    haha yea. -dead

    the PS3 functions own all the others, graphic wise etc.
    It also depends where you buy it aswell. Australia there selling it for $1000. With just the console but deals are coming out. I bought mine in hk which was just 5600! you can sell it somewhere and gain a profit. So not really a rip off. The graphics are amazing.. -dead

    i bought mine in hk... brand new from Fortress, $540 cdn no tax for 60gb version. The HK version is the best i think, plays all the necessary regional movies and games. NTSC-J

    from what I've been hearing, it's a rip off. some people say that it's a beta or whatever and that there are a few glitches here and there. i don't see much games coming out for ps3 anyway.

    no its not a rip off because i heard they are not making enough profits from it cause of the cost to make it and also it has the latest and newest graphics and processor, therefore it is kind of the obsolete gaming console now, just that it's controller is not so innovative

    it is a bit pricey for a videogame system. hopefully, alot of good games will come out for it.

    No! I think you mean EX-creator of Final Fantasy, Hironobu Sakaguchi... he left Square after The Spirits Within flopped, started his own company Mistwalker, and yeah, they are making X-box exclusive games. Two of them actually.

    dunno if final fantasy on xbox 360 gonna good, usually only the multi-path/ good-evil stories rpg on the xbox are the good ones

    i heard it's not a rip off because every console they sell they are losing money
     
  13. Sony has to rely on the sale of games to make money but imo the PS3 is rubbish at the mo and thats coming from someone who prefers playstations. the network feature is questionable too, i mean its free!!, everybody knows you get what you pay for. i reckon Sony will charge for the online service pretty soon. i got a xbox360, £40 a year for the service and im well pleased with that.

    Not really the case since sony is actually making a $300US loss with every ps3 console they sell. Cuase of tis Blueray reader, its actually worth it if u buy ps3 since Blueray costs as much as a ps3 console. Drawbacks of ps3 console is that it heats up way to quickly and makes lots of noise well compared to others. Well after my final high school exams im gonna get myself a ps3 and take it to china and play for 1 whole months and possibly get it chipped if I can.

    the ps3 isn't a ripoff. rather it just try to do everything, poorly. cell tech is good but that doesn't matter if the gpu isn't the best. motion sensor is poorly implemented with no rumble. the online is still not that good yet.

    the thing is, it still have potential though. ff13 isn't coming out for xbox360 :-(. the graphics still look great and it can play bluray somewhat (v1.2?)
     
  18. blueray movies is no use unless u got a cutting edge 1080+ tv, but ps3 is getting rumble pads soon.

    That maybe the case because its got so much wiring and stuff. think of it as a laptop computer. I think its better played under air-condition conditions
