* The PS3 is going to be more powerful than the new Xbox (thank God) I'm tired of Xbox fanboys vaunting their Xbox's 733MHz processor over PS2's 333!!! Now the tables have turned! But In the end: All that matters is the game lineups and the fun aspect - not the graphics. I'm waiting with bated breath to see more about PS3's lineup and Xbox's (Revolution - COME ON!!! I wanna see some games!!!!)
Cheers to PS3, Xbox360, and Revolution!! I love all the new consoles - but Playstations will always be my fav ^^
Triple Cheers for Next Generation Gaming! Love it!!! YAY

[FigureFour]

How many times are you going to say this?

If you want to follow that logic, then no one should have bought a PS2, because it was the least powerful system as far as graphics and processing power this generation, and the XBox was the most powerful.
Al, I hate to say that you are way off base, but I don't think he mentioned graphics . . .

Hell, that game Gears of War looks like enough to get me very interested in the 360. I haven't really seen anything for PS3 and Revolution besides specs, but of course, that's because they're further away.
You should watch all the PS3 demo videos then, they blew away the videos for the 360. Microsoft had a handfull of videos to show, the last few looked like what the PS3 was showing over and over through the entire press confrence. Seriously, I watched through the press confrences for all three companies and Sony EASILY put on the best show. The only reason I couldn't say Nintendo got blown away was because Nintendo was obviously keeping quiet about the Revolution, and because that Zelda trailer is still the most exciting thing I've seen from E3.

[Vava2109]

The PS3 looks like an Atari...

[Shou]

PS3 all the way! 2TFLOPS!!! 2!!! That's INSANE!
that reminds me of when people thought 512k of memory was insane. I bet in 8 years we are going to be saying "what just 2 teraflops? you couldnt even run IE 10 on that thing"

[Yeef]

I just watched the MGS4 Teaser; I think it was easily the best video I've seen so far of the E3 stuff. Great way to release details rather than just some boring presentation.

http://media.ps3.ign.com/media/714/714044/vids_1.html

[Krieock]

that reminds me of when people thought 512k of memory was insane. I bet in 8 years we are going to be saying "what just 2 teraflops? you couldnt even run IE 10 on that thing"
If you think like that; then why not say every piece of technology is insignificant because is a few years it will be old.
That's life. We have to enjoy what we have now.

[Shou]

uh I never said it was a bad thing, I said it just reminded me of when a few K of memory was considered huge and how fast technology progresses

[Cian]

Its probably been asked but anyway. Will it have a hard-drive.

[Yeef]

It's gonna have a hard drive, but not out of the box. You'll have to buy it like with the PS2 one.

[Cian]

It's gonna have a hard drive, but not out of the box. You'll have to buy it like with the PS2 one.
Nuts. But Ill get over it. Something else thats probably been asked. When the hell is out, next year I presume.

[Shou]

spring 2006 for japan, fall 2006 for america

[Cian]

spring 2006 for japan, fall 2006 for america
And Europe......dont say it.......

[Shou]

I dont know, how long does it take for consoles to be released there after america? its not going to be any different than its been for the last 15 years

[Aires]

watched the e3 presentation of the ps3

Im trying to fight the urge to call myself a sony fanboy after it

i love the 3d renders of the cities, I wonder if this is actually for reall though

[Alucard1515]

You should watch all the PS3 demo videos then, they blew away the videos for the 360. Microsoft had a handfull of videos to show, the last few looked like what the PS3 was showing over and over through the entire press confrence.
Okay, but I posted this earlier this morning, before E3. At the time, I hadn't really seen anything from E3 for the PS3. Well, I still haven't, because I have to wait to see everything on G4. I'd be here all day trying to get it on my modem.

Al, I hate to say that you are way off base, but I don't think he mentioned graphics . . .
Okay? If he's not talking about graphics, then he's talking about games, and it's still really too early to judge it on that (which I did mention in my post you quoted). I'm not saying it won't be better, but right now, the only thing anyone knows about anything are trailers, and early info.

[The Bran Eating Zombie]

That mgs4 trailer was ****ing awesome! And Snake as the main charecter again! :D

Also I was mainly refering to the fact that the 360 seemed to bring nothing new, and has lost every advantage it had. It seems like it'll be a waste of money.

[Gaara]

seeing FFVII like that was awesome. I think the console is kinda ugly looking haha, domeish top and all.

[Shou]

speaking of the mgs4 trailer, I wonder if "no place to hide" and then the wall falling down is a hint that the environments will be destructable in mgs4? The ps3 would beable to handle something like that since it has such a big processor, stuff like that has been tried before but it was always lame since the physics had to be dumbed down so much that they turned it into a gimmick rather than something useful.

[Vava2109]

Wasnt that In THe incredible Hulk?...I think it was, never played it to much....

[Shou]

it was in a lot of games but it was never done well because it requires too much processing power to do accurate physics of all the game materials

[DN]

Yeah, well clearly ps3 wins since it has eyedentify. I mean, what better way to play a game then using a webcam to get it on with hot spy chicks?

http://media.ps3.ign.com/media/748/748484/vids_1.html

[Jonat]

-PSPs can be used as controllers

Does that mean they fixed the button problem they had with the PSP, or is no one going to use them as controllers because they can't use the square button (I think it was the square button, correct me if I'm wrong.)

also, did anyone watch that 'What if Final Fantasy VII was on PS3' video... oh, its really too bad it was just a technical demonstration, I'd kill for a FF7 remake that looked like that.

[The Bran Eating Zombie]

Fully destructable enviroments would be awesome. All games should have those.

