This only works for older games. I for one don't really want to copy games, but rather see homebrew (emulators) or full access to the graphic card on linux.
Exactly. That's all I want for now. Maybe the ability to dump PSOne and PS2 games to the HDD... but not PS3 games, not yet at least.

Still thats gay. Why not make 1000 Points 10 bucks. OR keep the 800 points at 10, but let me JUST buy 10 dollars worth, not 2.50 extra. I dont have a card so i have to use my sisters. PSN wins one over on Live for that one. Id rather get charged Tax.
The fees go both ways if it was cash <> games. This way it's cheaper fees for cash<>points for both you and MS. It's easier and cheaper for the end user. Remember not all states and countries share the same governing tax laws. I know if they did enable cash<>games transactions, I'd be paying for PST, GST and the Quebec tax. Making it cost MORE than the game is really worth, nearly 5 to 10 dollars more.
This also applies to Sony's PSN store for me & ma niggas. It's reason why he doesn't buy alot of things off PSN, taxes kill.
Then the Point system benefits those who dont live in the U.S? Im a bit confused i have to admit.
That's a bit baffling to me as well. So an American system, which sells much more units in... America... is favored more by non-American gamers because of its point system. Do explain more!

This is going to be horrible in a way. Now I will have to do hours of research online trying to find the smallest games to rip to my HDD. I am so glad I own MGS4. I wonder though, will this negate the option to install the game, or will that have to be done as well? Most games are programmed to access data on the HDD... I really do wonder how this will work?

I was playing online and it was fine. Just ask Solidus!

i think ninendo needs to go handheld and software only when your company says we have ran out of ideas for the wii wtf is that u just openly give up on your hype machine. and it was good playing sc4 with u today gouken. my damn wrist is messed up. thats why i stopped playing i will be back on later if u wanna play.
Yea, it was great to finally play a fighting game online. You were the first person I know that I played with online on a console too! I was glad the rumors of lag were greatly exaggerated. I just need to get better, which is why i went random because I was tired of deciding. lol
-
lol i got what u r saying, i just messing with the fanboys and the reason i got an elite my wife went and got it and thats what she got. like i said one day i will get brave and flash the thing maybe. just dont bury the ps3 yet as fukkkked up as sony does things they always end up doing right by the playstation. and u dont have to be a fan boy to know im telling the truth on that, just compare ps2 sales and hype to xsuck 1 sales, sony whipped microsofts ass.
It's true. Sony usually does find a way to come back. They have enough money to hire smart people to replace the stupid ones, after all. I do think M$ is here to stay though, and that the Wii was nothing but a quick fix to Nintendo's home console division to make another system. If the next one or two fail from Nintendo though, I think they're going strictly handheld from here on out.
-
Yea yea... I realized what I did after I submitted it. My bad. But thank you for the acceptance. At least I know 1 person got what I was saying.
I'm not a PS3 ogre. I just hate 360 fanboys who over dominate a section not meant for it. If you stretched this out to include the Wii and PS3, then it would be appropriate for the "Lounge" section.
-
Very insightful and correct on a ton of points. Some opinions thrown in for good measure as well. An overall very good read. But it still should be in the 360 section.

Yea resistance 1 was boring as hell. But Part 2 seemed to improve on everything that was wrong with the first.
*Cries* I actually liked the first one...
Superfan, defender of my purchase
Carry on, I am just passing by........Hey now, I wasn't defending. I was sad that others didn't like it. But hey, I didn't like Halo 2 or 3. We all have a right to our opinion.

Like i said before, the PS3 is the most comfortable system out without a doubt.
But the Fun Factor on the 360 is a bit highter then the PS3 NOT because of its game library, but because of Xbox Live. Its as simple as that.
I dont know what games you are seeing, but the Exclusives on Xbox 360 arent THAT great. One of the best ones is coming to the PS3(Bioshock)
Too bad Sony can never out-do a title like gears 2.
Resistance 2 is looking rather nice against Gears 2. I can't wait to see both of them though. I like how the Unreal Engine 3 is progressing. I remember first seeing the tech demo and wondering how and what could ever pull that off except a super computer.
-
I find it amazing that both these consoles have less than 100GB of disk space. Hell, you can even buy hard drives so small these days. They should have at least 300-500GB drives fitted as standard.
Oh, and BK, stop insulting other members.
The 360 Elite does have a 120GB HDD. Only problem is, it retails for $179.99 (Best Buy). Try explaining that one. I'd rather buy a 250GB HDD for my PS3 for $80-$100 from newegg.

