Just got a PS3 and Holy Shit... [Lucky Wang]
Poast new message in this thread
Date: July 12th, 2007 7:09 PM Author: mint mind-boggling space mother Haven't even played a demo. But watched one of the Planet Earth Blu-rays. Unbelievable. The blu-ray alone is worth it. The PS3 itself is sleek and beautiful. Also, the sound quality is noticeably better than what I'm getting from the Xbox 360. Maybe that's just the HDMI. Also, tried the web browser, worked much better than I thought.
So my advice: just get one. |

|
Date: July 13th, 2007 12:28 AM Author: mint mind-boggling space mother Except that its not comparable. Wii is a last gen system with a new controller, the Xbox 360 and PS3s are next gen systems with far more power. A civic may drive and do so cheaply, but a Benz and a BMW will drive far better, even if they do cost more. How exactly do you not understand this?

Date: July 13th, 2007 12:09 AM Author: confused preventive strike stag film The Wii is a total piece of shit. It's about as good as a fucking Xbox--not an Xbox 360, but a last-gen XBOX. It's basically Gamecube that's been doubled up.

|
Date: July 13th, 2007 12:28 AM Author: razzle-dazzle brethren but all the PS3 controllers have the stupid motion control, it's not really tack-on
and i think the point is that the Wii's hardware won't allow its graphics to get much better, nor it's games as large because of the limitations on the disk capacity |
|
Date: July 13th, 2007 12:38 AM Author: mint mind-boggling space mother You're dumb as fucking horseshit. No, the Wii will always have the same graphics. Swapping a controller is very easy. Upgrading graphics means you're getting a new console, which is not a Wii.
|
|
Date: July 13th, 2007 12:20 AM Author: confused preventive strike stag film Actually, compare the screenshots of any top Wii game with a top Xbox 360 or PS3 game. The Wii looks like fucking ass. Given that combined PS3 and Xbox 360 sales are higher than Wii sales, and per console game sales will likely be higher for the PS3 and Xbox 360 than the Wii, you'll see a bifurcation in the market: there will be games almost exclusively designed for the low-tech Wii and games designed for the PC, Xbox 360 and PS3 platforms. The latter bunch will be full-on studio titles with amazing graphics and millions of dollars invested, while the former bunch will be garbage (thanks to the Wii's low development costs) with a few first-party gems thrown in the mix.

Date: July 13th, 2007 1:23 AM Author: Harsh French Chef I think there's a good chance of me picking up a console this fall. It would either be a wii (if I could find one that is...) or a PSP.
Oh, I'm sure that I'd be happy with an Xbox360/PS3. However, well,
1. they're both fairly expensive. $400-$500. The games aren't fundamentally better than Xbox games, they just have better gfx whereas the Wii does have a paradign-shifting effect
2. The 360 had this massive 1billion recall. I'd wait at least until the 65nm refresh
3. Blu-ray is cool, except the movies are expensive and the selection sucks. Mostly recent blockbusters, whereas I'd be mainly interested in obscure art films on blu-ray.
That said, a wii is healthier, chicks dig it, and it brings the greatest advancement compared to the previous PS2/xbox/Gamecube, a generation that I for one was quite satisfied with |
|
Date: July 13th, 2007 1:29 AM Author: mint mind-boggling space mother I have a PSP. Its fun on the go and is a great emulator. But I don't really see it as a replacement for a "full-time" console.
1. I got my 360 Premium for $300. It'll probably go on sale again before the holidays. Plus, you could always get the Core, which will cost only $50 more than the Wii.
2. Yes, but they also have a 3 year warranty. Mine is fine.
3. It will get better. Also, netflix has a great collection.
Also, I doubt any chicks are going to be impressed with you because you own a Wii.

this is fundamentally wrong. nba2k7 for example gives you more control over your player than any basketball game before it. the AI in the enemies in rainbow 6 and gears of war is more intelligent than in any previous shooter. franchises that have evolved from the last gen have better gameplay for the most part. and it seems you're understating the graphics difference. compare nba2k7 in HD to any last gen bball game and it's mind blowing. the graphics in forza 2 (racing) are astoundingly realistic and each car is specifically detailed down to every little driving nuance. that simply can't be done on a ps2, not to mention racing your fully customized auto against 5 other dudes on xbox live. |

I absolutely smoke the computer on the hardest difficulty on the PS2 with everything in their favor, but on the 360 the tough teams always give me a run for my money.
