Man, the PS3 doesn't get any love...

It reminds me of when I heard people say, "Sega sucks." Sony makes a great system. It's a tad expensive right now, but it looks like Sony is getting the same stigma that Sega got in the 90s. And for absolutely no reason too.

I guess it is true. If you forget history, it's bound to repeat it's self.

I hate to say it... but it's still the price tag.

Many companies have gone down this path... how the Xbox 360 is getting away with $400 on it's non-elite top end model is a little baffling, but maybe it's because people feel they get more value for the $400.

I have bought an Xbox 360 for myself (Halo 3 limited edition system), but ... I think for most people (including myself) $400 for a system is still too much. $60 per game, I won't pay it. I will wait till they are $30 and buy them. I can wait a year as I am backlogged many games as it is.

Friggin can't sleep... I fell asleep... and woke up to post this :lol

Well then let the price be the complaint. It has nothing to do with the gaming experience the PS3 can provide.

Which... was the premise of my last post :p Other than I bought a 360. Which would probably shock you all. But now you all can't call me Nintendo only. Technically... you can't anyway, I own about every system (US released system) since the NES... only missing 3 systems I believe. /derail done.

but so far, nothing really interests me on the Ps3 :D except... I WANT TO PLAY SOCOM!!!!! on a non-Sony system :) But, I will eventually buy a Ps2 (at least) so I can feed my Socom habit. Don't ask me why, but I love Socom. I have both for the PSP.

It can in the end, actually. If it doesn't sell very well compared to the 360 and Wii because of its price, it will push developers away. Not to mention, in the debate over GTAIV on 360 or PS3, 360 wins for being a few hundred cheaper. If it keep having to share good games, it's going to lose nine times out of ten.
 
360 isn't a few hundred cheaper...idk what you're talking about.

Xbox 360 Elite = $450
PS3 60 GB = $500

Also, there's a ton of developers that have actually left other companies to be solely with the PS3...that's saying something. I don't believe the price will be that big of a deal in the future.
 
But that's not a fair comparison. The most expensive 360 and the cheapest PS3?
 
It is fair though. Those two are the most comparable.

Xbox 360 Elite has a huge harddrive and an HDMI port
60 GB PS3 has alot of storage as well and HDMI port

If you have a 360 or PS3, chances are you're going to have an HDTV, which would warrant the HDMI.

umm i highly doubt that... this comparison isnt even close. a lot of people have 360s and i bet only a fraction of them have hdtv's. I know a lot of people with 360s and zero who have hdtv's

Most comparable would be the cheapest of each, since we're talking price. And $500 PS3 to $280 360 is a few hundred dollars.

That's your area. To play most games, you need a widescreen at best. Why do you think there's HD only games? Trust me, alot of people I know that have 360's have HDTV's....doesn't mean the world does, but there's a ton more people out there that have HDTV's to play their 360's on than you must think.

@fhq...once again, you're wrong. You compare the most comparable...idk what's so hard about that. Sure, if you want the $280 system (which is $220 difference...not a few hundred) with no HDMI port and non-wireless controllers, and no hard drive...fine. That's really sad though that you would compare those two. If you want to compare price, as you stated, then compare the most comparable as I said before.
 
But we're looking at the bare minimum price you have to pay to own the system, so you take the cheapest of both, and then it's the $280 and $500(which is gone now, right?).
 
:lol Nevermind, I don't know where it was stated before that we were talking about the bare minimum, but I can see it's pointless arguing the PS3 with you. Get one, then come back and we'll debate. :p
 
Well, I was talking about the exclusive games it lost(namely GTAIV), and then I pointed out in sharing, 360 wins for being cheaper. Because no matter how much closer the Elite is to the PS3, the basic 360 still plays the same games.
 
Add in $60 memory cards because you need to save the said games and you're paying $340 minimum. It can still play, but trust me, you won't be happy with just being able to play it. Everything else makes a world of difference.
 
I'd be happy just playing it. I don't need high def or surround sound to appreciate the effort and time the developers put into a game, nor the time I spend playing and enjoying it.

Well a little too much Nintendo will do that to you.

@Fr0dus....I'm not sure about that...we'll find out soon though.
 
There's plenty of things besides GTA that the two share. It's just like last gen, Nintendo's left out of half the games because they didn't put a bunch of graphics into the Wii.

@Strubes, well, what does that mean? That you have to have surround sound to appreciate a game? That if your TV isn't high def, you magically won't like the game?

for an example: Stake on PS3 seems so much smoother to control than via the 360, the controller is made for Fighters, and u dont have to deal with the indentation that u get with the 360 analogs

Ok, a couple problems.

A. Nintendo isn't missing out because of it's graphics, it's because of it's target audience (younger generation)...you say casual gamers are all ages...ok cool.

B. There's little or no comparing the PS3 or 360 to the Wii in any regard. You learn to appreciate surround sound and HDTV once you own one. :)
