Just let you know it starts for sell in Jap at 7am. So far 100,000 have been sold. A flood of Chinese pals came to scare buying some as well. Lucky thing is nobody gets killed in this buying war. lol

Yeah, people here in L.A are rioting in the streets and mugging people because of it. Over what, a video game console? Its funny how some people can be so stupid and impatient. People are getting $4,000 for selling their PS3's on eBay because people are willing to pay whatever it takes to be the first kid on the block to own a PS3. For $4,000 I could invest in a car, or a top notch gaming computer. Wait a couple months and you'll be able to get a PS3 25% off the price it is now.

Two robberies have marred today's North American PlayStation3 launch, which has seen one man shot in a queue outside a Wal-Mart store in Connecticut, and five PS3 units stolen from an EB Games branch in Englewood, Ohio.
The Connecticut man was taken to University of Massachusetts Medical Center in Worcester, where his condition is currently unclear. Police are looking for the suspects, who approached a queue of people outside of the supermarket and robbed them. The victim had refused to co-operate with the criminals.
Several states away in Englewood, Ohio, police are looking for suspects who robbed a branch of EB Games; five PlayStation3 units and a host of games were stolen in the incident.
Absolutely shocking o_o

I see alot of people selling Wii email address on ebay from 100-300 wtf is up with that? I saw the picture of wii for 150 bucks buy it now, I thought someone was selling it for 150 but thought something was wrong! Then I saw the email address thing lol. This is one reason it makes getting these things so hard at launhc/after launch because people buy two or three just for Ebay >_>

Its not just Wii, but PS3, Xbox360 etc they do the email thing on ebay for too :nervous:
Its aimed at ppl who want to setup their own online business selling a particular console. A bit silly if you ask me.
And paying $900 for a photograph of a PS3, i really think some ppl have more money than sense :lol:
I can't wait to get my hands on a PS3, but no way would i be prepared to pay more than retail. I can wait :)
It always takes any console awhile to build up a decent library of games anyway.

That was one of the reasonsI was buying a Wii first cause of the first price, but screw that bundle $550 price at Walmart and stuff lol I plan to buy a 360 sometime after I buy the Wii which would a while like 4 or 5 months :P so They're doing the email thing for those too? and who would pay $900 for apicture of PS3 why They could buy the console for $600 lmao

Well right now the 360 has plenty of good games out, like I told Hunk_4TH. Just wait until Mass Effect comes out. I won't even be able to take my hands off the controller. Right now you got: Dead Rising, Oblivion, Gears of War, Kameo, Final Fantasy, Saint's Row which is an online GTA rip off, and if you like shooters there are plenty of other games like Call of Duty 2 & 3. Also Resident Evil 5, Halo 3, Fable 2, and Mass Effect are all coming out next year as well which will be very good.
I'm only getting a Wii to play the classic Resident Evil games for NGC and the new Umbrella Chronicles which is coming out soon. I don't even think it'll be worth getting a PS3 even if I waited a couple years for the price to drop. The only thing I'll miss from Playstation is code hacking anyway.

Oh i'm definitely buying a 360, eventually, just not yet. I can wait. Whether i play Dead Rising etc now or in 12 months time is really of no consequence to me.
I'll buy a Wii too. The only reason i'd prefer to buy a PS3 first is because the Sony consoles have always catered more for my gaming preferences and had something for everyone, be it survival horror, rpg's, and even 2D fighters and shoot em ups, they have absolutely everything. Huge diversity. Thats one area where they've always excelled, and where Microsoft(though i did love how games like King Of Fighters and Street Fighter Anniversary Edition on the Xbox came Live enabled :)) and especially Nintendo have been a bit disappointing. If your looking for a game outside the mainstream the Xbox always came off second best to the PS2 and the Gamecube was/is pretty none existant.

See developers only make games on the platforms which they think they will sell on. That means they do it on the popular ones. So, if PS3 isn't the most popular one, or considering how few units are actually out, it wouldn't be smart for so many developers to flock to the PS3. Add in the fact thatthe amazing cell is supposed to be about as great as the "emotion engine", it seems like the 360 will really cater to most of the developers needs. Hell, i wouldn't be suprised if most movie games and small upstart developers go to the Wii considering its ease of development and how cheap it is to develop for it. So, I would buy a system not for what it might do, which really is the case of the PS3, as there really is no killer app atm. Yes resistance is good, but i'm sorry, it's not a killer app. Zelda is a killer app. Gears is a killer app. I don't really know about resistance, it seems pretty clunky...but enough of that, the point is you shouldn't really be getting a console for what it's relative did, but for what it does, which is the exception of the Wii, considering the whole Virtual Console thing. Considering you can technically play any game on any of nintendo's home consoles and the PCE and Genesis, you got a pretty solid library. Tho, they haven't really released too many games for it, but you get my point i hope.:)