Uh, Gouken, did you watch the video in the 1st place?
Yes I did, and Carmack has a lot of great points. But overall, this is a 360 owning, ego-feeding thread. I find that one post with the picture of superman with the PS symbol on it funny, but it really reflects what BlackKnight is doing. Making a thread with someone in the industry as his spokesman fortifying his own pre-conceived opinions.
If you wanted to justify your purchase and talk about how wonderful the 360 is, use the appropriate section. Otherwise, deal with my own opinion and personality.
Umm, if you are not going to accept an opinion from an expert in the gaming industry, who are you going to believe? Your argument do not hold water. Here, we have a famous game programmer, who is neutral when coming to develop games for PC and consoles, who knows more about gaming systems in technical term than any other ordinary person out there and you say that he is fortifying BK's so-called "pre-conceived" opinions just because he mentioned that X360 is a greater platform to develop and give good reasons on why it is so?!? Who do you think we should believe? A famous game programmer or a superfan who is a defender of his purchase of a failing system?
Sheesh, i would quote what Inky has said about you, " why don't you use your power to go and develop and maximise PS3 potential when other developers failed?"
I've heard the same story from the creators of uncharted and resistance in the PS3's favor. What John Carmack says, I cannot fully agree with. Everyone is bias, everyone. Carmack has been developing on PCs his whole life. So of course going from a PC to XBOX then 360, JC would feel more comfortable with that and see more potential with it. Because it's easier doesn't mean it's always better.
I can post all sorts of dev talk about how much better the PS3 is over the 360, with text and videos to boot. But am I going to? No. I'm going to point out a fanboy who does do that. That's all.

Good points. But apparently Blackknight wants to compare hardware. Anyways, did you download the latest PS3 update Don? In-Game XMB allows you to chat with your friends while in a game.
Watch the video you moron. Someone who knows infinitely more than your stupid ass says the 360 hardware wins hands down. Stop trolling this crap into just as asinine a thread as all the others.
Can we please get on topic and discuss that? I'm sick of idiots like you not even reading or watching the damn first post but throwing out all the PS3-support rhetoric just cause you think that's what this is about.
Bottom line; 360 online wins. 360 library wins. And now we have a professional opinion that the 360 hardware also wins. Card readers and wifi don't have sh!t on that.
That, BlackKnight, is rude and offensive. If this was any other forum, those insults would get you banned. Glad you set such a high standard for newcomers around here.
And if you already decided that the 360 was better, and have this video to back up your own opinion, then why defend it so adamantly? You wanted others to chime in and feed your own view of the situation, and apparently attack anyone whose views differ.
Just know who threw the first stone here my friend.

2-4 are opinions.
All of them are, really. I've used XBL and PSN. Sure XBL is more convenient, but I'm not exactly crying over how *bad* PSN is. It isn't bad at all, it's gotten a lot better then when it first launched, and of course will continue to get better and probably be on par with XBL within the next year. In terms of content? No, but functionality, yes.
You can't really make a sound judgement on a PS3 without sitting down with an open mind and just playing a few games on it. Go to a buddies house who has everything updated and actually uses the features on his console and let me know what you think. All these 'opinions' are from people who probably never even got to play a PS3 besides the store model.

Why the PS3 will lose:
1) PlayStation 3 is losing all the big exclusive titles they had, and going to the Xbox 360.
2) Lack of RPGs, I don't see all these developers doing RPGs like in the PS1 and PS2 eras.
3) Worse online service than Xbox Live. Plus there are worse games there, Xbox Live is getting a lot of awesome shooters.
4) PlayStation 3 is a commercial failure. And people don't waste money on failures, and don't forget the price because it's not cheap.
1) So is the 360.
2) Takes time to make a good RPG. PS3 has a few in queue.
3) But PSN is free. Who cares if its worse, you get what you pay for and so far, PSN is adequate.
4) No it isn't, that's your own opinion.

