PS3 = owned

[Bajaratt]

I already said it was an opinion, days ago, but given that the reviews for PS3 launch titles aren't that hot, it's a pretty damn wide-spread opinion. Going with it's an opinion, stop antagonizing people who express it, if you're entitled to yours, we're entitled to ours; especially when it's the same fucking opinion.

Yes, you're saying the good to "counter" the bad, and yet I keep expecting to hear about financing or how I should order now in your posts. The only good things is that it's a blu-ray player and it's powerful, these are things that were never in dispute and are completely irrelevant to the problems that people are talking about, but you seem to think that the cell processor's power is the panacea to any of the PS3's problems. Bad games, poor launch numbers, backwards compatibility problem, not all systems running at 100%? Who cares, they've got blu-ray! You're completely unresponsive, you just keep saying the same two things over and over in hopes that we'll go away and somehow stop being right.

I'm a Nintendo fan, fanboy would imply that I'm jacking off to my Nintendo games or that I totally disregard any negatives about Nintendo consoles when I've never done either. Nintendo's fucked up before, big time(Virtual boy, keeping N64 as cartridges, SNES internet, R.O.B., etc), but you're completely ignoring how Sony is following the exact same trend. Expensive designing costs and difficult to design, turning large portions of the fan base away, developers jumping ship, this all happened with the N64. It might not happen with Sony, but given that it happened to the biggest video game company before, if you can't see that it's at least possible(some think likely, but oh no that's an "opinion") then you're a blind fanboy.

Why still the bitching? So few released? well many of you said you had no care to get a PS3 for awhile, if at all, anyways.. why still the bitching?

Maybe it's all of the Sony fanboy's idiotic posts about how the lack of supply increases demand, or how because they sold out the ridiculously small amount of units they made that it shows just how popular the system is. Obviously they wouldn't have enough at launch, no one ever expected they would; but if idiots would stop acting like the fact that they sold out every PS3 was a big deal, people would stop caring about the very small amount of units made.

The cost? you're telling me you can't save up some money over time to get it? It's not that hard if you work as most around here do. You just have to be patient? What? gotta have it now? Learn some damn patience

This is obviously in reference to someone else, I've already said many times I could drop the $600 to buy a PS3 right now if I wanted to, but I have zero interest in the console. If blu-ray doesn't turn out to be a complete failure and PS3 actually gets some games that will raise more than a "meh, pretty but boring" in me, and if I ever actually get a HDTV; then I'll buy a PS3, full-price even. The problem with the price is that it's not worth the cost now, in a year from now is an entirely different story, but people who are frothing at the mouth over getting a PS3 when pretty much all you're going to do is play your PS2 games on it(and not even all of them), you can't seriously call that a great buy.

PS3 has some things in the plus column, but there's a lot in the minus they have to deal with before it takes the #1 slot.

Because PMs between the only two people on QCDN that have PS3s would be more efficient. m i rite? m i rite?

OHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHH SSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSNAP

that and it turned out to be fact, pretty much.

Except that Wii also sold out, despite the significantly higher supply. WHERE'S YOUR GOD NOW

I acknowledge that Baja. I know sony's fucked up. I'm not doubting it. That's why I've said I have no care to buy a PS3 anytime soon. I realized awhile back that it takes any system about a year to really get enough to interest me. After the PS1/N64 releases (though I think N64 had more games that interested me at the time then PS1 did iirc at release) I realized there might have been 1-2 or a few more games that interested me but not enough to get it and not wait a bit longer. Why I didn't buy the first day PS2 was out though I still bought really early. It was one of the first models that supposedly had problems. Even then I saw I should have waited longer as there weren't too many games to keep me entertained. I agree with you a lot, they need to work on their bad. They are as far as I can see. They haven't had the same problems as they've had with the PS2 release. The backwards compatible thing (as far as I've seen) was only with the japanese release and they seem to have fixed it or it wasn't as much a problem for international/US games for some reason. People at my college who got it haven't had problems with any games yet and they tried a few before being fine. Sony did say it was entirely software issue that they had an update coming (if it hasn't yet). More units being produced and sent out. Bad games? well right now.. nothing too interesting in my opinion other than resistance. But in the near future seems there'll be plenty coming out for the PS3 to interest me. White Knight Story, MGS 4, FFXIII, GTA IV, etc. The only major issue I see is the problem with some of the PS3s not working 100% and I'm not sure what the problem is there. I don't remember reading if it was software, hardware or both. Nor am I sure if they said they are gonna be able to fix it anytime soon. That's the big problem for me (as I'm sure it is for others) that I see about the PS3. I wouldn't doubt they'll fix it soon though if not already having produced working units getting ready to ship. But I'll just wait and see about that.

As for the N64 thing, I've seen that.. but it seems many game producers are still working with Sony for games. I don't really know of any game company right now that has completely withdrawn working with Sony. So that problem might not come as it did with the N64. Though, yes, I do see it as a possibility if the creators think they must use the blu-ray disc and don't want to produce them. But I think they know they don't have to use Blu-Ray, that PS3 can run HD DVD discs.

As for low supply increasing demand? It might increase the demand for some, I don't doubt that. It might help them control costs of production a bit better. I dunno. Does it mean they left a lot wanting one without? yes.. but it's not like it won't be too long before a new shipment comes in. It was the same with the PS2.

As for the Wii selling out, I know when I went in to the gamestop yesterday with my friend to browse they had some left there for sale so it doesn't seem to have completely sold out (though they did ship so many more than sony so I am not saying that sony selling out completely means they are better.. no.. not at all..I recognize sony only sold completely out cause they had shipped so few compared to Nintendo). Though, I don't doubt those will be sold out before the end of the week.. hell.. maybe before thanksgiving.

Anyways, I don't really have a problem with you Baja.. it's more others that have constantly bashed sony and have completely ignored anything good of Sony or that they are working on the problems. Newer technology tends to have unforseen problems more than older technology upgraded. Prolly should give them some slack there. I don't see why can't give them some slack and time to work on the bugs. Those that bought right off the bat should have known the risks as the pattern has been seen before. If any system has a huge major flaw where it can't perform at all (or in such a poor way that it is unbearable) well.. I'm sure Sony would replace a system. I've read of people having their PS2's being replaced by Sony on some forums. Though, I can't really say that it is a fact.. as it isn't from a reliable source. Hell, you have to admit.. even a system not running at 100% still runs a hell of a lot of calculations per second regardless.

SmashMy___ began with ipod and Xbox360. The PS3 one wasn't the first. -_-

This is between the Wii and the PS3 getting smashed. Old news has no place here.

They laughed and cheered cause the PS3's destruction was made popular in advance.

It was made popular by SmashMyXbox a year ago. You REALLY don't like being corrected, do you?

so you don't agree fanboism in general is retarded? :\ I find it to be. So many seem to think I've been a sony fanboy but I'm not. I had prefered there systems for awhile. Right now Wii's style of play interests me but doesn't have many games that interests me. PS3's got power and potential but lacking games that interest. XBox 360 has some games that interest me but nothing yet to get me committed. I only try and point out the good of a product when people are so set on only focusing on the bad.. bitching over and over about the bad and denying any belief that ANY good could come from it. If I really was a Sony fanboy like people said I'd have gone and been an idiot in that "Wii can't read my disc" thread laughing and whatnot. Making fun of Nintendo, but I didn't. So stupid how things are these days with the fanboism ;\

I think the word fanboi, in general, is retarded. I think the usage of the word is retarded and that it should never be used. Usually the only people yelling fanboi! is the person "fanboizing (lolword)" something else. Vicious cycle and everyone in it should be killed, twice.
