If The Ps3 So Great, Why Is Sony...

[hunchbak]

HEY MODS.. Can ya'll add a BLACK SONY ZOMBIES ONLINE PLEASE "POSTING JOKES, AND TALKIN' SHIT.." So we dont have to clutter up BGOL??? because these drones are being PIMPED, and they deserve to get screamed on 24 hours a day 7 days a week for buying into Sonys garbage.

 

[Armageddon]

Simply stated...
Sony has ruled the game console industry since the PS1 and later rollout of the PS2. The PS3 is just the next evolutionary step in an arena that's already dominated by Sony. The Blu-Ray/HD-DVD war is just beginning however and from what I've read so far, Sony is winning despite the HD-DVD format coming out first.

Much more money will come Sony's way if they win the Blu-Ray vs HD-DVD format war as opposed to increasing their share in the gaming console industry. Just look @ Microsoft. They didn't make their money based on a better operating system, they made it based on the fact that they received $$$ on every computer sold that used their system!

And thats why SONY could care less about gamers... they want BLU ray to win... THATS where the moneys at!

Support the REAL GAMING systems 360/Wii

Theres no need for all that there man and the games are coming i keep stressing you all(360) had the same problem last year after launch...the post launch drought, don't forget i have a 360 sitting right here before you go acting a fool, gears was great but waaaaay too short but exciting, the only other game i've played rainbow six and that was outright fun, i played it mainly b.c of how pitiful some of the ports are that we get with oblivion being the exception, last night i got accepted into the Home beta so i'll be able to test drive that out soon.. but as far expecting the big deal with xbox live, i was really frustrated with the fact i had to ask my pal(whos a manager at eb) let me scoop one of those 3 month trial things just so i can play online.. not much of anything else on the 360 that I haven't played with a PC, spring/summer are really drought periods for gamers alike unless you "just bought a wii and are getting used to it, if you can find one"

the ps3 library is small at the current state but certainly the games are coming as far as exclusitivity...phil harrison even said the ps3 does not have the install base yet to secure major exclusives..the ps3 price will drop to about 499 and if this blu-ray rumor i'm hearing holds up more than likely cheaper than that say 399 am i satisfied with my purchase?

heck yeah, i enjoy my movies in lush hd and i don't play games all day or night so the games library is not a biggie to me because really..i knew what i was getting into before i bought the system

but i will say its pricepoint expense for those who simply cant afford or see 600 bucks as a lot of money..which it is ,luckily i saved up..but like smurf says once it hits the $300-400's , especially if the $300's its a wrap but for not i expect things to be like it is through the summer until the fall

Because you didnt sign up for live youre frustrated? You knew you needed a subscription before you started playing. Thats like me saying I tested the ps3 out yesterday and man it doesnt have rumble features, I was frustrated.

 

[Citizen Soldat]

They don't have anything worth playing until 2008 maybe.

Ninja Gaiden Sigma, Lair, Heavenly Sword, and a few more disagree with you.

But I guess hate can blind you to fun games (even though you claim you're a gamer)

*waits for hate filled reasons why those games don't count*

um..the fact i had to pay for LIVE dumb ass
after they offer a "SILVER MEMBERSHIP" which is pretty much worthless

the only thing i needed rumble for on the 360 was for those damn bezerkers other than that it was useless

and the ps3 has rumble..they are implementing it in the sixaxxis controller and the firmware update last week included the drivers to activate rumble in ps2 controllers..stop being a smartass

hey mods can you post a hate PS3 "Just because" forum because if you do the math 98.7% of the video game posts involve ps3 bashing simply for the hell of it and 360 fans claim they have some many games to play once an hour we see another ps3 bash post and the last few threads have been started by this dope^^

Isn't that ninja gaiden just a slightly different version of the two that have already been out on xbox for years?

Exactly. Sony's trying to learn from the past.

Price=Value?

So you mean to tell me that just because some Jordans cost $200, that they are worth that much? Bullshit.

