Also i work at an EB games store and all you hear are people whining about how there is a very limited selection of games for the PS3 and asking when 360 exclusives will be released on PS3 (haha). I couldn’t care which console sells me most. I, like most people will buy the best value console for money. Which happens to be the 360. And 360 have still sold more consoles than wii and ps3. The choice is pretty obvious. There is also a way better warranty with xbox. The only downside to them is that they are made by microsoft.

@3 I think you mean ‘Beneficial’ And they wont be dropping the price. They already dropped the price due to Xbox dropping their price by $50. They can’t afford to drop it more.

call me strange, but i’m getting a little annoyed with people coming on comments blog and complaining about people being competitive. Its a competitve envirnoment just like sports… everyone has their favorite and backs it up, which helps keep things diverse and interesting. now thats out of the way i just want to say that… Sony made a great system, which a lot of people didnt accept very well… people can talk garbage about Sony all they want, but Sony WILL eventual be on top and you want to know why… because you same people who are talking crap were the same people who were on the Sony bandwagon during PS1 and PS2… sooner or later you all WILL get a PS3 and you know it… PS3 sales are proving it… you all hoped on that WII or 360 wagon and maybe a few may continue to be loyal, but most wont because they know Sony is a better product in the long run. They proved themselves not just with PS or PS2 but with every product you buy from them. They are a Brand name thats reliable. unlike microsoft who decide to sell defective system just to get an head start and then dont even have the backbone to admit that you messed up and make a cover story for it. then on top of that you half*** fixing the problems by giving their customers a hard to and leaving them to buy another broken system… and what baffles me more is that the customers allow it… as far as the WII is concern i was going to support them, but they turn there backs on us Hardcore gamers and decide to go the casual gaming unpredictable and unreliable yet powerhouse source which disappoints me, but thats business… all of it is business and from as far as i can see Sony has been loyal to his customers… they still focus on us hardcore games and is trying to compete with competition.

And again it´s not the price,its that it can´t play backups and blue-rays are expensive.

Sony is eating his own ass

#51 Time to reality check ,i work doing 3d stuff for advertising and games ,i can tell you that 25 g it´s a lot for 3d and i think most of the things in MSG4 are uncompressed.

The succeeds of a console rest in piracy and thats a fact

Sony do a couple of bad things in ps3,the video card bandwidth its one,that way the same game in both systems then to look blured in ps3.

Today blue ray cost a lot more than a dvd and i think it will take a little more than a wile to drop.

Drop the price to $199 for the masses. Or keep it the same for the elite. I love my PS3 and feel its worth the money but the general majority that $399 is really expensive.

No point buying a PS3 now, Sony dropped all backwards compatibility with current models. I was really thinking about one of the 101cm Bravia & PS3 deals but dumped that idea when I found out none of the consoles I could get with it would play my huge base of PS2 games.

PS2 with HDloader, Up to date PC and upscaling divx player are still all you need.

If they’d drop the ^&$&ing price to a reasonable ammount, I am sure that a few million people including me will buy it

geez thought rlslog would be full of better informed posters not just leechers.

Metal gear solid 4 iso = 46gigs

but the game data is only around 30 gigs.

16 gigs of redundant data.

so easily ported to the 360 with around 4 discs if kojima san had used proper compression techniques to save space.

face it…… if bluray doesn’t take off…. Sony has basically thrown away their lead in the console market. They have already lost ALL the profits made during the PS2 era.

ps3 over 360 any day of the week, like the man says its about graphics and thats what the ps3 gots. ps3 is so much faster processing and smoother then the 360.

How the hell did blu ray screw Sony? Tomorrows games will only be able to be made on a media with the capacity that blu ray has. Metal Gear Solid simply is not possible to make for the 360 given its media.

Sony and CO. have a strategy with blu ray. By the beginning of next year, blu ray will be just as affordable as SD DVD. Eventually though, the plan is to have blu ray movies price out at around $10. Writable blu ray discs will be less than any current format, with up to 5x the storage.

Honestly, at $399 it is a great deal. It is one of the few things I feel is truly worth it. And if you take the time to hunt a deal down, you can get it the price down below $350, like I did.

“At present, Sony PlayStation 3 is the worst selling latest-generation video game console.”

Year to date, Sony is number two behind the family friendly Wii. The PS3 is less than two years old, the XBOX has more than a year of sales advantage.

I think blue-ray screwed the ps3

Even if you can hackit still blue ray´s are justo too expensive to burn games,not to mention download 25 g per game.

For ME $350 would be the point at which I wold be taking a SERIOUS hard look at it, mainly for the Blu-ray player.

The only problem with that is to get the best out of it you need to spend about $50-$75 on an IR ad on, that enables you to have full access (including remote eject)

Backwards I would like but not a killer, BACKUPS on the other hand… really need to get those to work easily.

If you got the money, go ahead and buy a PS3. I could buy one if I wanted, but the only game that interested me was Final Fantasy XIII. Now that it’s coming for the 360, I don’t have a reason to buy a PS3. I will cheer for the 360 because it’s the “american product” of the trio. Many of you should understand that! This is why it doesn’t sell much in Japan.
