For the sake of argument, let's say you come across a PS3 at a flea market. When you get home, you find that the salesperson only gave you a console and a controller; that is, he gave you no cables with which to hook anything up. You can still make that PS3 work. Just plug any old power cord into it and plug it in. Got an hdmi cable? ANY hdmi cable? Plug that **** in. Don't have an HD tv? Use the AV cables from your PS2 (and I'm pretty sure PS1 cables work as well). Plug your controller in with any USB cable you have lying around. If you want to use your PS3 controller on your PC, you don't need to buy a proprietary cable like certain other companies force you to do; just use that same USB cable. Is the hard drive it comes with not big enough? You don't need to buy grossly overpriced proprietary hard drives like some other companies force you to do; just open your **** up and slap any hard drive in there. you want a terrabyte hard drive in your PS3? all power to ya. there are no proprietary memory cards with the PS3, just use a flash drive or SD card. All of this serves to make the PS3 seem like something someone would buy at Radio Shack rather than Toys R Us.

The PS3 is like the CDi: expensive, very few games, but ahead of its time in terms of hardware.

I really love the technological advancement of 10 minute game updates. As opposed to the "other" consoles 4 second updates. And I really love the blu-ray player that I couldn't care less about but had to fork out more money for. And my favorite part about the blu-ray is the fact that you HAD to buy it and they didn't even give you the cables to use it. And I love the mandatory install because of said blu-ray read speeds that I am going to have to buy a larger harddrive or just wait for a half hour everytime I want to play a game because I deleted it trying to conserve space. What a great GAME system.:roll:

I'm not trying to get people to buy a PS3. I'm not a god**** salesman. I'm just saying that all consoles should be as interchangeable as the PS3 and not milk the customer with proprietary hardware. In spite of this, the PS3 IS expensive and DOES have very few games. That's the hard truth, and I'm not going to sugarcoat it for any fanboys.

So all consoles should be overpriced and have very few good games? Very sorry for the terrible misunderstanding.

PS3 is the true successor to the original Xbox. Big, bulky, expensive, losing money for the company, way less games than the competitor etc.

I think you should take out the "very few games" statement that's not valid anymore.

True successor to Sega Saturn, more like. Besides, PS3 has yet to produce blockbuster hit on such scale as Halo 2 was to original Xbox.

No. Uncharted, MGS4, Heavenly Sword, Ninja Gaiden Sigma, Ratchet & Clank, Little Big Planet. And for the 360's exclusives... Halo 3, Gears 1 & 2, Forza 2, Ninja Gaiden 2... The PS3 has a good number of exclusives compared to the 360 worth a buy.

360 has a lot more quality exclusives than that. And Sigma isn't exclusive, it's the same game as NGB on xbox, cept with 1 new level

They're trying to with Resistance and Killzone but America will never accept the PS3. They'll never make a massive hit like that.

Really? Care to name some? And I wasn't saying the PS3 had more exclusive, that it had enough good exclusives to compete with the 360 and that "very few exclusives" is wrong to say. And let me add Resistance 1 and 2, and Valkyrie Chronicles to that list.

PS: Ninja Gaiden Sigma is exclusive, improved graphics, more levels, more content, different console.

Ninja Gaiden Sigma is a repackaging of an X-box game and (now we're in Opinion Land, but..) Heavenly Sword is anus. Xbox also has Fable II.

Really? The only thing bad about Heavenly sword I have heard is that its short, but the action and story, and graphics are great.

I'll laugh the day people start lining up in the cold for a LBP game. That's not a big hit like Halo. MGS4 is also only a third as popular as Halo.

I didn't like the story or action, but again, we're in Opinion Land here.

I never knew it was that compatible, but one has to wonder, based off of your last statement.... Legend of Zelda: Faces of Evil (PS3)?
