PS3 impressions
by Zcrimson07 on Comments
I'll be honest I got my 360 at launch and have waited until last friday to get my PS3. i got an 80gb with rachet and clank and casino royale bundled with it and purchased mgs4. i've been loving mgs and R&C is just like on PS2 (which isnt bad). and i can't wait to build up my blu ray library. HOWEVER, am I crazy to think that sony is a bunch of asses for not including ANY form of HD connector? i was really shocked when i went to set it up and realized i had to go and the component cable seperately (glad i didn't want the HDMI because that one's $80!). few other gripes: you have to install things? WHY? 360 doesnt have to and the graphics are comparable (some might even say 360 is better). also the cord to recharge the controller is like 2 ft long...who the hell plays 2 feet from the tv? (well i do in my dorm but otherwise i'm like 6 ft back). not to mention the hoops i had to jump through to play metal gear online: 1) sign up for psn 2) install MGO 3) register Konami ID AND game ID 4) click on link to activate account 5) play. and i skipped a couple of other parts like the initial installation of MGS4. even with the limited time i've spent with my PS3 i can safely say that i much prefer spending $50 a year to have a competent online service than a free piece of crap (there's hardly ANY content!). ok so you probably think i'm just a pissed off lemming ranting and raving (which isn't ENTIRELY untrue), but I'm still glad that i bought it and would make the same decision again. I don't think PS3 will overtake 360's place in my heart, but it will definitely bring me a lot of excitement with great exclusives like MGS, Resistance, and (hopefully) Killzone 2. (might even give LBP a try).
