I'd like one, for new games as well as to upgrade from my current PS2 that's having trouble reading certain DVDs and games. Of course, that puts me on the spot if it turns out HD DVD wins in the format war.
I've also heard bad things about the backwards compatibility not using any kind of filtering, so everything comes out looking jaggy. This was the link someone at cheapassgamer referred me to, but there's no real way to know if it's a true representation. Based on some screenshots I've seen, though, things aren't looking good, at least for the PS2 gen games.
If some of you are considering one right now, gamestop is running a promo to trade in your PS2 with a controller and memory card to get $100 off the PS3. You can use a coupon they have running right now as well as an edge card to get an extra $20 in trade-in value. I considered it, but I'll probably wuss out until I see a price drop. |
I was just watching that vid, and I must say its disappointing to see that. However, someone commented in the video saying the firmware update took that jagged edge thing away, so now they look normal. That's good then

As for me...I would love a ps3. I love the fact my PSP will connect with it, and some of the games I played on my ps2 will be on the ps3 most likely [Ace Combat
!] I guess like everyone else...the price is really killing me. On the other hand though, the ps3 is able to play Blu Ray, and looking at some Blu Ray players...they're 999.99, so in that perspective, you're getting a better deal with the ps3. For me, I think there are more positives than negatives with the ps3, the only negatives for me is as I said the price, and the game library right now. I'm sure when Christmas '07 hits...it will have much better games.
Jam it back in, in the dark.
