I think the important thing with PS3 is it could do very very well. It's got the web browser and people are saying, 'yeah big deal' but it's the philosophy behind it, the fact that you can go to any site...That shows a very different [approach]. It's not a narrow gateway, highly controlled by one person. A game can drive you to a specific site for that game, with tons of stuff to download for it for example. I think that is very very positive. |

The PS3 is a gaming console and more it's your ultimate entertainment solution. With all the things a PS3 can do on top of playing great games it's well worth that price tag imo.
no HD- DVD addon atm
You make my day. It's a good one....ahahahah!
come this time next year and youll wish sony had a hddvd add on.
You can install Linux on a PS3. That's the only thing an XBOX 360 can't do right now. There will be a web browser for XBOX 360 via the next dashboard update. With what you save on an XBOX, you can buy a separate computer. You can easily get a nice PC for cheaper than a PS3. Also, is it worth $2300 for a "cheap PC" or does that even qualify as cheap? It will be 5 months before it is easily available for retail price if it's anything like XBOX 360.
that guy looks like Tom hahahaha
that's how look at it, I'll jump at any chance not to have to use my godforsaken PC.
Sony as made a good machine and It's open for everything (homebrew-app.-web-etc.)So they don't have to care about the future. If anything happen they have a foot on it.
So this is what I'm really thinking.
1)Gamers are not fools, homebrew and OS change can't lie. Infinite possibilities!
2)Microsoft is playing catch up to PS3. With all new announces like: 1080p, video and movie download, HD-dvd Add-on, etc.. It's a sign of weakness. If they had balls they would have stick with there games and XBL (this is what xbox gamers want). No really...who as an X360 and care about HD-DVD add-on and 1080p..... After those announces the xbox360 sale didn't double?...curious
3)The Wii is the black card... A mystery. Lots of peoples have been fool by the media hype. But for how long... Sure mario and Zelda kick ass but it's a Gamecube with a new controller for 250$. They could have made simply the Wiimote for the Gamecube...No?
Anyway David Barben as a rational view of the PS3. And his right.
So people who own an XB360 don't care about 1080p and HD-DVD?.... So if thats right, then PS3 owners shouldn't care about 1080p or Blu-Ray either.. since their targeting the same market
you can buy a computer more powerful than the ps3 for less than $600. And this guy is jerkin off over a web browser, ***** you can browse the web on a PSP, DC, DS, xbox, etc maybe I just missed the point.
u ALSO get a PS3 tho !!!!
ur forgetting-that -
u do get (the cheapish PC) ....
BUT the MOST POWERFUL CONSOLE TO DATE !
600 bucks for a super computer is a small price to ask for.
600 bucks for a all-in-one multimedia solution is a small price to ask for.
600 bucks for a super computer, multimedia hub and next generation gaming console is a small price to ask for.
You're right, $600 is a small price to ask for all of those features.
Too bad the PS3 is none of those.
Especially a super computer. I'll be damned if the PS3 is a "super" computer. It's barely a computer, at that, and to call it a "super" computer?
No. The PS3 is a powerful machine. A powerful console. But it's not a computer.
"but it's not a computer" well even a calculator is a computer so your wrong for saying that.
Yes it is an all-in-one multimedia solution.
"When you put it together with the fact that it supports a keyboard and things like that, people may start to regard it more as a cheap PC than an expensive console."
The GameCube has a keyboard, used for playing online games like Phantasy Star. Nobody ever bothers to remark on that claim.
you can install linux on it, you could go as far as place the system on your desktop, hook it up to a computer monitor with a mouse and keyboard, and you got yourself a really high-end linux pc...there might be a hack to even install windows on it eventually. Imagine hooking up the xbox 360's HD-DVD drive on it using the windows drivers! Since it supports linux that also means you can play emulators on it even (snes, genesis, etc). This aspect of the system might make sony come out ahead. Microsoft is using Windows to support the xbox, Sony is retaliating by using linux to support their ps3.
