Actually if we look at the price:

PS3 - 2150
XBOX360 - 1550
Wii - 1550

PS3 is just extra 600. What is 600 if you're getting Blueray disc, Cell processor, slot drive, memory card reader, SACD, etc?

And 600 is just 3 game worth of money. Unless you really like Xbox Live! or Wii's dna, PS2 fanboy will sure stick to PS3. And PS2 install base is huge. PS3 will still win. rclxm9.gif

buying the games for PS3 oso expensive la that's why ppl stick with xbox 360 or Wii.  sweat.gif

Same price lar. I saw PS3 game rm200. Wii game also rm200. But xbox360 only rm150. So more or less lar. But PS3 game is BD.

you can find *p blu-rays mer? laugh.gif
original wii and xbox 360 games are even cheaper la
and about the PS3 being a good blu-ray drive, its not HDMI1.3 ready. tongue.gif
talk about a PS2 fanboy going the way of the mario laugh.gif the only reason i'll want a PS3 is GT5

Can't yet lar. But in the future, who knows. Future proof mah. Its HDMI 1.3 ready bro.

Good luck with that BS.

Hahaha, I'm just stating the fact.

QUOTE(alvintan84 @ Mar 9 2007, 10:10 AM)
The price of current ps3 is still expensive...althought i'm a ps3 fan, but because of few reason, i decide 2buy wii 1st...at least i can buy more games& enjoy the experince which u can't obtain from PS3...Maybe in future i'll get 360+PS3, who knows? laugh.gif
*
Where got expensive, its the same price bro. Just add RM600, u got BD player. Even for Xbox360, if you want to add HD DVD, u need to add rm600. So which one is more expensive? Its the same lar.


Added on March 9, 2007, 12:18 pmBy the way, the upside of buying PS3 is, there's not risk of getting 3ROD. PS3 is running cool and quiet (like AMD Cool n' Quiet). But XBox360 is hot and noisy. Wii games if for kids and graphics is pretty bad for new generation console. PS3 is the way of the future.

oh yes. If every game is on BD then it will magically becomes better!
Look at these "future proof" features from the original PS2:

Firewire - DEAD
HDD expansion slot - DEAD
Modem/LAN add-on - DEAD
Is that suppose to make games better? Or for that matter does anyone care about HDMI 1.3?
More like overhype "fact".
For what? You can't even find BD movies at your regular video shop. 5 years later maybe lah provided the format does not suffer premature death like Betamax.
Yet Wii outsold PS3.
*
Eh, u only write out future proof that is dead. DVD player is one of the future proof stuff. The reason DVD is successful is because of PS2 also.

Is game in BD, developer can make more powerful game. Its in the future.

HDMI 1.3 is the latest generation HDMI to transfer video and digital multichannel audio. Won't make game better. But for future LCD tv which some of you will buy.

It doesn't need 5 years. Look at DVD. It just took 1 year to swamp the world with PS2. And DVD follows suit.

PS3 is not that much expensive than other console. We should support PS3 now.

Of course Wii outsold PS3. PS3 volumn is low. Ramp up is slow. Wii is easier to build. Ramp up easier. We'll see this in 1 year time. PS3 will be in a lot of people's home. BD will win. HD DVD will become betamax this time.

You can put more info in to the game. BD have larger storage than DVD. But HD DVD for Xbox360 is coming. To upgrade, the price of Xbox360 will be the same as PS3. So PS3 is not expensive at all.

i think many of us already agree,it's not as expensive as many people make it out to be,especially given the fact that it comes with a HDMI port and BD player...
Opps...I didn't know many of you agree PS3 is not expensive. If like that, I don't have to open a thread just to educate people that PS3 is really not expensive. Its actually cheaper than buying a BD player.

u really got no idea what ur talking about. XBOX is XBOX. PS3 is PS3.

data compression technology is getting better by the day.
im guessing how many 360 games will use HD DVD?.
correct me if im wrong about this statement.
*
if the thing u're saying is true, why we need HD-DVD/BD? As a matter of fact, if last time we're using CD, why we need DVD?

I wished I saved my copypasta on /v/.
Anyway, I don't see myself getting a PS3 anytime in the near future. Why?

