You know what this site needs? Some videos and gifs of people flailing around like jackasses with Sony’s wii-to-glowing-rave-ball Move controller.
At least that would be better than the boring gray and brown shooter (now in gray and brown 3D!) that is Killzone 3.
You know, it’s not like Sony didn’t jump on the motion control bandwagon as well. They just blatently copied something Nintendo did 4 years ago, while at least Microsoft is taking it in a different direction, for better or for worse.
Did anyone notice during Gabe Newells Sony Press Conference, that he not only mentioned that Portal 2 is coming to the PS3, but it will have Steam support alongside Steam Cloud support as well?
I couldn’t find a stream that didn’t suck ass, so I only got to follow it using engadget’s live rss feed. I assumed it was going to be available on Steam considering its a sequel to an incredibly popular PC game, and Valve I think is adding Steam Cloud support to all their games.
Whine whine whine, I see some faggario up there saying that Sony is just jumping on Nintendo’s junk?
Are you retarded? Do you know what the Eye Toy was and is?
IT’S SOMETHING THAT CAME OUT BEFORE THE GAYTAL!
It’s Sony’s response to the Natal, been there…done that.
BURN!
@ erik: really? microsoft is taking motion gaming into a new direction? That vid brought back some memories playing eyetoy on my ps2. they not only copied the eyetoy but they even borrowed the name from eyetoy kinetic.
I heared you can only play games and control your xbox while standing? Even eyetoy supported seated playing back in the days. So have fun watching your dvds (not bluerays) standing.
Interesting. That looks like two people having fun. Some of you probably haven’t seen that in a while so you don’t know what it looks like.
Damn… was looking to maybe get a few laughs after E3, but I can see this site is as dead as erik’s love life. There hasn’t been anything funny in ages.
I guess erik got tired of coming up with creative posts.
It’s HILARIOUS to see you claim over and over that the site is biased!!! That’s like going to a clan meeting and complaining to everyone that they’re racist!!! WELL NO SHIT! NOW GET A LIFE!
BUT, I get some satisfaction knowing you have a terrible job, and probably a terrible life. Someone like you deserves it, it’s obvious you don’t deserve more.
Someone who spends years of his life complaining, bitching and moaning about game systems deserves the kind of life I’m sure you have.
I bet you complain about the PS3 more than you even play your 360. Have fun at work.
@Stickemup
“I bet you complain about the PS3 more than you even play your 360.”
That wouldn’t be a tremendous feat. Like I said before, my hatred of the PS3 does not arise from liking the 360 as in the case of general fanboys. But rather my hatred of the PS3 stems from my hatred of the PS3. To word this another way: Screw the 360. Playing the 360 is a moot secondary activity when compared to hating on the PS3.
As as far as everything else you said I can surmise that your issue with me still boils down to me not gobbling Sony’s nob.
Is it actually possible that perhaps someone might genuinely hate the PS3 and not just be lying in order to troll in your point of view?
Also: Uncharted still sucks. As does MGS4. And I do distinctly remember you trying to hound me to say something positive about MGS4 for some reason I’ve never been able to figure out.
I do still find it amusing that after I bought my PS3 how friendly you tried to treat me. I still find that hilarious. I’ve not been able to figure out what purpose you had in mind for that either.
Why did that change? Pissed off that Sony’s brain washing didn’t force me onto your side?
Furthermore, I would rather have the life of someone who spends years bitching about a console than the life of someone who plays the PS3. The second is so very embarrassing that I wouldn’t be able to forgive myself.
And another thing, why don’t you come down on people who spent years of their life coming here and speaking positively about the PS3? Isn’t that just as bad?
Why would anyone come down on someone for speaking positively about a great console?
I have a lot of fun playing PS3 in my spare time, does that frustrate you, erik?
Poor thing. So much irrational hatred for no reason of a system so many people enjoy.
It’s not a matter of life and death, kid. Lighten up.
