let us not.
Since so many of us recently got a PS3,I'm surprised to see not a thread about the PS3 itself. So here it is.
1:Online/Firmware update was ridiculously long.
2:You have to INSTALL DEMOS. This is distinguished mentally-challenged.
3:The PS Store is well designed but a little too much blue for my taste. That wallet thing is cool though.
4:Setting up online for the PSN was a lot easier than the Xbox Live. Easy as connecting the broadband cable to the back of the PS3,when I was connecting for XBL,I did a lot of back and forth.
5:My downloads started back instantly as I turned back on the PS3(Which is lighting fast) I know the 360 does this but it's neat to see the KB/MB rising.
It's always quite exciting whenever I get a new system. Discuss.

Totally agree with you on the firmware updates and the awful, awful concept of installing demos. What demos/PSN exclusive games have you downloaded?
Shit sucks.
I used to suck Sony dick hard. I would defend any and every batshit insane idea Sony. I would tear into anybody that talked shit about Sony, joke or not. Sony were Gods to me and could do nothing wrong in my eyes.
Then I played an Xbox 360 and opened my eyes.
Now, I hate my former self and openly mock Sony and everything related to Sony.
Another Pro:a dvd got stuck in my drive the other day. :( it took like 20 minutes of pressing eject to get it out. scared the fuck out of me.
Reliable hardware.

Also, the music player fucking owns the 360 one. That planet earth visualizer is fucking AWESOME.
Getting album info = WOWSEOME
After a while your game folder and video folders become messy. I want to make sub folders/categorize.
Yeah, there was definitely something wrong with your DVD.not really. considering it has played it fine tons of times before. it was my 40yov dvd which i've put in my ps3 no less than like 10 times.

best ps2 console on the market!
:bow upscaling
my PC sucks. :'(
How good of a computer do you need for the PS2 emulator(s)?best ps2 console on the market!
:bow upscaling
PC will totally kill it.
A few titles work flawlessly on my PC and I just use my HDTV as my monitor in those cases to play with my 360 controller. I wish I knew how to use my old now useless sixaxis on Vista.

I also love how downloading a game on PSN gives you the crustiest version of it, so as soon as you boot it up you have to update it.

Its Earth visualizer is nothing special. I think the Wii's use of the globe for the weather and news channels are much more appropriate. I would rather have seen Winamp- or WM-like visuals.
The game selection doesn't cut it for me now. Shallow and slim for my pickings.
Coming from one of the greatest ex-Sony fanboys the Internet has ever seen, I believe my opinion has some weight.
When I finally upgraded my firmware two weeks ago, this was one of the first things I checked out after hearing how "amazing" it was. Needless to say, when I need my spinning globe fix, I'll watch Planet Earth. It was cool for a bit, but it must have been one slow-ass month for the fanboys to have gotten that riled up over it.
I'm one of the most unbiased gamers that's ever lived.
He actually owned like, 3 360s and 2 PS3s... or somethingYup
The PS3, as a whole, is an utter disaster.

Stop the bullshit. Talk games or get the fuck out.

I thought it was established that the PS3 didn't have many games, so that sort of complicates things.
why would that make me lamer
i gave both consoles more than a fair shake
what's lame is how every one of your posts sounds like you got a stick up your ass, chill out