I own a 360, but I am not an XBOX fanboy. The difference is, there's value in the purchase of a 360, because the GAME library is deep. Paying $600 for a game system with no games is fanboyish and stupid. If you got it Blu-ray, then you should've just got a stand alone. I personally don't care about Blu-ray or HD DVD and I ahve said it many times.

Also as I have said before, I used to be a straight up Sony fanboy, during the PS1 days. I was eagerly anticipating the PS2 at one point, I fell for the hype from Sony and believed all the bullshit they said. Then Sega announced the Dreamcast and it's specs and everything about it, just blew PS2 away, just like the Saturn blew away the PS1. Of course it didn't have the third party support and it was DOA. Sony launches PS2 and it didn't live up to the hype and had no games at launch and everyone bought it for DVD and the games it did have looked like shit. Madden and Live looked like crap, I was very happy with 2K. At that point there was nothing that Sony could offer me. So after the DC died, I patiently waited to try the XBOX, and when I got it, it was a wrap for Sony. Then came all the BS statements by Sony and all their arrogant fanboys made me hate Sony and PS2 so they get's none of my money. They all had their nose in the air talking about PS2 got more games, but most of those games were complete crap. Fast forward to today, Sony is losing exclusives left and right, they have no game releases coming up in the near future and MS continiues to give GAMERS what they want while Sony just feeds fanboy fodder with stupid statements they have no intention of backing up.

So fuck Sony! And it's fans!

You are a Microsoft fanboy. Because you just made a long ass post about some bullshit that aint serious in the least bit. Bashing sony as if you're the chairman of microsoft. Dont worry about something you have no stock in. You're obsessed doggie. Foreal. You are Obsessed with this issue.

BUT YOU knew you had to pay if your friend didnt have it already. Im just telling the truth . ps2 rumble lol come on dude . Like I said before your integrity is showing. If I know ps3 doesnt have rumble , i cant logically complain that it doesnt have rumble. You knew Live was a pay service as much as we talk about it on here so your complaint makes no sense like you was surprised you had to pay, Like M$ lied to you.

Those are great games, we'll keep reading about them till they finally come out.

 

[Duece]

I'ma have to say this, I kinda listen to the fam boys, I bought a Dreamcast back in 99 and it was dead by 2001, it wasn't nearly as expensive as these two systems here but the fanboys kinda predicted that Sony would eat it alive, and the lack of EA supporting also killed it. So basicly sometimes the fanboys are on point,

I just got a brand new 60GB PS3 for $300. I already had a 360. At $300, so far so good... I'd have serious buyer's remorse if I would've paid full price tho.

whered you get it for that price

 

[Jagi]

I have teh 360. live is really cool. achievements are really cool. but to tell you the truth the game that i'm playing the most is marvel ultimate alliance. a game that is not new and multi platform. i look up for more game rentals and pretty much its all shooters. i like shooters but enough already.


dont sleep on sony. sony is like a sleeping giant. like the original xbox, the 360 has a lot of games but how many of them really have high replay value.

Halo2? Rainbow 6 Vegas? Ghost Recon Advanced Warrior 2? Gears of War?

and i'm sure the others that you will mention are all online shooters as well...

sony, is slowly building up a nice library of different type of games. Yeah GTA is coming to 360. but its not like rockstar is really dissing sony, they just saying hey, this is a huge game, it sells out in the first week and even in pre orders, imagine how much money we can make if we made a 360 version, mo money.. hey sony if you can boost your sales we can keep exclusive, naw, not yet, ok we going to spread GTA 4 around..

but dont let this make you think rockstar is dissing sony, its all business. sony is getting the rumble, the patent lawsuit is over, sony is paying the money and rumble is in the works.

also rockstar still has ManHunt 2 as a ps3 exclusive as well as a few others.

when more and more companies as well as gamers get fed up with microsoft's money squeezing tactics for downloadable content, which sony has no probs with free things start to change.

the price for ps3's will go down when the hardware changes. more ps3's sold.. most people will have both 360 and ps3...

at the end of the day.. new original games will come out for the ps3 and you will find yourself playing ps3 more... when you want to play a shooter you will play the 360 unless sony drops some hotness for online shooter which is also in teh works.