I see no difference between the two. If coming here for years and talking shit about the PS3 is pathetic, then all of you who come here and speak positively about it for years are just as pathetic.
As far as it being a great console: HA. Maybe one day I’ll get some enjoyment out of it by taking it out to the woods and filling it full of explosives or something.
Also, I have rationalized my hatred many many times. What would be irrational is if I ignored the price, blu-ray, built in wifi, standard hard drive, and all of the other shit and say “Der der, it is a good system, because… well I can’t think of a reason. But it is good just because”
THAT would be irrational. Explain to me why I would be so irrational as to actually like the PS3?
@Stickemup
And I forgot to mention that Little Big Planet also sucks. Its sequel will suck.
Erik vs. The World, Round….10? Must be lonely up on that pedestal.
It must smell down there in that pit.
Will you suddenly start hating your 360 and want to blow it up if it gets a blu-ray addon, erik?
They’re almost identical consoles now with the new version besides media format, interface and controller.
The PS3 doesn’t have a “blu-ray addon”. The thing is a blu-ray nightmare and nothing but.
At least I have friends…..and chicken.
I hear you shortbussers are a rather tight knit group. But if having friends means being like you then I would rather not have friends.
I just have nothing more to say to eriK, though actually awaiting his response. I am actually on the same page as tendonut, I mainly come on here to see what more BS eriK has to say about a great system. Though, I also do come on here to see the new stories SDF fabricates, but, we all know there is always a bit of truth (I use truth VERY lightly) behind all their stories. And I do laugh at the site
I have had my PS3 since December of 07, and couldn’t be happier. Have even personally taken it completely apart to dust, and still running strong to this day. And I am also a person who leaves my computers and console on most days out of the week. It’s just the overall experience I get out out of the system that makes me glad of my purchase.
When I had the money, I was going to build a new computer, no hold bar on money, and buy a Wii, just to have a console that I knew I would enjoy, and just to have something different. Or, buy a PS3, knowing that HOPEFULLY more FPSs would allow Mouse/Keyboard support, and buy a laptop (wanted to focus more on school). The 360 wasn’t even an option, partly because of the failure rate at the time. But really most of all, the experience I knew I would get from a console that has built-in Wi-Fi, no charge for online gaming, web browsing, the PS store with it’s exclusives that would even be possible because of the Megabyte limit of Live (and it’s locked down status because of Microsoft who wants to control everything), a BD-Live capable Blu-Ray player, PS and PS2 backward compatibility, Mouse and Keyboard support, it’s exclusives, 1080p gaming, and seriously the media card slots on the system. It just seemed like a complete entertainment package.
When I got my PS3 home that day, I knew I could get online Day 1, no extra money for an online service, no extra add-ons to connect to my wireless router, and felt like I had a strong system that I would not have to worry about dying on me. Plus, I knew since I had given up PC gaming (big mistake, but will make the transition again once I can build a rig)that I could hook up a keyboard and mouse and play Unreal Tournament 3 the way it was meant to be played.
So, be happy with your 360 eriK, and leave your PS3 on the backboard. You are happy with your system and that is good. It gets you where you need to go. But, my PS3 gets me where I need to go, so why can’t you respect that? If you respected anyone that had a PS3, you would say, “I am glad you are happy gaming on the PS3, I am happy with gaming on my 360, and we both have our reasons.” But, no. Still to this day, you call it a pile of shit, and call it’s exclusives shit. So, millions of people must be wrong for buying and liking the PS3 and it’s games, right?
I say good day to you eriK, I have to get ready for work now.
Oh for fucks sake. This jackass. Okay, here we go.
@telzon
“I mainly come on here to see what more BS eriK has to say about a great system. ”
A great system. Uh-huh. Now go better go scamper off to your second job. Don’t forget if you bite down on something it makes it easier when Kaz penetrates you.