I think that the 360 should have an internal battery, along with internal wireless support, like the PS3.
The PS3 is a very large system, I'm sure everyone's aware, but in person this thing is humongous. I like the XMB more than the 360's dashboard, looks a bit more mature and creative, too bad I'm not able to access the dashboard fully while in game. Wireless support on the PS3 is convenient, I like being able to charge my controllers via USB. They seem to run out of battery quickly though, as opposed to the 360's controllers.
The USB cables that come with the controllers are extremely short, and in order to both play the PS3 whilst charging the controller, you'll need to sit right in front of the television. Might I add that the PS3 is very silent, I enjoy the PSP compatibility and the ability to download demos and play online for free, the registration is simple and easy. And oh, the PS3 is very shiny and sleek, (just never touch it). Adding to that, I like the unique and unnecessary touch sensitive power, reset, and eject buttons.
Blu-Ray doesn't mean much to me, until the day when Blu-Ray burners and BD-R dics become cheap, I'll use them to store data. I don't watch DVDs or Blu-Rays, the higher quality isn't really a reason for me to watch them, AVI. files on the computer are sufficient enough for me, my modded Xbox takes care of watching movies and whatnot. Not to mention, no one has actually been able to play a PS3 backup on it.
Then you have your backwards compatibility, I don't remember which version of the PS3 was that I played but it was able to run all of the games I had at the time, downloadable old school games is also a plus. It has a lack of games, though. The Xbox 360, an American console, is getting a larger share of exclusives for whatever reason, if someone actually knows why the 360 is getting all of the games, and the PS3 isn't getting any love, please tell me.
The PS3 is a certified DivX player and plays most AVI and XVID files through the HDD or a media server. Just figured I'd let you know, it's an awesome feature! The PS3 is harder to develope for so it may take a little while for a multi-platform game to come out for it then the 360, but currently the PS3 has more exclusive titles coming to it this year and next then the 360. So the PS3 love is in full swing, we just need to wait a few more months.

it lets you send msgs, but it doesnt let us voice-chat without the XMB in the way(That i know of)
And to tell you the truth, the hardware means nothing until its put to good use. I look for reliability. Im now not afraid of my 360 dying for the sole reason that i have a PS3 and a High end PC to hold me down until i get back my RRoD Xbox.
BUt the first day i got my xbox, me and a friend were playing halo all night. I was very eager to play again the night afterwards, then his Xbox got the RRoD =\
Now i have no real desire to play until he gets his fixed which would take about 3 weeks or more. I Imagine this is a common occurance to find out that the person you want to play with the most has an RRoD.
But the Games argument is stupid because the PS3 has enough titles and the xbox 360 exlcusives arent THAT great.
It all comes down to either having both, or whichever is more comfortable.
Also if you know more people on Live or PSN. Thats probably the biggest reason
Fully agree. In terms of which one is more appealing, it all depends on what you want out of a console. Hell, clearly people are finding that the Wii is more appealing then both the 360 and the PS3... how that happens I still don't know. But talking with a few people from work here gives me a clue... People just don't do research before buying. They see something new, hear it's great, and buy it. A co-worker last night told me they think PS3 games look better. We all know the truth on that one. Some are great, some are lacking, same with 360. In fact, the only way you can tell me this game looks better then that game is if we're comparing a Wii game to a PS3/360 game.
But the one thing that really bothered me while speaking to my co-worker who currently has the RRoD... she didn't know the 360 had problems. I instructed her as to the process of calling, recieving a box, all that good stuff. But she was honestly disgusted when I told her about the 360's RRoD problems. I think if more consumers took the time out to educate themselves on what they are purchasing instead of just thinking "Videogame, kids, must be safe and sterdy", less 360's would be sold, more outcry for a DVD add on for the Wii would be made, and every PS3 would be bundled with an HDMI cable and headset.