i dont deny that the 360 is dope, but anyone that says that sony, microsoft or nintendo are dead are idiots.. all three systems will survive

wii for price and cheap games (which is why the gamboy and gameboy games are still top sellers at times more than 360 and ps3 releases) coming in second is playstation 2 game sales.. i'll say that again, playstation 2 games that sony is still supporting as opposed to the paper weight xbox original, 360, ps3/wii

end of year, cheaper hardware, cheaper price, ability to increase storage, stronger free online support, psp compatibility, new line of exclusives

sony will be back on top, dont sleep..

one last microsoft folly example.. dell is now shipping xp again and has removed vista from their builds.. microsoft just drops shit and expects you to patch for hte next 6 years..

sony builds to last, .. again look at the ps2 still going strong.. alot of cross platform games are at times selling more on the ps2 than the 360..

[dasmybikepunk]

Already have a loyal following....OWNERS AND LOVERS OF the PS2 will buy and purchase a PS3....if they haven't already they will....and therfore Sony is able to make investors a WHOLE lot of money buy not spending a BAJILLION on Advertising and constant promoting....

Truth is the PS3 is either the #1 Game console or Number #2 Console if you an XBOX fan.....

So they can't lose period...the tech driving the system will sustain it well into the next 2-3 years and with x-mas holiday promotions they will do well with the system...

Mofos are funny battling and griping over these things Sony vs. XBOX....Windows vs. MAC....

All of those companies make money BIG MONEY...Billions while people who make less than $50,000 per year spend 1% - 5% of their hard earned income to support it for entertainment...

Nuff Said..

this is something xbox fans would have posted if it was in thier favor

"We expect the dominant console at the end of the next cycle to be the PS3, primarily due to our assessment that Sony will win the high-definition DVD format war," Pachter said.

However, Pachter doesn't expect that "dominance" to be especially convincing. Through 2011, he projects that the PS3 will have sold 73.7 million units worldwide, edging out the Wii's 72.4 million systems. Pachter has the Xbox 360 finishing third among the consoles with 54 million sold

Promoting NOTHING but the blu ray disk, and not games or the PS3!!??!!??

Just go to 1up.com and see for yourself.... look at the adds for "free blu ray disk player".... WHY NOT FREE PS3??? Why?? because they dont give a shit about the PS3... For months they've just been promoting blu ray but not the PS3 or the games... just Blu ray. and thats because Sony knows they will make way more in the new format (blu ray)... I for one aint falling for the okey-doke... I'm going to cop a HD DVD player asap!

YOU'RE DUMB. THEY ARE PROMOTING BLU RAY BC IT'S A COMPETING TECHNOLOGY AND THEY DONT WANT TO LOOSE MILLIONS IN SALES TO OTHER HIGH-CAPACITY TECHNOLOGIES....

IF YOU NEED A MARKETING CAMPAIGN FOR GAMES, GO BE A POSER SOMEWHERE ELSE... HERE ON BGOL IF THERES A DOPE GAME, YOU KNOW ABOUT IT BC YOU GOT YA EAR TO THE BEAT....THE STREET...OR SOMETHING...

Let me settle this debate once and for all. The 360 is not better than the PS3, and the PS3 is not better than the 360. I have both systems. I was going to sll my 360 then realised that there ars no soccer games out for the PS3 (dumb move), and I need my daily dose of online fifa 07 where I am ranked in the top 50 worldwide. Once more games come out for the ps3, by october I am giving away the 360 to the first person that asks for it. So please stop this bulls shit. Which is better is all based on what you need. If you like watching movies in HD, and can wait for the great titles that are coming out (GTA,SOCOM ELITE,FIFA08) Then ps3 may be for you. On the other hand if you buy a lot of games,dont have a HDTV,360 may be you. It all depends "ON YOU"

Yeah those games make it really worth it. fanboys, I tell you.

By that time Mass Effect will be out and Bioshock. Plus Forza 2 and some other good games for 360, you won't have time to play Fifa 57. GTA is on 360 also from day one, so why you need a PoS3?
