PS3 Not until 2007?!
According to a ceratin "Wedbrush Morgan Securities" the PS3 may not be realeased until 2007, all due to how well the Xbox 360 is doing. They are basically saying that Sony want to wait a year to destroy the Xbox 360 by lowering PS2 prices (and so prolonging the life of the PS2, and making more profit on it) before releasing the PS3 in late 2006 or early 2007 and dash Microsofts hopes of becoming king of the computer console market.
Nice tactic, but do we wanna wait?! Quote:

If they can pull it off then Microsoft will suffer an amazing Black Eye, and we all wanna see that don't we?!
If they don't pull it off, well, serves them right for taking so long about it. I seem to remember reading (when the PS3 was gonna come out in Spring '06) that Microsoft were planning on dropping the Xbox 360 price at that time. Talking about Microsoft, I don't know if anybody has heard, but an Australian programmer has released bits of code of a virus that he has developed for Vista...already! Just over a year before it comes out and it's already under threat...:) |

I personally can't see what all the fuss about Halo is about. I've played through most of Halo 2 at a friends house and it doesn't seem that special to me.
Don't worry though, the Xbox 360 comes out way before the PS3, as will Halo 3 (probably) so you'll have ample tme to buy it, try it, beat it and so on before Sony try to look clever by crushing Microsoft. Chances are you'd also be able to download an emulator for the 360 and download Halo 3...heck, it might even come out on PC for you all...just buy a pad that connects to the computer that is like your Xbox one. And you can get them, believe me. |
While the single player campaign can be fun, that's not what keeps me playing Halo. It's the multiplayer over Xbox Live. Playing with gruesome, Titus, Tidus, S2 AM, glory, sue, steve, hurt, and the rest is what makes it so much damn fun. And if I were to download an emulator and an illegal copy of one of the Halos, then I wouldn't be able to connect to Xbox Live, and what would be the point?
|
And that's the only, ormain thing you ant the Xbox 360 for? Halo 3 online.
Fair enough. Anyway, if Microsoft do suffer a Black Eye they'll probably carry on what they're doing yet try some dirty tactic to come out on top. They won't stop production of the 360 or it's games.

Why do you want to see other systems fall so bad? If there is major competition between the systems, prices are lower, and the publishers and developers are making better games...
Now imagine this, Nintendo goes the way of Dreamcast, Xbox 360 gets destroyed by Sony and the only systems left are the Playstations... there would only be price cuts when a new system is getting ready to come out, and the game makers wouldnt have to make games that push the edge.... Now I sure as hell don't want the gaming equiv of WW2 with the germans winning, and Im sure no one else does either, so thats why I own PS2 PsP Xbox and computer and by games for all of them regulary(sorry Nintendo I still dont like you). I dunno thats all I can think of to say on the issue, but dont wish other systems to go away, it just hurts in the end. |
I jus don't like Microsoft much. And that's more or less it. If Microsoft hadn't made the Xbox, then chances are I would've liked it.
It's just the way they think they are the best and tehn try and muscle in on a market because it looks like fun. It used to be Apple leading the computer world, then Microsoft muscled in and now look. Sony led the console world for a decade or so, still are, but now Microsoft wants a piece of the action. I'm just waiting now for Microsofts answer to an MP3 player. Bet you anything it'll be like a palmtop and have XP or Vista on it. |

That's the same ting that stopped Microsoft however long ago right?
Didn't the try and by out Linux or something? I don't know that much about it...though I seem to think they were split into two companies? |
Yeah, Microsoft ran into that red tape a few years back. I don't remember the specifics of that particular situation. Regardless, the US government won't allow monopolies. It hinders economic productivity.

Monopolies ultimately destroy many things.

If PS2 didnt fail so badly in Multiplayer i might give a shit... 360 all the way. I mean, if I was into single player games like FF and stuff... man would I love the PS2, but i dont
|
Then the PS3 should suit you. Out of the box it can have up to 7 bluetooth controllers connected at once. And they say they're gonna make a real effort with playing online etc...but we'll just have to see about that.
And 3 ethernet ports (each 1 gigabit)...connect lots of PS3's together...say 4, times the 7 controllers...you could have the whole street racing you on things like Gran Turismo, each person in a seperate car. |
Wow really, 1 person in each car?!?!?! Im sooo sold now.... :rolleyes:
|
The new version of GT for the PS3 will have more than the 4 cars...the demos show something like 20. If they've programmed it in, then you can have a street of 20 racing nuts each in a separate car racing each other...without having to go online either. You'd just need three consoles and the 20 pads (each nut will probably have his or her own).
Whereas with the Xbox 360, you'd need 5 consoles, each with 4 wired or wireless pads...that is if you can connect a 360 to another 360 and so on.

Does the TV screen get split 7 ways for you too?
|
1 TV screen?!
Let's say it actually happened...you wouldn't use just one screen, you'd use 2 HD TV screens. Two screens would get split 7 ways. Maybe more than 2...Sony have announced that you will be able to connect 2, 1080i (I think it's 1080i) HD screens to the PS3 and have it like a Panarama view, but they haven't said whether you can have more than the 2. Still a long time until it finally comes out...plenty of tinkering time. It's a long shot, but one of the clever guys developing the PS3 may think "7 controllers...if they play multiplayer maybe they'd each want their own TV?". Probably not 7 screens when we finally get it...but I'm guessing more than 2. |
Still spliting more than 4 ways is retarded in my opinion... 7controllers for one console... sounds like its just a way to get people excited with realism that it just isnt great.
Go ahead and buy 7controllers and your two big TVs so you can crowd 7 people, 2 TVs to play one game |
