Dude, do you sometimes have no idea what you're babbling on about?
The PS3 is okay at playing BD but not much else. Thats a fact. Oh wait, no it isn't because making wildly speculative comments does not make for an argument. So no, you did not post facts but merely a clearly very uninformed opinion.
Its like arguing about the colour of the sea when you've only ever seen it in a magazine.
Now that’s a lot of uninformed fanboi Xbot babble. Very well put by a Fanboi Xbot that just claimed he do not have the time or rather the will to read the so called links where the uninformed "opinions" is proven to be factual. Very rich.
Many posters stated here that the PS3 and the Xbox is on par with gaming with the BotBox having a slight but temporary lead with some ported games regards to pixels and frame rates. Then it can do all the other things you so wish to ignore and at the same time wish the XBotBox could do, gathering information from old Bots posts.
What the bots want
Aspire a BD player for the BotBox
Play proper HD content and DVD's
Have decent sound
Act as proper media device
Then there is the point of running codec’s natively (hardware)
Hard drive size, easy DIY upgrade.
Memory
Also
Have the Looks of a media device (Xbox = Impossible. That fugly white thing)
The noise (Sounds like a jet engine) LOL
Can run Linux natively (another life for the PS3 when upgrading to PS4)
Can be updated with firmware to new standards (Like DTS HD master sound)
Lifespan of 10 Years overlapping with the PS4.
Have the capacity to develop and improve for many more years
BD Live
PSN ID
Free online
Let’s look at old Bot arguments
Who needs a bigger drive?
Who needs a BD PLAYER?
Who needs a Media center?
Who needs more memory?
We only need a games console NOTHING more
The PS3 is overpriced (Including with BD drive) YET to get the Xbox to act to some degree or level of improved standards, that the PS3 do all in one inherently, you need to purchase additionally all the extras making it then more expensive than the PS3.
The ‘tardy comment to suss the mind is then always “At least we had a choice.”
I agree. You had choices and chose the cheapest. But for only a games console at least, for now, we agree. You made the best choice then. In future, we will see. Only time will tell.
