Dunno if we have any big gamers here. I figured it'd be cool to have a discussion about the PS3, it being the newest of the new and all. I managed to get my hands on the 20gig at Best Buy about a week ago and I totally thing the thing is great.

I'd say the funniest issue is the comparison of the PS3 to an Xbox 360. Since it is being sold as a substitute its hard to not compare, but can you really? The 360 has been out for well over a year now and PS3 is BRAND NEW and the graphics are pretty much the same. So imagine PS3 in one year and compare that to the 360 games of now, then you have an even match.

Another major selling point is Blu-Ray. Its 500-600 bucks for a BD Player, or you can get a PS3 for 500 and have both. lol Cost of 360 is 400+200 for the HD-DVD external drive add on. lawl....

Congrats on obtaining a PS3. I had mine preordered but was sold out. I was offered the 360 but took a refund instead since my brother already owns one. After much wait it wasn't really worth the big wait. Lots of issues here in there resulting in overheating or the power button not working and so on. There is very miniscule difference in terms of graphics between PS3 and 360 but in some games, PS3 wins in favor by just abit but nothing you would really notice when one is gaming. 360 didn't have a HD-DVD player until now which is sold seperately where as the PS3 came with a BD player which is by far much better than the standard ones released today. I'm no fanboy, I just grab any console that leads me to the games I most desire (aka FF13, RE5, etc.). This coming December or next year they will have resolved all these issues from the launch date of the previous PS3's. Be sure to grab your hands on one if you haven't yet. 1 Million units or so to be sold by the end of year... or was it next year? Anywho grab one while you can or wait till it gets cheaper since there were no good launch releases at the start :(

Actually, the 360 HD-DVD add-on thingie is only to watch movies. (at least thats what i've heard). But i've been very curious about the current gen-wars, it seems like xbox has a nice lead but the ps3 might have a huge comeback. Though sony's quite a bitch towards europe, delaying almost everything 6 months. (even ps2 games)And M$ launches almost everything worldwide.

Wondering why im not mentioning the Wii in the gen-wars? simple, its because we'r all getting a Wii due to cheapness and nostalgia feeling when you download Super Mario Brothers on that virtual console.

trauma center is AMAZING on the wii! haha. its so great! i pretended to be dr. tenma from monster, haha. i always got A's :D its a great time. anyway... the ps3 is a great system, and i wish i had one. i would rather have it than a 360 mainly because of the controller... but a couple of games i really wanna play are final fantasy xiii (ps3), and assassins creed (both). those will be AMAZING!

Got my PS3 a few weeks ago. Lair should be released pretty soon, which should be fun.

Right now my Wii is just a paper weight. Not really any games out right now that I'm interested in.

Edit: Wish I had a HD TV though, feel like I'm really missing out on the graphics department :(

Just stating my opinion in the matter ^^

Actually, the 360 HD-DVD add-on thingie is only to watch movies. (at least thats what i've heard). But i've been very curious about the current gen-wars, it seems like xbox has a nice lead but the ps3 might have a huge comeback.

Wondering why im not mentioning the Wii in the gen-wars? simple, its because we'r all getting a Wii due to cheapness and nostalgia feeling when you download Super Mario Brothers on that virtual console.

Actually it being a cheap price makes it a good rival in the console war since the whole thing is about offering good hardware and software for a good price really, thats one of the reasons the 360 is out doing the PS3 (other than the fact that its godly) also people wouldn't buy a Wii if they weren't interested in what it has to offer in terms of gameplay, plus the fact that it appeals to a wider range of people means...well Nintendo is owning things for now.

Who knows what the future holds though. =3

Well guys, I did picked up the PS3 after a few months of the release. It was hard as hell to get too! I got the 40G one i believe, LoLz yeah i forgot already. I got resistance with it and I loved the game and still do! Can't wait for part II!! Anyways, Wii came and took over if you guys didn't know, which i'm sure you do. Now PS3 is coming back and gonna win it! Hella good games are about to come out. MGS4, GTAIV, RESISTANCE2, Gran TURISMO!!! ahhhh!!! SO many games and i have no money!!! I'm definitely picking up MGS4 (reserved it already) and Resistance2!! I'm a Sony fan . . . in the gaming franchise of course, but definitely not car audio related. They suck at that! LOLz,
