Thank god its not what we thought!

But then again http://www.engadget.com/entry/1234000777069519/

It's like a soap opera!

$500 - $700 for a PS3 will be more than worth it. With all the things they're putting on it, and the probability of it running Linux and so being able to be used as a Home Computer, not just a Home Media Centre, well, you pay more than $500 for a good PC don't ya?

$700 is just over £400. Computers over here, good ones at any rate, start at around £600. For something way cheaper, but far more powerful, heck, who wouldn't?

But who believes that Sony will take the M$ approach and release more than 1 console version? I don't.

EDIT: Hahahaha! I've just had a wicked thought.

PSP plays films on it's weird little UMD thingies yeah? Halo: The Movie is coming out sometime right? Who else thinks that it'll be released on UMD when it moves to DVD stage? He he he! A M$ game turned into a film and available to watch on a rivals machine! Then again the 360 can connect to a PSP, so it'll just be Sony's way of getting back at them.

360 doesnt do shit witht he ipod or psp.....all it does is be able to play music or pictures off it...whats the point of that? you can't even save the music to the hdd =/

I hope PS3 has locationfee TV included in it....that way I can stream TV to my PSP anywhere I have a Wifi connection

Yes but then you have to ask yourself is it nearly as powerful as a computer? I think not, but still if they decide to put more than one version on the market then I might get it cause my computer can already do all of that stuff I just want better graphics on consoles not 200$ worth of options.

BTW the only reason computers cost so much is because the labor charge why do think they are getting so cheap now with all the jobs of putting these things together being in other countries?

It's killing me here a computer jumped from 4000$ to 1500$ and just the other day when I called customer support I was patched through to a guy in India.

Yeah.. same here when I called up AOL. I'd rather pay a little more and get someone who knows what the fuck they are doing.


(yes.. I know aol sucks. My dad refuses to stop using it though. meh

When I was upgradeing the video card in my comp I called HP to find out something about my comp and the guys all "*indian acsent(sp?)*Well, sir I can help you but for me to help you, you need to pay $50 for a year of tech support. It is the best" me interupting" what? i need like 5 seconds of help" he pauses thens"It is the best way and the only way i can help" by this time i'm kinda pissed cause he pauses a lot and i'm on my cell phone which i almost always go over my miniutes=\ "ok fuck you stupid little arab thanks for nothing" *click*...

ahh feels good to vent....i talked to a white friend of mine helped me for free/ in 5 seconds

The PS3's graphics put the Xbox's to shame, I was reading in an article where Allard (Xbox's bitchass 'spokesperson') said that graphics should only go so high blah blah, saying the PS3 is putting in too much hardware that they don't need.

Bullshit, the more the better. We're American, we want more!

But the graphics chip (when the PS3 was still being designed) was like 10x the graphics potential of the 7200GTE (PCI express card, I think 7200 something..). Which is amazing. People have been saying the graphics are very close to reality, and from shots from E3 it's geared up to be the fucking shiznit. Just for gaming.

And then you have the secondary computer concept. Which is also very pheonomenal . All of the media functions that go along with it, the UBER stoarge on the Blu-rays that they are using and the fact that it's playstation is enough for the fanboy in me to put back a little of each paycheck solely for this console. Actually, I've had enough for it for a long time, just waiting for it to drop and it's MINE BITCHES!
