Agreed! I liked to know what other titles are better on PS3, I'm thinking of getting that, sounds like the better bet of the 2. I'm looking forward to Zelda Wii and what goodies for PS3, I just hope the motion whatever it's called doesn't continue to look like a dildo :p

You'd better get used to what the Move looks like if you want to get one, because it's not changing design.

What were the devs thinking? lol

About MGS4, rent it with the possibility of purchasing it if you like it.
I still think MGS Twin Snakes is a lot better than MGS4.

You will notice a clear difference between BluRay and DVD, specially with the newer media that was created in HD. The PS3 is however a great DVD upscaling device.

I suggest you get a PS3 after E3, which hopefully they will announce the PS3/Move bundle.

right, I see they have a new 250GB slim model out for $349 with choice of bundle either with Gamestop or Walmart.

BlackNMild2k1 · « **Reply #54 on:** June 11, 2010, 06:05:01 PM »

There is another price drop being rumored for the PS3, likely for the lower GB models and then a repricing for a higher GB model to bundle with the Move.

So 250GB model could go down to $299 and w/ Move bundled it could be $349 or something like that, so I definitely wouldn't make a move until after E3 is over.

MysticGohan · « **Reply #55 on:** June 11, 2010, 10:13:33 PM »

Right BnM, do you think that such a move will be likely? And will the price drop be immediate after E3? How likely is this Rumor?

BlackNMild2k1 · « **Reply #56 on:** June 11, 2010, 11:13:02 PM »

Sony just pushed 2 new boards through the FCC, one has some new wireless stuff and the other one supposedly had some new chipset in it.

A new chipset could be for the Move bundle to get the price down even further, so I would definitely wait on a purchase right now.

I still have my Black Wii in the box ready to either ship to Nintendo or return to the store depending on what Nintendo decides to do about my ship account issue and/or what they announce at E3.

MysticGohan · « **Reply #57 on:** June 11, 2010, 11:45:17 PM »

How long will it take for these prices to go into effect?

Caliban · « **Reply #58 on:** June 12, 2010, 12:06:40 AM »

If the rumors are true that Move is going to be released in July, then you won't have to wait that long.

MysticGohan · « **Reply #59 on:** June 12, 2010, 12:15:22 AM »

Do you think Move would be anything noteworthy? I'm not sure what to think of it.

MysticGohan · « **Reply #60 on:** June 12, 2010, 12:24:54 AM »

Off topic, I noticed when watching HD streaming from Netflix that where it says HD it'll say when you scroll over it, not playing HD and under it is a box that can be checked marked allow HD, is it really HD and what HD does netflix allow? 720p/1080p? My monitor supports full 1080p HD widescreen.

It will be as noteworthy as the developers can make it be, but the premise of it is just like a Wii Remote with Wii motion Plus. If you are already happy with the Wii then I guess Move, or Natal ain't gonna do ya much except that you can play those games in HD, but then you might as well wait for Nintendo's next home console which will most likely output in HD and come with some uber controller. Even if you are not that interested in getting a Move bundle you're better off waiting to see what happens at E3 just like BnM recommends.

MysticGohan · « **Reply #62 on:** June 12, 2010, 12:39:38 AM »

Right, I'm just looking at the Games and any extras that would be nice to have.

MysticGohan · « **Reply #63 on:** June 12, 2010, 05:42:17 PM »

Been talking to Bill, he recommends 360 in comparison to ps3, the 360 gets better 3rd party and has better 1st party games.

What'cha think?

NWR_insanolord · « **Reply #64 on:** June 12, 2010, 05:44:41 PM »

It is beyond ludicrous to argue that the 360 has better 1st party games than the PS3. It probably gets a bit better 3rd party support, but the vast majority of 3rd party games come to both of them.

