Got a PS3.

[D Mac]

My Blu Ray Disc player crapped out so I got a 60 GB so I can play PS2 games also.

Definatley will be getting Metal Gear Solid 4. Any other PS3 games I should consider? (That aren't already on the Xbox 360, or that are better then the 360 version) Any good games to download off of Playstation Network?

[Kalyx triaD]

Dude, you're fucked until 2009.

[D Mac]

Well at least I can play both versions of Soul Calibur 4. :p

[Sepholio]

Ratchet and Clank Future
Heavenly Sword
Uncharted
Folklore

Those are all pretty good exclusives. Folklore isn't as good as the others per se but it has pretty leet motion controls and presents a unique experience.

Kalyx is only saying you are fucked because he can't play MGS4 on his XboX :P

[Sepholio]

Also, get Super Stardust HD off of PSN. That game is absolutely amazing.

Blastfactor is also pretty good and Calling All Cars is whacked out fun.

If you like puzzle games, get Echochrome. For being the simplest game graphically in like 3 console generations it is simply astounding. An Experience you shouldn't miss.

If you have ever played fl0w (flash game all over the net) they have it as well with motion controls.

All these games are on PSN btw.

Also, you can make a Hong Kong PSN account and get Dark Mist in English, they won't release it over here for some reason (they claim it is too anime-ish for America) but it is GREAT.

[What Would Kevin Do?]

Ratchet and Clank Future
Heavenly Sword
Uncharted
Resistance
Tekken 5 DR (PSN)
Hot Shots Golf 5 (If you're into that)

[What Would Kevin Do?]

Oh, Echochrome if you like puzzles...

High Velocity bowling is actually pretty fun, and a damn good alternative to Wii Bowling.

[D Mac]

Yeah I'll probably get bowling. And that Vegas Strip Poker or whatever it is.

[Kane Knight]

Download the demo of Heavenly Sword first. It's ass, and I don't know why people are recommending it, but if you're gonna try it...It's also something you can beat in like, a day.

Uncharted is awesome, and I needs to get me Echocrome.

[U-Warrior]

Yeah Uncharted is good stuff. My ony complaint is that the firefights get kind of repetitive. But not so much that the game isn't fun.

Also, dunno what kaylx is on about. Their is a host of upcoming exclusives this year. EGM even had a huge article detailing how this year could be sony's chance to make a comeback in the console war. SO you actually jumped on at the perfect time.

[El Fangel]

Resistance: Fall of Man

One of the best shooters I have played.

[Sepholio]

Yeah I completely forgot about Resistance. Can't wait for part 2 later this year.

[Kalyx triaD]

Ratchet and Clank Future
Heavenly Sword
Uncharted
Folklore

Those are all pretty good exclusives. Folklore isn't as good as the others per se but it has pretty leet motion controls and presents a unique experience.

Kalyx is only saying you are fucked because he can't play MGS4 on his XboX :P

We got a PS3, buddy. That's how I know it's dead weight. So yeah, I could play MG4 and both versions of SC4..

:wave:

[Kalyx triaD]

What makes PS3 worth something:

MGS4
Resistance 2
Tekken 6
Vader on SC4
Uncharted
Home

[D Mac]

And Blu Ray

[Kalyx triaD]

Oh... yeah...

[El Fangel]

Hey DM, Get R:FOM and I will play Co-op with you online :D

[D Mac]

I haven't got an email yet saying it was shipped. Gettin kinda worried...

[El Fangel]

Where did you buy it?

[D Mac]

ebay

[El Fangel]

:roll: Where from moron?

[D Mac]

PA

[El Fangel]

And you live where?

[D Mac]

MO

[Sepholio]

We got a PS3, buddy. That's how I know it's dead weight. So yeah, I could play MG4 and both versions of SC4..

:wave:

Deadweight, yea. Like all those bricked 360s, right?

Why do people like you always have to come in topics and troll in the first place? What do you get out of it? Is it like an orgasm for fanboys or something?

Edit: And who the hell cares about playing both versions of the same game? What, do you feel special that you get to play with both systems exclusive character? OOOOOOOOOHHHHH big whoop. I guess you'll be happy in Sept/Oct when you can play the better version of Bioshock on your deadweight PS3, too. /rant

[Kane Knight]

Deadweight, yea. Like all those bricked 360s, right?

LOL. The hypocrisy of this post is amazing. Simply amazing.

[Sepholio]

LOL. The hypocrisy of this post is amazing. Simply amazing.

Actually, no it isn't. I was pointing out the fact that he was the one person who came in here simply TO troll. Notice how everyone elses posts apply to the topic until I comeback at him. Just look KK. I know you can do it.

Besides, I'm just trying to irk him so he'll reply with some other nonsense, like referring to himself as we or whatever. I honestly felt like making a parody of him as Gollum worshipping his precious.

