do you have a source for that bit? that goes completely against everything bluray has said...

with the 499 model (no hdmi) you should be viewing bluray discs at 480p.

Actually I am right, at least for Sony and Universal anyway...point is, the image constraint token is not going to kick in like everyone is being led to believe.

Wishful thinking there. :p

Er, no. I honestly believe that with the Xbox being $400, and then the add-on being $200-$300 at least (only my prediction, don't shoot me), it'll exceed the price of the 60GB PS3.

Similarly Sony could sell the PS3 for a hundred dollars more while they are at it but that didnt happen.

Except Sony co-developed Blu-ray, and they will gain from Blu-ray sales. What will Microsoft gain from HD-DVD movie sales??

No you are not. This is what you said: "no other studios have said they will incorporate this sneaky feature either." and I showed you one major studio. Some of their titles out already feature ICT.

$200-$300 and that too at least. If that is not wishful thinking then I dont know what is. :p

Competitive market share for one. ;)

Ok let see here

PS3 is missing Dual HDMI connectors for Game panning on 2x 1080P displays, no way in hell Sony could have pulled that one off, 3x Nic Ports no need for 3 of them. Lasty from what i have been reading is that the Blue-ray drive isa no show yet in the machine. and further more since i was not impressed with the PS3 in graphics and or originality i wont myself be buying one.

From E3 2005 last year to this year so many Sony Fans siad playstation 3 will rule and kick ass and be better. i sure you peaple who did say that are ready to eat soem Soap cause you all got dirty mouths he he he he . and Brandon Live is correct on his views i really doubt sony will have a completly FREE onlien service

First of all I wish you would stop pulling your facts out of nowhere. :rolleyes: Sony announced at E3 that they would have 2 levels of online play. Yes one of them they will charge for. Much like Microsoft does. It was on one of the powerpoint slides. The pay for version includes extra tracking of friends across buddy lists and such.

Second, what have they really gotten rid of? There is still 1x HDMI (which is all you need), 1x CAT5, 4x USB (2 more than before), 1x Component out, and still wireless? Whats the big fuss?

Sonys 15 minutes of Fame is up. i just really dont think PS3 is all that impressive as the Nintendo Wii or the first reactiosn of the Xbox 360 . i will continue playing my playstation 2 but will not be purchusing a PS3 for alot of Letdown has been shown

Are we at it again? The bitching, whining and fan-boy wars?

Come on people, you know the price, extra features, etc. Don't mean anything with consoles, and I think that is pretty evident with the Playstation 2. It wasn't feature packed, superior hardware wise but the games are what matters. The only reason the Playstation 2 sold is because of it's huge and amazing game library, yes it may not be YOUR type of games but it proved fair and square that hardware never matters.

Also whoever said that Playstation 3 doesn't a license for the Unreal 3 engine and the Unreal Tournament 2007 version of PS3, well you're wrong. http://www.epicgames.com/press_ps3.html and http://www.gamespot.com/ps3/action/unrealt...s.html?mode=all

It's funny all you Xbox 360 fan-boys are the ones nit-picking at the Playstation, Is it because it was more superior to your beloved Xbox? I don't know but I didn't see as much nit-picking from Nintendo and Sony fan-boys as I just saw in this thread.

LMFAO.

UT2007 was only for PS3 and now Sony managed to lose exclusivity to even that game.

Wow, how old are some of you? Really now...

Sony said that the outputs on the back weren't final and were bound to change. Some people are just going full force on this Sony bashing because they have nothing else to do.

No kidding, the idiot who made the image with "Lie" all over it points to the USB ports two even though sony added four to the front. Haha, these fanboys. Hilarious. :rofl:

That being said, I think revolution will win japan, ill try for a revolution first then a ps3

But just look at the Core system...what fool would choose to buy that? Sony's doing the same thing: they want you to go for the higher priced one.

Major distinction:

The core system can be upgraded to be exactly the same as a "premium" unit. The only difference is the included accessories.

With the PS3 "value" edition, you actually get a lesser unit that will never have HDMI, or memory card slots, or wireless inside of it.

pros:

- controler that lots of people like

- hdmi (only on 600 model)

- lots of rpgs

- backward compatilble (maybe?)

cons:

- no force feedback (how could they call it dual-shock 3 when the point of dual-shock was the rumble?)

- price

- lost most of the features sony promised last year

- losing lots of "exclusive" titles

I would like to point out that I didn't make the pic, just posted it from another site. I thought it was a funny picture, even if it's not completely correct or a big deal about the missing ports :)

Not commenting on you post, just your sig. You do realize that the 500 dollar PS3 has all the hardware features of the 400 dollar 360 + a blu-ray player right? It's really only fair to compare the 500 dollar PS3 to the cost of an xbox 360 + the HD-DVD add-on. The 600 dollar PS3 has a hardware feature set that extends beyond the premium 360 + hd-dvd add-on.

Please realize that the comparison is not PS3 versus Xbox 360, rather the comparison is for the two flavors of each console. Although both purchases are dumb (imo), it is dumber to purchase a $500 PS3 over the $600 PS3 than it is to purchase the $300 Xbox 360 over the $400 Xbox 360 since the Xbox 360 is upgradable, the PS3 is not.
