@Protektor

I wrote “I heard PS3 is free with virtually the same features as the 360″. I didn’t write “It is….”

Any non-rapishare links for this?

But what I also mean is that many people in the UK will lag anyway unless there in a city. This will mean that people could have an unfair advantage over others and thus make the game a mass fail.

@47 The lag in a multiplayer game most of the time is not caused by slow internet speed. It is mostly because of server load. Yes your internet connection can also cause lag but you need a very slow connection somewhere near dialup or a dsl with heavy traffic. If your internet connection has a heavy traffic aka many people are using your internet connection at the same time then things will lag. Lagging is not caused by having too many people in the same map playing the same game. Again its caused by the server load. If in a server there are way too many people that it can’t handle, either it would lag or crash. Your theory about too many people in the same map sometimes is correct, thats when the player have poor hardware to handle so many people in one map. Since all ps3s has same hardware and MAG is made for ps3 then it shouldn’t be lagging. Now if Sony takes a cheap shot investing less on servers then yea there might be a prob. MS did that with Live, when the server went down few months ago they upgraded. A game, hd or not is nowhere the cause of lagging because the the player’s console generates those HD contents. In a MP game only the instructions passes through not the graphics.

In America Sony are dropping the 40GB PS3 and replacing it with an 80GB model for the same price but it will not be backwards compatible with PS2 games. The more expensive BC 80GB PS3 will still be available. It’s not a price cut as such but you will get more storage for the same price (like what M$ are doing with the 20GB & 60GB 360’s).

@37 Protektor

One thing that he PS3 can do (media wise) which the 360 cannot (because of hardware limitations) is handle live TV and record it at the same time:

Does anyone know if Sony plan to drop the price or release a PS3 with a bigger HD than 40GB anytime soon? or even include PS2 compatibility like the 60 and 80GB versions had?
Thanks.

@37
I stand by my statement. The game will lag.

“how many people are online on a single server of say Everquest, Ultima Online, Star Wars Galaxy, or any other MMO server.”
Are they full HD based shooters all playing on the same map? No.

@34
“but other games like R:FoM and Warhawk use these servers.. dedicated servers won’t make a game lag: FACT”
Much like the comment above, no other game has had all the players on the same map at 1 time. Plus as I said before, most people in places such as the UK have poor broadband options and are bound to lag.

Yes you can google around and find most ISP’s in UK offer 8MB/16MB but 8/10 people dont even get half that speed unless there in a city.

I am happy with my PS3 and I will be happy with my PS3 in 2 years when microsoft releases their next console and stops supporting the 360. cost of the 360 + their next console will far exceed the amount I payed for my PS3 that will most likely still have games being released in 6 or 7 years. PS2 is how old now? They are still releasing games for it all the time. Original Xbox is how old? When was the last game released?

Hello everyone.

I’m a 36 old Portuguese male that started on a atari2600 and stopped at PS2.

I think that Xbox and 360 don’t brig anything new to the console industry. On the other hand, wii is great concept in terms of fun and market. Nintendo hitted Bullseye with this aproach to the market. Thats a funny and desirable console.

Anyone who thinks Zipper Interactive is gonna be able to pull off 256 players in MAG is insane. Zipper might be one of the worst developers when it comes to online support.
Expect lag, don’t expect updates.

(btw, i was a HUGE Socom fan. Zipper just sucks that bad.)

Alright look all this battle of the consoles is pointless, both machines are going to be outdated very fast considering that none of them support dx10 not to mention that there already is a new dx11 on the way, the only way for people to be able to play the newest games in the best graphics with best online support, and fps is simply to play them on pc. And yeah I know people will say that “but that is not the same” and that is true it is not, but it is the only way you are going to have the newest hardware. Otherwise face it ps3 and xbox are the same, companies port games from one console to the other without much difference in them so even though ps3 Is more powerful than the xbox, it is only on very few occasions that you will ever feel it. Both consoles hardware is outdated compare to the new graphic cards and cpu´s and they always will be, because it takes time to develop a console, and during that time Intel, AMD, Ati and nvidia are not resting just to let the consoles catch up.
