lighting, its shud be the same, but why u wanna try to update US file? u hoping it would change ur ps3 to region 1 ar?

lapaq, me also using real alternative, but dunno why kenot ler...

u actually bought oris? tabik 69

it doesnt work tat way, but u may try ur luck, who knows

Blah blah blah,i never play football games anyway.

Lightning69,

What do you expect us to say? you are correct? that 360 games are better? and PS3 is not really a more powerful system?

It is said by the people at 1UP (in their latest podcast) that these games are built on the 360 then ported to the PS3...PS3 Don't really like it this way as 360 architecture and PS3 are totally diff.

They can do it that way but they would need to rewrite a lot of their code....and the devs don't want to as they have limited time and resources...coupled with the 'PS3 less than stellar' installed based, they obviously can't justify the investment...so they just come up with what ever they no matter how bad it is.

And why Sony didn't do anything about it? I guess it is inevitable with the current situation....In fact I really want to have sony's comment on this....I want  to know too

Oh and Sony's own sports can easily do a game 1080p game....so why can't other devs?

And we've also heard that a few devs like Sega (Sega Rally Revo) and Criterion (Burnout Paradise) decided to build their game on the PS3 then port it to the 360....this way it is wasier as the 360 is easier to sode for and they don't have to spend too much time re-coding. And again based on 1up Podcast (latest one) the PS3 build looks better and runs smoother...

So, why don't we wait and see what happens later this year before we ask these questions....because there's no use answering this early....Then best time to judge will be in Fall and holiday season of 2008.

If you think that you investment in PS3 is a total waste of time and money and energy....well it's too bad..there's no use 'b****ing' about it...just well your PS3 if that's the case.

Also no one wants to 'layan' you...I've just wasted a few minutes of my time on you..and this will be my last time...to 'laya' people with this type of questions again.

Don't get me wrong...there's nothing personal...I just don't think this type of discussion will produce any fruitful result/outcome...period

Nicely said lapaq

and for lightning, if you want people praise you and laugh WITH you (not laugh AT you ), just spread the news at X360's thread....

Oh and lightning, the next time you wanna start a discussion, know your audience first...check first are they some kinds of a fanboy of a certain group? are they literate enough? are they who you think they are...then pose a stmt and some questions..?

I certainly won't go into a Chinese restaurant and said chinese food are the worse kind of food ever because I see the trend are showin it is so...just my two cents..since this is of course a PlayStation thread...

One more thing...my overall take to your questions in the original post...don't worry....even if the 360 is all powerfull..just buy a 360 (if you don't already own one) and enjoy it...next time, be a smart consumer buy what is best for you and don't take 'bulat'bulat' what ever the salesman tells you...

Darkness for PS3 available already, locally? Watched the gameplay clip and read some reviews. Looks very good. Very gore and dark. It seems that graphic-wise a little bit better than 360 version.

I don't care, but seems like you do.  Well, not buying the game anyway, pokai already after buying Ninja Gaiden & Rainbow Six. 

You are absolute right, you can express your opinion and you can say that is not even remotely more powerful than 360. you are entitled to your own opinion.

As you want a discussion about the lack of power for the PS3, I gave my take on it in my previous post.

And at the same time I'm entitled to my own opinion....of which I said that your conclusion which is based solely on the currently released games are very much a premature conclusion.

And for a person to make a premature conclusion, I personally find that man somewhat lacking in term of his computing power.

i said it so many time and i'll will say it for the last time....I am open to any outcome for the console wars...either ps3 or 360 can be more powerful than either of them...but I'm reserving my decision till later time....

I don't want to make an ass of myself by saying "based on games released between nov 06 till Jun 07...360 is more powerful....then a year later..."based on games released between Jul 07 till xx08...PS3 is more powerful...."

If that is waht you want to discuss on then..sorry I won't discuss it as I'm not interested...

To me the underlying issues that merit discussions are:

1. whether the PS3 is really difficult to program for..without comparing to 360 since it uses a CELL which is very much diff compared to conventional processor...or

2. are the two consoles so different that it is not not viable anymore doing a multiplatform game...or

3. are the devs not willing to spend more resources to develop a game for a console that is not selling very well..or

4. whay are sony not doing anything?...or

5. any other issues apart from deciding which is more powerful..or is the PS3 an over hyped console or not because as I said....I can't decide it yet...and my opinion is that  those who decide prematurely would be wrong to do so.

On with the other question you had...You can criticize the PS3 all you want...please go ahead but why do you care if I gave a 'fanboyish' response or not? If you think you should be able to criticize freely...than I should also have the luxury to criticize whatever you said without being labeled as fanboys....and to be fair...I could've said you have a thing against SONY after you've been cheated by them into buying a PS3....marah?...don't be...coz you've been making a sweeping stmt about me and most of us here since the beginning...

on another note...
This is what you said in one of your replies to my thread...
I like it when I read that you worry about the issues above...

If you want to discuss....please give your your take...or reasoning or some kind of valuable contribution...rather than just stating the fact then finish it off by saying "this doesn't look good for the PS3...."

Fact is...you shouldn't worry about the symptom (perceptions that PS3 sucks)...you should worry about the problem leading to the symptom..

like the points or issues that I mentioned above...and I've given my take in my first reply to you...

Well this is going to be my last reply to you regarding the case of fanboyism in this thread....and also regarding the issue of whether PS3 is more powerful or over hyped or not....period...

If you want to discussed on the more important problems rather than the symptoms...than by all means...be my guest...I'd like to do that anytime I'm free

But now, I'm just going to do what everybody else seemed to be doing....which is ignoring you....partly I think because of the reason stated above...

Peace.....

How's that for contradictory statement? Not to mention your lame assumption of the general ppl here. You're trying to act smart, but you're actually making yourself look like a fool here.  

just buy, those are rumours
and most probably u will be buying asian set, so it will have no effect

yes..but wat is weird is onli certain bestbuy/target/circuit city....some sitll selling at old price... i tot these chain shops have a standard pricing??

har??????? 499 still al ot for a console?

how much again u expect it to sell? usd 99?

The Wii does have Wi-Fi. Also, could it be that the Wii is selling so well because its so darn easy to get pirated games for it? Also, like others have said, the Wii targets a different game market. So far the only game that I find appealing is Super Paper Mario. That's why my Wii is in the living room where my nieces love it while my 360 and PS3 is my room.

I just dont get it. U come to a PS3 thread and keep telling us how bad it is. If u're not happy with u'r purchase, why not just sell it and not be bothered with it for the rest of your life?

hahahhahaha

oh ya, forgot to reply to lightning -san

not got $$, cocky, me toking abt facts nia
willing buyer willing seller, if u think the price isnt right for you, u shudnt have bought it, and dun come and cuntplain games too expensive, u shud have known b4 u bought it, in fact, u are playing the ps3 with a LCD, and im still playing it with a crt, so doent this fact make u $$ loaded?

Hehehehe...he should go and buy a modded X360...then can buy all the next gen games for cheap price...
