Which games specifically? Examples please because so far every game that has been designed on & for the PS3 have not been anything other than brilliant.

Oh LOL, reviewers. Which reviews/reviewers exactly? Tell me which ones and I tell you which ones MS have shares in or own. Ask yourself, if it was a level playing field when it came to reviews, why then do all the sites predominantly advertise 360 games?;)

Oh oh oh! I know this one! The ones that call Halo anything above average FPS. :yep:


No, really. I only trust few reviewers that have always gotten their reviews spot on, Halo 1 got praise but Halo 2 & 3 = same old.

Danlisa lied to us,
he said he works as a Support guy in a company
he is Mr.SONY ITSELF!!!!:o

When I get around to replacing my PS2, it will be with a PS3, for sure. MS shot themselves in the foot by backing HD DVD, the PS3 has Blu Ray built in. Plus I always liked the games that were Sony-only.:cool:

PS3 always seems to get the short straw when it comes to cross platform stuff though, just look at what a mess EA made of the Orange box on ps3 and stuff like Assassins creed/Turok which struggle on ps3.

Blu-ray may be ps3s biggest asset but its also its biggest problem, a lot of new games on ps3 have to be installed (DMC4+GTA4 when it comes out) to the HDD since the read speed on bluray is just too slow to stream data to the system without stuttering (its about half that of standard dvd).
To avoid a lengthy install process many studios simply dial down the texture/environmental details for ps3 versions so they can be streamed from the disc which completely negates the point of having all that disc space and generally leaves ps3 owners feeling a bit hard done by.

So far the only game that has done the ps3 any justice (IMO) has been uncharted.

In the long run i think 360 will always have prettier games since it has a much better graphics card compared to the ps3s Nvidia7600GT equivalent, + Sony is stuck with openGl only as opposed to MS with DirectX+OpenGl.

The ps3s games will however continue to take advantage of the space available on bluray along with a more advanced cpu, giving much larger, more engaging game worlds.

Long story short im glad i have both consoles and am a total fanboy of both;)

You've hit the nail on the head there Flakmonkey.

Cross platform games pull the PS3 reviews down. Basically, all cross platform games are developed on the 360 because it's easier for the coders, then it is ported (badly) to the PS3.

However, if the dev studios aren't lazy and actually dev/code for the PS3 directly, the difference is outstanding. Uncharted, Ratchet & Clank, Motorstorm, Resistance, Warhawk & Eye of Judgement all prove this. If you take the time to learn the PS3 coding & hardware specs, you will get an infinitively different result.

As for lengthy HDD installs, true but both consoles are moving in this direction and is actually determined by how the game is developed. Again, if they are lazy they will go with HDD installs. That said, the games I mention above do not require addtional HDD space other than save games. The only PS3 dedicated upcoming game I know of that will require HDD space is GT5, where something like 5.8GB will be installed. However, that is understandable considering the extra functions this game brings.

You know, as much as I would like to say that one console is better than the other, I can't. They are different architecture and everything that is achievable on these consoles is in the hands of the game studios.

That said Metal Gear Solid: Guns of the Patriots will own all!:p

I bought my ps3 simply because I'm a loyal Final Fantasy-Dragon Quest fan. (Hopefully their will also be Grandia and Wild Arms games made for the ps3 as well).

Excuse me people.:nope: The big game this year for PS3 will be Starwars Force Unleashed!

THE POWER hahahahaahhaaaaa:ping:

This is the only reason why I like PS3 soo much. Now if they can convert Mass effect to PS3 then all will be great. But I hear Mass Effect is comming on PC soon:up:
By the way I don't hate XBOX 360 I hate MS.;)

The whole point of my post was to indirectly comment on the Force Unleashed release date (being the day I'll have to buy an X360).

But Force Unleashed is a cross platformer... Probably developed on the X360 and ported to everything else. I'm gonna wait and see which console it runs best on, as this is probably the only game I'll be playing on a console.

Ok...let's see. Resistance: FOM and....oh wait, that was the only original Sony game worth note so far. Whoops.

:rotfl: Thanks for the laugh.

I suppose the 6 exclusive titles I mention above don't warrant a mention? Of course, you're basing this on reviews, come back when you own them & have played them. Otherwise, you are in no position to have a balanced opinion.

I'm not going to get involved in a "battle of the fanboys" or a "nuhuh-yeshuh" argument; online nonetheless. I'm just stating my personal opinion, and as is typical of this site, it gets attacked as if by sharks.

Thanks friendly people of subsim! :up:

Only immature people who can't put forward a balanced and informed discussion/argument resort to this type post. I do not.

Personal opinions are fine but they must be based on some known fact. The fact is that you don't own a PS3 and you haven't played the games that were specifically built for the PS3 so you can't have an informed opinion about their quality. Using a review as 'your' personal opinion is flawed because it's not a verdict that you have reached but rather one you have assumed to be true because someone else put it in print.

I have a 'personal opinion' about people who own X360's BUT I do not voice it because it has no bases in truth.

As for your 'opinion' of Subsim, this has no place in this discussion and is in fact a reflection of your maturity and debating skills. If you can't venture a sensible discussion, don't post.

No problem. Come again.:D

Dowly, pass the popcorn!

I like playing with my wii at night when I am all alone. :stare:

See, that's a opinion based on personal experience.:rotfl:

But, ewwww!:lol:

I never have played a ps3, true; because I really don't make enough money to buy one. My 360 was a gift. I never said the ps3 was God-awful, I'd probably buy one if I had the money, along with a Wii. I'm just saying for what I've done with my 360, it's been good for me. Also, I was just saying that from what I've heard from reviewers and friends that own it/a friend that works in a game store, the ps3 titiles haven't been living up to what they were supposed to, I'm sure in a year's time, it'll have a selection equal to that of the 360. Most reviews that I have seen for PS3 originals have been mostly in the mediocre range. And no, I won't paste the links, because I know for every site I give, someone's going to say "Their payed off! by Microsoft"....because, y'know, sony is incapable of doing something unethical

In my original post, I was also noting the budding (but subsided) age-old argument that "I don't buyz xbox 'cuz Microsoftz is the suxorz". I just have a problem with people who dislike a company because they've been successful.

Sorry if I "ruffled some feathers", but I don't typically do a 60-minute reasearch session before I post.

Something important to remember is that the reviewers/friends only think what they think about a game. Everyone has different tastes, including reviewers. :yep:

I have 2 games for my PS3 they are great in there own way but I'm not too drawn to them. One I bought for my daugther Ratchet Clanks Future and one I bought for myself because I felt it to be the best choice at the time. Call of Duty 4 Modern Warfare. I like the COD4 for its graphics and mutliplay.:up: Nice story too those cutscenes are awesome. Oh I do like shooting in that US Gunship with night vision and thermal...:rock:

Ratchet has alot of little details that gives the game its own realism in that worlds vision. Action slash game is easy to play with some puzzles. Fun for a kid...

But I like the old long slow style RPG games. Oblivion I already have on PC. So I know right now all they have is shooters and hack and slash games. But In time new stuff will comeout.

I suggest those of you who own a PS3... If you want her to have a long life get Nyko's Intercooler High efficency Snap on Cooling Device.

My PS3 used to heat up badly... I got this baby and shes nice an cool.:up:

Good Hunting all.

Purely out of interest, what ambient temperature were the surroundings?
Also, have you added a new HDD? There have been reports of 7200rpm HDD's causing heat problems.

For example my living room is always @ 21oC or less and my PS3's internal fan never goes into high gear but my PS3 is on top of my PC desk and has alot of clear space around it. Standing vertically BTW.;)
