Some Playstation 3 Info

pricy........but worth it!!!!!!!

 

Now all we need is info on Gran Turismo 5!

 

12x the detail of GT4! sick....



E

 

It’s all about the software, without that you really have nothing but an overpriced PC. There is a rumor about F1 2006 but with our luck it's going to hit the European market. I'd give it a half a year or so to get the bugs out of the system but that won’t stop me from buying one anyway.

 

Thanks!

They mentioned Gran Turismo HD, but went on to say that the next Gran Turismo game will be even better. So from that, this HD version is NOT GT5.

 

YES YES YES I so excited about that thats sooo low compared to the prices that were being thrown around a few weeks ago. As far a blue ray I dont really know how great it is or really what it is so maybe someone can help me out, but I heard stand alone BR players could come out at 1k so its not that bad

 

motorcycles yeah
Now I have to buy a new tv with HD
Is there a reason that ferrari or lambo are never in the gt series

go to this link to see a preview for F1 06 for PS3.

There is a one minute trailer you can watch for the F1 game. It looks awesome. They better release that game in the the U.S. Be sure to check out the 05 preview as well(It is the same game I believe). That one is more exciting.

 

Licensing.

 

I know they took the vibration out of the controllers.. Which kind of sucks.. =/

but I'm sure ill still buy one =D

Whats blu-ray?? I keep hearing this over and over and have no clue what it does

 

The 05 trailer is amazing

 

As someone who has had about 10 systems over the years (I was the guy who bought Atari Jaguar...), I'll say that $599 and even $499 is way too much for a console system. And I paid about $530 CAD for to have Sega Saturn the day it came out. But those days are past, and I haven't even gotten the 360 yet... I'm going to wait for it to go down a bit first.

My spider-sense is tingling about Blu-ray - I think it will not be successful. I'm surprised their PSP "UMD" format lasted more than 10 minutes.

Frankly, I agree with Nintendo that my game systems are for games. I have a DVD player, computer, etc. separately. I don't want everything in one unit- because I want to upgrade different things at different times.

 

I remember I got PS1 around the day it came out as a 13th birthday present. I agreed to split half with my dad to get it. Packaged with Ridge Racer, an extra controller and another game came out to exactly $400. But that damn machine was more than worth it. Has a little trouble loading now, but still works.

I know I'll get the PS3 down the road, just not the day it comes out as I did with PS1 and 2. When you just tell your mom(who knows nothing about electronics) you want PS2 for christmas and tell her the day it comes out and find out she bought it that day as well....those are some true shopping skills.

 

Actually, the Wii is the only console of this generation that I'm going to buy. Nintendo doesn't have the horsepower of the others, but I don't need to spend hundreds of dollars for shiny graphics on a console. That's what my computers are for. The Wii is the only of the new consoles that's coming up with something different. I agree with what they've said. Gaming is getting stale. Studios are going to start revolting about having to produce games to meet the higher specs at higher risks and lower margins, and gameplay will suffer.

Isn't it slightly humorous that after Sony mocked the Wii controller as a gimmick, they added the basic functionality to their controller? From seeing the demos, it was obviously a last minute add-on.

 

I found it weird too - frankly I'd rather have the dual shock than telemetry, at least when it's a conventional controller. The telematics would be good on other things like a bat/sword or gun for most applications IMO.

The rising studio costs are going to push a greater divide between $5mm-20mm games and cheap indie games (and rehashes of classics, which we're seeing already... so many compilation discs lately).

I've been thinking about it and there are only a few games I will end up buying, even though I plan on Xbox 360 (Halo junkie). however, the Wii is tempting because of my young boy(s). He already wants to try and play and I'm thinking there will be better kid's content on the Wii.

 

Wii?

Is it pronounced "wee" or "why" or "whih" or what?

Maybe I'm a numbnut, but it seems to me that marketing 101 - don't have ANY confusion over the name and pronunciation of your frickin product!

 

yeah, agreed. I still think the name is dumb. But then again, Playstation sounded like a Fisher-Price product, and "Xbox" is pretty retarded too IMO.

"Hey, the letter X is SOOO cool and hip... let's just call it the 'X' Box!"

And someone approved that.

And then there's Xbox 2. "Wait, our teenager focus groups think the number 360 is way cooler than 2. There's the Ferrari 360, Anderson Cooper 360..."

 

Another good one: VW Touraeg