“But really most of all, the experience I knew I would get from a console that has built-in Wi-Fi”
You mean a system that doesn’t give you the option of NOT having wi-fi. Yeah Microsoft has fallen into this trap now. But my 360, if for some ugodly reason I would want to, I can buy a wi-fi adapter. With my dust collector called the PS3 I never got that option. It was just piled up on there with the other mound of turds that makes the quite expensive mile high pile of turds.
“no charge for online gaming”
Lets see how much longer that lasts. *COUGHPLAYSTATIONPREMIUMCOUGH*
“the PS store with it’s exclusives that would even be possible because of the Megabyte limit of Live ”
Proof please. You would be surprised of the benefits that a paid service can bring. Well I imagine that eventually you will figure that out.
“a BD-Live capable Blu-Ray player”
There are other blu-ray players out there you know. And now they are much much cheaper. Making the purchase of a PS3 utterly pointless now.
“PS and PS2 backward compatibility”
Wrong. They got rid of that LONG ago.
“Mouse and Keyboard support,”
Wow, more useless crap that people got roped into paying for. Now I can plug a mouse into my PS3 for some ungodly reason and watch it get dusty along with the system. What a fun waste of money!
“it’s exclusives”
Yeah, its exclusives. Like Uncharted 2, Demon’s Souls, and Killzone 2. Color me unimpressed. 0/10 the lot of them.
“1080p gaming”
The difference between that and the 360 is what now?
“and seriously the media card slots on the system. It just seemed like a complete entertainment package. ”
Fuck you, and fuck your “complete entertainment package”. I don’t fucking want a fucking “complete entertainment package”. I want a motherfucking game console. The asinine ridiculous amount of money that I spent on that asinine ridiculous “complete entertainment system” is one of the biggest fuck ups I’ve ever made.
“When I got my PS3 home that day, I knew I could get online Day 1, no extra money for an online service, no extra add-ons to connect to my wireless router, and felt like I had a strong system that I would not have to worry about dying on me.”
Shall I harp on more about your free service going bye-bye? Even donut boy can see it. Other than that the only thing I can say is I damn well HOPE my PS3 dies on me.
“So, be happy with your 360 eriK, and leave your PS3 on the backboard. You are happy with your system and that is good. It gets you where you need to go. But, my PS3 gets me where I need to go, so why can’t you respect that?”
How about this. Fuck you, fuck your PS3, fuck my PS3, and fuck sony. Clear enough for you?
“If you respected anyone that had a PS3, you would say, “I am glad you are happy gaming on the PS3, I am happy with gaming on my 360, and we both have our reasons.”
Yes, if I respected anyone that had a PS3 I WOULD say that. But here is a little nugget of knowledge for you: I don’t. I don’t respect you or any other PS3 owner. Is that clear enough for you?
“But, no. Still to this day, you call it a pile of shit, and call it’s exclusives shit.”
To this day, yes I do. Tomorrow, likely the same thing. The day after that also more than likely. So on and so on.
“So, millions of people must be wrong for buying and liking the PS3 and it’s games, right?”
Correct
“I say good day to you eriK,”
Screw you.
Telzon is still the “LAWL, lets all get along and sing and dance together like tards” I see. Sickening sickening sickening.
people are still saying it’s wii ripoff when the motion controller has been patented by sony in 2004?
i suggest some of you google “sony has its own magic wand in the works”, follow the first link, and educate yourself.
I return after several months, I return to see that SDF is just as desperate as ever. Nintendo owned E3, with Sony coming in dead last. Looks like SDF has rab out of spin. Thy aren’t even trying anymore…
Hey there everyone, I’m back. Flew north for my brothers grad. Missed out on some Erik lulz. What would he do if Telzon didn’t post here? He wouldn’t be able to troll a troll and I’d have nothing to list.
I wonder if Erik will smash and burn his 360 now that Microsoft started adding Wi-Fi to new systems. It kind of goes along with his character. Illogical and doesn’t effect him whatsoever but GOD DAMNIT is he mad.
