Top Ten Reasons To Wait For PS3


Recommended Posts

This forum is obviously pro-xbox. Has been this way for years. Just in denial if you ask me. Opinions will always be opinions, but the fact remains the sony holds the console title, and the percentages that state that they will ever be knocked off are slim to none.

PS3 will be something great to remember @ launch, just as the PSone & PS2 were.

VERY WELL SAID !!!!! :laugh:

pft, I never really planned on buying the ps2. One, I hear it's going to be way expensive, and two I hear they are doing something to the games so they're ONLY playable on ONE playstation. I don't quite understand it, because than how would you rent video games, but I have no idea, just something I heard.

It will be an amazing system I'm sure, but I'm just going to get the REVO. In my opinion, the fact that the REVO can play all Nintendo games, is amazing.

Hey man, I never said Sony did say it, I just said I had heard that. If it isn't true, than it isn't true, that's all you had to say. I never declared that Sony said that, and that it was 100% true, just that I had heard it.

you know nintendo owned it too and they got knocked off... so really your logic is kinda flawed...

#10 - I consider Halo 3 to be a killer app. Perfect Dark Zero comes real close. None of those other PS3 games entice me. See, my preferences are different than yours.

#9 - Does anyone here actually have dual 1080p TVs in here? Even then, pretty much no current 1080p TVs support 1920x1080 progressive sources through their inputs(component, hdmi).

#8 - Er, the 360 has USB as well. They can always make extra add ones whenever necessary. And I don't even have a PSP so that completely rules that out.

#7 - What? Pre-order? How is this a reason..?

#6 - Hm yeah that's what Xbox Live is for. Even then the 360 can support 7 players as well, just not all wireless. (4 wireless, 3 wired) Not much of a big reason.

#5 - *shrugs* Ive had no interest in the eye toy before, and I doubt I will in the future. Some may be interested, but Im not.

#4 - I still have my original Xbox so im set. Ive never owned a PS in my life so it doesnt matter to me. Even then, the 360 list of backward compatible games will constantly be updated to include more games via Live.

#3 - *shrug again* Ive never gotten into Japanese games. Just not my type. Here again, my personal prefs. against yours.

#2 - See above. Ive never gotten into the MGS series so its not really a killer app for me.

#1 - Ill wait and see how the HD-DVD and the Bluray war turns out.

I hope everyone sees the main point to my post. My needs are different than yours. My opinions are different than yours. My tastes and preferences are different than yours. If the PS3 fits your bill, by all means buy it and enjoy it. But if it doesnt, get the other systems. Why waste time pushing others to see that Item A > Item B?

Xbox360 got 720p upscaled to 1080*, nothing else. It can't run 1080* nativly.

And it doesnt got any killer app.

What makes you think PS3 is going to do 1080p natively ? :huh: XBOX360 minimum requirements are 720p. developers can make games at 1080i if desired.

Killer app ? hmmm sure sure :rolleyes:

I also doubt 1080p dual screen support on PS3. Thats a massive rendering job even for Magical cell processor.

And how the hell having 7 controllers is advantage ? 7 part split screen ? :pinch: was this guy on crack or something ?

And IIRC this was posted sometime back here...so!

Denial? lol, the ones in denial are the PS/Rev fanboys who are *trying* to justify themselves that 360 isnt worth it. This article is one good example of it. I suppose they can print out it and stick it on their walls. :laugh:

This article is very reminiscent of the Fox News (joke of an) article on the same lines. :D

Magic crystal balls are awesome! I didnt know they existed.

And the number 1 reason NOT to go with a PS3?

Sony's Rootkit.

Jumbo QF:cool:ol: (Y)(Y)

I'm waiting for all 3. I'm most likely getting ps3. I think all systems are going to be great. I might change my mind. I think PS3 online will be good enough for me, Xbox Live is cool because its a unifided service over seperate games. But I just don't play enough games to make it worth the purchase. What the developers provide for online is good enough for me.

Reasons why not to buy a PS3....

1. it's going to cost the price of your first born child due to the blu-ray drive.

2. it's made by sony.

3. the controller is the ugliest thing ever created

...etc.

yeah, no thanks. (and no, i don't have or plan on getting a x360 neither) :whistle:

The whole thing about the PS3 supporting Dual 1080P is bull****. Rendering 1080P is hard enought to do all by itself but doing it twice, there is no way. Im sure that the PS3 can output in dual 1080P but and what kind of performance loss. Plus who the hell has 2 1080P tvs sitting right next to each other.

Edited by Chad

people keep saying "who the hell has a 1080p tv"...that's one reason why ps3 is next-gen, because it will support "next-gen" tvs.

just wait a couple of years, then there'll be 1080p (cos it's a hell of a lot better than 1080i). the ps3 will already support it so that's a great advantage.

and 305, of course this forum is pro-xbox, because this site is everything microsoft (save for the few MAC and linux posts...a very small proportion).

i was going to wait, but the list is pretty good. most of it anyway. the japanese games thing is crap imo, cos i just dont play jap games. but i agree that blu-ray is the no.1 reason.

Denial? lol, the ones in denial are the PS/Rev fanboys who are *trying* to justify themselves that 360 isnt worth it. This article is one good example of it. I suppose they can print out it and stick it on their walls. :laugh:

Or you know it may be written to give people information that there are alternatives out there and people have a choice and that maybe they should hold off and wait for both systems to come out.