- Very little games that interest me (Resistance and Motorstorm oh wow). No RPGs or action games. Later in the future, MGS4, FFXIII, DMC4... long way to release.
- Pricey
- Don't have a OMG L33t TV to play to it's full potential. Still using a 10-year old 30inch CRT.
- Lol, Blu-Ray. Even pirated Blu-Ray games will be expensive, and Blu-Ray movies have a long way to come.

The most important point to me know is that there are very little games for it to justify my purchase.

I don't like the games lineup for Wii either.

360 is the only appealing choice to me now. Nice library of games too. But I think I'll wait a bit to buy that as well. Horror stories of 3ROD abound... mostly FPS games... Mass Effect will give me a slight push.

Until then, it's back to my PS2 and PC. tongue.gif

Its not pricey compare to other console. Plus, you can still play PS2 game with it (not all)smile.gif If you're ps2 owner and the ps2 just died, naturally, PS3 is the way to go.

Nonsense. DVD was successful because it was supported by many electronic manufacturer. My first DVD player was my PC.
Another "GAMES IN BLU-RAY IS MORE POWERFUL" crap nonsense. Go study programming lah.
We don't even have High Definition transmission in this country. By the time we have HDTV transmission HDMI 1.3 will be obsolete.

HDMI 1.3 = WAP
Price cannot lie.
PS3 is available here and there la. Wii even outsold everywhere in Japan while PS3 still can easily get. Stop lying.
Maybe. Maybe not.
*
believe me. part of the DVD success is attributed to DVD. there's a fact on that in the internet if u search around.....yes, my first dvd is my PC also

i didn't say games in BD is more powerful. can u read my statement properly. i said u can put more stuff into it. and of course xbox360 also can with HD-dvd. i dun wan to argue this anymore unless u read my statement properly.

who talk about HD transmission??? we're talking about console here. HD already coming to town with a lot of HD supported LCD and DVD player. its nearer than u think. HDMI 1.3 = WAP? check your facts. HDMI is component cable equivalent. i think you're living under coconut shell.

yes, price cannot lie. its not expensive compare to other console.

RM200 which is same price as Wii or 360

Yes. DVD is successful due to the DVD format. Not the PS2. Glad you come to that conclusion.
Oh yes you did. Let me quote you:
Can you tell us what is so important about HDMI 1.3? Especially to gamers?
Yes it is.
*
HDMI is not important. But as an extra feature that you get eventhough you dun need to pay that much.

Urs statement is nth better than crap too. The statement is legitimate. More powerful here means the games graphic are improve tremendously and more contents that need to be fit in the media, thus the introduction of BD. This is to cater for the graphic development in the future.

Of coz, whether the games are creative or not are ups to gamers and the games developers but the statement is nontheless true.
LOL, so what if we dun have HDTV in M'sia? Do u even know the usage of HDMI in the first place? Do u study their protocol?

Try to wiki before u post..
And no, i ain't Sony fansboy.

even though u argue because of argueing sake, i'm ok biggrin.gif

by the way, the price u quote, do u realise u need to add custom tax??

we need to take into consideration because ps3 is part of nexgen console...isn't that clear?

I know about the tax. Reason I use play-asia because I got link to the price.
If you buy from bernard/djin they offer same/less price.
X360 is also next-gen. Wii, in a way, is also next-gen. But in the end, both are still cheaper than the PS3. Very clear?

haiya, of course cheaper lar....but as i said in the first thread, ps3 got a bit more feature mah...

if u still insist on dollar to dollar comparison, u win lar...ok ...

It's a marketing buzz word much like how Sony says "1080p is True HD" or "120fps", or "next-gen doesn't start until we (sony) says so".

Games like Resistance already make use of Blu-ray yet it its no better than Gears of War.

If 1 DVD is not enough, then the solution is multiple discs like what they did with Blue Dragon. Don't make swapping discs as an issue because I sure as hell know that nobody cried when we had to switch discs during the Playstation 1 era.
What for study the protocol? The end consumers are not interested in protocol. They just want to plug & play. What is the point of harping about "1.3" ?
*
omg, 1080p is marketing buzzword... thumbup.gif

i think u better go out and see the world...maybe just go to the nearest Jaya Jusco and look at their 1080p display....