@Tendonut
Yes, Microsoft has been losing points with me recently with the usb flash drive update as well as the shit version of the system coming out with wifi. The fact that it doesn’t effect me is irrelevant. It’s existence is enough to despise it.
As far as smashing my 360 goes, I’m not sure yet. But as I have stated a few times in the past, my hate for the PS3 doesn’t stem from my liking of the 360. My hate for the PS3 stems from my hate of the PS3. If I thought it would work and was the only option I would gladly use my 360 as a blunt instrument to smash my PS3 to dust.
Besides, even if I did ignore things that “don’t effect me” such as wi-fi, I still couldn’t think of anything positive to say about it. Is that really any better though?
To give an example of this lets go with Uncharted 2. Now there are lots of stuff in that game that made me loathe it. But lets say by some divine intervention I somehow completely forget everything about the game that I hate about it. Should I really and honestly go out and buy a game just because I can’t think of anything disparaging to say about it? I’m not sure about you, but my purchases are a bit more discriminating than that. I have to actually, you know, like a game.
So okay, I’ll ignore the wifi if that’s what you wish as long as you realize that it won’t change anything.
And speaking of Uncharted 2, what exactly do you people want me to say about it? So whenever I say that the game is a 0/10 you all flip the hell out, thus saying that I’m not allowed to have my opinion of it. So if that’s the case then what am I supposed to say about it for it to have a higher score?
So go on, tell me why I like Uncharted 2.
“a troll is someone who posts inflammatory, extraneous, or off-topic messages in an online community, such as an online discussion forum, chat room, or blog, with the primary intent of provoking other users into a desired emotional response”
Like a glove.
Indeed, it does sound like you.
Oh, and since you constantly and constantly harp on this troll shit, you are grounded. Like I’ve said before, I don’t need people to post here, as this is not trolling. And I definitely don’t need YOU to post here. But if you do post here regardless I will respond to you, or rather would have responded to you. But since you don’t see this and continue to harp and harp on this troll bullshit you shall not get a response from me for a month after this one.
Was this the desired emotional response you were going for?
Hating M$haft like I do, I really couldn’t be happier about this latest travesty they have on their hands.
HAPPY DAYS!!!
Exactly.
@erik and GT5
Your hate for inanimate objects that have no impact on the grand scheme of things is not only stupid, but also pathetic.
My advice to you two; Get a fucking life.
I’ve heard M$haft called many names, but never an inanimate object. …I like it.
And you can rest assured I’ll get a life. Thank you.
@InfaredChimera
Your like for inanimate objects that have no impact on the grand scheme of things is not only stupid, but also pathetic.
It cuts both ways.
Also, it amuses me when people spell Microsoft with a $ symbol. Seeing how it was $ony who sold a Six fucking hundred game system.
Now that I think about it though, calling it a game system is giving it far too much credit. Maybe I should start referring to it as an entertainment parasite.
The PS3 has always been the best system money can buy. Whether you’re one of the lucky ones who paid $600, or one of the extremely lucky ones who paid only $300 (daylight robbery).
All Hail Sony!
I was one of the ones who was robbed for $400.
Fuck Sony!
Mind you, I would feel robbed even if I had paid $.01 for this travesty of a system.
“..,someone who posts inflammatory, extraneous, or off-topic messages in an online community, such as an online discussion forum, chat room, or blog, with the primary intent of provoking other users into a desired emotional response”
I do still feel really terrible about trading in my Wii to get my travesty PS3 entertainment parasite. Sure, none of the actual Wii games themselves were really that interesting. But the virtual console was a load of fun. And a fancy emulator is still head and shoulders above my PS3 which I have found exactly ZERO uses for other than a dust magnet.
Why don’t you tell us what is so bad about Uncharted 2 that warrants a 0/10 rating, erik?
The fact that I can think of nothing good to say about it. There is not a single facet of the game that I find redeemable.
