Just because It doesnt have any good games at the moment, doesnt mean its going to be like that forever. Every time I enter system wars, all I see are threads like "PS3 is crap, xbox360 is better" and the reason why it is so expensive is because of the Blu-ray technology.

Now don't get me wrong, I am not a sonyfanboy, I own an xbox360. It's just that It doesnt make sense the way some people on these boards full on spit at the Ps3 just because of no games. Give it some time, I'm sure the PS3 will be as good as the 360.

This is next gen. Last gen all the consoles pretty much had all the same stuff except for a few exclusives. What I'm trying to get at is, what does the PS3 offer (besides BR) that the 360 doesn't? The Wii is obviously is different from the two.

People bash it to try and get back some of the money that it's robbed from people.

it's a lot of money.. and blu ray is forced upon you... i preorderd mine, but that's because i can afford it and because i have HD projector to play the Blu ray movies on. But For people with a SD tv and a low budget, this thing is WAAAAY too expensive. But they too want to play MGS4 and motorstorm.

I don't get why people believe that stuff in the Bible is real, but they do. I do however understand people saying the PS3 is crap cause it has great competition this time around(Xbox360)

I don't look at the Wii as a threat cause it basically is just another Nintendo gimmick with poor graphics which may possibly take second since the PS3 is overpriced garbage but it'll never be number 1 with it's limited capabilities

these day its cool to bash the PS3.

I mean, just look at what this GameSpot editor said, 'When I tell people that I own a PS3, they usually give me a weird look and ask "Why?" If you give me some good news, I may no longer have to shrug and answer, "I don't know."

Everyone right now who isn't a die hard cow basically have issues with the PS3, whether it's the extravegant price, the lack of games, the messy online plans, the broken promises etc. All of this conspired to make the PS3 less than what it is, especially if you already have a X360 and/or Wii.

I sort of realize my own hypocrisy, I complain about the PS3's $600 price tag but I just recently built a $1120 PC. Then again, a PC can burn, record and play music and movies, play games and I can do my schoolwork on it.

give what up?.. are you saying you don't want to play motorstorm? am i talking to a fanboy here perhaps... the word flop is being used by babys here on the forum. Gamers just play the games they think are good. Motorstorm is great fun. it lacks some features, but that doesn't affect the good gameplay and good looks. Don't come talking to ma as a fanboy. Come back only when you have somethng to say that is worth reading.

That doesn't negate the fact that it may still very well be a great game.

SpinoRaptor

because the majority of system wars is composed of mindless xbox fanboys, that go on complaining about the ps3 and its home feature.

eg,
Ichiroisawsome

I must say it is really stup*d.  Seriously are you cows ever going to have a game to play other than RFOM?  Home... Yeah lets play Home at home on the PS3.  Really lame.  "Bu teh GDC moo, moo"

People are bashing the ps3 based on the price and expectations for the graphical bar Sony set, they also claimed than psn would be on par with live on the 360 but free. So far the ps3 has yet to offer any tangible benefit over the games on the 360 despite the added cost ie the bashing in system wars.

I guess it's wrong to bash a game system because it has no games, you're right.  I guess nobody's allowed to say anything bad about the Gamecube then.

And secondly, it's not just $600 bucks because of the Blu-Ray, but also because of Wi-Fi.  Now, I have an Xbox 360 and I want Wi-Fi, so I paid for it.  I don't want HD-DVDs so I didn't pay for it.  Some people are happy enough to plug their 360 in with an ethernet cable, so they don't have to pay for Wi-Fi.  It's the same with the hard drive, wireless controllers and all the rest of the features the 360 offers that you don't necessarily want.  You can still get the system without having to pay for all the bells and whistles.  So yeah, $600 is ridiculous for someone who won't use all of the PS3's features.  Couple that with the fact that it has a meager game library, and there's not much reason to buy it at the moment.

I remember a time when EVERYONE hated Microsoft. "They stole from apple" (In one way or another). Windows is ulitmately flawed and an imperfect system, put into everyones computer. Remember the anti trust anyone? I see him trying to buy out the gaming market. Now that Xbox is hot, no one cares about bill gates. Really funny how much of two faced liars most of you are.

As for the why people bash the PS3?

Some people want to think their money is worth more than other' people's money. Makes them have something to smile about with their crappy jobs and insecure little life.

It doesn't make sense when posters bash the Xbox 360 or the Wii either.

You weren't REALLY expecting sense and reason from fanboys, were you?

I think the biggest reason why we bash the PS3 is because Sony failed to deliver on their delusional promises.

The hype and expectations were so high, Sony's comments and statements were so ridiculous and cocky....so seeing them in troubled waters is just asking for a bashing.

No one's denying that the PS3 is a great potential for future games....but some things that Sony did with the PS3 is a little upsetting. For one, I hate it how they're shoving Blu-Ray tech down our throats, using their PS3 and the consumers just so they can make a ton more money in the format/movie business....is it even about games anymore? Two, I hate how they think their brand name alone will some how appease customers to ignore its hefty price thinking we'll buy anything. Three they're getting a little greedy don't you think? And four.....I don't like their arrogance.

They displayed the same arrogance and bashing against the DS when they launched the PSP and look who's laughing now!

The point is Xbox 360 has better games now. It will be a long while before PS3 gets some good games and even then Xbox 360 will have more.

Most of the best games on 360 are either coming to or already are on PC.

The Pc is the best gaming system but if you can't afford a gaming pc the 360 is the next best thing.

If people don't voice their concerns (or bash) nothing will be heard. If everyone expressed their views, it's more likely for something to improve or a problem to be addressed. Remember the b/c of PS2 games and how the problem got solved by a patch? If no one complained about it, it's very probable that Sony wouldn't hae done anything about it.

Could be because they purchased another console before the PS3 and now just feel the need to bash it to justify the decision.

The same can be said of why sonyfans bash the Xbox 360, to justify their more expensive purchase.

Dude, even PS3 owners bash their own system if something's not right (B/C). Xbox 360 owners bash their own system for breaking down and complain to MS. Wii owners complain for the lack of online games out of the box. Face reality, everyone wants the best out of the product they buy.
