PS3 criticisms?

Well peoples, it has been really easy to make fun of Sony and PS3 when they started out, but the console's shaping up real nice these days:

+Great games (ARGUABLY as good or better than 360's library)

+The best looking games (on consoles) - Uncharted 2, Killzone 2, MGS4 (yes guys, MGS4 is still one of the most technically impressive games)

+The most features - Bluray, and other stuff that I probably don't care about so much (Like Internet Browsing)

+Free online service (Call it what you think it is... as good as live, a little less good as live... point is, it's pretty much there, and it's free)

+Reasonable Price - $299 for the all new Slim model

Neutral

o Multiplats are now identical

Negtives?

- Backwards Compatibility...

That's all I can really think of.

I think Sony has some pretty good momentum going, especially with games. I definitely suffered during its early years, but knew they would pick up... never felt the need to jump ship. What do you guys think?

drawbacks:

not many people play it's exclusives online. you can have a game that scores a 100000000, but if no one plays it, whats the point?

Aaaand you play these exclusives online right? Thousands of people are playing Killzone 2 all the time and I've even stayed in one match all night with 32 people in the whole time. =/

That's not really a negative towards the USE of the system, is it? People playing those exclusivesonline are decent enough.

That definitely hurts Sony, but not so much a PS3 user playing games. Or maybe it does... I don't know.

PS3 Criticism's?

Xbox Live had Cross Game Voice Chat, and PS3 doesn't have that.

THat's the only major feature I want to see.

hmmm the only bad things are

1. no backwards ! T.T

2. Online gameplay is very queit not many people have head sets.

3. no cross game chat

other then those 3 things all else rocks! o yea and some ported 360 games to ps3 r better then what they were like ninja gaiden 2 sigma and tales of vesparia

For me no BC and I hate how the R2 and L2 buttons are set up. Also it doesn't do anything it won't do my home work (Just kidding on the last one)

I can't think of anything bad about the PS3. Except maybe ... it's a little too perfect.

The Xbox has high cases ofRROD and you have to pay for live though.

The Wii just lacks games im interested in, and has the worst online set up since the PS2.

I really wish there was backwards compatibility, since my ps2 is totally broken and I don't want to replace it. Hopefully the rumors about downloadable ps2 games comes true, since I have never owned Kinddom hearts 1/2 or mgs 2/3 before.

Funny you should ask since I was just thinking of getting one but decided not to for one big reason. The reason being that Sony doesn't seem to make VGA or DVI cables for the PS3 and the HDMI to DVI cable wouldn't work with my monitor. Pretty sad they have made it so difficult to get the system running on certain displays. I don't think my monitor is HDCP compliant so I couldn't even use the same monitor I use for my 360. Epic fail in this area compared to the 360 in my opinion and for people like me it's a deal breaker. Especially considering 90% of the games this gen are 720 or lower, making a requirement that your display can output in 1080 if you want hd is pointless except of course for Blu Ray which undoubtedly is why Sony set it up this way. Another example of Sony's original focus of Blu Ray over gaming with the PS3.

graphics are the same on both systems, ps3 has a web browser? ok...same harddrive spacing, xbox 360 has a larger online gaming community, the ps3 online is free but you have to pay to play most popular games, blu ray? how many people actually have tvs that support that? reasonable price at $300? man sony just keeps losing money.Gunnerman007

:lol: what the Heck does that even mean?.....haha, some of yall crack me up....keep reaching.

the only problem I see is the lack of mics.

please stop with the BC, BS it was always there but you didnt buy it now its gone to make it cheaper for the whingers....so please stop moaning about that they gave you a chance you didnt bite...

I could come up with several criticisms both in my own personal taste and business wise but instead I'll just say its improving and that's a good thing.

Never heard of that either BUT you do have to pay for another character slot. But you know the first one and the only one you really need is free.

My 3 major criticisms of the PS3 & Sony.

1) Sony's refusal to acknowledge the YLOD issue.

2) Now that the PS3 is at a much more reasonable price point Sony still charges the same repair fee which work's out (if your Canadian) to almost 3/4 of the cost of a brand new PS3 purchase! No wonder people are just chucking their broken PS3's in the closet to collect dust instead of paying Sony the ridicules repair fee & then, just going out & buying a brand new PS3!

3) The PSN& PSN Community.. mostly made up of 1 console owning fan-boys that hate anything non-Sony. You can't use a Halo or Gears of War Sig without getting flamed to death, You can't (as a PSN rule & because..) mention other consoles, platforms or games from other consoles or platforms without upsetting the less mature & sociably challenged on the site thus, starting a major flame war & topic lock with a mod warning to go along with it!

Other than that, the PS3 is fine.

I highly doubt it... you'll have to show a link on that one. If that's your one example, then I think we can put this to rest. Online multiplayer is free on all PS3 online titles. Period.

And Tvs to support BluRay? Do you have your 360 hooked up to an SDTV? If not, then you would actually have a TV that would benefit from BluRay. In fact, your SDTV supports it too.

You've been fed some misinformation

You sir are unbelievably misinformed.

No Cross game chat on PSN. Other then that, it's great IMO. When it gets Crossgame chat it'll be damn near perfect.

The ps3 interface is way less intuative than the 360

Psn feels cheap and not as community focused as xbl

Psn store is harder to navigate, has less content and is often slow. Marketplace and Xbla rock

Manatory installs are lame.

Well, if your hands are bigger than a baby's, then the controller sucks. However, probably the most negative thing about the PS3 is Home. Home is the worst implemented "extra" that I've ever experienced, and I lived through the Sega 32X.