Chloe’s ass?
…or is he your typical xbot (GAY)?
I think gay is covered by the asinine romantic subplot between Drake and Flynn.
But it was one of the most tedious and boring things I have ever rented. Though that is a feat in itself as I thought nothing could have been more boring and tedious than the original game.
But the eye rolling romance between those two 2-dimensional queers was not totally unexpected. It is obvious that Sony is trying to cater to the alternative lifestyle of a majority of the PS3 fanbase. I mean just look at Cole in InFamous 2. Now that his girlfriend is dead he is free to experiment with that fat Elvis impersonator who wears the knee pads.
Pleased you brought up inFamous, and spelled it right with a capital F an everything… You obviously enjoyed it, what was your favourite bit?
I liked the bit on the box where it says “only on PS3 and not teh 3$hitty”.
Yes, I own InFamous. My favorite part is the button on the right edge of the POS3 that turns the wretched game off.
Though I have to say I am also pleased by the fact that it isn’t on the 360 as well. I wouldn’t want that sort of pollution swimming around in it’s library.
LOL NICE
ima add you. You play Killzone 2?
I rented Killzone 2 at one time. Ugh, that game was painful on the eyes. But it “made up” for that with bland and forgettable characters.
haha do Heavy Rain next.
I only played the demo of Heavy Rain. I preferred it when it was at the arcade and was called Dragon’s Lair.
meh… okay I guess.
God of War 3?
I played the demo of God of War 3… on a fucking movie Blu-Ray disc that I rented. What the fuck kind of shit is that? Anyone who says that the PS3 wasn’t a sad and pathetic attempt at Sony controlling the format wars and using the PS3 as a Trojan Horse is a fucking retard.
Also: I preferred the first two God of War games.
“sad and pathetic attempt at Sony controlling the format wars” … “Blu-Ray disc that I rented”.
Keep supporting blu-ray!
Demon’s Souls?
A half-assed and unfinished game for masochists and 133+ kiddies looking for “hardcore gamer cred yo”.
Too difficult huh? …never mind. So we’ve established you spend a lot of quality time with PS3, and who could blame ya? Okay, one more then I gotta go (this would’ve been so much quicker if we were talking 3$hitty sclusives).
GT5P?
…be very VERY careful!
We’ve established that I’ve tried a lot of shit games that the knuckle dragging alternative life-stylers here have “suggested” and that I’ve hated ever single one of them. So did you have a point?
As far as Gran Turismo, I haven’t really played any racing games since the original F-Zero. Even if i did I would probably play Forza 3 anyways.
lol forza. It’s good to finish with a laugh.
kthxbye
Yes Forza. From everything that SDF has posted Forza really does look to be the superior game. Seeing as the only way that SDF can defend against it is via fake and doctored screenshots.
If that is the case then Gran Turismo 5 must really suck!
Did you have a point in this line of questioning except bringing up a bunch of PS3 games that suck? No? Okay bye then. Don’t let the door hit you in the knuckles on your way out.
@eriK
“PS and PS2 backward compatibility”
Wrong. They got rid of that LONG ago.
Umm, that is the great thing about having a First Edition 80GB. While yes, haven’t played any PS2 games, but have PS games. It just feels nice to know I have that option.
I have a PS2, so I don’t really need that option. My PS2 gets at least once a week usage. My PS3 on the other hand, I’ve not turned it on in months. Sony can make a good system. Sony can make a GREAT system. They just chose not to.
Also, in case you try to get into that friendly stuff again: Screw you.
I like how erik doesn’t come up with a single valid flaw.
“It sucks 0/10 cause I said so hurr durr”
You are a comedy goldmine sir.
@ohwow
Its obvious you aren’t paying attention. But with how you let Kaz bend you over and fuck you in the ass it isn’t a massive surprise.
It is 0/10 because I can’t come up with a single valid strength to the game. There is completely and absolutely nothing positive I can say about it. The game is the flaw.
