Mairuzu Posted September 9, 2006 Share Posted September 9, 2006 Can you guys in america preorder consoles yet? I already preordered 2 of them quite a while back, going to sell both of them. Hopefully make a bit of money =) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Bahamut Posted September 9, 2006 Share Posted September 9, 2006 Most places aren't taking any preorders here after the news that there would likely be a shortage. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Stealthshark Posted September 12, 2006 Share Posted September 12, 2006 Thought I'd buck the trend and post some optimistic news about the PS3 for a change. http://www.1up.com/do/newsStory?cId=3153547 A smart move on Sony's part IMO. This round of the console wars just keeps getting more and more interesting. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Bahamut Posted September 12, 2006 Share Posted September 12, 2006 Whoa, that is hot indeed. +1 Sony (for a change) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SilverStar Posted September 13, 2006 Share Posted September 13, 2006 Hey, that's pretty good news. It'll be interesting, should the PS3 actually recover. And, of course, it'll mean MS will try to enhance the Live experience to match or exceed the Xfire presentation. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ero Elohim Posted September 13, 2006 Share Posted September 13, 2006 Not to bash on the PS3, but I figured I'd throw this here. I was just up at my local EB, trying to get a copy of Megaman ZX (and failing), when a lady walked in with her son. They walked up to the counter and talked about a return or something, which my friend working there gladly provided. Her son then asked, kinda offhand, if EB knew when the PS3 was releasing. When he got the reply ("November 17th. Were you interested in reserving one? Price is scheduled to be $599."), it was almost tangible how much that hit everyone standing near the counter. I believe the mother's exact words were "You have got to be kidding me?!" Related to the story, I'm not a user of Xfire, so I don't know how good this is. It's clear that Sony needed a leg up in this area, so this'll make things interesting. I wonder if they have a promotional thing going with Xfire's PC service or if the services will connect in anyway. It'd be cool if they allowed people to communicate with PC users via the PS3.

SilverStar Posted September 13, 2006 Share Posted September 13, 2006 Oh, well damn. Look at the updates to the story. UPDATE II: Sony Computer Entertainment America responded to the below report with the following statement: "We can confirm that Sony Online Entertainment is in talks with Viacom and Xfire for a single, specific PS3 game. However, there are no announcements at this time regarding any discussions between SCEA, Viacom and Xfire." Looks like Xfire is only gonna see the light of day in a single game. So much for the hopes of having a single, unified online gaming service. Looks like it's going to be little more than the mishmash seen on the PS2, at this point.

Stealthshark Posted September 13, 2006 Share Posted September 13, 2006 Odd. Perhaps Sony is using Dark Kingdom as a testing ground for the service, with plans to incorporate it more extensively in the future if it succeeds. If this is the case, then Playstation owners can at least look forward to the possibility of a comprehensive online plan from Sony in the not-too-distant future. Now if only we knew exactly how Nintendo was going to handle their online services... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
CE Posted September 13, 2006 Share Posted September 13, 2006 Now if only we knew exactly how Nintendo was going to handle their online services... It's probably gonna be that awkward mess of friend codes and tough times setting up matches. Which really takes away from the online. On a side note, Sony using XFire is a boost to them.

Stealthshark Posted September 13, 2006 Share Posted September 13, 2006 Here is something interesting for anyone paying any attention to the PS3. I disagree with their assertion that all launch games suck. Super Mario World, Mario 64, and Halo come to mind off the top of my head. Also, since when are Pepsi and Coke considered energy drinks?

Bigfoot Posted September 13, 2006 Author Share Posted September 13, 2006 Yeah, that article kind of sucked. I didn't read it all, but it was mostly like : Some people say THIS bad thing about the PS3, but this good thing will happen! Then again and again.

SilverStar Posted September 22, 2006 Share Posted September 22, 2006 *drags thread from bottom of page 2* Hey, look! Sony's dropping the price of the El Cheap-o PS3 in Japan.. and adding more stuff to it. http://www.gamespot.com/news/6158155.html?tag=latestnews;title;4 So, the only difference in that massive $200 price span between versions, is that you get an extra 40GB drive space and a memory card reader? ...-why- is Sony releasing 2 different models of the PS3, now? Seems to me it'd be cheaper for production, and a much better move if they just made a single model with all the features, for ~$450. At this point, there's really no valid reason to buy the higher end model, since you could just grab an external HDD for ~$80 with 200GB storage, and an external multi card reader, to hook up through the USB.

Doesn't the high end PS3 have HD connections and other ports that the regular version doesnt? If it's just a difference in HD space and the card reader I might go for the cheap version.

JoeFu Posted September 22, 2006 Share Posted September 22, 2006 They added the HDMI thingy on the cheapo version too, so you win Evilhead, no need for a 900 dollar system. White Knight story looks really cool. I've always wanted a game where you can transform, but was the video realtime? It just looked like a trailer with a thing at the bottem... The video just didn't really look like a battle, but a scene, but that's just me. http://anon.psjp.speedera.net/anon.psjp/tgs06/high/h_whiteknight.wmv Link to said White Knight Story video.

I'll pick up a Japanese PS3 at launch if I can. I think I can deal with less hard drive space and spend the extra cash on games. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Baleshadow Posted September 22, 2006 Share Posted September 22, 2006 I'll likely get a PS3 around this time next year, when some more interesting games become available. As it is, I don't think I could afford both this and a Wii without some major sacrifices. I can wait. And really, I don't think it would enjoyable divvying up my time between two new consoles. But damn, does MGS4 look enticing. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Hearing that, I think I might actually buy a PS3 before an XBox 360 if that price change comes over to the US. $400 for a PS3, or even $430, would be really worth it.

JoeFu Posted September 22, 2006 Share Posted September 22, 2006 The price drop is Japan only and they have confirmed that it is Japan only. We are getting screwed over here. Also demos are to cost $1 each... I'll go find the sources and add them in later. http://www.worthplaying.com/article.php?sid=37312&mode=thread&order=0&thold=0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
