Oblivion, MGS4, Assassins Creed are just a few that are going to get more people buying the PS3. I can't wait for Assasins Creed to come out.

Assassins is also coming out for the 360. Oblivion is already out for the 360 :P and it's AWESOME.

MGS4 will be the reason I buy a ps3...that plus the final fantasy series

Those Wii's are overstocked now. Once they became readily available the demand for them went way down. I was at Wal-Mart this evening and they were just sitting there in the case.

there was an announcement a while back and the price won't drop until either 2008 or 2009 if I remember correctly.

I can't wait for Assasins Creed to come out. not so much maybe MGS but not the others because they are coming out on 360 too...really the systems are about the same....and buying blu-ray could be a bad investment because of the format war and what good is bluray if you odnt have an hd tv....ps3's are overstocked just sitting around right now too because the price is just too much

Yeah, since they're losing money ($200 on the 60gig and $300 on the 20gig) on every one they sell, I doubt there will be a price drop any time soon.

With each online update I get, I love mine more and more.

Sounds like someone on this thread wants the PS3 to fail. :thinking: :rolleyes:

COD3 is what I play online ALL the time! Luv that game online! I also have Blazing Angels. I have some Christmas money I need to take and go get ResistanceFOM. I also plan to get the new baseball game that's coming out soon.

Here's an interesting article. I think the pre-orders they are speaking of are in Europe since they haven't released the PS3 in Europe yet. There's also an interesting tid-bit about Blu Ray in the article.

mwynn: I've never seen the Xbox online, so I have no idea what it has to offer. Sony's online store is a little lacking, but they put out new stuff every couple of weeks or so. I expect that they'll start doing a beter job after the European launch in March. If they don't, it's at their own peril.

PS3 also gets periodic software updates and you can also buy/download small games for PS3 or PSP as well as download free game demos, game trailers, movie (blu ray) trailers, etc.

Yeah, sometimes i throw grenades and blow up my own guys on accident. :eek:

If you're shooting aliens (most of the time, {that's funny!}) then it is R:FOM.

Who's have you been playing?

:eek: Obviously he didn't pay for it himself if he's just letting people borrow it like that. Wow! I don't even let people look at mine! :D

I downloaded the demo of RFOM from the PS Store and have played a couple of levels. It's pretty cool. I just need to go get it...

Right now in my house, the 360 gets the most use, with the Wii a close second and the PS3 last. So far all of the cross platform games lie COD3, Tony Hawk 8, and Madden seem to look and play better on the 360. It will be intresting to see if EA does what they did with the PS2 and first X Box, and make games for the lower powered machine, and then just port them to the higher power machine.

ha my friends and I hate the ea sports football games on the 360.. they just don't feel right, and it seems like madden "dumbed down".. but playing it, you can see there is alot of potential and I think within the next couple of years it will get better

They dont really feel right to me on the 360 or PS3. Madden 07 and Guitar Hero 2 are the only 2 games that keep my PS2 in use.

I was thinking about this the other day and haven't had time to follow up til now... but the 360 and ps3 are priced pretty comparably if you consider features. In order to get the 360 similarly capable to the PS3, at the very least, you have to add a $200 HD-DVD drive and a $100 wireless network adapter which shoots the price OVER that of the PS3.

However, the fact the the 360 gives you the CHOICE as to whether you want those things is nice. Like me, i have the high end PS3, but I wanted the low-end one. I didn't need the wireless networking capability (because I have mine connected by wire) and so far, I haven't used any of the multi-media ports. Although, I imagine I will at some point. I didn't think I would need the 60 gig of hard drive space as opposed to the 20 gig. But the extra space is nice. It will be able to hold lots of games, demos, video, etc.

Does anyone know if you can change the output settings without the cords? Here's my problem, my output settings are currently set for component, but i dont have the component cables and i need to change it back to hdmi. Does anyone know if this is even possible?

for ps3 or 360?

for ps3, i think all you have to do is hook it up while it's off. press and hold the "on" button for like 10 seconds, and it resets the video. then you can go in to the menu and change it to whatever you want.

I got 250 feet of ethernet cable, connectors and a stripper/crimper for $20 at best buy. I had a employee discount though.

But how much would it have been if it was a "ready-made" one without an employee discount?

02-21-2007, 07:02 PM
$80 I think. Still a pretty good deal.