Sure is cop out in here.
You haven’t played it. It’s okay, you can admit it.
Perhaps you could describe the flaws instead of beating around the bush giving really vague answers to hide the fact you’ve never played it?
Or is the really minor romance subplot all you’re going to mention?
Cop out? Its not a cop out. You just weren’t paying attention. Come to grips with that and move on.
And I have played that masterpiece of failure. But you want to know the flaws? Okay.
Graphics, Controls, Characters, dialogue, plot, gameplay, and the fact that is it on the PS3. Happy?
Do you think you are going to convince me that I liked it? I think not.
It was never my objective to convince you why you should like it.
I just asked for valid, detailed flaws on why it’s a 0/10.
Which I still have not received.
But why should I expect anything else when you label graphics as a flaw. Deary me you really do try too hard.
And I have told you again and again and again and again and again.
THERE. IS. NOTHING. POSITIVE. I. CAN. SAY. ABOUT. THE. GAME.
What score would YOU give game you have nothing good to say about it.? A game that in no way, at any point, in any manner, not even for a second, entertained you AT ALL. A game that was like getting your teeth drilled from the time the little power light on the PS3 turned on and didn’t stop until that light went out. What would YOU label a game like that?
0/10 That is my final answer. Now lets add up the score from every single PS3 game and come up with an average score. Hm, what a coincidence, still 0/10. How about that? It’s pretty surprising. Well maybe not, I mean scores really can’t go any lower than 0/10 right. But who knows, with the Failtanic that is the PS3 we just might see the world’s first -1/10 game.
Now if you excuse me, I’m going to go to the desert and dig up some ET cartridges and replace them with Uncharted 2 discs.
Still no detailed flaws listed.
Dum de dum.
You must be grotesquely retarded eh?
Answer the question: Something you have nothing good to say about, what would you rank it as? Still no detailed positives = 0/10
Have your special ed teacher explain this to you.
Do you wish me to say “Der de der, Uncharted 2 is a 10/10 because…. well I don’t have anything good to say about it. So it was good… because!”
lol This guy is a riot!
List your 5 favourite games. I wanna understand what’s going on in there. And don’t be nasty, I’m considering helping you.
Five favorite games. That is a challenge.
Lets see
Secret of Mana
Half-Life
Metal Gear Solid
Castlevania SOTN
Chrono-Trigger
That is one god awful list. You really expect me to help you now?
I’m sorry, not high-defy enough for you. Here let me make you a pretend list to make you feel better
Uncharted
Uncharted 2
Uncharted Drake and Flynn’s Honeymoon
Heavy QTE
PS3 Network Setup disc
Well you got your top 2 correct. A good start. Come see me again tomorrow.
Let me guess, all of your favorite games have come out within 2 years right? I’m seeing Uncharted, maybe some Modern Warfare tossed in?
@GT5
As much as a tool I think Erik might be, he does have good taste in the classics and too call his top 5 games “awful”, is just being a fucking idiot.
As much I enjoyed Uncharted 1 and 2, those games will never touch the same level of quality and memories those games on his list have evoked from countless gamers over the last 15-20 years.
Hell the only game that (possibly) touch that same level of quality in my opinion is BioShock.
Bioshock. That reminds me of a train of thought I was having earlier. As much as Bioshock 2 didn’t, suck, it mostly came off as a really well designed fan mod. Everything felt way too comfortable. I’ve come to the conclusion that not enough time, in universe-wise, had passed between the two games.
If there is another game I think it should take place modern day. Perhaps something like some desperate splicers figure out how to move the entire city, or a great deal of it and they crash into NYC. That could be a new twist.
I’m just messing with it. Give it a poke and let it entertain you.
