do u live on a small house with very  thin walls and your neighbor also has a ps3?? :Ppsyum
No I don't. I live in a big house in the country and my neighbor's living room is probably 400 yards from my PS3. Also, I doubt very much that he has a PS3. He's definitely not the gaming type. Besides, that still wouldn't explain why its just the triangle button and it is so intermittant.

It's just another depserate attempt by the competition to justify their own shortcomings. They released a system that requires constant and expensive add-ons in order to stay competitive. They are just desperate to prove that their strategy is not absolutely crazy. The 80Gb PS3 could very well be true. But if it is, it means the end of the 60GB model. Sony will just maintain the $600 price point and update the technology as it becomes cost-effectively available. I think that is alot better than Sony just pocketing the extra money.

Something is up with my Sixaxis controllers. I was wondering if anyone else had this problem. I was watching a Blu-ray and every 30 mins or so, the menu would pop up. Not the disc menu, but the PS3 menu that comes up when you push Triangle. The movie continues to play behind the menu, which is primarily translucent. I figured it was the controller, so I turned it off and started controlling the movie with another controller. But yet, the same thing kept happening. And it wasn't just during a blu-ray. I walked away from Armored Core 4 while I was adjusting my mech and when I came back the screen had changed. It went to the item stats screen that comes up when you push Triangle. I've also had some problems overboosting when I definitely did not want to. So to summarize. BOTH of my sixaxis controllers are mysteriously pushing Triangle by themselves. Can anyone help?

I'll tell you what Series needs to be announced for the PS3. Its not Silent Hill, Jet Moto, Twisted Metal, Socom, Jade Coccoon, or anything that's been mentioned already. What I want to see is.........something new. When a new console comes out, everyone gets so caught up with seeing their old favorites get technological updates that they seem to forget that the absolute best benefit of a new console is NEW GAMES. I think that Resistance might grow to be a long running series over time. Heavenly Sword looks cool, but it reeks of a God of War knock-off that got started too late to be on the PS2 so its coming to the PS3. It will be a good game, don't get me wrong, but it won't be something fresh. Remember the first time you played Devil May Cry? Remember how awe-struck you were when you started tossing bad guys around with your sword and then shredding them with bullets. I mean, it was unreal. Remember the first time you played GTA 3? Remember how you really felt like you were this person, living in a real living breathing city? It was ground breaking. It absolutely changed the way we look at video games. So far, nothing like that has been announced. MGS 4 and FF13 look cool, but those also look like old favorites updated with new technology. I want a NEW game, a NEW character, a NEW world, and some NEW gameplay. Oh, and just so I'm not getting off topic, I wouldn't mind a new Fear Effect

[QUOTE="black_awpN1"]Theres a rumor going around that sony is thinking about a PS3 with a 80GB Hard Drive. its in discussion though. Im smelling a price increase. lol. I seriously dont think theyll raise the price if they do though. if anything theyll drop the price.
CyanX73
It'd be silly to do this. I know the manufacturing costs of the PS3 are dropping but why make a whole new system model? Leave that to other companies. The fact that you can pop in a larger hard drive anytime you want is enough. If someone wants the 80 gig drive let em buy it separate.

It would not be silly to do this. Sony believes that their system is selling very well at its current price point (its selling faster than the Xbox 360) and they believe that it will continue to do so at least through the next X-mas season. There is absolutely no reason to drop the price unless sales growth begings to plateau, which it absolutely has NOT. What would be SILLY is for Sony to just pocket the extra cake derived from cheaper manufacturing. But instead they have REINVESTED that money in their system. It's not going to be a "Choice" like with the 360. The 80GB is going to be the Standard. Later on down the road, Sony will find that the 80GB is getting cheaper to make so then they will have to make another decision. Is it time to cut the price? Or should they reinvest in the system again?

You say you're not much for challenges. You prefer to breeze through a game. So here is what I suggest Don't buy it The game is LONG, BORING, SLOW, and focuses very heavily on you playing the role of someone with infinite patience to do every other persons busy-work.

The gamespot article yesterday, and everything else I've read about it seems legit. However, as the gamespot article pointed out, it is likely that Sony will borrow a page from the iPod's playbook and add the larger hard drive without changing the price. That means, that there won't be a 20GB, 60GB, and 80GB model all available at different prices. The 80GB model will be $600 and it will be the STANDARD. And I'll bet that a year from now Sony releases a 100 GB model for the same price. I think this is GREAT. It means that Sony is committed to offering the best possible gaming experience, not just the best possible gaming experience available on launch day. It PROVES that Sony has committed to a strategy for the LONG-TERM. Gamers who bought the 60GB should not be miffed at Sony because they could have gotten the 80GB for the same price. Sony has made it cheap and easy to increase your hard drive space and you should feel satisfied that you got the best possible system for the price, at the time. You wouldn't be upset if you bought the system for $600 and then saw a price drop. THis is essentially the same thing, except Sony has decided to NOT pass the savings of cheaper technolgoy onto the consumers. Instead the reinvested it in their system. It is a GREAT thing. I'll repeat, there will NOT be 3 different models available. Once the 80GB comes out, they will stop making the 60GB. They may be available at a discounted price, WHILE SUPPLIES LAST. But that's it.

[QUOTE="ghaleon0721"]They've already talked about embracing blue-ray. Which is going to be another $200 add-on for 360 owners. .Beerbongsavage

:roll:

MS would never embrace Blueray they have already invested to much into HDDVDs and i doubt they would give into Sony's format with out an all out fight 300(the movie) status . The HD player is already a 200 add-on, they have already exclusive partnerships with movie studios that stricktly support HDDVD's NOT Blueray.

People complain about the 360s lack of features but then they complain about the ps3's cost. More Features = Higher cost its not that hard to understand is it......:question:

It is very safe to buy a 360 at this point a lot of the problems have been worked out but if you can afford it go with both the ps3 and the 360.

They released the elite to win the downloadable content war, with a bigger hard drive and hdmi that can only equal more HD goodness. On their website they stated it will support resolution up to 1080P (ps3 territory) so they are gunning for the ps3 with the elite not trying to make the normal 360s obsolete.

Its right here: http://games.techwhack.com/856/blu-ray-in-xbox-360/ Xbox UK head Neil Thompson was quoted as saying in the media: “Whatever format wins it is highly likely we will offer a solution.

Then sony had better start selling PS3's. I am an electronics specialist at a Target store. last week we sold out of a new shipment of Xbox 360's. We've had the same seven PS3's that have been sitting on the self for two weeks without one sale. we are of course sold out of Wii's. We sell maybe five to seven titles each for the wii and 360 a day! We are lucky if we sell that many PS3 titles in a week.13wanderer
Sony knows that right now, at $600 and with a small but growing library of games, their target audience is the older (21-35) more hardcore gamer with steady jobs and the money to spend on games. Notice that the game library doesn't include Crash bandicoot, Jak, or any of that stuff. And I think its safe to say that the hardcore gamer doesn't think of Target as his first stop for his gaming needs. Target and Wal-mart appeal to the masses, not the niche markets. Their stocking rotations and shipments are limited to what is convenient for their distribution centers. They aren't necessary pre-occupied with having games on the shelves the day they come out. I think it would be interesting to compre gaming console inventory turnovers at target to the turnover at gamestop or EB
