SpyD Posted May 9, 2006 Share Posted May 9, 2006 Those fuckers at Sony are on some bullshit. 499 for the core and 599 for the premium(aka the real ps3) WEAK AS FUCK. Joystiq has alot of news on it from E3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
poes Posted May 9, 2006 Share Posted May 9, 2006 Isnt that pretty much the same as what the xbox 360 cost? So not too surprising. microsoft should drop there price big time before the ps3 drops or else they are stupid Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SpyD Posted May 9, 2006 Author Share Posted May 9, 2006 xbox 360 is $299 for the core and $399 for the premium. meaning that the PS3 premium is $200 MORE than the xbox 360's, and by then Microsoft will be gearing up for a price drop which will make that gap even wider. I bet games for this shit will be around $70-80, seeing as they are all on Blu-Ray discs. You could get the XBox 360 AND the Nintendo Wii for the price of the ps3.....

poes Posted May 9, 2006 Share Posted May 9, 2006 yeh the 2 consoles are closer in price over in England... Big up to Sony on their innovative and 100% original idea of putting motion sensor in the controller... I think I would only get the PS3 to play pro evolution. And the Wii for Zelda. And xbox for burn out. Still, if my memory is correct, the N64 was £360 when it dropped. THen immediately dropped and i picked mine up for about £130 about a year after that. But then again, Im sure sony will have no problem at all selling them at $600. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Internerd Posted May 9, 2006 Share Posted May 9, 2006 The fuck is that shit? Xbox has always been better. PS2 graphics suck. The only good thing is the games. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

RumPuncher Posted May 9, 2006 Share Posted May 9, 2006 The fuck is that shit? Xbox has always been better. PS2 graphics suck. The only good thing is the games. I'd rather be playing a turbografx-16 or a supernintendo if the games are fun. That's why the nintendo gamecube actually sold consoles, because they make fun games. If all you care about is graphics, then go play on a PC, but I'd rather have fun games than pretty games. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Wreck.One Posted May 9, 2006 Share Posted May 9, 2006 I think the bottom line is that it is just too expensive.. when will this all reach its breaking point, when will consumers just say fuck it and stop buying expensive game systems.

Internerd Posted May 9, 2006 Share Posted May 9, 2006 I don't care about any of it really I mean PS2 has a more variety in games, this does not mean they are all good Xbox has some dope games which PS2 also has but the graphics on the Xbox are quite nicer. It just makes playing them more fun. But I see what you nerds are saying, I still have my old Sega MegaDrive and NES which are fucking cool consoles with some badass games. I also used to rock Mario party on the 64 like it was no thang when me and friends used to smoke teh w33d. Cool dude. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

After School Special Posted May 9, 2006 Share Posted May 9, 2006 PS3 is looking less attractive by the second. I Smell 3DO. ::edit:: Oh, and I just read that the new controller doesn't have "rumble" because it interferes with the wireless. :haha: Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

26SidedCube Posted May 9, 2006 Share Posted May 9, 2006 Haters. $600 is too much? Anyone can have a spare $600 if they get off their ass, work and save a quarter of their (not even large) paycheck for a couple of months. Then, believe it or not, what you get in return is a next-gen piece of technology that's totally worth it and will remain worth it for 5+ years. Do you fuckers not have jobs or something? I Smell 3DO. You wanna make a wager on that? I'll bet you a PS4 that by the time the next next-gen consoles come out PS3 has pissed Ghostbuster's Ecto-Plasm HI-C all over the 360's fucking face.

After School Special Posted May 9, 2006 Share Posted May 9, 2006 I'm saying, are the graphics going to blow everything else out of the water? Sure. But, for whatever reason, I never got down on Sony. We had PS1, collected dust, we have a PS2 here that one roomie plays god of war on. I just never had any fun with the systems. That + 600 dollars = hahahaha No fucking way. Nintendos press is in about an hour or two where they are supposed to release more "secrets" about the Wii. I'm most likely going to get the Wii because it is affordable. And nintendo never lets down when it comes to fun games. Sure, I won't be as "cool" playing GTA8 on a 600 dollar grill, but I'll have more money in my pocket playing more fun games in my opinion. To each their own. I just have 0 interest in the new PS. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

We had PS1, collected dust, we have a PS2 here that one roomie plays god of war on. I just never had any fun with the systems. That + 600 dollars = hahahaha No fucking way. Eh.. I don't think the graphics will be the only selling-point. I think most of their sales will come from the fact that they're actually making a true next-gen system by offering 1080x display, Blu-Ray technology and cell processing. Fuck, the only thing lacking before was Xbox-calibur graphics and they're about to destroy that. I'm not even a video game nerd. Shit, I don't even own a PS2 or and Xbox (I had a Gamecube)... but saying you've 'never had fun' with Sony products sounds like some geek-ass elitist PC gamer shit, especially when it's obvious Sony is about to offer the better product. And $600 isnt' bad. That's a little more than what most people pay for a month's rent in an average area. It's not like they want $2,000 (even though the Blu-Ray alone is $1000 technology).

Obvious Posted May 9, 2006 Share Posted May 9, 2006 then you're gonna hate nintendo wii. looks like garbage to me. i see where they're goin at with it though, but how are you gonna play street fighting games or madden with that oh and at first sony was saying the new controller would look like this. still the same thing, just an ugly batman shape with the control pad and buttons slightly angled.
