PS3: It only does... less and less each month.

[QUOTE="StealthedRogue"]

I gotta ask, how many of you know someone who actually used linux on their PS3?

It always seemed exceptionally pointless to me.

It's better to have loved and lost (BC and Linux) to have never loved at all (Xbox - no custom hard drives, no bluray, no web browser, no wifi builtin, no bluetooth)

Wow what fanboy spin, Rumble was ADDED! BC was never taken away, my PS3 has BC, what happened was it was removed from future models to reduce the price of the console, nobody bought a PS3 with BC and then got it taken away. Only thing taken out was Linux which NOBODY ever talked about anyway, seriously stretching it.

[QUOTE="Zero_epyon"] No one's hyping it that much here. The ps3 has more hardware features than the 360. If you disagree than you're just being blind to that fact. Something Fanboys are know to do.Zero_epyon

that was a very dumb article. Didnt have rumble because of the patent infringement dispute, simple as that... took away linux because of security faults; the only real disappointing "loss" is backwards compatability, but you knew that everything after the 20,60,80 gig models would not have it... stupid article...

I think the sixaxis tilt motion controls is next to go.

u cant debate the best online. web browser is irrelevant. they can and probably will make a seperate bluray drive in the future.

AD216

They can? No, they surely can't. And even if they did in some wierd alternate universe, where Master Chief is real, it still wouldn't be up to par as the PS3's or a stand-alone Bru-Ray player.

Features that Sony took away:

1. Linux- never used it, dont give a rat's A$$ about it.

2. Backwards compatibility -you got me there. However, I have a launch 60GB, and hardly ever play ps2 games on it.

Features that Sony added:

1. MGS4

2.God of War 3

3. Infamous

4.Ratchet:Future

5.Little Big Planet

6.Killzone 2

7.Motorstorm

8. Resistance:FoM

9. Heavy Rain

10.MAG

11.Warhawk

12.Best version of Final Fantasy

13. Yakuza 3

14. Bluray

15. Free online

Sony rescued Bungie with MS treachery.

How is rumble a disappearing feature?

Also, you can't lose features you never had, so the idea that the ps3 lost features before it launched nonsense. Every product has a design phase, and ambition sometimes kicks you in the rear when you realize what you'll have to charge to bring the wanted features to fruition. No one would buy a $1000 dollar console on launch, well almost no one.

People want a 100 dollar price drop? Fine, remove BC and lower the price of the ps2 to $99. Done.

Hackers wanna hack? Fine, remove the feature they are exploiting. Done.

LOL. Sure, products have design phases when they are in DEVELOPMENT. This is why Blu-ray to this day has a disclaimer saying the all features may not work in your player, complete garbage if you ask me. Sony has succesfully proved with Blu-ray and the PS3 that people are willing to pay premium prices to be beta testers.

[QUOTE="Zero_epyon"] wait... cant u use a flash drive 4 extra memory on the 360. they can add bluray if they want to. web browser irrelevant. u can wifi and customize a 360 and it a still cost less than a ps3AD216

You get what you pay for.

I don't have any stand alone BR player, but I'm sure they all have that disclaimer. Unlike DVD, the BR profile keeps getting updated, and if you have a BR before with the new profile (and the features) before your BR player manufacturer gets their update out then your player won't work with all the features.

If using the ps3 to play BRs is beta-testing, then beta testing has never been so smooth and flawless. It's a great BR player, and to believe otherwise is to not have used it for that purpose.

whats with all this win pc fan boys? linux is way better then windon'ts . its faster way safer gets way more updates and its free. sony taking it out of ps3 is bait and switch .linux is one reason why i liked ps3.

Allowing Linux on the PS3 was a way for Sony to fight Microsoft with Windows. It failed miserably and they did want to fund it anymore and basically said screw the small group of people who use this functionality, we got there money now and I am pretty sure an evil laugh followed.

No, it was because some guy was using Linux to breach the PS3's security. So in order to close the breach, they removed Linux.

[QUOTE="Zero_epyon"][QUOTE="AD216"] the hardware do have more features. i never denied that

AD216

why do people keep talking about the bluray player as a feature that can either be gained or lost... it is THE feature of the ps3... next to the cell processor and the rsx memory, the blu ray drive is everything... and how about we talk about features added... hmm... 3d gaming?? bitstreaming hd audio?? streaming audio through two outputs simultaneuously?? playback of media files (wma/mp3) at higher frequencies?? All of these features are either about to be added (3d) or have been added in the last year. Just remember that the bluray is THE feature of the ps3, definitely not just a gimmick feature

That sounds so made up, did you make that up? Some guy breaches the security of the PS3 yet somehow Sony found out about this because the guy wasn't careful enough to cover his tracks yet he his smart enough to crack security algorithms. Get lost kid.

Here you go.

All they got was BC and linux.. linux not being important at all ... so just BC.

Features that I have lost since the launch of the PS3:

1. Install Other OS

Features that I have gained since the launch of the PS3 (not all inclusive):

1. Rumble

2. Folding@home

3. Home

4.Trophies

5.Media Streaming

6.Remote Play

7.3D

skektek

Sure, but according to fanboy "logic", Sony just copied all those things so they suck too. In other words, if Sony takes something away they are evil and arrogant but if they give you something...they are evil and arrogant.

basically the fanboys hate on sony no matter what they do.

want customer to go out and buy expensive new controller???? Simply remove feature at launch, tell your customers it will never happen.... then re introduce it few months later so your customers can now go out and spend a cool £39 on a controller with the feature that you said would never happen.

Or maybe dodge a huge lawsuit and then reinroduce a feature?

And evrey PS3 made since DS3 was launched is bundled with DualShock 3.

And its not like the Xbox is innocent *cough* HD-DVD *cough*

I see 3 features on that site. Does that mean ps3 has only been out for 3 months (according to the TC topic title)?

Lets look at these features then:

Rumble: Rumble wasnt at the start of the generation but now is, so thats out of the question. Rumble feels just as good as it did last gen.

Backwards Compatibility: Fair enough, but Sony has not ruled out completely that BC wont come as a software firmware update. Older PS3 models have BC support, and playstation 2's are as little as £15.00-£30.00 now 2nd hand, which is essentially same price as a 1 game.

Linux: Thats the only main feature that was removed.

and what TC said....

Dual HDMI: I cant afford 1 HDTV, yet alone 2, so why have 2 HDMIs?

Dual Ethernet port: I see no purpose. Its pointless having these features that will up the price for no reason

With all that considered (and been debunked), my Ps3 has gained features in the process

1. Rumble

2. Folding@home

3. Home

4.Trophies

5.Media Streaming

6.Remote Play

7.3D support

Kinda expected a thread like this from a low level..

Anyways, they've been doing to lower the price (besides linux) so I have no problem with it.

Also, why don't people ever talk about all the features they add to the Ps3?

who said anything abotu dual hdmi by the way?? thatd be awesome, that'd allow for 1.3a complaint A/V receivers to be used while using hdmi 1.4 complaint tvs (3d)... but i've never heard of any talk saying something like this; im not into the 3d thing, but if I ever get a projector it will be 3d fo sho