You do realize that are other consoles besides MS's?

Reason #1: The Blu-ray Player

Thats probly the only thing the PS3 has over the Xbox 360 but concidering Quake 4 installed on my pc is only 2.46 GB i think Dual Layer DVD's will be fine.. and if it ever did become a problem developers could always make it so you can swap disc like on resident evil for the gamecube..

It sounds like that article is wrote by a desprate fanboy to me :huh: Both consoles are of similar spesfication, xbox 360 is out now (or soon depending where you live), europe probly wornt see the ps3 untill christmas 2006...

I would get a 360 now then if you want a ps3 save up again or sell or 360 if u dont like it.

    • SKG Hand Massager with Heat OS500 hands on by Steven Parker I was offered the chance to test out the SKG Hand Massager with Heat OS500, and full disclosure, they let me keep it regardless of my findings. Anyway, I jumped at the chance due to my long hours sitting at my desk, mousing around. Apologies for the knife cut across the top of the box; that was my doing, being a bit too heavy-handed with opening up the outer packaging. First up, what's in the box: SKG Hand Massager with Heat OS500 1x Type-C charging cable User Manual 1-Year Warranty (card) In short, everything you need to get started. According to the official Amazon listing, here are the key features: Full-Hand Air Compression: OS500 wraps your fingers, palm, and wrist with multi-chamber air compression for a complete hand relaxation experience. The extended massage chamber helps cover more of the hand and wrist area than standard palm-only hand massagers Palm Kneading with 6 Modes & 6 Intensities: Built-in palm kneading rollers add a hands-on massage feel, while 6 preset modes and 6 pressure levels let you choose the comfort level that fits your day—from gentle relaxation to a firmer full-hand massage 3 Heat Levels with Cooling Fan: Choose from 104°F, 113°F or 122°F warmth to suit different seasons and comfort preferences. The built-in cooling fan helps reduce stuffiness during heated sessions, keeping your hand feeling fresh and comfortable Easy Visual Display & Smart Timer: The digital image display clearly shows massage area, mode, intensity, heat level, and remaining time at a glance. Select 10, 15, or 20-minute sessions for quick office breaks, evening relaxation, or everyday hand care Rechargeable, Cordless & Comfortable: A 3000mAh battery supports over 90 minutes of full-function use on a full charge, with convenient USB-C charging. The soft inner lining, smooth ABS/PU finish, and premium black-gold design make OS500 ideal for home, office, or gifting With all that out of the way, here are my own findings. I gave it a try on both left and right hands, and as you can maybe see from the above YouTube Short, (sorry for the shaky video), my whole hand fits in, but my wrist barely enters the Hand Massager. I was able to push through a bit more with my fingertips extending out the other end to get a bit of massaging on the start of my wrist. Usage For some reason, there is a strap that is very difficult to fasten to my wrist with one hand. I am not sure what function it has, and it isn't mentioned in the user manual. The only thing I could find was in the product images that claimed "wrist precision". Unlike the Bob and Brad Hand Massager, this device does not massage the wrist anyway, even though a "wrist mode" is mentioned, which must be for smaller hands than I have, as it is mainly intended for the hand and fingers. In addition, for its steeper price, there are no disposable gloves provided in the box, which is a bit of an issue considering the internal cover (which appears to be elasticated nylon) cannot be removed for washing; so you are left with only one choice: always thoroughly wash your hands before using it. I can imagine this thing getting a bit grimy after a period of use, and that is a bit of a shame. With that said, the buttons on the device, from left to right, do the following: Heat button: 3-level heat control at 104°F, 113°F, or 122°F Mode button: Auto mode Circular mode Soothing mode Relax mode Palm and fingers mode Palm and wrist mode Intensity button: from (First-time users) 15Ka, 25Ka, 35Ka, 45Ka, 55Ka, 60Ka (Intensive relief) Knead button: on or off (6 pressure levels) Power button: Long-press to turn on or off Cooling button: turn on or off the cooling fan Also, in the product imagery, it states there are 36 "custom modes," but nowhere is it listed what these modes are. I can only imagine that they mean a combination of all of the above settings in different intensity levels. The device itself seems to rely on a single "kneading" mechanism located at the palm area of the hand, which spins when in use, and the other massage features are mainly utilized through the air sacs, increasing and decreasing at various levels on the hand and fingers. I am not sure it offered too much relief for someone who is typing and operating a mouse for hours at a time; further testing may be required. It does feel nice, though. Finally, you may be wondering how this fits into the scope of a tech website? Well, let me tell you something: sometimes I sit for up to 15 hours working on Neowin, and although I take breaks in between, it takes a toll on my body. I think in the immediate absence of a partner to apply relief, a good massager like this Hand Massager can shed the strains of the day in just a couple of 15-minute bursts. On the official website, this has an MSRP of $99.99, but luckily for our readers, it is selling at $10 off for just $89.99 right now on Amazon. SKG Hand Massager with Heat OS500 for $89.99 (with $10 off coupon), $99.99 MSRP For me, this gets a thumbs hands(?) down. However, it could be improved by making it so that the protective covering could be removed and thrown into the washing machine, or get yourself some disposable gloves to use with it.
