PS3 is DEAD!

[firemcd]

I just got rid of mine at Gamestop while the getting is good. As of yesterday, a 60GB ps3 gets $450.00 trade-in credit which I am using for a XBOX360 Elite.

I was a RABIDLY loyal PS3 owner, until I just could'nt stand the frustration anymore. THERE ARE NO GAMES! I have the release list covering everything through spring '08. There are like 3 games I would buy. About one release every 2-3 weeks is rumoured to be cancelled soon. Demos are posted on the store at a horrifically slow pace. The online browser is molasses-slow with my T-2 broadband. Every update takes an eternity to download, and if the power goes out while doing so, you BRICK the system. Even if I liked their crummy, WEAK excuse for a game line-up, theres nothing below $59.99! Yes, I owned and Played Resistance F.O.M., Motorstorm. (YAWN). I have played titles that are on both systems. I see no difference at all. Some parts look better on one, some parts look better on the other.

Overall they are the same. I will in the future buy another slimline PS2 so all my PS2 games are'nt worthless; worthless like the PS3. Go to any Gamestop of size, and look at the XBOX360 wall of games. Then go look at the PS3 "Kiosk". They have to put up row upon row of the same game just to make the shelf look full. Now look at the XBOX360 wall of games,there are hundreds; many at less than 20 bucks used; Several platinum hits are at 20 bucks new. Even if I could forgive all of the above, the FACT is that no one at Sony will admit to any of this. They think the world is stupid. Fine, I'm stupid! So stupid I got a PS1 the first day they were available. So stupid I got a PS2 the first day they were available. (Thus my vast collection of ps2 games) SONY betrayed us all by ruining this and more and sticking to their guns in a classic "The King Has No Clothes" scenario. The king has NO clothes. PS3 is DEAD! Only an idiot would wait another year for games that are not going to come.

Developer after developer has gone on record that Sony makes it very hard for the developer, and Microsoft bends over backward to help; even for the small developer. And now, Sony unveils "HOME"; but nobody gets to touch it until after October. And No, they claim, it is not a last ditch rip-off of Second Life to get people like me not to throw in the towel. I emplore you my fellow PS2 loyalists, take your system to Gamestop now before they change their mind and/or lower the trade-in value. Using a sinking ship as an example, the entire ship is almost underwater, and holding on to a PS3 at this point, you are standing on the last 18 inches of the bow as it slowly slides into the inevitable.

It's good you have finally seen the light.

I have always said that the 360 was a better console then the PS3. The 360 to me just feels like a grown up console where the PS3 feels like like it should still be in beta testing.

I think the fact that the 360 has been out so much longer then the PS3 means that it has been a bit more battle harden and everyone started developing games for it straight away, well before the PS3 came out.

I think Sony rushed the production of the PS3 to launch when they did. They should have held back and kept working on it for a bit longer i think.

The PS3 itself is fine. Sony just didn't get that many good game titles out near the launch. If they would release a lot more good titles, it could dramatically boost the sales of the PS3.

I saw a demo of the ps3 at a store.. I want it! lol.

They should produce linux for it like they did ps2. I wish I could get that (for ps2) but I dont know how. No one sells it, and ebay is usually too expensive.

[cheater]

They have linux on the ps3. Sony even supports it.
Linux for PlayStation 3 - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

[macuser9214]

if they can do that. Mac shouldn't be hard to install, once they get QEMU working for PPC.. But that violates the contract, running OS X on non-apple Hardware.

[cheater]

The only problem is, linux can't use all the PS3's hardware. Because of this, they can't use the full power of the graphics card to get great movies. And since you need to use a usb keyboard and mouse, it almost pays to just buy a normal computer.

[macuser9214]

true, but just for the coolness of doing it..

Just like I have run Windows XP on my mac (before intels) just for the coolness of doing it. Then I got rid of it, because I didn't have a key.

And I have run Windows ME on here, but took it off because it slowed down my whole computer...--

I just do stuff for the coolness of doing it.

[cheater]

Well, I do things like that too. So I can't really complain.

[macuser9214]

just like having a website.. Yeah I can understand for the club at school, but a personal site. I HAVE NO REASON FOR ONE, but I have one just for the "coolness" of doing it.