[Kane Knight]

So...Ummm...You're intentionally trolling him for a response, and that's different than him "intentionally trolling for a response."

Besides, his statements had merit. Your comeback, LOLBRICKED360sLOL did not. You turned this into fanboyism, you turned this into XBox vs PS3. you're the one making ridiculous fanboy claims. Whether or not Kalyx is a roll, he had a valid argument. You had a list of exclusives where half the list sucked ass and a comeback about how he was jealous.

BTW, Kalyx is married, no? Perhaps it wasn't so much him referring to himself in the third person, and more him thinking of the item as shared. You know, like couples do. This may be a remote and alien concept to you, but I assure you, it's not to most people.

[Kalyx triaD]

The defense rests.

Moreover:

Yep, I am a fanboy. I'm a fan of videogames. I wanna play the best games the industry has to offer on the best consoles... the industry has to offer. I'm sorry if right now, 98% of my play time goes to XB360. I'm sorry if given a choice on a multiplatform release, I go with the XB360 version. I'm just sorry. For me, and excuse me if I blow anybody's mind right now, its not so much PS3 vs XB360 as it is Quality/Preference vs Epic Fail/Try Again.

I want PS3 to kick ass, so XB360 could come back and try harder. And so on and so forth...

Because in that battle of price-drops and added features, I win.

So yeah, maybe I came in this thread a little harsh. And somehow it urked you more than the thread starter... And somehow you hopped right over my post that showed what I have hope for in Sony's case... But hey, a troll like me should know better than to come in a Sony thread and start a flame war. I can see the infraction coming my way.

[D Mac]

Still no conformation of shipping or any response from my emails. :mad:

[El Fangel]

Did you send the money already?

[D Mac]

Yeah I paid for it on Saturday, they said monday they had to find a box to ship it in, that was the last I heard from them.

[El Fangel]

Man, looks like your going to have to take a drive.

[Kane Knight]

I call shotgun!

[Savio]

Blu Ray + free internet makes PS3 > Xbox360

[Kalyx triaD]

PS3 in and of itself is not an ISP, you are still paying for internetz. Unless you mean the PSN; in which case: LOL. And I can't argue against Blu-Ray, I guess I'm stuck with my inferior yet still highly enjoyable standard DVDs. Dammit.

Whatever will I do with this XB360? If only it could install games so I can shave those half-seconds off those damn load times. If only its DVD playback was high res enough to make the same movies I already enjoy that much better. What's that, Blu Ray drives at half-cock? So the extra storage makes little difference until Sony doubles the drives?!? If only a developer could find a way around it!!

Oh wait, Kojima did. On his first try. So much for rocket launching tech.

Quality > PS3
Quality = XB360, Wii, DS, PS2, GCN, XB, GBA, DC, SNES

[Savio]

of course I mean the PSN stupid

[Savio]

What makes a Xbox360 better? and don't say Halo because COD4 is better

[Kalyx triaD]

In which case I've commented on to my highest degree.

[Savio]

The only 2 games I would want for either system is GTA4 and COD4 perhaps I'll rent MSG4 when it comes out I want no other games (unless they have 3 prequels)

[Kalyx triaD]

What makes a Xbox360 better? and don't say Halo because COD4 is better

Number one, CoD4 is multiplatform. So in effect you somehow turned Seph's personal war into CoD4 vs Halo 3, which I refuse to ignite.

Still:

I wouldn't brings games into the matter anyway; we've seen crazy things happen in the industry (Sonic on a Nintendo console!?!). So Halo 4 on PS3 isn't as crazy to me as it may sound to you. So in comparing consoles, game exclusives continue to lose their weight on the matter.

Follow me here.

Being that there is an XB360 and a PS3 in our apartment, I would think that I can safely make an educated statement regarding which console I prefer. My personal preferences lie in factors XB360 excell in, namely online network (which I'd happily pay for), ease of use, affordability, and a wide feature set for my many moods (XBLA, Video Marketplace). This has made the XB360 in my household the most used console. To date, we have used the PS3 for Tekken DR and a number of PS2 games. Months ago. MGS4 will give it some life, but a single player game amongst guys usually doesn't last long. But as I said earlier, 2009 looks to be a good year for Sony and I look forward to it.

[Savio]

yes but I will only use the PS3 for GTA4 and COD4 I understand they are multi platform but I might was well get a free Blu Ray player with my purchase. Plus four year down the road I don't expect to be to into games but I know I will get urges to play online once in awhile this way I could pick up a controller and just play and not have to put down 50 bucks for it

[Savio]

Also what might be greatly influencing my decision is most of my friends have a PS3

[DS]

Got the MGS4 bundle today with a $100 Best Buy gift card. Best deal I've gotten on a console purchase.