MysticGohan · « **Reply #65 on:** June 12, 2010, 05:59:09 PM »

This is what Bill had to say

"bluray is a complete non-issue when it comes to multiplatform games they actually look worse on ps3 because 360 is the lead sku,
360 - Fable II, Halo 3, Infinite Undiscovery, Mass Effect, Mass Effect 2

PS3 - 3D Dot Heroes, Folklore, Valkyria Chronicles
mulitplatform games tend to be better on 360
i don't give a crap about sony's first party games
so if you're interested in those, then ps3 makes more sense, i have more 360 games than ps3 games, but again, that's because i usually go 360 when getting a multiplatform game, and i prefer MS' first party games (mostly just Lionhead and Fable)"

Bill Aurion "You know ya love him" has interesting insight, Still I'm on the fence between the two systems.

NWR_insanolord · « **Reply #66 on:** June 12, 2010, 06:34:36 PM »

The Mass Effect games are on PC, so I don't know if they should fully count toward this. Killzone 2 is a better game than Halo 3. Uncharted 2 is amazing, and there's nothing even close to it on the 360. I haven't played it yet, but God of War III got a lot of praise, and nobody does that type of game better, and there are a lot of other good first party PS3 games.

Personally, if I had to choose one, I'd go with the 360, but that's only because of Perfect Dark Arcade.

MysticGohan · « **Reply #67 on:** June 12, 2010, 06:41:34 PM »

What's Uncharted 2 like? Arrgh! This isn't making things easy

NWR_insanolord · « **Reply #68 on:** June 12, 2010, 06:46:09 PM »

I don't think I could adequately explain it; you should go check out a video of it on YouTube or somewhere. It's got it all: a great presentation and top-notch gameplay to back it up.

MysticGohan · « **Reply #69 on:** June 12, 2010, 08:24:43 PM »

PS3 sounds like it'll be cheaper than 360 as I wouldn't need gold membership to play online let alone buying the wireless adapter and what not.

Anyone know who has the best deal going on? I'll have a maximum of $464 to spend, I'd like to get a system with a game etc.

another possible reason to wait: http://www.computerandvideogames.com/article.php?id=250803

MysticGohan · « **Reply #71 on:** June 14, 2010, 12:01:00 PM »

Thanks for the heads up BnM, wow 500GB, that's hella lot. Would that mean a Price drop as well? Would it be worth it to get the 500GB? I can't imagine what I would do with that space, my pc has 1TB and I'm barely use half lol.

BnM what do you believe would be the outcome to come from this?

NWR_insanolord · « **Reply #72 on:** June 14, 2010, 12:34:40 PM »

Sony must be planning on getting serious about digital distribution on the PS3, because there's no other reason you'd ever need close to 500 GB.

Also, I hope there's going to be a way to get 802.11n on older model PS3s, via some kind of dingle or something, because I have an N network and it would be nice if my PS3 could take advantage of it.

BlackNMild2k1 · « **Reply #73 on:** June 14, 2010, 12:41:33 PM »

Well, you wait. E3 Happens.

Now you either like the new Xbox360 redesign (black, slimmer, quieter, WiFi built in and a 250GB HDD) and are interested in Kinect and the ~~Wii~~ games that have been revealed so you decide to purchase that for probably around $399 with everything included (360, Kinect & a game)

Or you like Sony's new sku with massive HDD space (PS & PS2 game downloads on PSN?) and improved wifi (b/g/n), are very interested in Move and the ~~Wii~~ games that have been announced for that so you decide to purchase that instead for maybe $399 with everything included (PS3, Move & a game)

or 3DS is so bad ass, you decide to spend your money on that (<$200 or bust

) and hold off till Xmas next year since Nintendo may have just teased a Wii2H3D for next years E3 reveal. So you purchase your 3DS with 6 games and end up wearing glasses anyway since you've gone cross-eyed with excitement.

your choice

MysticGohan · « **Reply #74 on:** June 14, 2010, 12:48:06 PM »

sounds interesting BnM, Which would you choose? sounds quite alot going on. Can't wait for tomorrow, gotta love Zelda!

How long do you think this Gen has left? And whats your money on?
