Next gen rant thread

**shadowprophet** · May 24th, 2006, 05:14

Heres the deal.
The price of next gen consoles is unworldly

To ice that cake over the price of games are riseing

The reason for this that was given, is that we will pay it because we are fans

For me this is very frustrating,
First of all, to get full benifit out of our over priced next gen consoles, we are told we need hd tvs now

And say what you will about hdtv, but not everbody owns one at this time

Oh and heres a funny lil thing thats happening.
With Final fantasy 13, its gonna come out in three versions!!
Three versions for the same console. kind of like they did with those zelda games for game boy color? except square actuelly exspects us to buy all three versions of that game to get the full story

and get this at 70 dollars a pop

What happened to the whole reason the price of games was going up, was because of the technology!! and so the developers could offer us more content? and now they wanna charge us three times for one freaking game?!!!
When the blue ray formay offers 50+ gigs storage space?!

My opions are opinions of anger mixed with disgust..

What are your thoughts on next generation?
Comments please?

This thread seems more like another cheap shot at the PS3 if you ask me SP. I just don't undestand everyone's frustration about the PS3. Its really not that expensive for what you get.

Have you really looked at whats happening next gen?
The price of consoles and systmes have doubled

Fo no other reason then people are so adicted to video games they will pay them

And these major companys know it.
Kaiser your my bro,
But if you think the riseing cost of games and consoles are justifyed, You need some sort of medication brother

It doesnt urk you that developers like square are bringing out three versions of the same game on the same console?
Us collectors are hit and hit hard by this. were obligated to buy them, really

That may be true but it is still expensive. People will pay a high price for consoles already and from what i've seen most will pay 300 but anything above that is getting ridiculous and don't get me wroung i will get a PS3 eventually. Its just that thats alot to pay up frount for a game system even if it is a deal. Know what i mean.

I'm gona stick with Nitendo till the price of the PS3 and the Xbox 360 comes down and when I get a HDTV. I will get all 3, but it might be awhile. And about the 3 versions of FF XIII....... that is plan retarded.

**stotheamuel** · May 24th, 2006, 05:38

[QUOTE=Kaiser]My PS2 cost me 500 dollars. You think that is ridiculous?[QUOTE=Kaiser]

Yes it is. You don't seem to realize that that is Half a grand with no games basic console and a remote.
Lets say you get 3 games just three thats another $180 and a couple of wireless remotes thats another $100 oh and i forgot what about sales tax thats another $88 US money unless your lucky and don't live in an area where you have to pay sales tax. That comes out to a total of $968 bucks aloung with anything else you might buy for it so its over $968 bucks for a console a few games and some remotes.You can buy an Xbox 360 and a Wii and some games and it will still be less than a PS3. So back to your question "You think that is ridiculous?" Yes, yes i do.

BTW Kaiser no offence just showing the facts. I like the PS3 and i will get eventually i have just been tryin to explain to you why people have been complaining about it.
