$900 That Is A Lot Of Bucks. I Sow The Review Of Kill Zone 2 On The Ps3 And That Looks Amazing. But Do You Guys Think Its Worth Paying That Much When I Already Have A Pc And A Ps2. Do U Think I Should Upgrade My Pc Rather Then Get The Ps3???

I don't think I've ever seen someone type with a Caps on the first letter of every word before.

But, to answer the question, I'll be spending my money on PCs for awhile. I wouldn't spend that kind of money on a PS3. But, that's just me.

maybe the delay is good, working out some glitches
and the 360 costs about the same to produce
its all about liscensing(sp?)

the ps3 will come out this year just like sony said it will. & it wont cost $900. it will be comparably priced vs xbox360.

I belive thats wat happens when you try to post using ALL capital letters in the entire post. The forum automatically converts the letters after the first in the word to lower case.

Lol, sorry to say, but the killzone vid was not in game footage, srry. The PS3's graphics power is about the same of my current rig : ).

Looks like the nintendo wont be so far behind everyone else.

That's interesting. First time I've been made aware of that new 'feature'.

thats good to know. when i show it i could not believe that games are that far already. so now i know that that is just a movie.

so i can get better graphic from my pc. hahahahaha.
though i must say ps2 has lesser problems then a pc. its just insert disc and play no drivers no upgrading. so thats a good point right. though it standerd graphic and the games cant provide more graphic than what the concole can handle so there pc's is much better........right?

SFOSOK · Feb 21, 2006, 08:40 PM

but the problems are the fun part : ).

Thing is you don't want to get a console thats graphical power is matched by PC's before it even released. By the time the Ps3 comes out you could build a better rig (or buy one from dell) for less and do more with it). Also PC games are insanely less and drop in price faster +you don't have to pay for online + you can play up to 32 or 64 people on most.

The only thing you should buy a PS3 for is blueray and the cell chip and sony titles but definately not the graphics. I'm not sure how the 360's graphics rate but their card is a custom ati 48 pipe which is twice as many pipes as my current card.

Also some hate the limits consoles put on games, like not being able to adjust the setting or what you see is what you get, no tweaking, no upgrading, no nothing really.

There are only two reasons I would get a console

1. If they had an awsome game that no one else had and there wre no plans to port it for PC.

2. LAN's with my buddies

So either way I'll wait till one my buddies gets a system and some games and try em out.

Edit: there is only one game that would make PS3 worth it to me, and that would be FF7 remade.

the big Firefly · Feb 27, 2006, 08:29 AM

the reason why i like pc's better then a ps is because of the MOUSE

. ps xbox and nentendo can do what they want but pc's will still be the best tin that apartment.>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>HAHAHAHAHAHAHAH AHA
