Top Ten Reasons To Wait For PS3


Recommended Posts

The only good game coming out for PS3 to me is MGS3. And I'd rather play as Sam Fisher anyday. Devil May Cry isn't my kind of game, and Killzone is going to be lame again. Sony knows how to make RPGs and racers not FPS's. It just has to do with the games you like. I think 360 will offer a more satisfying plethora of FPS games and a more satisfying online experience.

And that controller really really turns me off. It makes my fingers hurt just looking at it.

Last I checked Square Enix signed with xbox 360 now...and backed away from sony...its one of the biggest news featuring the console wars...yet this article states that square enix is still with sony and not with microsoft...somebody needs to do more research.

Square Enix is still working with Sony

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

Sony's Rootkit.

Oh please, move on and get over it, they realized they made a mistake and are taking appropriate measures. I'm sure they won't let that happen again since they're being sued by many. Aside from that, I perfer the PS3 over Xbox 360. The 360 seems like its just a gaming console, while the ps3 seems like it'll have more potential than just that, it'll be more.... wait and see :)

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?

Oh really? So the article tells me and others about the existence of PS3 & Revolution. Thats brilliant! :rolleyes: Its nothing but the people with their own agendas trying to defuse the hype around 360's launch.

No shock that the article falls flat on its face:

It sounds like that article is wrote by a desprate fanboy to me?:huh::

jus cuz sony dont charge u to play online, dont mean it doesnt have online... it has a faster ethernet port than the 360 aswell... and they do plan on capitalising on a sony version of xbox live... so dont even bother fanboy

i think u'll find sony doesnt make those games, they r by other Japanese companies, and sony have yet to finalise the controller, but i do admit that one does look sore...

im getting my PS3 when im in japan next year along with the games that the west will never see because its to consumed by pathetic sports titles that EA will flood the market with!

USA =/= "the west" :)

The only good game coming out for PS3 to me is MGS3. And I'd rather play as Sam Fisher anyday. Devil May Cry isn't my kind of game, and Killzone is going to be lame again.

MGS3 was for PS2. Its out and the "subsidence" version of it is already announced (released?). Nobody cares if you don't like DMC, because I liked it, and so did (since they're making a third one) thousands if not millions of other gamers. Also, please tell me how you got your clairvoyance, because if I could tell if games are going to be good/not based on minute-long videos (especially since they are generally accepted as being pretty damn awesome, even if there's doubt as to whether or not they were realtime).

The Playstation 3 is the only console that really looks like the next generation to me. Microsoft announced a console and it quickly came out. It's also not long since the old XBOX, which was alive and kicking. Leaving the XBOX for another year/half-year wouldn't have hurt. Sony are taking the slower game, but are ensuring quality. Whereas Microsoft's game systems have been built from currently exisiting technology, at least Sony is being creative and innovative by making a completley new processor architecture, that will not only be used in the PS3, but by very demanding servers and HD televisions, if nothing else. The CELL also has driverless support for every other CELL device. Imagine hooking up your CELL-powered HD camcorder (:p) to your PS3, and having them instantly recognise each other and just work? OK, you're going to need software to use them, but at least there are no driver issues, and the CELL has been shown time and time again to be amazingly faster than currently-exisitng technology.

Also, you just know SONY can pull off a console like this - look what they did with the PS2! Innovative stuff coming left, right, and centre, with games as stunning (in visuals, depth of story, realism) as Metal Gear Solid 3, even though there were "superior" consoles out from a raw horse-power PoV, and many believed the console was pushed to its limits already, and it was dead. The difference between this case and the 360 vs PS3 is that the PS3 doesn't just accel in raw HP, but in the whole way it operates. The XBOX just added more Mhz, but didn't revolutionise. The PS3, however, is a revolution. That's how things make it big - by being innovative. Everyone knows it - its nothing new. Microsoft just can't do that. There are some things Microsoft just can't do right, and games are one of them (acutally, I think its the overboistrous attitude of the people they employ, but there you go). Look at J.Allard, and then look at Ken Kutaragi - two completley different kinds of people, only Ken is more like the type who just succeed. J.Allard went about saying the 360 is more powerful than the PS3 and their games will look better - with lots of things to the contrary, and talking about a console that doesn't even exist in plastic and silicon yet! He's the sort of "it just is... err.. ignore everyone else, and buy our stuff". Sony provide more. I can't really describe it, and I'm sure I'm going to get flamed by all the very contraversial things I've said here, but half of it I don't agree with. I'd like to revise it, but I know I can't do better to describe why Sony will just win. Like I said, you just know Sony can make something great out of this.

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.

:rofl:...I should also note I am not a MS fan boy...

hell I use a Mac and own a Sony MD....:/

but come one, you got to agree that post was weak...Blue Ray...fine, Connection and Expension...fine. But COME ON, a game listed down as a reason? You can still pre-order?!?!...

You got to agree that the author didn't put too much thought in making the article an unbiased and fully supported one and so can't we come to a conclusion that he/she must be some kind of Sony Fanboy to push out an article like that?...

I stand corrected...

Fact is... there are MANY people that will buy the PS3 for Metal Gear Solid 4.

Just like many are buying the 360 and will buy the 360 for Halo 3.