[Vava2109]

Thats agreed. what about Mario games? youd get arrested for destroying PEach's castle...then youd just bust ou t and do some more damage :D

[Hiltz]

playing a game when using a webcam to get it on with hot naked spy chicks. :D

[Shou]

Does that mean they fixed the button probably they had with the PSP
that was fixed before the psp was even released in america. Only the first batch of japanese psp's had that problem

Yeah, well clearly ps3 wins since it has eyedentify. I mean, what better way to play a game then using a webcam to get it on with hot spy chicks?

http://media.ps3.ign.com/media/748/748484/vids_1.html
:laugh: thats going to be so freakin popular in japan. I wish I downloaded that earlier. Who says sony isnt innovative? thats like the most innovative thing Ive ever seen. It even owns the Gazelle Freestyle™ in innovation

[Wyrmslayer]

The Killzone 2 Trailer.

It blew me away, I was amazed that it could go so far, and those were the INGAME graphics. The Flame Thrower, the guy falling and trying to pull himself up, then the other guy getting knocked off and smacking the other guy off.

Im proud to live in this generation for once.

I cant wait for the PS3 to come out, the Xbox 360 is the underdog this time it seems, while the Revolution is doing much better then the GC.

[Faliat]

The PS3 looks like s**t. It's hurting my head to even LOOK at it.
11 inches of black magic all the way baby!
JK.
Not.
Not.
Not.
Not.

[Phearun]

I'm buying it. No mater what the cost.

[Hiltz]

Last I heard the PS3 may be the may be the most expensive of the three consoles but it is speculation right now.

[The Bran Eating Zombie]

I've been hearing around $400 for the ps3.

[FigureFour]

I've been hearing around $400 for the ps3.
I don't care what it costs, because I'm just going to take yours the next time you get drunk and pass out.

[Snowfox]

As well as his aural virginity.

[FigureFour]

Are you implying that he's never sucked anyone off before?

[Snowfox]

Are you implying that he's never sucked anyone off before?

Maybe. But I imagine that's hard to do with your ear.

[koopdi]

Now that would be skills!

[FigureFour]

Whoops. My mistake.

Just for the record though, I have NEVER seen an ear large enough to fit my dick in it.

[koopdi]

Now the real question is: Will the PS3 be able to run linux? I immagine that sony plans to lose loads of money selling this highend hardware cheaply in competition with microsoft and nintendo. This means that an equivelently powered PC (:p) could cost much more (5x500 = $2,500 maybe?). If sony dosen't cripple their console's ability to run third party software, this could be a huge deal. Not only would it be the best (or one of) PC on the market, the usual hassles associated with setting up something like linux could vanish as a distro would be constructed for the target console's specific hardware and would come with preconfigured drivers for most everything. Forget the revolution's backward compatability, simply emulate NES -> N64 systems on your PS3. Perhaps one of the XBOX emulators currently in devel will be completed and ported to it.

Seriously though, I thought it wasn't the intention of these companies to replace PC's. Where did this talk of operating systems come from?

[Shou]

haha thats actually the first time Ive laughed at penny arcade

[koopdi]

Seriously though, I thought it wasn't the intention of these companies to replace PC's. Where did this talk of operating systems come from?

No one ever said anything about intentions. This talk of operating systems comes from it being a good idea to use cheap powerful hardware to run an all purpose computer.

I don't know much about this stuff but I see huge potential here.

[Hiltz]

"It's my turn to play with the sex box and her name is SONYA".

[The Bran Eating Zombie]

http://www.gameshout.com/news/052005/article842.htm

Worldwide release at $370 would be so ****ing amazing I would kill at least 26 children to bring it about.

[Bloodstar]

Hmm. Well, that is interesting but I'd prefer to have my computer and game system seperate. I just can't see a console and a tv on my desk.

Edit: $370? Not bad.

[Yeef]

However, new information appears that Sony would launch the Sony PS3 at the same price point it launched the Sony PS2. This would mean a price around $370.I'm pretty sure that's 70 bucks higher than the PS2 launched at; unless it's Canadian dollars.

[Shou]

that would kick ass if it was a worldwide release, but I dont see how sony can do it since they couldnt even make enough psp's for europe

[koopdi]

Does anyone know roughly what the production/distrobution cost will be? It sounds like sony is planning to sell them for less than half the price it took to get them out.

I'm estimating that they retail in the us at around $430 and $370 in japan.

[Wyrmslayer]

I'm pretty sure that's 70 bucks higher than the PS2 launched at; unless it's Canadian dollars.

Well, from the specs, I was thinking somewhere in the ballpark of 500ish dollars.

So yes I am pleased.

How many times are you going to say this?

If you want to follow that logic, then no one should have bought a PS2, because it was the least powerful system as far as graphics and processing power this generation, and the XBox was the most powerful. It might not be in the next gen, but that's no reason to count it out. It is way too early to be making that type of judgement. Hell, that game Gears of War looks like enough to get me very interested in the 360. I haven't really seen anything for PS3 and Revolution besides specs, but of course, that's because they're further away.

I can't wait for both!! I own both currently

wahhh $370 us dollars? blah probably cost ~ $800+ or 900+ hereeeeee!! wahhhh ><

Are the PS3 and Xbox 360 said to only be playable on HD tv?

[FigureFour]

I'm pretty sure they both specified that they will work on non HD TVs.

[Hiltz]

Hope so.

yes of course, hd tvs only take up like 5% of the market. And hd signals can be done on non hd tvs so it doesnt matter anyways.