What a fanboyish statement to make. Or are you a Microsoft employee incognito? :lol:
How do you know the 360 won't flop? The Dreamcast was a huge success, INITIALLY. It was also much easier for developers to develop for... and a great console :nervous:
When i said niche, i meant obscure Japanese games. So considering the fact that its very unlikely that Microsoft will ever be bigger than Sony or Nintendo in Japan, what you've just said is a bit of a null point :)
Its like the Saturn, utter flop in the west but did pretty well in Japan with some amazing games that never saw the light of day outside of there.
And as i said, i'm buying all 3 anyway. So i'll be enjoying the best all 3 have to offer while fanboys bicker among each other for the next 5 or so years over which is best :D

It was also much easier for developers to develop for... and a great console :nervous: I don't know it won't, i'm just saying considering it does the same thing as the PS3 from the consumer view and is easier to use from the developer's view, it seems like it will be victorious over the PS3. It's just my guess. And considering there are about 7 million 360s out atm, you can't really argue with numbers. Of course thats an estimate, but the DC didn't have this kindof an advantage over the PS2. Also, the problem with your comparison is that the PS2 really hit off with consumers because it played DVDs, albeit horribly. The whole thing about playing Blu-ray compared to dvds is irrelevant as only owners of HDTVs will really see the improvement in quality of video.

Its like the Saturn, utter flop in the west but did pretty well in Japan with some amazing games that never saw the light of day outside of there. Once again an irrelevant comparison as the Saturn wasn't a success here mainly because of SEGA of america. IT wouldn't allow any 2D games for the most part, so we had a limited library. And with Square Enix and Tecmo on Microsofts side as well, we could see an 360 turn over in Japan. Considering the 360s have started selling like hotcakes because of the blue dragon bundles, I would disagree that the 360 couldn't outsell the PS3. As for obscure japanese games, its Wii a go go baby, as viewtiful might say. If it is popular, combined with its ease and relatively inexpensive development costs, all the bizarre PS2 games will probably go to the wii.
And as i said, i'm buying all 3 anyway. So i'll be enjoying the best all 3 have to offer while fanboys bicker among each other for the next 5 or so years over which is best :DEh, waste of money. I say get one of them, maybe two, and get the others when they are cheap or used and you can pick up all the greats for relatively cheap.
All these predictions I have are just predictions that I have based off past trends and current pros and cons of the consoles.

The PS2 was a bigger hit in America than the Xbox was because of the previous console it had, so I think Microsoft deserves a little credibility this time around. I'm not a fan boy but I hope Microsoft sells out big time. There are just too many great games not to pass up, everyone needs to get a 360.

Heck, i might even end up with a Wii or 360 first considering the PS3 isn't out here till next year, but i'll still be buying one.
Eh, waste of money. I say get one of them, maybe two, and get the others when they are cheap or used and you can pick up all the greats for relatively cheap.
And thats EXACTLY what i plan to do. Like i said, i'm in no rush, and i won't be an early adopter. Made that mistake before...
About 2% of Psone and Pstwo games not working properly on the PS3 yet(but even that could be rectified with a firmware update) is hardly a disaster Arlumit. Thats a story thats been blown all out of proportion.
The PS2 isn't 100% backwards compatible either, yet i have only ever had problems playing 1 PSone game on it, Arcades Greatest Hits - Atari....

Not two. Lol, those are the estimates right? Also, most of the games that didn't follow Sony's ETC or w/e its called aren't supported on the PS2. It's more than one I believe.

Actually, those "200 games" are 200 SKU's, which include both original and Greatest Hits/Best/Platinum versions. Still, given the fact that upscaling isn't possible on the console, playing those old games on the PS3 is pointless unless you want to save space.
from what i've read the ps3 upscaled all ps2 games to 480p thats still upgrading isnt it heh, and besides its a good way to keep playing your ps2 games and sell the actual ps2 console to make some extra cash. Plus the ps3 allows you to make virtual memory cards on the HDD etc

yes, but there is no backwards compatability with regular Dual Shock 2s. That sucks considering unlike Sony, I like Rumble. They need to make a usb adapter me thinks:)

Carnivol
11-29-2006, 05:00 AM
Yeah, just like there is a HDMI and Component cables are sold seperatly too.
How compatible is that adapter with recognition of third party and optional controllers though ?
I heard the guitar hero controller has issues getting recognized.
Also, how are the USB devices handled in PS2 games?
(USB microphones/Headsets, USB ethernet adapters and such)
With the more and more common stuff with online play, has the PSX LINK been resurrected through emulation? (I think they should, even though not many games after 1999/2000, if any at all, supports it)
The PS3 has potential, I give it that, but it seriously feels half-assed, rushed and at the moment it's just not very attractive, even though it's been delayed several times.
It pretty much fails at living up to the "piece of perfection" Sony tries to make it sound like it is.
Umon Daisuke
11-29-2006, 09:50 AM
I don't think those are official adaptors, but since you're running Linux on the thing, you can use any USB adaptor.
The analog out (AV out) is the same as the PS and PS2 so you can use your old cables. HDMI cables are pretty common and cheap, and frankly, I'm not sure why people were expecting Sony to bundle one with the console. Component is another matter though.
There certainly are issues, but it seems that much of their intial efforts went into the engineering of the console to ensure that the whole PS2 launch defect problems are repeated. It was delayed once btw :p It's been out for a short while anyway. I'm actually glad I didn't get one, because I seriously cannot find one compelling title until March.
Right now, my beef is with the issue of upscaling... a key issue given the fact that it's an HD console. Btw AJ, I don't think PS/PS2 titles are upscaled to 480p.. you'll have to turn it on if a game supports it.

