[QUOTE="T-Aldous"]I hope the PS3 comes in a distant third by the end of this generation. Otherwise Sony will try to do the same thing again next time. If they learn their lesson with the PS3 then maybe the PS4 will be more reasonably priced, won't be crammed with a bunch of crap we don't need, and it won't be so hard to develope a game for it.Sgt_Hale
I like everything they included in the PS3... and obviously price wasn't a problem for me, I was an early adopter of both the ps3 & the 360, but price will be a serious issue moving forward I think. No matter how much I love the PS3, their price point was ridiculous for mass market adoption and I'm actually kind of surprised they've faired as well as they have... they're lucky to have decent market branding.

I think that the only reason that the PS3 has sold as well as it has is because of brand loyalty. If the 360 would have been $600 with all of the same stuff as the Ps3 then it would have been dead and buried by now.

[QUOTE="Baurus_1"]

I think it's just a matter of time till the PS3 outsells the 360 and becomes the console king (the Wii doesn't count because that's not really a serious gaming console). When it comes to graphics, PS3 games have caught up or surpassed 360 games. PS3 is getting better exclusives. And the PS3 is a much more feature-packed console. And I think the PS3 will have a much longer lifespan than the 360.

Who agrees?

You are so wrong about every part of your post...

The PS3 has caught up or surpassed the 360 in graphics? I hate to break it to you, but Uncharted has always been the graphics king, and still is.

As far as the PS3 passing the 360, it isn't going to happen in my eyes...and now is probably the worst time to be trying to defend the PS3 when 1 article after another is criticizing the PS3. Bad sales, bad holiday sales, no price cut, the waste of time that Home was...And Blu-Ray is a waste right now, nobody will pay 35$ for a DVD they could get for 5$, not in this economy anyway.

Things look bad and they did it to themselves. I've been saying it all along, 1 stupid choice after another. Right now it looks like they'd be lucky to break even this gen, let alone pull back into the race.

I still have yet to see anything so great about the graphics in Uncharted. Its beautiful, no doubt, but it ain't all that. I would say that it looks about as good as Bioshock except Bioshock has MUCH better water effects.

Like already mentioned you could get the database, but I would say buy the Metal Gear Solid Essential Collection

http://www.amazon.com/Metal-Gear-Solid-Collection-Playstation-2/dp/B001383L36/ref=sr_1_2?ie=UTF8&qid=1229065723&sr=8-2

The only problem about this game is that its for PS2, and if you don't have backwards compatibility you can't play MGS 2 and 3.

No problem, I just bought an original 60gig for $300. Its the only PS3 I would buy.

[QUOTE="T-Aldous"][QUOTE="Sgt_Hale"]I haven't really seen any graphics "advance" this year on any system. I'm not basing my comments off of what any developers have said... I'm basing them off of what I've seen on the system. With the small exception of Gears 2, the graphics didn't advance at all this year!Sgt_Hale

:? What games have you been playing?! MGS4 was an improvement over everything! Resistance 2 was definitely an improvement over R&C. Valkyria Chronicles is one of the most beautiful games out right now (not saying that it couldn't be done on the 360 by any means, but it wasn't). LBP looks better than any platformer that came out this gen. And however minor, Gears 2 does look better than Gears 1. There have been plenty of advances... it's just that most of them were on the PS3.

Well fair enough, I have not played Resistance 2 yet or Valkyria Chronicles. As far as MGS4 goes, I have played the demo and it looked great just nothing that special. I am going to pickup Resistance 2 this weekend so we will see how it looks.

Should I play the other 3 beforehand? Will I be lost in the story, or can I kinda figure it out as I go? How much of the story is based from the past installations of the game?

You are being too kind by saying that it is alright. Its a snoozefest. How can it take so long with so little to show for it?

[QUOTE="T-Aldous"][QUOTE="Sgt_Hale"]Well it's pretty obvious that graphics are continuing to advance on the PS3... I'm betting games on the system will look even better in 2010 (I don't think all the power will be tapped next year). The real question is whether or not the 360 is running out of juice... I think it will still have some games next year that look better than this year, but so far it doesn't look like it has anything that will compete against the PS3's big hitters graphically. But I do think Ninja Blade looks pretty sweet... the only game announced for 2009 that I'm looking forward to on the 360 so far.Sgt_Hale
I really doubt that the 360 is running out of juice. Game developers have no idea of how much power a console really has. I have a PSM magazine from when Def Jam Icon came out and they said that they were maxing out the PS3 back then. Do ya really think that PS3 was maxed out by that game? Come on its not rocket science.

I haven't really seen any graphics "advance" this year on any system. I'm not basing my comments off of what any developers have said... I'm basing them off of what I've seen on the system. With the small exception of Gears 2, the graphics didn't advance at all this year!
