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.

586848042[/snapback]

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.

    • Hey Google, these are the Gemini features I want in 2026 by Aditya Tiwari Google Gemini has been around for over three years. The AI chatbot started its journey back in 2023 (as Bard) when ChatGPT was already a talk of the town. However, it quickly attracted criticism after misrepresenting facts about the James Webb Space Telescope. The search giant spent a year fine-tuning Bard before rebranding the chatbot and its underlying generative AI model to Gemini, drawing inspiration from NASA's first human spaceflight program. Note that Bard was initially powered by LaMDA and PaLM 2; Google has since added several new features and integrations to Gemini. That said, there is scope for improvement and a gap for new features. I have been using Gemini for a while now and have realized that the chatbot lacks several features, making it harder for me to research across topics. These are mostly function-over-form updates that can improve the overall experience. Delete individual messages from a conversation Image via DepositPhotos.com One good thing about Gemini is that it can maintain context throughout the conversation. But things might get chaotic when you want to ask a related question, but don't want it to be part of your conversation in the long run. You can't ask that related question in a fresh chat because Gemini will lose the active conversation context of what you're trying to research. If Google allowed you to delete individual question/answer pairs, you could simply ask about a sub-topic and remove it from the conversation to create a smooth flow of important stuff. Offline mode Image via DepositPhotos.com A big pain of using Gemini daily is that everything loads from the cloud. It takes time for your chats to appear, and you can't view your conversation history while offline. To get a better idea, you can open the Gemini app and see how it looks without an internet connection. While Gemini models run in the cloud, it wouldn't hurt if Google could store chats (at least the text part) on the device so we can refer to them when offline. Google can also offer a lightweight version of its AI model to help with basic drafting, summarization, and other tasks. It has the Gemini Nano model, which can perform on-device processing on Google Pixel, Samsung, and some other Android brands, but it's a system feature and not related to the cloud-based Gemini app. Make temporary chats permanent I can't thank Google enough for taking the time and effort to add incognito mode or temporary chat mode to the Gemini app. It lets you have conversations without worrying that the topics will end up in your chat history or used for model training (at least on paper). Google claims that it doesn't use your temporary chats to "personalize your Gemini experience or train Google’s AI models." However, the data is stored "up to 72 hours to respond to you and to process any feedback you choose to provide." That said, I often start researching something in a temporary chat, only to realize the chatbot's answer is good enough to refer to later. Sadly, Gemini doesn't have an option to make such temporary chats permanent. In other words, I won't be able to follow up on it if I close the temporary chat. I'm left with alternatives like copying the answers into notes or another app. My digital life will get a lot better if Gemini gets a button to make temporary chats permanent. Collapse answers for a cleaner view You're heavily invested in your research game and suddenly feel the need to go up in the chat to recall something. This is when the conversation thread starts to feel like an overwhelming, unending wall of questions and answers. What if Google added a way to collapse Q&A pairs in the Gemini chat thread? It would look quite clean and easy to navigate. You'll quickly get an overview of everything you have discussed with the chatbot. Add buttons to jump between messages Suggested mockup of the feature. This reminds me of a small but useful Gemini feature that Google could add to its chatbot: the ability to hop between prompts in a conversation. Just add simple up- and down-arrow buttons, similar to YouTube Shorts, so people can quickly scroll through the messages. A table of contents or Chat Overview It's hard to get a bird's-eye view of everything you have discussed with the chatbot during a lengthy conversation. This is where a table of contents, or Chat Overview, displayed at the top of the screen, possibly in a drop-down button, might come in handy. You'll be able to get an overview of the chat and jump between messages, serving as an alternative to the up/down arrow buttons. Temporary mode for Gemini Live Image: Google You can use Gemini Live to have real-time conversations with the chatbot, which feels like you're talking to someone in the same room. However, a downside is that Gemini Live doesn't work in Temporary Chat mode, so all your conversations end up in the chat history. Google should consider expanding the temporary chat mode to include Gemini Live. Default to a specific chat One thing that feels somewhat annoying to me is that Gemini always opens in a new chat, whether on web or mobile. Sometimes, you want to return to your last chat. Google can take cues from web browsers, which let you choose whether you want to go to a new tab or a specific web page(s). Gemini can also have options to default to a specific chat when reopened. That said, generative AI chatbots have endless possibilities given the vagueness of their work. You can mold them the way you want by attaching different connectors, adding custom instructions, and including source files. It remains to be seen what Google has in store for future updates and whether anything from this wishlist gets the green light. The search giant released a stream of new Gemini updates in recent months, including Gemini 3.5 Flash and Gemini Omni Spark, adding that it now has 13 products with more than a billion users each. What do you want to see in the Gemini app? Tell us in the comments.
    • Thank you for the post. Just a FYI that links to an outside site or promoting specific software is considered spamming here. Asking general questions is fine.
    • I have been thinking about AI detector tools as a software workflow rather than a single "AI score" widget. When someone pastes text or uploads a document, the UI can return a report with a probability-style score, sentence highlights, reliability notes, and limitations. The useful part is that it can point a reviewer toward passages worth reading again. The risky part is that a polished score can look more certain than it really is. For people who build or review web apps, what should happen before the user copies or exports that kind of report? The minimum I would expect is: A clear input boundary for pasted text versus document files. Limits shown near the workflow, including minimum text length and maximum file size. A report label that says the result is a signal, not proof of who wrote the text. Sentence highlights and evidence notes alongside the global score. Reliability notes when the sample is too short or lacks enough sentence variety. False-positive and false-negative caveats that remain visible in copied/exported summaries. I am trying to avoid the pattern where a clean report card becomes the whole product story. For AI detection, "review this evidence in context" seems more honest than "trust this score." Would you keep the warning text visible on every report, or make it collapsible so the main result stays easier to scan? Disclosure: I work on a small AI detector/reporting workflow, but I am intentionally not linking it here. I am asking about software and report design, not promoting a site.
