Playstation3 is a Steal?

I've been in bed recovering from 21/2 days of an endurance test lol.
Make sure i dont get sick.
My bro just left to buy some games. The system only came with a blu-ray copy of Taladaga nights (sp?)
I really didnt do any research on this thing at all, other than how much i can get on ebay. Dont even know what games are out yet.

Im waiting for the Wii :)
 
I just heard some guy in Tennessee got shot and killed waiting in line for a PS3... apparently, somebody decided to hold up the line with a gun and when this guy refused to hand over his money, he was shot. Anyone else hear of this?
 
Well after playing a friend's PS3 and Xbox 360 together this weekend, I have to admit that you are getting what you pay for. The graphics potential is much better on the PS3, although a few games I saw haven't pulled out all of the stops yet. Two of the best examples are the Call of Duty 3 comparison and the upcoming Muhammad Ali game. The Ali screenshots are night-and-day different, with the PS3 as the obvious winner.

Personally, I prefer PC games for the quality, resolution, controller possibilities and modding capability. However, the PS3 is impressive. Blu-Ray is nice, but if I can't master my stuff to the format yet I don't want it. Sheesh, I don't even have an HDTV yet.

The forthcoming PS3 game called Assassins looks incredible, and as a huge fan of the similar Thief series, this should be a good game.

If you prefer thumb controller-based systems, then this is definitely the best looking of the bunch. I heard that the 360 has 1080i as a spec, but the current output port only supports 720p? Does that mean that Microsoft will be selling some crazy adapter to make more money? I'm not sure since I'm no HD expert.

I heard this exact same thing but in Connecticut. It was a guy from Massachusetts that took the short drive down to wait in line and the line got robbed, the guy said no and a kid shot him in the chest. There were two guys holding up the line, one had a shot gun and the other just a hand gun.

I will eventually get a PS3, it won't be any time soon but will most likely favor that over the 360. If PS3 doesn't really have any good exclusive games, I may go w/ the 360. I think that the ps3 is really more so a next generation gaming system, more than the 360.
 
Hmm, word is PS3 has some kind of scaling bug because its meant to do 720P, if you have as set that does not do 720P and only 1080i then it forces and spits out 480P BUT it should be fixed in a software update (unless this is old news and its already been done)

So for now if your HDTV is 1080i only then get a 720P to see how PS3 really looks like

You would think that they would have tested everything time and time again and made sure it worked every way before releasing it. I know they wanted to get it out before 'the holiday season' but they should have had everything fixed first instead of having to download updates, which i don't want to do when I get one, which'll be in a long time.
 
well its not a major problem, Just that if you have a HDTV that ONLY supports 1080i input only then does it get 480P.

But sony have said that the update will fix it.
