PS3 not so expensive for what you get?

[DarkFlood2]

You make a point, DB, however the PS3 is quite out of my price range and many others' that I know. Plus Sony's arrogant attitude with their machine causes me to dislike them. They are constantly thinking that their console will win this console war. Not to mention that they are planning the PS3 to last *TWO* console wars. Not only will this limit the innovation, but it will allow Microsoft and Nintendo to get a one-up on their rival.

Sony has claimed many things about their console:

1)They have claimed that their console is revolutionary
2)They have claimed that their console will completely destroy the competition
3)They have even claimed that since the ps1 came out before the 64, they say that they invented the 3d polygon and nintendo stole from them (contrary to the fact that Starfox for the Snes had 3d polygons and came out before the ps1)

Things Sony has stolen/ripped off:
1)Removeable Hard drive
2)Similar functions of the Wiimote (turn the controller and your character turns)

And that's just the tip of the iceberg.

It'll take me 2-3 weeks to save up for the ps3, and thats if I don't spend a dime those 3 weeks or save any money. So while technically it isn't out of my price range, there is no way I'd spend that much money to buy it new. However, systems never stay expensive forever, and the price will drop. When it does, we'll have a system with HD compatable disks, and more advanced hardware.

1. Every system claims its revolutionary :p. The wii was calling itself the nintendo revolution. You can't dislike the PS3 for saying the same thing about their system as everyone else does.

2. Their counsil IS superior, and you have to pay for that superiority. The games themselves may not be superior, but that actual system is. Now will this blow away the competition, probably not, however, thats what their goal is. That the goal of pretty much every buisness, to blow away their competition. And thus thats what they plan to do when they plan for a new system. They're just saying what every companies goal is.

3. I kinda agree with you there.

4. Every company rips off ideas from other companies. But its a good thing. Companies take good ideas from other  companies and make them their own, overall, it improves the general quality of all products.

Most of the reasons why you dislike sony apply to every company, you can't dislike a single company for something that all companies do.

Itīs gonna be great.

HAHAHA!!! HAHA-HAHAHA!!! :taunt: ROFLMAO LOL HAHAHA!!!
*wipes tear from eye*
Whoo... Sorry about that... Anywho, the only thing I can see happening is more detail. That's about it. And we can already have more than one game per disc (we've already seen it, but it's really not that common), but why would they package two or more together when they can sell each one individually? Frankly, that's only gonna happen in the case of "Midway Classics 4" or "Fight Nite: Round 4 + Retro Boxing for Fools, circa 1995 A.D.". Matter of fact, FN: Round 2 for the GameCube has Super Punch-Out! on it. I want that now...

[Blazingheart]

Yes,everything for money -.-

[DarkFlood2]

Well, I guess we will just have to wait for the numbers to actually roll in.

[DragonBlaze]

Meh, I wouldn't want more than one game on a disk in most cases. Its like some of them two game specials I see at some stores where they have two playstation games packaged together. Sometimes I want one of them, but I hate the other one, and don't want to be forced into buying something I don't like just to get what I do like.

But it'd be cool if they'd re-release some of the psx Final Fantasys (or any other multi-disk games), they could fit all 3 or 4 disks on one blue ray disk with lots of space to spare, then again, they could probably do that with a regular dvd too..

One thing - you keep mentioning High Def over and over - how many people actually have high-def televisions?

I cannot think of one person I know, at least, with High Def. Maybe it's just me, but high-def doesn't seem common enough to constitute all the worry about having high-def content.

I've never actually seen high-def before, although if it's basically an LCD TV, then I have, and it doesn't really appeal to me as enough of a difference to make me want to buy a high-def TV.

[DragonBlaze]

I got a high def TV (not a very good one, but still HD). And I actually know a lot of peeps that do. High def tvs may not be the most common thing right now, but remember when dvd players came out a long time ago? For a long time, people stuck with their VHS players. Now, if you look in a video store, you can't even buy normal vhs taps anymore. So while high def stuff isn't so common right now, the technology is becoming cheaper and cheaper, and I think it'll start becoming more and more popular very soon.

After playing games at 1280 x 1024 on my computer, the ps2 640 x 480 resolution just seems blurry compared to the sharpness I'm used to. When I watch a DVD on my regular TV and on my computer, I notice a huge diffearnce in clarity. And my monitor/computer/dvds aren't even at the HD level.

Theres a BIG differance between SD and HD.

It's blue because it uses a blue laser that has a shorter wavelength then the conventional red, thus allowing more, and smaller data pits in the disc. The discs are also over 50% paper.

I have a High-Def Television. It's awesome. It's got speakers, it's got sharpness, and it's got clarity. Man I could get some serious air off of that thing.

It also has 3 different RCA ports, so the plugs don't get broken after unplugging and replugging them constantly.

Well you could... but I don't know why you'd want to...

Then again, I don't know why people eat underware, but it still happens.
