PS3 is definetly lagging behind, no doubts there. I am not a fanboy of any one company though, and seek the best of every world. I think the PS3 has potential, but we have yet to see it.

I remember the big E3 of 05 when they had all the companies talking about the xbox 360, the ps3, and the wii (the revolution at the time) and I remember that Sony's was interesting in that they did show some pretty impressive graphical demonstrations...BUT they seemed to go back to this "ZOMG we won last round, look at our numbers.." and I"m like...I dont give a care, show me the games, like that was then and this is now.

As of now, xbox is more affordable, has more games, and has had a good headstart. The Wii is just a cheap fun little console that has the new wii-mote and everything, and that's why a bunch of people have bought it.

?

ps3 can do so much more thasn xbox 360 it isnt even funny

why spend almost five hundred dollars for a system that doesnt do everything you pay for, for a Ps3?

Hd dvd doesnt have better sound or picture than Blu ray

Xbox 360 cant surf the web

Xbox 360 cant install its own OS so u can turn your Xbox360 into a pc like Ps3 does

Xbox 360 doesnt let u play online for free

the xbox 360 doesnt let you watch hd movies in full hd unless you buy the Elite version, and you still wont have good sound

the xbox 360's games arent even better than ps3s

mass effect flop

gears of war flop. its a fake unreal tournament

bioflop flop, better on pc

halo 3 flop, overrrated and not better than resistence fall of man

kameo flop, its a copy off of mario sunshinesince it was supposed to be on gamecube originally plus ratchet and clank is better

virtua fighter or DOA 4 isnt better than tekken, and tekken you can play for free online

motorstorm is out cold

so theres no point in even getting a xbox 360

discuss....

Yeah, none of those games were flops. None of the PS3 games were even in the best of, so I think the proof is in the pudding, so to speak.

[QUOTE="DarthDravvid"]Someone please explain to me why a system whose creators brag about 1080p only comes with a/v cables? Don't get me wrong, I want the system for christmas, but now I gotta go buy the cables seperate, even though blueray and HD are the system's "speciality"RahKayne

Sony put the cables in there that most people will use to get their system going.

You are thinking selfishly.

A year ago alot of people didn't have hdtv's, alot of people didnt have hdmi, alot of people didn't have component on their tv's.

Why include all cables or just hd cables?

There are other things afoot also, for example BD, Sony and it's partners want to promote BD, and hdmi along with that, why give component cables like the other console? I fyou wanna talk about things that consoles are missing how about FULL free online for games. (Sure there is Xbox Silver but it's not unlimited) What about rechargeable controller, that bluetooth and also builtin wifi

STANDARD

How is it selfish to want a system seller to include a cable that many fanboys who disagree with me say is MAD CHEAP? As I said, it's not about money or means, I just think that if the thing is supposed to be so High Def savvy, then it ought to have the means to do either that or SD out of the box.

Like, they're advertising this stuff for us, waving it in our faces. Why is it selfish to complain about being denied the materials necessary to get this 1080p that sony has been boasting out of the box?

NO;

YOU?

Take it to system wars.

[QUOTE="Jamie_1987"]I remember when I got my PS3 on launch and opened up the box to find no HD cables... I was kinda pissed because I spent close to $1000 and no silly $5 cable... but really its no big deal-Murdock-

For those of us who aren't internet savvy and know how to find cheap cables, hdmi regularly go for $60+. So yes, including only composite A/V cables only is something to complain about. Not something that would stop people interested in the PS3 from getting it, but just one more mark against a company with a pretty poor image already. Component cables would have at least been a gesture of good faith.

obviously if you can afford a PS3 and an HDTV, you can afford the cables needed

Shacks210

It's not an issue of afforability, it's an issue of needing to shell out more money for at least component cables that should have been included. A/V is a bit of an insult honestly. Honestly I don't want to shell out another $30. If I buy a car, then obviously I can afford tires, but that doesn't mean it should come with bicycle wheels on it.

THANK YOU!!! Finally someone GETS what I was saying! I was just complaining about the hassle of getting the damn things. I didn't create this thread to troll or whatever. And I'm not saying I'm cheap, I just think it's sot of cruddy of Sony to not include HD cables or both for a system that is clearly supposed to do so.

Apparently, there are lots of different qualities of HDMI cables, so if Sony supplied the HDMI cable people would probably think it was a low quality one or something and buy new ones anyway...

I don't buy it though, a cable is a cable, people don't speculate about USB cables so I fail to see why HDMI is any different...

But about the subject... 8)

They make you buy the HDMI cables yourself because PS3s aren't expensive enough, and it's generally agreed that the more you spend the more 1337 you are.

I use the HD cables that came with my xbox. They're fine.

--for its horrible A.I.--

if your looking down a hallway with enemys on the other side, i put the little arrow down the hallway to my team can go kill who ever is down there, but no. they dont for some unknown reason they cant move down a hallway, they dont say why they cant but they just dont move. :|

running though a level with a bunch of doors, they get stuck behind doors, the door wont open for them, so i have to go back and get them.

they hardly ever use thier special skills on enemys.

when shooting an enemy whos behind a box or a wall...thier leg/arm is basically poping out in view, and i can shoot thier leg/arm until they die, they dont even realise thier being shot and run away.

durring some boss fight or some special geth soldier, my team stands out in the open instead of taking cover.

--for its the devs lazyness of armor/weapon models--

theres about 2 differnt sniper gun models or assult gun models.

you have about 6+ differnt pistols/shotguns/assult rifles ect... thats the same weapon model but the only difference is the gun color. so for example you have a 60damage,100damage, 140damage, 166damage, 180 damage gun... and the only differnce is one is all red, one is all black, one has a red stripe, one has a blue stripe...but thier all the same gun model.

--and for the horrible data streaming--

you open your character skill screen and the textures are N64...10secondes later its the normal graphics. this happends with in game movies, when getting out of your vehicle, when moving to a new area, or room. it ruins the feeling of the game when textures look like nintendo64 for 10seconds and then finnaly the right textures load.

CytrusNatural

Yeah, I don't care what the gun looks like, for one, just what it does to the other guy.

PS: No...just no man. You have no idea what you're talking about.

Ever since i got the fall dashboard update i can't download any M rated stuff. hasthis been happening to you too.

help me out if you know what to do.

brasswood

You need to have an adult account to do that. If you're over 18 like me, I've been waiting for this update to promote my account.

Like, everyone complaining here is a little naive to be **** about this new update. It ALLOWS you to promote your account to an adult account anyways. So the time you spent here whining about it, you could've gotten on your xbox and done what I did and not worried about it.