Shaddap.

Ok seriously, I am an Xbox360 fan-boy and let me say this.

Truely truely, PS3 is the the most advanced game system out of all the new systems, it truely screams 'next-gen' with 1080P tv support which would be a standard in a couple of years due to regulation by U.S. Congress (By 2009 most people should have HD ruling...) anyways, so stop argueing people. The Xbox360 to me doesnt look so next-gen, I mean they should've used bluetooth too but they didnt, which would've made it better for responsiveness, etc.

Blu-Ray is also next-gen, most probably this is going to be the standard soon, because of its huge capability, and capacity, so why not buy the PS3?

I am personally buying an Xbox360 when the PS3 comes out which is when we will see some dropping prices and then months later I will save for a PS3 and buy it, and maybe revolution if its worth buying, mainly for the classic Nintendo games really :rofl:

Go Xbox360!!

Let's think of History...

Nintendo has ruled from 1986 to 1996 when the PSX as outpassed the N64 right?

Now we are near 2006, does Sony will lose his pole position after 10 years?

(By the way, who want to play with 7 Boomrang? :rofl: )

I don't care which is better, what ever is out right now ppl are gona get. And since now 360 is oout everyone wants that, plus some sony fanboy is gona buy a 360 no matter what.

all i'm looking forward on the ps3 is Tekken *pls god let it be online* and msg4*although it was pre rander stuff I still like it*

Oh really? So the article tells me and others about the existence of PS3 & Revolution. Thats brilliant! :rolleyes: Its nothing but the people with their own agendas trying to defuse the hype around 360's launch.

The article is about the PS3.... :huh:

No shock that the article falls flat on its face:
Well it seems to have gotten a rise out of the Xbox360 people for some reason so it apparently did its job.

    • DriversCloud 12.1.6 by Razvan Serea With DriversCloud (formerly My-Config.com), you can explore your computer easily, safely and free. The application quickly scans your PC and identifies the hardware and software components. DriversCloud then establishes a list of the different drivers compatible with your OS and hardware. Download the drivers needed for the proper functioning of your computer. To detect your drivers, DriversCloud also displays a detailed summary of your hardware and software configuration, analyzes your BSOD, monitors in real-time your PC voltages and temperatures and lets you share your configuration online. Once the hardware components have been detected, you will be able to obtain with just a few clicks the latest drivers corresponding to the identified hardware. You can record your configuration on the site for free, and can get the corresponding URL to post the configuration to technical forums, e-mail and social networks. You can also download the detection result (the configuration) as a PDF file. To protect the user's privacy and data confidentiality, a 4-level confidentiality system was created that filters the XML marks and gives control to the user. The default level can be modified in the preferences. Using the maximum level will prevent the user from publishing his configuration and generating a corresponding PDF file. In non-connected mode, each XML configuration is stored on the server for one day (for practical reasons). However, you are given the opportunity to manually delete it.

    • Ocenaudio 3.19.3 by Razvan Serea  Ocenaudio is a full featured, fast and easy to use audio and music editor. It is the ideal software for people who need to edit and analyze audio files without complications. Ocenaudio also has powerful features that will please more advanced users. To assist ocenaudio development, a powerful toolset of audio editing, analysis and manipulation called Ocen Framework was created. ocenaudio is also based on Qt framework, a well known library for cross-platform development. Cross-platform support ocenaudio is available for all major operating systems: Microsoft Windows, Mac OS X and Linux. Native applications are generated for each platform from a common source, in order to achieve excelent performance and seamless integration with the operating system. All versions of ocenaudio have a uniform set of features and the same graphical interface, so the skills you learn in one platform can be used in the others. VST plugins support Ocenaudio supports VST (Virtual Studio Technology) plugins, giving its users access to numerous effects. Like the native effects, VST effects can use real-time preview to aide configuration. Real-time preview of effects Applying effects such as EQ, gain and filtering is an important part of audio editing. However, it is very tricky to get the desired result by adjusting the controls configuration alone: you must listen the processed audio. To ease the configuration of audio effects, ocenaudio has a real time preview feature: you hear the processed signal while adjusting the controls. The effect configuration window also includes a miniature view of the selected audio signal. You can navigate on this miniature view in the same way as you do on the main interface, selecting parts that interest you and listening to the effect result in real time. Multiselection for delicate editions To speed up complex audio files editing, ocenaudio includes multi-selection. With this amazing tool, you can simultaneously select different portions of an audio file and listen, edit or even apply an effect to them. For example, if you want to normalize only the excerpts of an interview where the interviewee is talking, just select them and apply the effect. Eficient edition of large files With ocenaudio, there is no limit to the length or the quantity of the audio files you can edit. Using an advanced memory management system, the application keeps your files open without wasting any of your computer's memory. Even in files several hours long, common editing operations such as copy, cut or paste happen almost instantly. Fully featured spectrogram Besides offering an incredible waveform view of your audio files, ocenaudio has a powerful and complete spectrogram view. In this view, you can analyze the spectral content of your audio signal with maximum clarity. Advanced users will be surprised to find that the spectrogram settings are applied in real time. The display is updated immediately when altering features such as the number of frequency bands, window type and size and dynamic range of the display.