Im with InfraredChimera in that erik DOES have some really good tastes in games and it appears like he is totally normal. I could almost copy/paste his list, but replace Zelda: Link to the Past with Secret of Mana (I never got to play it) and I don’t think anything on the PS3 could ever make it on my top 5 list anyway…but then you have that unnatural hatred for anything PS3, despite how good the games are to the other millions of video game fans. But he likes to be different, like only liking bands no one ever heard of, then trash talking mainstream ones just because.
I bet its favourite song is “Under the bridge – Chili Peppers”.
Actually my favorite song is Crazy Train with the late Randy Rhodes on guitar.
@erik
Randy Rhodes was the shit.
So I got my chuckles for the day. On top of Cole’s “fabulous” new clothes for InFamous 2 it seems that he has gone through a reverse puberty and gained a voice to match.
But I see I forgot to supply the context:
http://kotaku.com/5578741/new-infamous-2-gameplay-is-over-over-the-top
Happy Traitors’ Day, traitors.
lol @ Cole’s heartbroken fans. “We loved you just the way you were!” *tears*
Have I won?
You purchased a PS3, so no you have not won. You failed, all of us who were suckered into buying that sub-Phillips-CDi level system failed.
Wrong, I’ve purchased two PS3s. I have won!
With my prize money I’m going to purchase a third PS3 and have it displayed in a glass cabinet.
Wow the SDF had a real run of E3 FUD diarrhea!
Sony got their asses handed to them so badly that SDF went into full panic mode, and rolled out more damage control in days than they have in an entire year.
Nintendo and Microsoft have the SDF scared shitless!
And it will probably stay quiet for a few more months besides the typical back and forth between me and erik
@GT5
Sorry, it doesn’t work that way. Two failures do not make a win. It just means that you failed twice as hard as the rest of us assholes.
Failed twice as hard Like A Fox!
I’m starting to grasp the root of your whine; You only have one PS3
I’m sure you often wonder how awesome it would be to own two or more. Well I’m here to tell you it’s super awesome! …Go for it, erik. Start living the dream.
WORLD CUP FINAL, BABY!!!!!!!
I think I would prefer to own 20 Virtual boys then 2, or even 1 P$3.
Besides, I can not play two P$3s for months at a time just as easily as I can not play my one P$3 for months at a time. My only hope is that by keeping it off for so long that it will somehow get damaged and when I try to turn it on that it won’t.
I would prefer to own 20 cancerous testicles rather thAn 1 3$hitty.
Unfortunately you don’t own 1 testicle, cancerous or non. But I love my 360, well not as much as I used to with Microsoft making some key mistakes lately. But it came out at a good release price, has a great library, and (up until recently, hence the mistakes) allowed the user to decide if they want a HDD or WiFi.
Both the 360 and the Wii came out at good prices, why didn’t the PS3?
Because it was an improvement on last gen. Why wasn’t the 3$hitty?
…got no beef with the Wii. Let the kidz have their fun.
Many consoles have been an improvement on the previous gen, including the 360. But none of them have come out at such a stupid price. By your insipid logic that means the P$3 was the only console ever to improve on the prior gen.
The PS2 was an improvement on the PS1, why didn’t it come out at a retarded price?
For entertainment’s purposes;
Launch PS3 = $500
Launch 3$hitty = $400 + 5 year’s xboxlag = $650 and rising.
Not to mention charge kits, WiFi, HDDVD and numerous replacement 3$hitties. Have I won again?
GT5, anytime you add optional, or incidental items to a list like yours it’s instant fail. Also, to “win again” denotes that you won beforehand.
As for your comment about the Wii being for kids, keep in mind that a Sony higher up compared it to a lollipop, stating that he was too old for lollipops, yet here we are 2010, with Sony brandishing a Wiimote wannabee that looks quite a bit like a lollipop, right down to the colorful candy-like ball.
Hello Slimdefect. Help me out…
Eric reminded me how much I’ve saved by choosing PS3 instead of 3$hitty, so I’m gonna treat mysel to the new PS3D gaming era. Should I get Sony’s new 3D Bravia, or two of them?
