The unlockables thing was stupid,the idea of pay 800U$Dollars to have the full game was crazy and? sucked as well.

PS3 F1






The Rain Efect

[gun]

I have the PS3 and I can tell you it is great.  It is a really solid unit and the games that were available on launch are already the best I've seen on any platform although I will give credit to the Xbox as it is certainly comparable. 

Everyone has their own picks and will argue if the PS3 is worth more but I must (in my opinion, of course) say it is.  If you are comparing the Xbox 306 graphics with the PS3 without hooking an HDMI cable to the back of the PS3 and connecting it to an HDTV you are missing it's true beauty.  The graphics are amazing.  Call of Duty and Resistance are amazing to see in HDTV.  Xbox's only real competitor is Gears of War...incredible game within it's own right.

I've read reviews saying the PS3's Madden is a direct port but it is not.  For one huge thing the graphics are cleaned up even more, the movement of the players is much more realistic and you can challenge plays...big deal to some of us!

If you can't get a PS3 right now the Xbox is the closest thing.  If you are more into role playing you may enjoy the Wii...it isn't on the level of the other two systems but at 250 bucks it would definitely get you by.

Those are some awesome game photos for F1.

I would love to get my hands on a copy of that!  The NBA 07 also must be seen on the PS3 linked to an HDTV via HDMI cable to be believed!!  It is bar none the best looking sports game I have ever seen.  If any of you have any doubts about this machine take it from someone who has played it for hours and isn't just speculating...it is incredible!!

It is very quiet running as well, even moreso than the Xbox.  The machine cost Sony 840.00 each to make and you buy it for 599.00 and tax (for the 60 GB) or 499.00 and tax (for the 20 GB)... it's worth it.  Keep in mind that these are first generation games as well.

I know this is PS3 but with all the racing game talk I had to thrown in a few pics from a game I am highly looking foward to.

Forza Motorsport 2 for the 360 is coming along nicely. I think it looks good and it is running at 60 fps unlike the first one so that should be pretty bad ass!?

More PS3 F1

I have a 360 but man, that looks amazing!  I love the water effect.

Security?  Security? We don't need no fucking security!

PS3 has no security to prevent you from coping a blu-ray movie or PS3 game directly to your hard drive.  Its so stupidly simple through linux that people are wondering how nobody could of figured this out durring production.  Its basically a simple copy comand.

Anyone else heard that unless you have a HDTV that can handle the 1080p, the PS3 will only let you play games in 480 resolution? Pretty good if you have one, if you don't on the other hand ...

That's not EXACTLY true.  The truth is that, if your TV is capable of 1080i only (and not 1080p or 720p) it will not scale the images to 1080i....and you're left with 480p.

Most of the sets that would be effected would be considered relatively old, and are a relatively small number compared to the number of HDTV sets as a whole.  It's still an issue, for sure, and something Sony should have addressed, but it's not THAT dramatic an error.

1up Bashes the PS3

http://www.1up.com/do/feature?pager.offset=0&cId=3155393

Theres like 2 and 1/2 pages of all the titles that are shared on both systems side by side.  Whats funny is that they are right, you really can't see much of a difference, and some of the games like COD3 looks better on the 360.  And yes the graphic are important when all you do for the last year is talk about how awesome your new consoles graphics are going to be... it matters when they flat out look worse or about the same to a console that costs $200 dollars less.

Its not only 1up thats bashing them. IGN.com has stated on every game thats released on the 360 and ps3 that graphics are very similar and sometimes better on the 360. But at the same time I feel we have to remember, its barely off of launch and these are first gen games on a very powerfull system that is supose to be very hard to program for. Also their saying that a few games were just ported over with no "real" changes made because of time constraints.

 The real competition isn't really what happens this holiday season, but what happens next holiday season when developers have more time to get use to the PS3's hardware. I'm anxious too see where the 360 is in comparision because I own a 360 and at this time don't plan on purchasing a PS3 but it will be very interesting what next years holiday games have to offer for the ps3 when developers can take a little more time with the system.?

I also can't wait to see how the new Ghost Recon looks in comparision with the 360 because the last one looked amazing on the 360. We only have to wait till spring to find out this comparision, and I can't wait.

Words of wisdom right thar ...
That's a long time to wait for the premium station games tho ...

What great games came out for the 360 this time last year??? I only bought 2 games at launch and that was COD2, which I still play and love and Madden 06, which sucked. I played a waiting game till I got Oblivion and Ghost Recon. 360's lauch was wasn't filled with great games. There's an article on ign.com that does a one year retrospective on the 360 and I think it hits the nail on the coffin. ?

Heres the address for the article, in case your interested:? ? ?http://xbox360.ign.com/articles/747/747459p1.html

i badly wanna get a ps3, especially when the new GTA comes out.. but ever since i decided to get a life i have no time for games anymore 
i almost ruined my education because of my addiction to games and can honestly say i would rather be studying, working, partying, or working out or some kind of sport (something where u benefit).  any of those beats gaming for me.  but damn i really wanna play the new grand theft auto....

You know that XBOX360 gets GTA4 also right? At the same time as PS3

It means my biggest incentive except MGS4 for getting a PS3 is gone, but I'll get it anyway.

Theres big big rumors flying around that MGS4 will end up on Xbox 360 too. Not at the same time as PS3 but their saying within 6 months to a year, you'll see it on 360. So i'm happy about that.
