Well, it seems like sony is walking backwards in trying to make their console more attractive.

The first thing they should axe is the price. I mean seriously.
Um, they are reducing the price. Or do you mean they should drop it to 99$ and cover the losses by selling pixie dust?

PS3 has no good games that justify buying the console. At least with the PS2 MGS2 was set to come out what...3 months after launch i think?
It was released more than 18 months after the launch of PS2 in Japan.

Ah, my bad aardark...seems like it went by quicker than it seemed.

But I think the price drop was for Europe only because didn't Sony drop the 60 gig model to 500, discontinue it, then sell the 80 gig for 600 still?

I was speaking idiomatically.

Anybody who runs PS2/1 games on their PS3 is an idiot to begin with. Every single game looks like ass thanks to forced deinterlacing, and the upscaling is terrible (the scaler of my JVC is superior). Practically everyone on Earth has a PSTwo anyway, so I don't see what the problem is.

The only benefit is potentially cleaner audio, since the PS3 has a more stable chassis, and an optical clock that wasn't manufactured by Radio Shack.

What kind of toxic man-thing is happening now?

You forgot the benefits of essentially unlimited memory card space and official wireless controllers.

That and at least on my HDTV, PS2 games look a crap load better on the PS3 than they do on my PS2. Sure, I could keep my SDTV hooked up JUST FOR THE PS2, but that's unnecessary space taken up and is also highly inconvenient.

You still have to differentiate between fullHD and HDready. While I do believe that upscaling helps a fucking lot when you're lucky enough to own a fullHD TV, I don't think that I was like "wow" when I played my PS2 games with my PS3 on a HDready TV.

Practically everyone on Earth has a PSTwo anyway, so I don't see what the problem is.
Thanks for that, but I don't exactly want my room to look like a nerdplace.

Full HD is just BS marketing talk that Sony made up.

If you want to get technical, Full HD, which is 1080p, isn't even "Full" HD, which in reality is over 4000p.

There's nowhere I can't reach.
Old Oct 6, 2007, 09:34 PM #83 of 836
I remember when Sony hooked up a bunch of HD sets together and shot some sort of super HD video from a camera that was rigged to the top of a car and displayed them on those sets it gave everyone slight motion sickness because it looked so real except huge kinda like the first time you went to an IMAX theatre and looked down while some asshole played footage from some dude in a helicopter from a thousand feet up on it and you were all dude I hate heights, fuck, walking down these stairs isn't helping AT ALL but pretty much everyone agreed that it was pretty cool and rad anyway. =)

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

Right now the way how I see it, the PS3 is a good piece of technology. However, the company, Sony, needs to get it's act together in my opinion. Basically put, I think their marketing section sucks.

So Sony is Extorting us Europeans with buy it now or you won't get one because we shit all over Europe.Of course this paves the way for the 80gb model but that will probably be priced at £400/around $800 with no god damn games knowing Sony. They are forcing my arm to get the reduced price PS3 now because they aren't selling any in the UK.

I was hoping to buy one in late January but the 40gb will probably be the only model avaliable eventually with no backwards compatibility and a dinky hardrive? So no buy!

Seriously WTF is wrong with them.

I really wouldn't be all that surprised if by January of next year Sony announces the return of PS2 BC in the 40GB models. The only reason the 40GB models don't feature BC is because the PS2 Graphic Synthesizer processor was removed and they still haven't finished the emulation code for the chip. Sounds like they are rushing to get a cheaper model out to the public for Christmas time and targeting PS2 owners with this model.

It's interesting to note that the 40GB models supposedly can still play PS1 games since the PS1 hardware is still being used as the I/O processor for the PS3.

I'm honestly considering buying the 40GB version. I don't care about BC, and I can always buy a new HDD if that's what I want.

(I get the feeling that this post just shows I haven't "gotten it" at all )

Wouldn't surprise me at all if eventually a cheaper PS3 showed up eventually with BC in it. They've already paid quite a bit of attention to that feature to just kill it without raising eyebrows.

Still a pretty dumb idea, if only because it makes your competitors look better.

What, seriously? I'll wait for some photos of this in action. And speaking of photos, here's a few of the 40GB model.

It's true, all versions of PS3 can play PSX games. Would be kinda lame if they didn't, considering that my computer five years ago could already do it perfectly.

Here's a new 'ceramic white' PS3 for Japan: NEW PLAYSTATION®3 (CECHH00 SERIES) COMES IN TWO COLOR VARIATIONS AT A NEW PRICE | PRESS RELEASES | Sony Computer Entertainment Inc.

Looks really good, much better than the ugly 'dirty white plastic' colour scheme of the 360. I might order a white DualShock 3.

HEy guys. I don't know what else is supposed to be coming, but Everyday Shooter IS coming on this weeks update for about $10. Man I can't wait. Here;s a trailer for thoes unfamiliar with the title.

Gametrailers.com - Everyday Shooter (PSN) - Chain Reaction Gameplay HD

Also announced is a new Gradius/R-type side-scrolling shooter. Visuals look like R-type, gameplay more like Gradius. Current release status is TBD.

Man, I've never heard of Everyday Shooter, but that Lumines-type music interaction it has going on looks fantastic.

I'm also a fan of Jets N Guns, so Soldner X is a no-brainer for me. Now if they could just put out a Ratchet demo, this would be Perfect Update Weekstravaganza 2007.

Ratchet & Clank demo will be released this Thursday. It was planned for October 4, but got delayed one week.

So the Ratchet & Clank demo is fucking tits. Too bad it's only like 5 minutes long :/.

The Groovitron and the free-fall/dodge-traffic part made up for the length, though.

p.s. did i just say fucking tits

The PSN demo of Ratchet is 16 times better than the disc version, if only in that in runs at near-60 FPS constantly, which is a beautiful thing.

Anyone downloaded Everyday Shooter? It's not too bad, considering one guy did everything for it. I paid for it just to give him his crazymadskillz prop.

and yes, you did say fucking tits.

Jam it back in, in the dark.

It seemed longer than five minutes to me, but then I also didn't finish the Heavenly Sword demo in thirty seconds like some people said they did.
