[PS3] PlayStation 3 Discussion Thread

Spoiler tag doesn't keep the photos from loading, actually. It just doesn't display them. If you're that concerned, thumbnail 'em. I'd just leave them as is though.

There's nowhere I can't reach.

You people realize that Sega and the like have put out far worse ads in the past, right? Infernal's journal has one such example, with some chick in a bikini who played the gear gear and grew a pair of hairy nuts.

This isn't anything insulting or strange. I don't see what the issue is here.

This thing is sticky, and I don't like it. I don't appreciate it.

Even though the weather is ridiculously nice for a November, the 200k launch units (if true) doesn't bode well for this small Canadian city.

I was planning on camping this out, but now I'm questioning if that's going to happen. Hell, if I get off school at 2 on Thursday, even if I go straight to Walmart I'm unlikely to get it. Lame.

I am a dolphin, do you want me on your body?

SOME? Hell dude, I'm planning on putting the money down on an HDTV.

Anyway, I'm off to camp starting now. Not going to be fun.

See you guys Friday.

I was speaking idiomatically.

Ahaha. Treasure it? Come on now. PORTS ARE FUN.

Oh well, unless eBay prices drop off there is no way that keeping this thing to play Tony Hawk and EA Sports titles is going to be worth the price of admission.

Honestly now. The games available right this second are making me not want to keep this thing. You guys have the next 5 posts to convince me to not sell it.

(I'll be making another line waiting entry shortly. 32 hours is FUN.)

What kind of toxic man-thing is happening now?

Yeah, it sure is an asshole thing to do alright! Shame on you for taking advantage of capitalism and turning a quick profit by exploiting stupid soccer moms who bend to the every whim of their aggrivating 8 year old. You should let that 8 year old play his expensive Tony Hawk port! Kick ASS.

FELIPE NO

a friend of mine sold his preorder and got his 2200 bucks on paypal the next day.

So I'd say that yeah, they are selling.

What, you don't want my bikini-clad body?

Good job making yourself look even stupider than usual. This is a false statement, and there were a very select few titles which the BC on the PS2 could not handle properly. FACT.

Get some braincells in that head of yours before opening your mouth again, alright?

Jam it back in, in the dark.

"Sir, whenever one of these tanks comes barreling down the highway, all the other cars get smushed!"

"Ensign, the clear solution is to stand in the middle of the road and masturbate swiftly. that will keep the tanks at bay."

"how do i rub dick?"

"use this pair of scissors"

There's nowhere I can't reach.

I knew the scalping would be rather sizable on eBay but this quite nuts. I wonder how many of the PS3s sold are ending up on eBay.

Anyway, due to extreme market flood the prices have dropped like a stone and now the units are completely worthless. No point in even reselling at this point, as you'd actually take a loss if you tried to create a bundle.

So anyway, now I'm tempted to keep the unit I froze my ass off for, but I'm also thinking of just flat out returning it for a refund.

It's not, not by a mile and a half.

The last few launchs for ANYTHING has had at least one game when the system came out that convinced me to keep it, but Resistance is so ordinary that I coudln't care less even if I tried.

Alas, it's a dilemma.

That said, it's also a bit premature to judge a system's future purely by its launch lineup. Did the PS2 even have any notable launch games?

Gears is third person, not first, but I don't blame you for not knowing that. Mo0 didn't either until he opened the game up.

I guess saying Resistance is fine as a launch title makes sense I guess, since most launch FPSes (including the recent Perfect Dark Zero, and possibly Red Steel [haven't had a chance to try it but I hear it's not any good]) are pretty crappy. But right now it's the best game of the launch, and it's still purely mediocre. Hell, I'm deriving more enjoyment out of the extremely simple ExciteTrucks than I am out of this.

As for the PS2 launch...if you promise not to laugh, I got some good milage out of Smuggler's Run back in the day.

I was speaking idiomatically.

Yeah, but it holds up about as well as Battle Arena Toshinden. In retrospect, it really WASN'T that good, but was pretty entertaining at the time for reasons that are pretty hard to understand now.

I dunno, same reason people liked Perfect Dark Zero for the first few weeks, I'm guessing. Because there was nothing else to play on your fancy new paycheque destroying box? If you ask me, there is serously nothing out of the ordinary about it. You're free to enjoy it all you want though. More power to you. The fact that I don't is making me teeter on the edge of returning this thing though. *shrug*.

I'll make up my mind by Wednesday about what I"m going ot be doing with it.

Yup! More is way better! Who cares if it's a completely useless feature?? As long as it's there, it'll totally up the value.

I'm surprised you didn't list "Chrome Faceplate".

A regular TV would be 480i, actually. 480p is only available on HDTVs and EDTVs. If you've got an SDTV you won't have the progressive scan option.

720p has more vertical lines of resolution per frame (720 instead of 540), so it'll look even nicer if you switch to that resolution.

4 have been sitting at my Walmart for the last 5 days or so, because no one gives a shit.

So I doubt it's isolated. If EB is getting multiple shipments per week, then heck, they'll be easier to find far earlier than I had anticipated. (Which I assumed would be around late February)

That's not a fair thing to say. The PC gets SHITLOADS of games. Moreso than most of the consoles do, they just aren't necessarily big ones, or popular ones.

For example, this week, the only PS2 game coming out is NCAA March Madness 07, but the PC is getting The Burning Crusade, Great Invasions, The Shield, and Pat Sajak's Lucky Letters. Most people haven't heard ot eh last three, which is why this assumption is a common mistake.

I never argued that the console games tend to be more hyped in this day and age, but I'm just pointing out a technicality.

I was speaking idiomatically.

Because I'm anal like that. That's really about it.

(We should stop derailing this now. >_>)

Boo to that, part of what I was looking so forward to in it were the epic giant FLEET battles that were seen in the early trailers. That sort of thing won't be available in an online only title, but I'm hardly disappointed. At least it wasn't cancelled outright like the scare was there for a bit.

FELIPE NO

I guess there's always the possibility of a VS WAVE CPU mode or something, which would be pretty swank if it were multiplayer, actually. I guess I'll with hold comment on that until the "etc etc" is filled out.

What, you don't want my bikini-clad body?

Are we really gonna turn this into a GAF style "insult the review site because they don't agree with me" style conversation?

Ok, what the FUCK? Can we stop with these shitty as fuck viral advertisements? Sometimes they're clever. Sometimes. But now that they're everywhere, people are shitting out this sort of crap. Granted, it wasn't as bad as that infamous "All I want for Christmas is a PSP" shit from a few months back, but COME ON.

The commercials you see on TV for Motorstorm and so forth? Those are fine. Gets me thinking about picking up another one of these things. But this shit's just a waste of time. Yeesh. If anything it makes me want to get another PS3 LESS.

There's nowhere I can't reach.
