Harakiri Posted June 7, 2009 Share Posted June 7, 2009 Sony are perhaps the most idiotic of the three console makers. First they report a PS3 slim instead of a price cut (always smart to go slim when the original isn't even selling), and now a new PSP for 250 dollars? I had an original PSP and hated it. It had no original games, and when a game did come out it was crap. Every month maybe three games for the console, and maybe every eight there was a decent one. Sony is royally [bleep]ing themselves. They might as well port everything to the PS2, then it would actually sell. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

So don't let anyone tell you you're not worth the earth, These streets are your streets, this turf is your turf, Don't let anyone tell you that you've got to give in, Cos you can make a difference, you can change everything, Just let your dreams be your pilot, your imagination your fuel, Tear up the book and write your own damn rules, Use all that heart, hope and soul that you've got, And the love and the rage that you feel in your gut, And realise that the other world that you're always looking for, Lies right here in front of us, just outside this door, And it's up to you to go out there and paint the canvas, After all, you were put on the earth to do this, So shine your light so bright that all can see, Take pride in being whoever the [bleep] you want to be.

runescapeloser22 Posted June 8, 2009 Share Posted June 8, 2009 I'd say 60% of the people who own PSPs pirate games. That's why there aren't many good games, companies don't want to waste their time. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

PS3 may sell, but from what I hear, it costs more to make them then what they are taking in. If it were not for the fact that the PS2 is selling so damn well, I would say the PS3 would not be sold on store shelves by the end of this year. The PS3 is the number eight bestselling console with the PS2 in first. I personally think it's pretty damn bad when your last gen console is selling better than your new gen. I also think it's pretty bad when it's outselling the wii. I run into a lot of PS3 supporters, especially going through all the E3 stuff. Some people were saying it was us damn Yankees fault that the PS3 was selling so bad because we were to poor and would rather go for the [cabbage] X360. I won't exactly go into detail, because while I would love to have a PS3 just because it has a couple games I want to play, it still does not have enough first party titles to make me want to save up for it. The 360 has a ton of first party titles, and also has a huge online community. And as I've said, the PSP has barely enough games to last a year. Out of the nine months I had the PSP, I played about 15 games that I had heard hype about, or were praised. All the rest were cheesy RPG's, puzzle games, or movies. I am not a X360 kinda guy or a nintenerd, I just am in the middle. I keep entering contests for a PS3 just because I want goddam MGS4, but never win, so until the idiots at Sony figure out how ungodly priced their system is, I guess I'll miss out. By the way Runescapeloser, I do understand that. I never did pirate games, but I can understand that. My one friend owned a PS2 and because they run on DVD disks, he used a DVD copier/burner/whatever it's called. He could get the newest game from Blockbuster, and in a night own it.

Verminox Posted June 8, 2009 Share Posted June 8, 2009 ^^ If you were to buy the accessories for the xbox to get what the ps3 has they are the same price: PS3 = $400 Xbox = $300 + Live membership = $50 Wireless adaptor = $80 Rechargeable battery pack = $12 I took the prices from amazon so they might vary. Hang on a minute xbox is more, so PS3 is not priced 'ungodly', it is priced extremely reasonably for what you get, built in wireless, free online, controllers already with rechargeable batteries. Not only that but with PS3 you dont have to use a Sony headset you can use any bluetooth headset, and you dont have to pay over the odds for a new hard drive, anyone will work. £100 for a 120 gig hardrive for xbox, and about £75 for a 500 gb one for PS3.

TheValeyard Posted June 8, 2009 Share Posted June 8, 2009 Youd don't necessarily need a wireless adapter though you probably do. If you shop around an Xbox will cost you less, presuming you buy the 60gb version. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
stevepole Posted June 10, 2009 Share Posted June 10, 2009 I read today that the PS3 is looking at a price cut in August when Madden 10 is released. I'd post my source but I forgot where I read it this morning. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
