...oh yea, mwave.com give BFG 650watt power supply a bad review too, but newegg.com disagree. Who should I believe?

You read all the reviews and talk to people then form your own opinion. No one website will give you the correct answer as to what You will like.

As I said, this is all my opinion based on what I read, its not fact lol. Noone can give you a factual answer as to what you will Like, its personal opinion.

Anybody who thinks 360's HD-DVD player is good is kidding themselves.

And yeah it all comes down to opinion on most of are arguments, but its all in good fun.

Just like Forza feels completely un-realistic and trashy to me, maybe its more fun for you guys that way. I do like some of the things they did with it, but as far as the engine goes its trash. It even looks like a PS2 game...

See I think forza feels more real, basically the opposite of you lol. I wont say GT is a bad game as obviously alot of people like it, just not the game for me

I could care less.

I dont buy DVD's of any sort, I RARELY rent them.

My TV isn't good enough for me to tell the difference anyway (or atleast I really doubt it).

I don't need a bunch of better looking exsplosions or anything like that. Make the story line good and i could give two shits less if you put in explosion .gif's. Actually, that would probably make a sweet movie.

I have you all beat...I'm still rockin my SNES!:icon_evil Who needs graphics that look pretty if the core game itself sucks azz?

As far as Blu vs. HD goes, the way tech moves today they will both be replaced by something better soon so it dosen't realy matter.

Lets end the PS3 vs Xbox360 argument by saying that It depends on what the person wants to do with their cash. Personally, I <3 my computer for gaming. Its faster and performs better, and no controler can replace the feeling of a mouse or a joystick (and with a computer, you can have all 3 plugged in at the same time. Can you drop in any graphics card, more ram, a bigger HDD or a new soundcard into ANY console? No. Once consoles become obsolete, they are done. Meanwhile, I can upgrade everything in my box and make it faster and stronger than any console system can ever be.

Ill stay behind my computer and not waste my time or money on any gaming console.

^ K thx... That's more of a console vs. PC arguement than a PS3 vs. 360. But w/e.

I agree PC gaming is better, but for $400 you have a console ready to go. $400 will just buy you a good video card. (No, I don't care if you can find a 'good enough' one for $150... My 8800gt was $310, shipped). Add additional RAM, a good CPU... It gets exspensive. $400 every 3-4 years no matter how you look at it.

PC can get free games, however. I have always loved that. No CD cracks, .ISOs, pirated crapp from the net.

This is about HDDVD vs. Blu Ray

 

[SupraOfDoom]

Yeah PC is great, but you do end up paying more. That and if you add up how much upgrading costs to play killer titles down the road, its even more. But yes, PC = Awesome. I'm building a new one soon for TF2 and SCII.

Yea, Ive been playing console games since my atari 2600. Ive also been playing computer games since I got first computer. They are just different game experiences, one cant replace the other for me.

You buy a console and dont have to worry about upgrading anything it just plays when you turn it on. You dont have to worry about compatibility with anything or drivers. You dont have to worry the next big game wont run on your system unless you dump upgrades into it

Also, just because a new console is out it doesnt make my current console obsolete by any means. The old consoles still play just fine and have plenty of games you can enjoy.

Also nothing beats sitting down in front of your big screen tv with a few people playing a game together. Yea you can do that with a computer if you really want to but how many people have that setup.

Games that look as good as Gears: Let's see, a launch title called Resistance Fall of Man, Heavenly Sword, Tekken 6, Killzone 2 ( and its only in ALPHA STAGE ), GT5, METAL GEAR 4...

Not a single game you've mentioned looks as good as GoW, with the exception of GT5. MGS4 is a GREAT example though - go look at what we were promised @ E3 '05

Now go look at what we've seen now in 2007. Weird that the graphics have gotten worse?

Sony has a PROVEN HISTORY of promising 'amazing graphics' - it wasn't until God of War that we had graphics that looked like the ballroom scene of FF8, that Sony was shelling out to us to keep us from the Dreamcast.

Sony shovels shit. If you feel better gobbling it up, more power to you.

