ps3?!!coming this year?

[FantasySoul]

I heard it from the guy techtv's ScreenSaver that ps3 will be out this year!!

[i3OSS]

i thought it comes out in 2005..?

[Spyda]

i also heard 2005, which means look forward to about 2006

they arent likely to rush something 16 times as powerful as a PS2 for a deadline

[homer15]

i've read articles that it's in 2005 as well. i don't think they could release something that isn't anywhere near ready yet. it's sony, not microsoft.

[drew.]

Sony, ibm ,and another company are teaming up on the project(as latest reports have said). And its not to come out till 2005.

[juppy]

2005 is when I heard too.

[calmius]

Haha! And even then I won't buy it!

[i3OSS]

i wont either computer games will always have the best graphics so keep dreaming ps3

[sam21]

Computer Gaming < Console Gaming IMO

just look at it from all perspective...price,gameplay,game titles,price

[muTe]

gameplay is the same from a computer or a console... graphics are far better with a comp.. and the price.. computer games are free and you pay 80$ for a single game on a console? is it fun to browse the internet with a console? write word documents? I don't think so... I would like to see the day consoles will do everything a computer can do.. eh!

the console will be way overpriced until about march 2007

[Favre]

[sleepypost]

[Spyda]

"PS3 realease date" in big words

nah, its a reality Sony owns the gaming industry... plus its not about the graphics... the gameplay what good is a pretty gmae with a corny plot or no purpose?

[Spyda]

That's a wee bit exaggerated. When I used to play computer games they were always in the $45 - $55 range. Games for the PS2 are running around $40-$50 where I live. I don't see much difference in price there. Plus, even when the newest console system first comes out, it's still less than half the price of a new PC.
Yeah, the graphics may be a little better on the computer, but the PS2 has plenty of clear and flashy graphics for me (and I'm pretty picky when it comes to that). And with a console you don't have to bother with all the setup (what drivers, which version of DirectX, how much memory, is my processor too slow?). Just drop the disk in and start playing.

[muTe]

yea that is one point every console has the same hardware so games can use their full potential. for the 80$ , it's in canadian dollars, so a 50$ US game is actually 80 here. and about games, I know we must not talk about this in this forum, but you know, you can find ANYTHING on the net ... heh. (I don't say it's good, but if a game is really good, I go and buy it) but anyway. yea the base price is higher for a computer, but you can do alot more things with it. thats why I prefer that.. anyway it's a personnal choice there is no one better than another let's not start a war here lol

and the drivers and directx thing.. I love to configure my comp and all these things so when it crashes i'm frustrated and im proud when I can repair it by miyself lol

i do that with mine, except from the installing bit

[juppy]

Dim3x > My apologies on the $80 remark. I didn't know you meant Canadian dollars (your location says Trash Can ).

exactly,jus plug and play,literally,not plug,find drivers,download,get better drivers and then play

Which have more titles available, a single console or a PC?

I like a PC for gaming because you can add mods to the games and the hardware.

[muTe]

bah, for the people like me who like to configure his comp like he wants and always get the best from their rigs, computer games will probably fit them best. For those who wants to play and just play, then console his for them only a matter of opinion and the way you want it thats it hehe

dim3x

force_flow2002: you're right on this one, mods and hardware modding is a real part that makes it more fun and amusing in the computer world. you could still mod your PS2 but.. like I said you *could*

You've got to remember, at one time, they were the best of the best. Some people still like playing them.

[Spyda]

try adding another arena to UT2003 on a console, whats that? you cant?

[ILLPHIL]

IMHO you dont need PS3 if you have PS2. Its good enough allready, and no need to spend all the extra money

[Spyda]

everyone always wants the best, i think its human nature

or bragging rights?

Rob: hey shall we go round to mine and play GT3?
Everyone: why not got nothing else to do
Jim: well, do you wanna come round to mine and play on my PS3?
Everyone: er YES!!

[sam21]

I have to add this too,computer gaming is WAY more expensive than you think,how much is a good gaming rig $1000+??

You can get a console,TV,small desktop stereo,and games for that price

[Spyda]

mine will play any game i put on it, £500

you cant get a PS2 with a couple of games and a decent TV for that, never mind a stereo aswell
