buy that playstaion

It's an excellent console. But really, until some games come out, it's just a blue ray player.

Can't help but get the feeling that if Sony could have a redo, the PS3 would be a very different machine, no expensive BLue Ray player, more conventional architecture, come out a year earlier and cost $150 less. It would then be kicking the 360s ass and have had a nice dominant position before the WII arrived. They screwed up big time, but then iut's easy to say with hindsight.

um... the thing is, that with the blu-ray, the extra data space is actually suitable for the high def. games, there's a game that is 18gigs in total which means the xbox's dvd will be lacking

True. Unless MS do something like put it on two disks. Inelegant, but a whole lot cheaper.

The BlueRay is very nice. Just that it pushes the price up a whole wack. So would you rather have a PS3 with BlueRay as is now or one without that costs the same as an XBox? For R3.5k without BlueRay, I'd be off to the shops right now. MS got that right with their DVD. Few people care that much about BlueRay or HDDVD or whatever format. I want a console to play games first and foremost. Hell, I'd fork out extra cash for DivX compatability long before BlueRay or HDDVD. And if BlueRay becomes significant, there will be an external player for the XBox.

with the price tag sony ps3 has currently it will NEVER be a good console. way to pricey for something the xbox can do at half the price.

I agree with GougedEye. BlueRay is nice, but not nice enough to pay an extra three grand on a machine that fails in every other department.

of which 17gb is uncompressed FMV, and 1gb is for the game itself?

yay... way to go...
 
Too true, currently its only a BR player with no real blockbuster games until 2008. And please dont post any of the multiplatform games which are to be released for the PS3 coz they will play better on the X360 anyhow. ;)
 
Well, as long as sales stay as crappy as they are at the moment, no big software house will consider making a lot of PS3 exclusive games. Besides, coding for the 360 is 10 times easier and you can almost directly port the games to the PC if done right.

How many games will have to be released on the PS3 until people will admit there are games for the PS3?

1 Killer exclusive

Everyone said the 360 had no games until Gears was released and now suddenly it has tons ;)

People are fickle....

If MGS4 stays as an exclusive then that would be it for the PS3

There has to be at least one game so good it justifies the price of the console.
 
Playstation 3 is a great console from blu-ray to design. There are too many positives abt the console. Games?? I'm bored to death with how 360 fanboys continually use this as some kind of leverage. This is a short term perspective at best... The games will come, u only have to look @ SGD 07. Enough now ... Go play ur consoles

Difference is the xbox is more future friendly. If BR does win the HD war, you could get a BR add-on for the xbox. But what if HD-DVD wins? Would you still be chirping for BR?
 
SGD 07... thats for all the games that missed its 2007 release dates right? :p
