Janitor Posted January 1, 2008 Share Posted January 1, 2008 Good luck with your new purchase......But out of interest, why have you picked the PS3? Before price cuts on GAME, the PS3 is ?10 more expensive. ?10 to avoid the possible RRoD is win in my books. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

benderthefender Posted January 1, 2008 Author Share Posted January 1, 2008 Good luck with your new purchase......But out of interest, why have you picked the PS3? main reason, programming, actually embedded system programming. i develop software for ARM chip, as the PS3 is an "embedded" sort of a device and it use's GNU assembly, i can transfer alot work to the console through C and ASM. i would have gotten an xbox360 or nintendo wii but they are not open consoles, so the ps3 was the only choice. and i was hoping to get metalslug to run on it as well. should be fun.

SnowRanger13 Posted January 1, 2008 Share Posted January 1, 2008 don't forget the protection plan and hdmi cable ;-) :-/ HDMI cable is a must if your TV has it. But no need for protection plan. Congrats on your buy. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
benderthefender Posted January 1, 2008 Author Share Posted January 1, 2008 HDMI cable is a must if your TV has it. But no need for protection plan.Congrats on your buy. ive got a hitachi 42" hd ready plasma, bought this a year ago and ive never tested it with an hd source. im wondering what kind of a graphics improvement i will get, remember i coming from metalslug :shifty: i can finally see whats all the fuss about this HD era.... will i be impressed, i hope so. ive just bought a very good quality hd cable from independent retailer for only ?7. protection plan? by the way can i connect my psp to the console???? and play games of the ps3 but watch it through the psp? by the way, can i setup my ps3 to find all my media i.e. movies music from my private network? and thanks.

booboo Posted January 1, 2008 Share Posted January 1, 2008 Erm what......how so then? Easy, graphics are better, embedded wireless, other OS's support, the possibility for bigger/longer games (blue ray disks) and wireless controllers come with a plug and charge cable as well as internal rechargeable batteries (in the controller)... I could go on all day. Don't get me wrong, the xbox is a good piece of kit, and I have been supporting them for a long time, but the PS3 has won me over.

booboo Posted January 1, 2008 Share Posted January 1, 2008 Well all the games I had for the xbox, and all the games I have for the PS3 the graphics on the ps3 are far better. I may be wrong but the ps3 has better graphics OR has the potential for better graphics than the xbox Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Cloud Constructors Posted January 1, 2008 Share Posted January 1, 2008 I was thinking about getting a PS3 now, is it worth it? There could be potential price drops by Spring 08 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

+Audioboxer Subscriber² Posted January 1, 2008 Subscriber² Share Posted January 1, 2008 Please explain what is so funny... While I don't necessarily agree with everything you said, it's unfortunately common practice in the GH for people to mock you as you share a different opinion than theres :hmmm: It's ironic, they're mocking you for having an opinion by their own opinion...

booboo Posted January 1, 2008 Share Posted January 1, 2008 Indeed, And just to finish one thing off. Of course by comparing the shots of the xbox and the ps3 games they will look similiar, because one of them was designed for a certain console and then upgraded/downgraded for the console. There is no proper way to sort this argument out. I don't know if you understand what I mean, but in short terms, if a game is for a specific console e.g halo 3 the graphics are as good as the xbox will run (with a decent FPS) whereas if a game is made for both consoles then they will have similiar graphics, but with anti-aliasing or some small differences. Do you see what I mean? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
