I heard that the games for PS3 will only work on the initial PS3 they are played on, meaning no renting games, no selling or trading in games, and no buying used games, if this is true I will be sure NEVER to buy a PS3, I would like to know more info on this is anyone knows anything.

1. PS3's price of the console ($500-$600) upon the fact that game producers say that a game will cost from $70-80.
2. PS3 has the smallest amount of exclusive titles, of which almost all of them are first party (from developers bought by Sony)
3. PS3's CELL CPU and Blu-Ray drives have not been meeting production demands.
4. PS3 has the smallest selection of launch titles since the N64.
5. PS3's BR-ROM is slower than the drives in the Xbox360 and the Wii, resulting in huge load times.
6. For the price of a PS3 you can buy a Xbox360 ($300) and a Nintendo Wii ($250) and have a larger library for the next year or two.
7. PS3 will go through several incarnations making selective games incompatible. Like the first generation of the PS2 that didn't support a HD, then the second generation that did, and then the PStwo which doesn't support a HD.
8. PS3 has lost most of their so called exclusives because developers have realized PS3 development is too costly. Unreal 2007, Assassin's Creed, and others are now multi-platform.
9. EA has significanly reduced PS3 developement in favor of Xbox360 and Wii.
10. Atari and SNK are holding off on making games for the PS3 until 2007 and 2009.
11. Ubisoft stated that they will be concentrating game development on the Xbox360 and Wii with the PS3 on the back burner.
12. Developers are not keen on the difficulty of PS3 development and often complain about lack of support. The high cost of PS3 development, the low install base, and the problems with bluray all lead to one problem: the PS3 may have a small library of games.
13. Sony's crew is obviously out of touch with reality as shown by their comments.

Go for an Xbox360 if you want to play games now. I couldn't be happier with my Xbox360 and when November 18th comes along, I'll be outside in line for the Wii.



ROFL , Just another Xbox fanboy !!!!

No, just an informed video gamer who owns pratically every console on the face of the planet and can see the writing on the wall. I have plenty of PS and PS2 games, and gone through many PS2 consoles. So don't give me that crap.

Thanks a lot everyone for the replies. Especially kanzen who has quite possibly made my decision go in favour of 360. XBOX Live is not for me though, as it ain't available here in India. And about Wii, I am not sure if it is going to be released here (the other two will be though)

Paying so much extra for just a blue ray tech, which will again take quite some time to get utilised seems out of point. Sony has really messed up bad on this one.

im a 360 fan i just like the idea of getting all the games first for a change ...iv had every console and bought the mags(10-20 bucks a pop) to see what might make it to usa/canada in a year or 2 and i emphisize MIGHT cause usualy under half never made it to psx..so its what you realy want....im cuiuos as to how ps3 will vary to 360 cause i know there very pissed at xbox for blowing ps2 away....just my opinion

One thing of note is that to get the most out of a 360 or a ps3 you are probably going to want an hdtv. The difference is emmence. Also, if you haven't pre-ordered a ps3 yet, you won't be able to get ahold of one until next spring unless you are one of those dudes that camps in line. I have a 360 and will probably get a wii because I have friends over a lot and it looks like it would be fun. I may get a ps3 sometime, but I doubt I will. If it happens to REALLY impress me I might get one, but I haven't seen anything that excites me much out of it yet.

Also, GTA 4 is going to have exclusive downloadable EPISODIC content only on the 360. That makes me cream my panties. You can call be a fanboy if you want, but I'm not a brand loyalist at all. I don't know why you would even bring up the subject of people being fanboys, EVO, because from what I have seen you are probably the most virulent Sony fanboy on this board.

agrees with burn.

potentially PE3 is more powerful but it could take years for games to see the benefit plus if it's not a monumental success, developers won't spend the extra money time and effort and most games will be straight
ports of 360 games.

The PES3 is a big and hugely expensive risk, despite what fanboys like filipino say, they'd swallow any old shit Sony throw at them .

this is obviously an easy 1!
sony have to keep putin their release date back, so obviously they are tryin to keep up with microsoft and see the 360 as a big threat! the fact that they can't get the ps3 up to a good enough standard or workin shows their is something wrong!
the next GTA is going to be out on 360 first! because rockstar havn't even started to develop it for ps3 yet, their not tht bothered becos they see the 360 as the way to go to offer thier customers the best playing experience!
the PS3 is not offering anything better than the xbox 360, also microsoft have guaranteed that they will not release a new console for at least another 4 years, but the 360 is cheap enough already so i don't see tht as an issue!
360 is the way to go and sony are kicking themselves becos they are slowely falling from the top spot!
one last thing!
Halo 3! in HD! the 360 is worth buying just for that 1 game!

Like others have said, buy em all (if you have the money)
It's all just media hype, the only major difference for years has been the exclusive games for each console
i.e. Res Evil, Gran Turismo, Project Gotham etc etc

I think I'll wait and see how the Blu-Ray does. I think Sony is betting to much on the PS3 holding the Blue-ray up. If Blue-ray can't stand on its on........

I'm not against getting a PS3 but I don't like how they are using it to push their Blue-ray. I also don't believe for a second that their online service will be free. There may be a free part of it like 360's silver but to play online will probably cost you something.

Kanzen's breakdown of the PS3 is pretty spot-on. There's a lot of knee-jerk Microsoft haters out there, but Xbox Live is a really great thing. And if you have the means, I don't see anything wrong with getting an Xbox 360 now and getting a PS3 later.

You don't want to buy a PS3 in March... never ever ever buy a console when it first comes out - especially when they are so rushed to market as Xbox360 was and PS3 will be. So in truth you're looking at another year before you can get a reliable PS3.

Graphics-wise... at this point, c'mon they're all great - so don't sweat the numbers. The first important thing about the game is the gameplay. (For this reason, the Wii is also a great choice).

Choose your console by the games you want to play, not by what brand you want to support.

As long as Final Fantasy is exclusive to PS3, I'll need one. But I'll need a Xbox 360 too, because I need Fable2


But one thing I'll NEVER EVER even touch, is Wii. I hope the first 5 million units of that crap blow up.
