PS3 Delays

[The Metamorphosing Leon]

Hell no, that was a rumor.

I still think that the price is not that much of a factor for those who are really going to buy it. I've said it before and I'll say it again, Americans spend on what they want, or what they want to need, my next door neigbors are not very well off, yet they have an HD TV, a PS2, and a pretty nice PC. They just wrack up the bills on credit cards.

And there'll always be the wealthier class to who it doesn't matter and the kids who save up their money.

As far as the fanboy thing, I just like to argue. Hell, I'm not probably going to buy a PS3 for a long time. I just don't like people bashing it when it's so completely badass and all the other systems suck (that was sarcasm).

And that article was retarded, they're just scared because 360 is going to be outdated in two months.

I hope that was sarcasm as well??

Becuase you wont be able to see a difference in the games. At least not in the beggining. Maybe down the road, but even then, people bought PS2 games when the Xbox version was Soooooo much better

The 360 has the ball rolling now. The 360 has more consoles in homes now. And the the 360 cost less.

Only time will tell how the next generation of the console wars goes.

Go Wii go

Well, when nearly everything I've said in this thread has been sarcastic what do you think?

Go away Wii, you suck and everyone hates you

I'm in the same camp as Tynstar regarding Sony's arrogance.

Before E3 I was giving the PS3 the benefit of the doubt. But the way the Sony execs have kept spouting off since then with their arrogant remarks, I'm hoping they fail miserably. The clincher being "It's a computer."...how stupid is that?

I do like the PS2. Really. It may have been the last of the current-gen consoles that I've purchased, but it does have a good list of exclusive titles that I've enjoyed.

It just seems to me that Sony is the only company of the 3 that's approaching the next gen of consoles by belittling its competition and disrepecting the intellect of it's consumers. And I don't see that changing. Which is why I hope that Nintendo and Microsoft gain as much ground as they can in stealing market share from Sony.

That's just my $.02.

someone told me that apperently regardless of where you are you have to buy a special HDMI cable to play it that costs $75-$100

[phoenix1967]

@ganon, I'd love to see that in print somewhere.

This is what he said about PS3 being a computer:

No, it doesn't concern me and I don't think it concerns the consumer either. Once you adopt a game system as your primary entertainment device, that's what you want. We think that Playstation 3 is the place where our users will be doing their gaming, their movie watching, their Web browsing and a lot of other computer entertainment functions. That will satisfy them. Playstation 3 is a computer. We don't need the PC.

It makes sense, I mean most "American Idiots" only use their computers for AIM, web browsing, and gaming, why not lock it all into the same box they stare at all the rest of the time?

P.S. I love you American Idiots, please don't lynch me.

Why would Sony add that with it anyways? I mean you never get cables for jack in ANYTHING. Most people don't even have the capabilities to use it yet. HDMI won't even be prominent till like 2012. At this point in time if you have the cash to buy a 1080 capable TV you won't mind spending the 40$ (I looked it up) for a cable.

I also looked up a few other things, and I'm right. Like I said, at this point HDMI is unimportant. Blu-Ray won't need it for quite some time. It's just a port that will be useful in years to come.

So I think I'll say: Look, the 360 and Wii don't even HAVE an HDMI port, how lame .

HDMI isn't required for PS3.

This is great, classic, infighting.

Here is some more fuel for the fire.

No 1080p Games?

Sony took flack in the press earlier this week when it emerged that the HDMI-equipped PlayStation 3 would ship without an HDMI cable. This would have potential consequences for Blu-ray movie playback, which the US PlayStation 3 site says requires an HDMI cable for 1080p. But Sony has today confirmed with Kikizo that this isn't necessarily so.


 

Both models of the PlayStation 3 will be able to play games and movies in 1080p, SCEE's Jonathan Fargher told Kikizo. Whether you're watching Resident Evil: Apocalypse or playing Gran Turismo HD, you'll be able to enjoy a full 1080p signal through component cables.

According to Sony, the official US PlayStation 3 site's caveat that the HDMI connection is required for 1080p signals in Blu-ray movies is fallout from uncertainty over the Image Constraint Token - a next-generation anti-piracy measure.

Kikizo reported earlier this year that Sony has seemingly neutered the ICT, allowing full HD signals to bypass the HDMI requirement.

As it turns out, though, unless you're using the PlayStation 3 mainly as a Blu-ray movie player, you're not going to be getting much 1080p content anyway.

Sony has made an issue of pointing out that 1080p, which the Xbox 360 is incapable of, is the Holy Grail of "full HD". As it stands now, the only game that is running in 1080p, said Fargher, is Gran Turismo HD - a tech demo crafted by Polyphony to showcase what the system is capable of.

Gran Turismo HD
This is in line with our earlier report, where a development source told Kikizo that, "even with [final hardware] in mind, reaching good frame rates at 1080p with next-gen graphics is almost impossible. Instead many developers, ourselves included, are reworking so they run at 720p. "

Whether you'll ever be able to buy Gran Turismo HD is up in the air. However, Sony did confirm that an announcement would be made at the Tokyo Game Show later this month.

If Gran Turismo HD is not released as a full game, it is possible that Sony could release it as a download through its PlayStation Network Platform.

With the PlayStation 3 a virtual no-show at Games Convention in Leipzig, all eyes are now on PlayStation boss Ken Kutaragi, who will deliver the keynote address at the Tokyo Game Show later this month. Sony is planning to use TGS as the PlayStation 3's coming out party and it has already confirmed that 27 games will be playable at the show.

Now now, let's keep this fair and not go copying and pasting. Actually I don't care, I'll take it all since I've read it all already.

Like I said, HDMI will happen, but in like six years. Hell it might not even be prominent in this generation (sure won't be in any other system ) but it's probable it'll be around near this generation's end.

Sony probably shoulda just stuck the port on there and been quiet about it. But now that the cat's out of the bag they had to stick that thing on their site or get sued.

besides why complain about game prices when you've invested hundreds into the hardware? if you can't handle the prices of games you made a big mistake buying the system in the first place, that's called consumer ignorance and it's no one's fault but that of the buyer.

That's just as bad as saying why buy a dvd player if you can't afford to plunk down the loot for 10+ movies within the first month. Why should anyone be denied entertainment all together just because they're poor? I know plenty of poor people who own consoles and only pick up a few games a year.

When it comes down to the price per-game I know quite a few people that will go with the cheaper option provided there are a few games to their liking in the lineup.

[Tan]

i'm not saying that people should be denied entertainment, i'm saying something like a ps3 or 360 is a huge investment, and you shouldn't expect to be able to raid bargin bins when they first come out. it's like buying a SUV then complaining about gas mileage,
you buy a ps3, extra controller and a ps2 mem card adapter i'm sure your hitting the $1000cdn range, and if you've commited that much to the system your not poor or under-privileged, in fact quite the opposite.
don't take me for a elitist snob, i've been poor all my life, and whatever i've got i've worked hard for, alot of budgetting is required for me to maintain my 360 game supply, but i do it with both eyes open, i don't fool myself that i'm on easy street because i threw down hundreds on a game system, i know it's a continual investment and i accept it, if i don't like it i don't buy it, but i certainly don't hide behind ignorance when i can't afford a certain item.
