actually its a good thing they included all these "extra" features.
and if you look at it.. SONY still NEEDS to put all these features. For Gaming Purposes XMB OS - Game Navigation/Options Wifi - Online Gaming Blu-Ray - HD Gaming HDD - Save Game Data Bluetooth - Game Controls & Communications ALL available ports - Saved Game Flexibility & HD The Luxury of PS3 XMB OS - Linux OS Wifi - Media Streaming/ Online Chating / Download Media/Demo/Games Blu-Ray Drive - HD Movies/ CD/DVD/Blu-Ray Data HDD - Music/Videos/Pictures Bluetooth - Wireless Keyboard & Mouse / File Transfer (Future Firmware) ALL available ports - Transfer any media in any fashion, HDMI ready so you see all the features plays a BIG role in gaming thats why it is required, and why exclude all these features when the technology is there in the box! Thanks SONY!! |

But what I'm saying is, if our currency is similar to the US(which will never happen for all the money-suckers in the government), RM60 per-game isn't all that bad really. If our purchasing power is on par with US, Japan, Australia, UK etc, US$40-60 is a piece of cake. |

even spending rm 200 per game for a ps3 game for me is quite a shock to the system , but then again , i dont buy games every month. i beg borrow or steal from ppl around me for games . games that i buy is the exceptional ones that i must buy based on my preference alone. in those countries , it is the norm to buy games at usd 20 or less for used original ps2 games , some are gems too. if i were to buy original ps2 games here at rm 20, my house would be full chock with em.

At one time New Era bring out Dawn of War at Rm70+. after that it been discontinued..i dunno what the reason but my speculation is low sales figure (and the local translation for manual turn people off)yes...the % of people buy the ori stuff will be increased significantly but we can never getting rid of this kind of statement: "why buy Rm60 game where you can get the same one with Rm5 or even free by downloading it from the net?" |

Life's like that. besides, we've gone through this way too many times together already guys.
I'd just simply put it in this statement. The world needs both one another to coexist. |

ps:
a little off topic i've jz went to speedy videos over the weekend and they are selling ori DvDs at 9.99-19.99 which is a big shock O.o at such price why would one even buy pirated? on the other hand, the dark kngiht blueray cost me 149 bucks and its not even from speed (sold out) till i need to run around midvalley to find another shop (ended up at the gardens lol) Added on February 2, 2009, 10:57 am QUOTE(neogeocdz @ Feb 2 2009, 10:54 AM) Correction at least type on MS word to work on the grammar etc...I was rather amused by the poor level of English used in the commentary.

we are talking about the blog who uses big bombastic words over there...
the tone and presentation of the blog jz scream game journalism style article... the blog entry is not some rant blog post or some personal oppinion that suit the use of colloqualism... might i add, the problem with the blog is not about its colloqualism (it has only minor of such in fact) but rather the grammar and sentence structure... for u to be shooting me for stating my colloqualism in my psot is totally out of the line... Added on February 2, 2009, 11:22 am QUOTE(shaznizzle @ Feb 2 2009, 04:16 AM) actually its a good thing they included all these "extra" features. by the time u get all those add-ons for the 360, its cheaper to jz get the ps3 itself...and if you look at it.. SONY still NEEDS to put all these features. For Gaming Purposes XMB OS - Game Navigation/Options Wifi - Online Gaming Blu-Ray - HD Gaming HDD - Save Game Data Bluetooth - Game Controls & Communications ALL available ports - Saved Game Flexibility & HD The Luxury of PS3 XMB OS - Linux OS Wifi - Media Streaming/ Online Chating / Download Media/Demo/Games Blu-Ray Drive - HD Movies/ CD/DVD/Blu-Ray Data HDD - Music/Videos/Pictures Bluetooth - Wireless Keyboard & Mouse / File Transfer (Future Firmware) ALL available ports - Transfer any media in any fashion, HDMI ready so you see all the features plays a BIG role in gaming thats why it is required, and why exclude all these features when the technology is there in the box!

QUOTE(kmeng @ Feb 2 2009, 02:03 AM) Don't understand why SONY squeeze so many features in one machine....then sell it at high price. You are wrong... Normal Blu ray player would cost about RM1,900.00 nowaday but PS3 only 1,600 and come with a lot of function.Actually what gamers want is just GAMING..that's all. blu-ray movies? what for? Gamers just want games. If wanna watch HD movies, would rather buy a DVD player. Play movies with a gaming machine will shorten the lifespan of the lens. If you seen blu-ray movie... you will spit on your existing DVD player. |