[El Fangel]

Is DM going to have to curbstomp a bitch?

[D Mac]

Does the MGS4 80GB system play PS2 games? If so, should have waited for that.

[El Fangel]

Yeah, it does.

[U-Warrior]

After today, I don't believe I'll be touching my 360 for quite a while.

[El Fangel]

Red-Ringed eh, yeah that sucks.

[Kane Knight]

What makes a Xbox360 better? and don't say Halo because COD4 is better

I won't say either because FPS suck.

Hell, I'm not sure I even want to be in on this retarded little "Console war," but here goes:



Virtually every multiplatform game is superior. It's taken over a year to get one game where people say the PS3 version is the clear winner.
Development times: More complex hardware means more complex programming means longer development times, greater costs, and less developers.
Exclusive titles. Halo may blow, but there are a ton of hot titles that won't come to the PS3. MGS4 is really the first legit console seller.
Online play. I'm sorry, but even after the price, Live Gold>Any free service Sony could ever do.
Players. People own the 360, which is part of what makes online not suck.
Fast load times. installs suck on a console.
Microsoft's wireless controllers are pretty much the best in the business, and no Bluetooth. You didn't need to wait two years for vibration, either (though that's a minor point, and I haven't really MISSED rumble in any PS3 game I've played.)
Hitler was banned from Live. I'm pretty sure he's still playing Warhawk.

But I mean, honestly, whatever floats your boat. PS3's a pretty great multimedia system, and it plays games, too. Nobody who has bought a PS3 has out and out wasted their money unless the ONLY games they wanted are 360 exclusives or something to that effect. Sony made a reliable piece of hardware, but that doesn't make it a better gaming console. they made it technically superior (though they skimped out on the BD drive and the RAM).

However, if you want to ask why the 360's better, there's a lot in its favor. You know, like games.

[Purgatory]

Red-Ringed eh, yeah that sucks.

He could also be implying that he has, or is getting, MGS4 and plans on spending much time on that.

However, getting the old '3 rings of death' would suck too. Mine's an '06 model, so hopefully (have all fingers and toes crossed here) mine holds out and I don't have to deal with it.

[Kane Knight]

FA was trying to be witty.

Of course, he was probably one of those guys who rabidly defended the PS2 despite the Disc Read Error issue.

[Savio]

I'm sure if my friends had 360 I'd buy that but they don't and I don't buy to many games any more. I may just bottom out and not get anything....Wii is still fun.

[Purgatory]

I've only got GTA IV for my 360 and I probably won't buy another till around christmas. I'm waiting on SVR 2009, Saints Row 2 and Mercenaries 2.

As for the PS2 Disc Read Error...I've run into that with mine (It's 7 years old now), but it's only happened when I try to run a PS1 game. Other than that, I'm pleased with it.

I haven't used the Wii in quite some time. I have it sitting on top of my TV, so I know it's there...I just haven't been bothered with using it lately.

[Kane Knight]

"My friends have a PS3" is probably the most compelling reason to buy a PS3, honestly.

Mine gets its most action from being a Blu Ray player. It's awesome as a BD player,

[Savio]

If only Xbox and PS would be nice and allow everyone to play together.

[El Fangel]

Haha nope, I didnt actually get a PS2 until a few weeks after GTA: SA was released, nonetheless I wouldnt have defended it, just cursed like a motherfucker.

[Purgatory]

"My friends have a PS3" is probably the most compelling reason to buy a PS3, honestly.



Ironically, this was the very reason I got a 360. All of my friends around here have one, but only one of them has a PS3. He only got it to round out his goal of having every system from the 'Big 3'.

Honestly, this would be my goal as well. BUT, right now money is a big issue (Gas prices, Lot rent increase to $400 a month), so a PS3 isn't really feasible at this time.

[St. Jimmy]

darkSector, MGS4, Assassins Creed :y:

[U-Warrior]

Red-Ringed eh, yeah that sucks.

Nope. MGS4'ed.

[Kane Knight]

Yeah, if all or most of my friends had PS3s, I'd probably be influenced. As it was, none of my friends were going next gen at that point, and even now, a lot of them are either on the the fence or have Wiis.

[D Mac]

Still no PS3 and no response from seller. Looks like I got fucked. :mad:

[D Mac]

They had a 100% positive and a 600+ rating. Why was I the first one to get screwed. :(

[El Fangel]

Contact EBAY bro.

[D Mac]

I had to open a dispute with Paypal. I even called thier phone and only got an answering machine. I will file a claim if I don't hear from them by this weekend.

[El Fangel]

Sue, and when you get the money buy another PS3 off EBAY

[Kane Knight]

Or you could try not being retarded.

[D Mac]

What do you mean KK.

[Kane Knight]

I'd define being retarded as listening to FA.
