The 10 Reasons that Sony messed up with the PS3

[DPyro]

The Blu-ray drive is still faster than DVD drives. It's just not the fastest Blu-ray drive.

[de.silva89]

Really? I've never heard anyone complain about the weight. As for the Drives, the Wii and Xbox 360 load fast. Crazy fast.

Like I've said before, the PS3 had potential. Well, it HAD potential, anyway...

Yes but you're forgetting something, look at the XBOX 360, what drive does it have, it has a F**king DVD drive, not HD-DVD, yes you can get it seperately but thats slow too, new formats are always slow, thats all i'm sayin, the reason xbox has a fast drive "Crazy fast" is because the technology has had more work put into it, its been around for longer, now I could argue till I'm blue in the face about rediculous bullsh** like this but I know for a fact the PS3 is an overall better console because I have BOTH of them.

[**1_Man_Matrix**]

**Sigh**

My friends that own 360's think the PS3 rocks. They are quite happy to come over and blaze through Resistance with me, and are even a little jealous that they can't have it on there system, but they never slag on my PS3, ever.

Likewise, I don't mind a few rounds of Halo co-op and other games I can't get my hands on. It's a shame and I'm a tad jealous I can't have Perfect Dark:Zero, I loved the original. But I don't slag on their 360's...

Point is, If your immature and just plain stupid enough to Slag on either system, you have no idea about either of them. Go study the specs. I mean intensly. And even at the end of the day, you still feel one system is better, you damn well better appreciate the other one.

I Love my PS3, wouldn't trade it for the world. I am NOT going to buy a 360. But damn the 360 is an awesome system.

Like I said, go study the specs. But not to figure out which system is better, do it instead, to gain an appreciation of both.

**Sigh** I'm a tad jealous I can't have Perfect Dark:Zero, I loved the original.

Don't be. Perfect Dark Zero was the worst let-down I've ever had in a game

And yeah I love playing Resistance. I go to my friends house and play it. Wouldn't mind having that game either. But the PS3 wasn't very good in any of the other games I played.

Like I've said before, the PS3 has amazing potential to be equal, maybe BETTER then the others. But, so does the 360 and the Wii. The key lies within the company more then the system. My thoughts have always been Nintend>Microsoft>Sony. I loved Sony for the PS2 and PSP, but then they started acting wierd...

Wow, what a load of garbage...

10. This seriously is the most retarted complaint I have ever heard I dont even have a comment for it except that Im glad its #10 on your list.

9. This will eventually be made at some point, and personally I never even noticed it missing cause its such a small detail anyway.

8. Since the beggining of time systems have always... ALWAYS! given you just your basic video cables. If they gave you HDMI cables then what would people without HDMI do? Oh I guess you want all the cables in 1 box huh. Maybe they should throw in some component cables as well. I didnt see anything wrong with this and was happy to buy a cheap ass HDMI cable on my own.

7. As far as the Wii goes this was completely unexpected. Nobody expected that system to do so well and up to almost the last month before it came out everybody was mocking the Wii saying how bad it was going to be and that a gimmick like that would never last. So just like anything else in life you never know whats going to happen.

6. LOL I love being put down! Go Sony! Telling me how it is.

5. Didn't xbox do this?

4. I had fun with what they had to offer and its actually exciting to see what they come out with next. As for Home that was probably the best idea they ever had! Releasing it at the end of the year makes them almost gaurenteed to sell more systems just because they will have something no other system will have and people will want to try it and have it cause thats what people do. Everybody's curious about the next new thing!

3. It was not the best launch ever but the games that were availible were fun and unlike all those spoiled game reviewers this was the first time I got to see and experience true HD gaming which totally blew my mind. Some people still arent used to seeing such beautiful visuals and that alone was fantastic.

2. I love games and play them constantly. So you say Im not a gamer because I love blue-ray movies? talk about having your own opinion on what you believe people use this system for. Blue-ray movies look fantastic so to me it doesnt make sense why I would not want to use it for both gaming and movies. I did on PS2 and will much more on PS3.

1. I have a job! I dont know why 600 is such a huge price to pay. How much will you end up spending on a top of the line computer? If your into games then 600 is not a huge amount to invest for a complete multimedia center.

Bottem line is the PS3 along with a new TV is probably the best thing I have ever owned and no matter what anyone says I will continue to have a lot of fun doing whatever Sony plans on releasing. Now if only someone could get some homebrew on this dam thing now that would be fantastic!

Add the facts that:

4.Their ultimate console does not have enough RAM to support its power. As a result, the games have beter graphicks in X360!

Enough ram? Please elaborate... The PS3 has 256 megabytes of XDRAM running at CPU CLOCK SPEED (which makes it FAR FASTER than the Xbox's memory) and another 256 megabytes of ram designed for video.

The Xbox360 has only 512 megabytes of ram running 750mhz bus speed, which is shared for both video and cpu needs. Hmm, lets think about this a moment.... If such was feasible, efficient and better than the PS3's setup (which is how its done in computers) why would computers use it?

Point is, memory is not the issue whatsoever, as a matter of fact, the memory in the PS3 is better than that found in the 360, since the memory clock speed is more than 4x faster....

The disc read speed is also bull$#@!, as BDroms can read data around the center of the disc faster than a DVD drive can read data around its center. The only limiting factor is that BDRom is slower when reading towards the outside of the disc than a DVD can read. But this isn't really an issue, since more data can be stored on a Bluray in the same surface area than on a DVD, so while a DVD may have an average faster read speed while taking into account the entirety of the DVD, the entirety of a DVD can be stored towards the center of the Bluray disc, where it reads faster...

here is my one issue with ps3.

blue ray

take it out and the ps3 is like half as pricey and would then be WORTH THE MONEY.

stop forcing your beta max CRAP alternative attempts to own the market on us. blue ray has about as much chance and being the sole platform for movies as the beta max did.

get rid of it, price drops BIG, sales go up BIG.

[**1_Man_Matrix**]

Everybody's main complaint is the price. The thing's a freakin' bargain for the amount they managed to cram inside it... I don't feel jipped at all.

Now when you buy the HDD add on for the 360, (Which doesn't play any HDD games), your lookin' at almost the same price anyway?

Are people stupid or what? Like I keep saying, shut up and appreciate both machines.

[pibs]

so what if the ps3 doesn't have a good release line up, just watch sum blueray movies in the mean while and play games on ur 360 simple as that. no need for all that arguing, and if u dont have money buy a wii.
