No one cares about the Xbox outside US..

Don't know if it's just for me, but the PS3 if way too expensive and I'd rather buy a PC for the same price and it would be just as good, with the option to upgrade it when required. But that's just me.

I dont know, i really hope it doesnt die out though. Im waiting for some good ol fashioned role playing games to come out for ps3, and the no region protection thing is a plus for me too since i prefer to play games in japanese if possible. But i guess its possible since the price of the console had been seen to drop rapidly and everystore seems to be in stock of it now.

I honestly do not know.. I hear they should be alot better than a Xbox 360 though.

The Ps3 is a great console, but is a little expensive, The ps3 maybe will die, but i am sure
they will be better in next generation games(Ps4 o.O), a company like Sony Computer dont will die
in one day, remember they are selling right now, LCD, DVD, MP3,...

Well.. i have a Ps3 and i say.... It was a good inversion, a lot of fun and games like Disgaea 3 or MGS4

ahh... Gamecube or Xbox died because the Ps2 was better?? O_o I dont think so...

I'm too lazy as of right now to post a long response to what's been posted here since I last checked so I'll just say this.

Spudsy, if you're so damned sure that the PS3 is dying and Sony has lost the war guaranteed, then please, prove it. Until then, what you are saying is nothing but baseless fanboy hate.

The PS3 has games.

Because steaming piles of putrid human waste should totally, completely, and honestly be referred to in the same category as games like Sonic, Oni, Battlefield 1942, Unreal Tournament, Deus Ex, Perfect Dark, Neverwinter Nights.... you know, games worth actually playing.

I hate to point it out to you but you're ego has made you stupid. Several of these games you've mentioned exist on PS3. Hell go look at metacritic. I'm sure its a far better judge of what classes as steaming piles of putrid human waste.

PS3 wont really die out too fast.. Sony will probably release PS4 before PS3 completely dies out. Im betting that PS4 is just a redesigned PS3, to keep costs down and avoid becoming a dead weight money waster like the PS3 on launch.

I was a hardcore Sony fan, but there's only one thing left now between me and buying a PS3, and that's if they get Wild Arms 6 and it's a PS3 only release. If it's on the Xbox then i have no worries with having to get a PS3 ever again...

Simply put, the PS3 is a good system, but it will never hope to match up to the Xbox 360 for the following three reasons.

#1. Cost, the Xbox is considerably cheaper and in the recession that we're going through cost is a killer.
#2. Marketing, Microsoft seems concerned about cornering the market with quality games, not quantity like Sony and Nintendo’s strategy seems to have been.
#3. Extra content, Xbox has more downloadable content, cooler features, and better interface hands down.

I'm sure I don't need to cover on the costs, which is a seriously strong point for the 360. Personally, it still doesn't change the fact that they truly haven't fixed the problem with the system since it's initial release. Though, in these tough economic times, it's a deal breaker and a steal at that too.

First, I'm not too sure I agree on the quality of titles on the 360 than the PS3. Especially during launch. I must remind you too that Onechanbara came out on 360 as well =P. However, that all boils down to personal opinion. I still feel that the 360 and PS3 share a practically identical lineup minus for about 30-40 percent difference and even then both systems have their fair share of mediocre titles.

Second, I would of agreed with you before Microsoft did the most recent interface update. I find that new Xbox Live interface is not only more difficult to maneuver, but also not nearly as visually appealing. What I found to be a rather sharp and simple interface has now become somewhat complex with goofy looking avatars. I'm not saying it's bad, but I don't think they took a step in the right direction. They've also managed to defeat the point of a custom background, being that the new interface takes up so much of the screen.

Some excellent points, though. The PSN interface, which is rather easy and smooth to navigate, is rather plain and the content isn't much as well. However, given the previous effort Microsoft had with the Xbox and now with the 360, they most definitely have more experience. Still, it would benefit to expand upon what they have and offer much more content. It is a bit disappointing knowing that the 360 got the demo of RE 5 before PS3 owners did. However, it's also a double-edged sword, being that certain demos and such are only available to gold members instead of all members.

The stratgey behind that manuever was to try to steal some of the glory Nintendo garnered with their "Mii' characters. And although this ploy did not work, you can't deny that the concept behind it was solid and that in ideal circumstances this would have been a brilliant idea.

Null eh? I challenge that quote!

Seriously though, I don't disagree with it at all. Honestly, I think it's a fantastic concept that would most definitely work out well, provided it met the ideal circumstances. As is, it does kinda feel like a cheap knock-off of the Mii's, as you mentioned, but it does have quite in depth creativity in comparison to the Mii system used with the Wii.

My only true complaint with the 360 is paying for a subscription. Considering I can game online with my PC, PS3 and Wii for free, it seems kind of silly for Microsoft to charge an arm and a leg for their Wireless adapter (which is absurd that there has not been a price drop on it yet) and then charge a monthly fee. I can tell that they do put that to work, being with the amount of content and quality of service, but I still feel that they'll be behind times by charging. However, with how many subscribers they have, people obviously don't mind paying a bit extra for that service.

Which is the entire reason Microsoft hasn't dropped their prices OR stopped chargin altogether. And while it is true you get an overall better online experience on your PC, the Wii deserves to be free because (in my opinion) the experience you get from that is entirely infuriating and not worth paying for in the first place.

My experience with PS3 online interface is limited however so I cannot critique it as much as I'm inclined to. But from what I've seen it's interface is simplistic and easy to use, which is always a plus. And as far as a wireless adapter is concerned, I made one of my own based off of a Popular Science design I read about in this months magazine (which I highly reccomend you purchase)

I dont think the ps3 will die out. Sure when it comes down to it, whoever spends the mony will win the console war, but to tell you the truth, I think PS3 and just sony period has to many loyal fans for it to die out. If push came to shove, I bet all the ps3 users would bail sony out if they really needed the help, cause they are the ones that gave us titles such as FF7, Xenogears, Bloodyroar, I mean come on! The strongest thing the ps line and sony may have running for it is it to me has always been the storyline and its gameplay. Nonone does it better in my opinion. X-box may have the graphics down pat, but sooner or later people will get tired of looking at shiny stuff on the screen and start paying attention to the storyline. Was ff7 remembered for its graphics? Nope. How about persona? Nope. People become fans because of the storylines, not because "hey, that character looks cool". They get attached to the storyline and fall in love with the hardships the characters have gone through, and who else like I said does storylines better than sony? O.o So will the ps3 in particular die out? I don't think so. Its probally only a matter of time before you hear about the ps4 lol.
