  1. I chose Patapon because it was cheap. :lol: My brother was offering to sell me his PSP for relatively cheap, is the thing, and I wanted to know how badly he had flocked it up. Then I borrowed it and ran into problems not caused by him, but by Sony.

     

    When I say built in save, I mean a hard drive, or cartridges. The thing told me I had to go out and buy a memory card. I realize you can tell it doesn't have a flip screen, that's not something I just discovered. :P I've never had to patch another system before, though, save my PC, what else does that?

  2. The PSP is terrible. I went out and bought Patapon recently as a cheap game to try a PSP with and the whole thing is some sort of convoluted joke. I can't even tell what some of these buttons are supposed to be, there's no built in save feature, there's no flip screen, which should really come standard these days as a way of keeping the screen clear, and when I put my game in it made me patch the system! It didn't even let me patch the system at first because it had to let the battery charge, even though I was plugged directly into the wall at the time.

     

    Also, the Universal Media Disc that only works in one device is still sort of funny.

  3. Armour breakable?!? Wow, that seems good.

     

    And Vader is such a badass. Damn, i want him more now. Really really hoping it will be for DLC on X360.

     

    Don't set your hopes to high, an exclusive is an exclusive. They're selling points for the consumer. So if I wanted Yoda, I'd have to get it for 360, same for PS3. So if people want both characters, they have to get both versions.

     

    See how that'll sell more copies then?

    Only if that consumer owns both consoles. As a purchasable download, they make money from everyone who owns the game.

  4. Mario Kart and Smash Brothers Brawl are both big. There's a big wave of WiiWare or whatever hitting it now, too. I think the other two platforms have something similar, but maybe I'm giving them too much credit. :)

     

    The Wii also has its catalog of older titles. I'm not sure how well that's going for Nintendo, but there are definitely some good games in there.

  5. 33% Failure Rate - I like to be secure in my purchase and not play russian roulette at the check out counter.

    The PS3 had a 100% failure rate. They're all useless. Nearly all of the games are bad or multiplatform.

     

    Pay for Online - I'm already paying my cable modem bill, why more?

    A flaw of the 360, but not the Wii.

     

    Standard HDD - Sure, we get installations, but we also get faster loading and streamable games. Got that? Nope.

    This goes back to point one. I don't want to spend time installing and streaming Daikatana.

     

    No Wi-Fi?!?! - No need to say a word.

    Again, 360 flaw, but not the Wii's.

     

    HD out of the box - Buy a blu-ray player, you'll like the quality. Oh wait, buy a PS3.

    Honestly negligible. I didn't notice the difference between VHS and DVD, and I haven't noticed the difference between DVD and blu-ray.

     

    This is coming from someone who has owned or had access to all three current consoles. I don't play any of them a ton, but the PS3 was so unentertaining it was sold. I tipped someone off to its existance while I was working backstock at Target, we just sort of had extras (I didn't find a Wii until a year later, for comparison). I suggested they sell it, but instead they kept it. Then after almost not touching it for half a year, they decided to sell it. The first time I tried using it I couldn't even figured out how it worked, which I would consider a flaw. It was certainly easy to figure out how to work a Wii and 360, again, for comparison.

     

    Eventually I reached the OS menu and managed to start up a copy of the multiplatform game uh...Marvel something. It was pretty fun, but multiplatform, and the controller felt weird.

    They do at least have normal controllers in a style that I prefer above the Wii's and 360's. I'll give it that. But until it gets something other than FPS and gritty action games, I'm just not interested. I'm probably not going to buy one anyway, because it's just too expensive to bother.

  6. I think the hype for the PS3 that has been made is more illusion than a reality. Don't get me wrong I think it's a great console but people expect things way higher than they are and that makes the console look bad. But by no means terrible.

    Pretty much what I think on the PS3. I know I defend the 360 from time to time and hate on the PS3, because let's face it, the PS3 has the worst PR in the world.

    It's Ridge Racer! Riiiiiidge Racer!

     

    I love to hate the PS3, because it's pretty much terrible. I'm not going to right now, though, I'm just going to laugh at it for being worse than the 360, even if only in Beta.

  7. went to Iraq to get osama?

    when Osama was in Afghanistan and/or pakistan?

     

    explain to me how the invasion of a country that was led by an enemy of beladin (saddam and osama hated one another) would lead to the capture of osama.

     

    Okay here's how this works. You're playing golf, and there's this duck, right? So you're aiming for the green but instead it hits this duck and it gets all pissed off and starts killing civilians. So then you're trying to throw your clubs at the duck, but they keep missing and you end up hitting more civilians. Then the duck gets more angry because you're killing civilians and calls in its flock to take a big dump on your golf kart.

     

    Then there's sort of this grayish area.

     

    And that's why Osama was in Iraq.
