Tekken 6

[WiseCrack]

Graphics are crap 'but I'm enjoying the gameplay.

I thought you guys don't troll and look for trouble? In the example below, it seems maestro was being pretty decent and not choosing a side specifically on failure rates.

But check out out your baiting ... insane!













I don't quite get this? At any price? Bold statement

Is this similar to your statement than a R10,000.00 dedicated Blu Ray player would lag behind a PS3 in quality? I showed you reviews on how (sub R3,000)budget players match or better the PS3 in pure quality on BR.

Anyway - back to the media side. There are two ways of connecting, right? Direct HDD to USB and wireless streaming?

If I go direct, I'm limited to 4GB FAT32 - which removes even direct VOB rips of DVDs, let alone BR or HD rips. I cannot search the material - simply browse it. I have 20,000 songs ... yet I need to browse the PS3? It can't do MKV and certain other formats/codecs (m2ts etc). You require certain folders for the PS3 to recognise (PHOTOS, VIDEOS etc) Apart from the limited functionality, you've got a pretty crappy GUI while browsing files (no DVD cover, no synopsis of what you're watching, no genre etc etc)

So we go wireless now - and we get more codecs and containers as we have 3rd party software installed. We also bypass the 4GB file size limit - whew! Unfortunatly, those are usually HD files which can't really be streamed on Wireless B, as it's too slow :/ We still don't have the DVD cover, synopsis etc etc

How is this the best media machine at any price? Or am I missing something?

I didn't feel particurlary ganged up on.

Most droids (those that only own a PS3) feel that failure percentage rates plus BR and the rest makes the PS3 remarkably superior to the Xbox 360.

Both 'hard core' consoles have their limitations in terms of functionality but the console war has proven one thing ...

Depending on what console you bought, people are prepared to smash either 'side' for what choice they made. Forums, videos on YouTubes, Facebook, Twitter, you name it are filled with flame wars on the virtues and superiority of the console choice made.

At the end of the day the manufacturers are making millions from not just console sales but games and accessories despite the global economic crisis.

My first love is the Xbox 360 due to the games library and fantastic online experience of Xbox Live which I've invested in for the last 2 years and counting.

My Wii is gathering dust due to the fact that I've played all the decent games available on the platform that isn't exclusively for children. Not too bad considering its an import console that didn't cost much.

I've still to experience my PS3 in its full glory as I'm waiting for a replacement lens for the 'infamous BR lens failure' that this unit I bought on the cheap suffers from.

Thank you for the support in any case Dolby, in this incessant 'Xbox 360 vs PS3' cold war.

And thank you to the coffers of Nintendo, Microsoft and Sony for giving consumers a choice on how they want to spend their leisure hours enjoying digital entertainment.

Lets see who to thank!

Now lets see where it all started, from the onset

Oh ok. What's wrong with your 360? I can repair most problems

Ouch! Pure coincidence though.

No audio but sound is a motherboard warp-age issue. Could be that the x-clamp mod or more specifically the screws were tightened too much.

Pity you went the 'el cheapo' route to have the RROD issue fixed. The motherboard now has further problems.

I will say that all consoles have an issue sometime or other. Xbox 360s get flack for RROD and rightly so but in my experience Blu-ray failures are just such an issue with PS3 consoles, seconded by YLOD (yellow light of death).

It's a real pity that whatever platform you invest in there is that 'dark cloud' of hardware failure that strikes when you least expect it.

The newer revisions of both the 360 and PS3 will drop the failure % most definitely.

Enjoy your PS3 when you do get one. I now own one and will be investing in PS3 exclusives as time goes on.

Still enjoy my 360 and Forza 3 is sure getting my attention when I have spare time!

Ouch! Pure coincidence though.

Lets add percentage figures to these facts?

What is the percentage Xbox failures
What is the percentage PS3 failures
What is the cost of ownership

Like to hear you honest and true viewpoint, substantiated with supporting references.

Now look at the master con artists here!

First he says!

Then as he was done preaching he changes the subject by again misinterpreting another post! At his leisure. LOOK!

Now is that not something? he changes any thread where anything is discussed about the PS3 v Xbox and now Tekken to/about his personal HT system he wish to compare with the PS3? Shame.

FFS DOLBY namesake, get on topic!

am I missing something?

You miss a lot, like in which thread YOU' are trolling!

 

[I am Penguin]

Don't you mean Wireless B+G? You need N if you're considering HD streaming.

Typo - I mean G I'll edit ...

Shame!

 

[Killove]

So i bought it on Fri,

I must say i'm not that impressed...
However I suppose Tekken is really only fun multiplayer.

Single player there is a campaign mode which is very tedious..

Suppose i'll have to round up a few mates before I can really judge.

Graphics wise, not that much different from Tekken 5.. a couple new chars, which is nice..

Overall - unimpressed

 

[Dolby]

I'm pretty sure that's the reason ...

I used to be a huge Tekken fanatic, but in all the years I had it, I never played it alone. It was probably also one of my favourite games

 

[Tegnik]

I know this is going to sound lame and I WILL get flamed... but I looooove MK vs DC. To me it is better than Tekken 5. I will get Tekken 6 and try