Incidentally, what’s wrong with the slim 3$hitty? I heard they stamped out the RROD by not including red LEDs (genius!). Did they overlook disc scratching, E74, video output failure, “please insert disc into a 3$hitty” & Co?
Eric, you can answer my question if Slimdefect is on hold to M$haft support.
Why should I call MS? My Wii, PS2 and PC are all working just fine.
As for your want to be an early adopter to technology that won’t be standard for at least five years, an upwards of over a thousand bucks for just a television hardly sounds like “treating” oneself.
Awww… look at the little Wiier typing like a big boy. Get the camera, mommy.
When you’re all growed up, you’ll understand that Sony and her fans don’t wait until things become “standard”. It’s what makes us awesome.

To answer your question: If you think that you’ve saved any money by buying the overpriced and useless plastic lump known as the P$3 I have only one suggestion – Kill yourself. You are fatally retarded to a level which neither you nor the world will be able to sustain your life.
Let me remind you. The P$3′s release price was six fucking hundred dollars BEFORE tax. To say that one of the most expensive system ever released was a money saver proves that you are so retarded that if there is ANY truth whatsoever do Darwin’s theory that your death is imminent.
“When you’re all growed up, you’ll understand that Sony and her fans don’t wait until things become “standard”. It’s what makes us awesome.”
Chug-chug-chug. Whats that sound? Oh yeah, that’s the slow assed prototype alpha series blu-ray drive that they shoved into the PS3. I’m glad that Microsoft stuck with DVD-9 until such time that blu-ray technology can be perfected.
As far as how many TVs should you get to Sony yet again adopting a technology WAAAAAAAY too early in order to Trojan horse their other products into your home: How many cocks can you get into your body at one time. That is your answer.
And as far as disc scratching goes- Anyone who starts shaking their system around while it is on not only deserves to have that disc scratched, but they should have someone break into their house, scratch every disc they own (games, movies, cds) then punch the person in the face.
“When you’re all growed up, you’ll understand that Sony and her fans don’t wait until things become “standard”. It’s what makes us awesome.”
Actually Sony did wait for motion controls to become standard. Move will never be taken seriously, not after all the trash talking about how motion controls are “kiddy”.
The saying “If you can’t beat them, join them”, doesn’t work as well when all you’ve done up to that point is trash talk the people you can’t beat.
1:1 motion controls for the Wii costs $20.00 per each remote you already own. Motion+ is even thrown in for free with some titles.
1:1 motion controls for the PS3? Well first you have to buy the PS3′s camera, then a Wiimote+Nunchuk combo wannabe which cost about twice as much as a Wiimote+Nunchuk do(Even more so if you’re using Nyko’s excellent and cheaper Wiimotes), so never mind trying to compare prices vs multiple remote combos.
all your mind are belong to me
My argument is hair, your bird is an invalid.
Once again Sony is late to the party with 3D. Nintendo did it 20-25 years ago with the NES with titles such as Rad Racer and 3D World Runner.
Hell even Sega jumped in on the action with 3D glasses for the the Master System.
Not only is Sony late to the party, they’re the turd in the punchbowl!
@slimdefect
Ehhh, Sony may do some cool things with Move, but it will never be more than just a gimmick, like the Eyetoy was for the PS2. At least Nintendo forced the use of the Wiimote, so people had to make sure it worked as a primary controller first and foremost.
Yup! And devs are already screwing up Move support!
They’re porting Dead Space: Extraction to the PS3 as a freebie for the PS3 version of Dead Space 2. And get this, the IR aiming provided by Move is OPTIONAL for that game. HELLO?! The game was built around IR aiming! It also doesn’t bode well for Move that its getting hand-me-downs of Wii games. Something Sony swore was not going to happen!
Anyone know what so-called award SDF won for thier tagline of “Reporting award winning, unbiased video game news since 2006″
I’m not so sure ElPresador’s shit stained underpants count as an award.