SAY IT DUCKMAN
SAY IT
PLEASE
HAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAZE
Hey, you're back.
Hey, you're back.
Yeah, just got out of the state pen for killing some dude in COD4.
I turned on my PS3 last night to watch a movie. I was greeted with the update message. So, I started downloading it, but no background dl?
I'm forced to wait for two hours to download the sucker - which was the time it would have taken me to watch the movie. :-\
Yo dudes... I was at KMart (picked up .hack GU part 3 for $10!) and I saw they had a PS3.No. 40GB has no ps2 bc
It was 40GB, and had Spiderman 3 BluRay with it
IS THIS HARDWARE BC VERSION?
Yea, that latest PS3 update was the fastest yet. Only 2x as long as a 360 update :rock
No. 40GB has no ps2 bc
80GB has ps2 bc
Both have psone bc
Your internet must be really slow. It downloaded/installed for me in less than 5 minutes. I'm not even bragging about fast internet or anything like that, but 2 hours? what the fuck.
Plus, you should have just downloaded on your PC and taken it over to the PS3 via USB dongle or one of the other flash memory options.
i hate how ps1 games on psn are the same as retail discs, they should make them better for HD displays.
i will be absolutely fine with that.i hate how ps1 games on psn are the same as retail discs, they should make them better for HD displays.
They should just update the PS1/2 emulation to do what PC emulators do. Plus, they need to be kept that way so you can play them on the PSP also.
mine took like an hour last night to download and install. ridiculous
yeah, because i'm obviously alone with my slow psn speedsmine took like an hour last night to download and install. ridiculous
Yeah, dial up internet can be a bitch.

there's one thing the PS3 has over the 360:
the ability to WORK.
it's amazing how a machine which apparently never works is managing to beat out the PS3.
QuoteDoes beat out mean only having a lead in a single continent after 2.5 years, even though you had a 1 year head start on your competition?
overall global lead in hw units - i think that's probably how it's counted.
The "only leading in one continent" ignores the waifer thin PS3 lead in Europe (Sony land apparently) and the abysmal showing in Japan (2 million units as we close in on two years is a surprise to everyone).
It also makes light of the massive gap between the two machines in US.
I assume you aren't saying the X360 isn't beating out the PS3 ... right?
If so, care to explain. Either way, what i said is correct - regardless of timing/1 year/etc. The PS3 is in 3rd. The X360 is in second.
I am still confused about how the Wii is first place.

Describe "beat out" to us all. Does beat out mean only having a lead in a single continent after 2.5 years, even though you had a 1 year head start on your competition?
Not to speak for dcharlie, but he probably means the worldwide sales, where the PS3 is still around 6 million units behind the 360, which means that Sony has only made up around 1.2 million in a year and a half. At that rate, the PS3 will certainly beat the 360. In 7.5 years.
But hey, for all I know, he could be talking about the software sales, the software library, the competence of the online experience... we could sit here all day counting the ways the 360 beats the PS3, or we could go have some beers and push over a crossing guard hut. I know which of the two *I'm* going to do.
Should I get Riiiiiiiiiidge Raaaaaaaacerrrrrr 7 for PS3? Played the demo and it's pretty fun, never really got into this series before, but it beats the shit out of most of the other PS3 demos I've played. And it's probably pretty cheap by now.

Yeah until your 60gb breaks and Sony can't repair it for 3/4 months.
I'm still bitter over this.

thats bullshit, my mates 60GB broke, next day sony guy came and he swapped his unit for a brand new 60GB
Who cares about sales anyway. By the time i bought MGS4 i hadn't bought a PS3 game since Uncharted came out.
That's like, 7 fucking months, more than half a year.
Jesus christ, i had never thought about it until now. Really pathetic lol.

Did you buy Burnout Paradise? DMC4? If you bought those on PS3 you chose the inferior version.

I haven't bought a 360 game since Rock Band. That's seven months. Beat that, distinguished black fellow.

Yeah, that might be because you CHOSE not to buy any games on your PS3. They were there to buy though.

It's annoying when people pull out that "I haven't bought a PS3 game in this long" crap. It's usually a person who's addicted to achievements, so they've decided not to buy any multiplatform games on the PS3. Instead of just admitting that, they try and act like it's really just because the PS3 "has no games".
Real :bow DMC4 :bow2 fans bought both versions and are awaiting the superior PC edition.spoiler (click to show/hide)I only bought DMC4 for PS3 since it was $20 used though and I'm hoping something good comes out of the accomplishments or whatever. :lol[close]