Nintendo sold 350k consoles last week. On record as stating they are on the way to having sold 17.5million this year. 22 million by March 2008 vs Sony's projected 11million by March 2008 (and they are only at what, 5 million right now?)

Sony shipped 121,000 consoles in October. Nintendo shipped 519,000 units. Microsoft shipped 366,000 consoles.

Sony hasn't provided hard numbers, only that the 40gb and 80gb have seen '192% increases' Big deal. 192% of shit is still shit. Still not where the Wii or 360 are, in sales.

Nintendo and Microsoft are both dancing all over Sony this go-round. And even better, is that even if Sony manages to sell more consoles, they are simply bleeding themselves dry!

 

[SupraOfDoom]

First off, how does Gears look better the Killzone2? Gears doesn't look very good, its just dirty looking graphics....

PS3 has sold 6.31M so far.

PS3 has outsold the Wii in Japan 3 weeks in a row now.

PS3 is about to start selling more worldwide then 360 ( If it already isn't after Black Friday ).

PS3 to sell 430K units this month, http://www.gamespot.com/news/6183389.html?om_act=convert&om_clk=newstop&tag=newstop;more;2

Yes, the Wii sells a shit load... its $250 dollars and has specs from 4 years ago. Duh.

Almost EVERY Analyst says PS3 will beat out 360 next year in sales... and be close to the Wii.

The PS3 still doesn't have its MAJOR titles out yet... imagine how much it will sell when it does. The 360 has its baby out, and its selling the same as PS3....

Sony has been gaining on the market for 3 straight months now... its only a matter of time. You can deny it all you want... but all signs point to it.

 

[SupraOfDoom]

Infact, let me state why 360 will not sell better then the PS3.... in one word.

Japan.

You can't expect to win when you can't sell shit in the country that is the #2 buyer ( And barely at that ), in the world. If you think otherwise, your just plain blind!

Killzone looks good, but is nowhere near what I was promised when I picked up my PS3. GOW without question looks better in HD than what I have seen from the Killzone camp. Also your right between the 360 and PS3, Sony will win in Japan. But I&#8217;m not sure how that is supposed to affect us here. You show a heavily biased opinion toward Sony, almost more than anybody I talked to. Sadly it makes you sound ignorant of what is really going on in the world of console gaming. Will the PS3 win, in time I believe so, but Sony&#8217;s world isn&#8217;t the rose color that you seem to be imagining it. They have a very steep climb ahead of them, and they are up against a tough competitor. The PS3 has the long distance legs to make it to the top, the real question is, does Sony?

 

[bowsercake]

Anyone ever used a Sony Betamax?

I never did. Sony's last attempt to corner a recordable device market bombed and I haven't seen anything new this time either.

 

[csnow]

I think HD DVD will win. Movie sales are a wash at this point because there are so few high def players in the market. Wal-mart's secret Friday sale showed that consumers will buy players and software at the magic $99 price. Price sells players, not games, features, etc. Joe six pack will decide this format war, not the early adopters. I will admit, I am a bit biased toward Sony. I have grown up with their multiple format failures and have become gun shy with Sony technologies.

I own both formats and watch both via Netflix. I have bought more HD DVD titles than Blu-ray. I have seen stunning visuals and garbage transfers in both formats. To me, HD DVD makes more sense. Capacity is no longer a factor with the new 51 GB triple layer HD DVD that has recently been approved, which Disney signed on as an approver. I am not aware of any movie with uncompressed audio that cannot fit on 51 GB.

SupraofDoom - I expect to see a Sony sticker on that car in the near future fanboy Just messing with ya.... the PS3 does have some nice titles coming out that I look forward to playing.

 

[Doward]

The only reason for the PS3 sales, is that it is the CHEAPEST blu-ray player on the market. Combine that with the fact that the PS3 is actually a GOOD movie player (unlike the PS2's garbage DVD) and you'll have many sales of the system.

I invite you to look at the attach rates of the PS3. Hell, the PS2 still outsells the PS3!

The PS3 is considered by many to be the best, not just good, Blu-ray player on the market. I think the new Denon and Pioneer Elite may trump it but the PS3 is a great player.
