Actually i think you will find the reason for that is that the ps3 is awful. if people actually get past the fact that its called ps3 and actually look at what its got you would see its inferior to other consoles.

360 for instance is FAR better. much more stable, an incredible online system compared to ps3s boring online system. its free its gunna be awful. the ps3 cant even run Call Of Duty 3 without slowdown! and resistance is the only game even worth looking at! you parade these sports and racing games around saying wow these look great. but they are just sports they could have the worst visuals in the world and it would still be the same. basically gamespot is letting people know what this new 'console' is really like. good luck beating gears and crackdown lol.now leave gamespot alone, just cause they are the only ones who arnt scared to tell the truth.

You obviously don't know what you're talking about. I personally don't favour one system over another, but your post was just plain stupid.

I love how all X360 fanboys love to claim that a free online is going to be bad. They just wish they didn't have to pay a sub for their online.
The PS3 online is good for me, does the job and it can only get better.

Definatly! while the extra features are great to have the most important this is online gameplay. I have played a lot of resistance and I have never had connection/lag issues like I have on GeoW. When you first look at xbox live it looks great but once you realize how little it really give you I begin to wonder why people pay $50 a year for that

Much more stable? Dude, you're talking about the makers of Windows! The X360 has much more crashing problems that the PS3, that's a fact!

Boring online system? Online is about playing with other people and that's what it gives. Many games who are multiplatform are exactly the same online, have fun paying 50$ for what we get free.

At least we have Resistance at launch, X360 only had PDZ at launch and it was mediocre. This year, games such as Motorstorm, MGS4, DMC4, Lair, Heavenly Sword and such are coming. That's an awesome list of games.

I agree that Gears is great, but come on, Crackdown? It sold just because of the Halo 3 beta! Crackdown is nothing impressive, really.

Wow, IGN must be biased too---it just gave Formula 1 racing a 7.2 score! Yea, yea yea, tired of hearing these biased threads. Just because at times a low score is given that you didn't like, the site must be biased! Well, a lot of people refer to IGN as an "unbiased" site, and it gave the same score as GS---should we consider this another conspiracy by MS buying out IGN and having them give F1 the same score?  Or that IGN is PS3 biased now as well? In any case, please stop whining about the scores and biased sites and just enjoy the games Who really cares about the scores anyway? Does it really mean that much to you?.

did you say stable?.....I own both and trust me the 360 still tis this day is not stable.  Do a poll on how many times a 360 owner has had to recycle a system.  In my case its been 4.  Games.... yeah were waiting for but so didn't we (360 owner) for a year and what killer app  came out that was backwards compatible? PS3 has God Of war 2....XBOX had nothing and lets not forget it's no longer in service.

I stopped reading when you said "360 for instance is FAR better" I knew then this was some stupid fanboy.

I love how all X360 fanboys love to claim that a free online is going to be bad. They just wish they didn't have to pay a sub for their online.
The PS3 online is good for me, does the job and it can only get better.

Your words are hollow. Get back to me when you have a real basis for comparison. Nobody complains about Live because it's an excellent service compared to the competition. It's clearyou don't have a 360 or a Live account, or you wouldn't be making such ridiculous statements about Xbox user disatisfaction, a phenomenon which exists primarily in the mind of the uninformed PS3 loyalist. You don't even seem to know what you're missing out on, but I suppose ignorance is bliss. 360 fanboys don't talk about how PSN 'going to be' bad. It IS bad... right now, as anyone with both consoles will tell you.

This argument is usually countered with, "Well Live does things I don't even care about. You pay for useless features I don't even need." Well then why is Sony desperately trying to make PSN as much like Live as possible? You can't have it both ways.

PSN isn't bad because it's free. It's free because it's bad, and Sony knows nobody would want to pay a fee for their substandard services. "It can only get better?" What a nice way of conceding that it sucks.

And why is GS down on PS3?  Because the journalists here have the ability to comparison shop, and most of them either have all the consoles at home or at work.  The PS3 is a big letdown for anybody (especially 360 owners) who bought into the Sony hype machine and saved what amounts to a months rent to play games equal to or lesser than the games they've been playing for a year on the competing hardware.  They are hard on Sony because Sony is no longer as competetive as they were the last 2 generations, and this is clear to anyone with a basis for comparison (ie. someone who has access to all the consoles.)  Most of the people who are praising the PS3 currently have never owned a 360 out of principle.

PS3 online being free is great but it does have one big flaw... AFAIK it gives the responsibility of hosting games (servers) to the game developers. It might not be a big deal for right now but after the European lunch and once the PS3 user base becomes big enough these game servers will have to be upgraded to handle the demand and guess who'd have to pay for that? Some companies will be able to do this but I'm afraid that some will not... this is all speculations of course so take it with a grain of salt.