Its true what they say, XBox Live is REALLY worth it. I saw the insane amount of great titles on XBLA and now i cant wait to buy games like SF2 and Prince of Persia.
Being able to privately chat with your friends WHILE YOU PLAY is flockin great.
Most of the Good games are out on both anyways.
Gears of War on the Xbox Looks like crap compared to the PC Version
and the XMB is much better then the Dashboard.
Overall, The Xbox is a bit more fun i have to say.
Good points. But apparently Blackknight wants to compare hardware. Anyways, did you download the latest PS3 update Don? In-Game XMB allows you to chat with your friends while in a game.

Thank you, thank you.
Did you want to compare media drives, card readers, wifi, USB ports, wireless capabilities (bluetooth), storage options and capacity... All those are hardware related.
By comparing system specs and hardware capabilities, the PS3 clearly wins out of the box. I'd find it hard for even the hardest of hardcore xbots to argue against it. And don't give me that "I just want a gaming console" crap. All the extra bells and whistles, before mentioned, have made gaming much better, and easier for me. But as I tell most of my 360 owning friends who are currently shopping for their first or new hard drives to take advantage of newer features... you get what you pay for.
And you are making this into the kind of thread that you said we didn't need more of.
Hey, you're the one who wanted to compare just hardware. Not my fault if you can't take the cold hard facts. Look at any spec sheet and the PS3 wins hands down with overall capabilities.
It seems to me that you want to argue for the 360 based on 'theoretical' situations that both systems can and can't do. Bottom line is, look at the industry as of right now. The 360's hardware is showing its age with the DVD format and lack of a built in HDD. Sony may have made mistakes, but at least they planned for the future.
You want to look at games and online, then the 360 is leading. I don't necessarily think you need to pay for Xbox Live, but it still is superior in the online area. But you don't want to 'argue' about that, you want to compare hardware. Go ahead, compare.

AND IN THIS CORNER, WEIGHING AT 860 POUNDS, BLACKKNIGHT, THE EVER-CHALLENGING MOD FROM 1EMU, and IN THE OTHER CORNER, THE CHALLENGER, THE PS3 DEFENDER, THE ALL-ASSUMING ENTITY THAT CAN BRING PS3'S POTENTIAL TO THE MAX WHEN NO DEVELOPERS CAN, GOOOOOUUUUUUUUKKKKKEEEEEENNNNNNNNN! LET THE FIGHT COMMENCE!!!
Duke it out, guys

Exactly. Crap like this scares new users away. Sure it's nice to have the freedom to talk smack and all, but other forums have rules against Vs. threads for a reason. It alienates people. Both systems are great.
End it people. Close the thread and talk about something other then which system is better. This generation doesn't mean anything overall. Why? Because for some flocking reason the Wii, the worst out of all the systems, is 'winning'. Maybe you should make a thread about that. Discuss scenarios as to why a Gamecube with a new controller has actually outsold everything worldwide. That, to me, is a discussion worth having. And might provoke some intelligent thought as well.
Read the thread title. The whole point of this was to end that idle speculation and put a 'case closed' sticker on the debate of which system is better. Because that debate is well and truly settled now.
No it isn't, and never will be until these systems are dead and gone. The PS3's firmware will continue to be updated, and the 360 will continue to get updates of its own. Just like the Dev Kits for each system will be updated with easier to use tools throughout their life cycles.
Debating about which console is better NOW would be relevant, but a "case close" decision, end all be all? You've got to be kidding me.

Apparently SCEA and SCEE are looking into publishing this game. Know what that means? PS3 exclusive. I'd get a link, but I'm sure you all can find the news yourself.
Oooo, PS3 exclusive. i am soooooo excited.
So, this is going to make me go out and get a PS3..... 
Exactly, just like Fable II is going to make me go out and buy a 360.... PC? Ok, not fair.
Exactly, just like Gears of War 2 is going to make me go out and buy a 360... PC?! One more time here people!
Exactly, just like Halo Wars... oh flock, I give up.

Yea, and the main homebrew scene for the PS3 is all based on Linux. Now we have the BD-Java support... but really, how far do you think they can go with that?
