Anyone with a PS3?
« on: March 07, 2007, 05:02:18 AM »
Anyone here have a PS3?  I have one but not because I'm a Playstation fan (I'm not really) but because I'm using it to capture HD gameplay footage to sell to various sites :)  My wife wasn't too pleased about me keeping it (since there wasn't any good games out for it) but now with MotorStorm released (YES!) she is starting to warm up to it.

I don't own a Neo Geo AES, therefore I don't own a PS3 :D .

I don't own any game system by Sony anymore. My thoughts on the PS3 were that it will last,but not because of quality titles,only because Sony will be so stubborn they will keep it going like they did Betamax for a few years until they can try a new system release. As it is right now the hardware in the PS 3 is not mind blowing or anything compared to a gaming computer I can build for the same price.

One day I may purchase a XBox 360,but not till the problems get worked out more and more games I would actually play get released. As is I am happy with the Wii,Gamecube titles I own,and gaming on PC when I need a 3d game fix.

I'll get a PS3, when a heaping pile of great games are on it.  AND when it drops in price significantly!

Not yet any ways hell i'm still debateing if i want one.I mean the 360 seems like a better deal to me then the PS3 at this point.It also has plenty of games right now... plus the live arcade stuff as well.Not to mention the 360 even is gonna get, VF5 later this year.Still if i did get a PS3 i'd probably wait for the price drop.The other reason 'that it is gonna get MGS4 even while fans ask... for a 360 release konami still won't give in  :evil:

As for the next gen having a Wii right now is enough for me.

Beside i'm in "no rush plus i need to finsh collecting for my older systems still.

If Heavenly Sword turns out really well I'll probably want one, but realistically it'll be a long time before I can justify spending that much money on a game system.

I really, really want a PS3 (for Motorstorm and Burnout 5!!), but I can't afford one, and I just got a new PC so my hd-gaming needs are somewhat satisfied already.

Also: Burnout Dominator just got released for PSP and PS2, so my Burnout needs are also satisfied for now. :wink:

Seconded. the neo geo has more games that interest me than I think the ps3 ever will. and the prices are comprable.

I have a 60GB PS3, and I really like it. Online has been perfect so far in Resistance and Motorstorm. It's very easy to navigate around, and the system never freezes up (so far) like my 360 does (I'm on my 2nd 360.)

Motorstorm and VF5 are amazing. Tekken: Dark Resurrection just came out as a download for $20 and it's awesome. MKII Arcade is coming out soon as well, for supposedly $5. I've even been playing Q*Bert a lot over the last few days. I used to LOVE that game.

I honestly am playing my PS3 more than the 360 at the moment, mainly because of Motorstorm. I also really do like the backward compatibility with the PS1 and PS2. I've only had an issue with one PS2 game, where the music won't play.

Just like the 360, there are definitely some issues that need to be ironed out, like the fact that it won't scale to the resolution that you need to run. If a game is setup for 720p only, it scales to 480p instead of 1080i, which is all my TV will support. They have a hardware scaler, so now they just need to start using the damned thing.

Also, they need background downloading. Our concerns about not being able to find your friends while you're in a game is obviously being taken care of with "Home."

Not paying $60 for the privilege of using an online service is nice as well, especially since I get less lag over it when compared to Live.

Don't many/most of the games go for hundreds of dollars though?

He's probably talking about the Neo Geo arcade cartridges that can be played on the Neo Geo Home system with an adapter.  THose games are a lot cheaper than the original home cartridges.
Let the old mix with the new.

this just reminds me, i was at woolworths today and they had an end of an isle dedicated to ps3 boxes with the console's release date and preorder, for some strange reason this managed to attract quite a few passers by who stood in front of the diplay, just mesmerised by the empty ps3 display boxes on the shelf.  It gives me this feeling that despite its flaws the ps3 will still win in Europe.