Actually, I haven't been able to find a decent priced retail HDMI cable. Most places seem to only stock the expensive monster ones, with a mark up of like 50 bucks for what they actually pay for those things. They practically taking your money if you buy one. But fortunately, HDMI is digital, so buying a cheaper cable off eBay really isn't a problem. BTW, does the PS3 have gold connectors?

Well, I plan on getting a PS3 eventually. Right now there is no title I want for it and none coming out for it for a long time that I'm gonna want to desperately have right at release, so I'm not worried about it. Hopefully by then it will have gone down in price some and all that good stuff. Gonna be getting me a 360 for X-mas, since there's really nothing for the Wii I want really, and quite a few 360 games out and coming out that I'm quite interested in.
Kinda wish I had bought one just to sell on E-bay though. Hypocritical yeah, cause I think it's ridiculous people are doing it, but on the other hand it's a dandy profit. . . meh, too late now to worry about, cause I'm broke after spending all my money on x-mas. XD
And I didn't think any details were finalized/confirmed for BH5 at this point? Chris Redfield being the guy in the teaser was just a common speculation. Kinda behind on confirmed news these days in the BH scene, so I dunno. Though I am pretty positive March 2007 is definately not gonna happen for BH5, haha. Last I heard, from a recent post on this very forum even, was that last heard about it was that they were still in the very early stages. Oh well.

Exactly yeah, i'd be using the backwards compatability just to save space. Don't have any room for anymore consoles, and i still have hundreds of PSone and PS2 games to play through. And i think the official line on incompatable games was about 2.7% to be exact(when you take Greatest Hits, Platinum etc versions into consideration).
The only worries about the backwards compatability on PS3 that i have is that there are reports that it actually makes some games look noticeably worse. Hopefully a Firmware update will fix this issue though.

And yeah, no Dual Shock support on PS3 is very disappointing for me. I like my rumble :) One of the reasons why i've never bothered picking up a Wavebird Controller for my Gamecube.

What he's trying to say is don't believe everything you read just because it is in a magazine. I can't believe RE5 would be coming out in March 2007 since we don't even have a confirmed idea of where it might take place exactly. Some speculate that RE5 will take place in Africa or the middle east. It doesn't necessarily mean it is true.

PS3 really in Asia (only know HK) on 17/11/2K6.
But get it later may be able to get lower price.
Don't try to ask any asian friends to mail PS3 to your foreign home, because the foreign customs are censoring all possible mails containing PS3 (HK bought, JP made) and will take them out, and seize all PS3.
and Bio5 is just predicted in 2008, may not be able to, so taking PS3 really have no use / purpose for BioHazard supporters.
why? because even PS and PS2 games, it can't be played or loaded properly on PS3.
maybe take a PS3 with u in 2008 to 2009 is the best. Bio5 may be issued in late 2008 at the quickest.
even capcom said that late 2008 is just their target. they told biohazard fans wait for 2009 instead.

Sorry, but that quote is massively exaggerated, and a lot of the problems that did exist with its backwards compatability were fixed with a firmware update that was released last month.
I guess thats a plus point of us European users getting the PS3 late, because a lot of the bugs US and Japanese users have been experiencing will have been ironed out.
But i'll still probably give it 6 months or so before i pick one up, a year even. It'll take it that long to build up a worthwhile library of games imo.

Aside from Silent Hill 1 and MKT, every single PS and PS2 game I have plays flawlessly on the system. In fact, PS2 games load faster and 480p upscaling (well, "enhanced resolution") is standard for both old format software.
I haven't retired my US PS2 just yet because the patch to install the Outbreak games on the HDD hasn't been released. Chances are, it won't... so I'll just have to get bored out of the games eventually.

Not only later to get PS3, the price is killingly higher. About (12500*599) Won. 599 Euro in real, here just 525.4 Euro. but if transfer into Korean Won...
5254/8 equals to how much , the divided is in Won, then yes, that is Korean Won price.
but Europe always sell in higher price. u can't just buy from asia and bring to your own country, because EU-customs are order to investigate any asian PS3

So with the system set to finaly launch in the rest of the world who has one or is getting one?
I got a call today telling me I can pick it up at midnight this Thursday, I have also had Resistance: Fall of Man set aside, there is a discount if you buy two games.

Oblivion if you dont have it on the PC or 360 yet, I might even pick it up myself as I need to run the game in a pretty high resolution and it lags like hell on my PC because my graphics card is a bit outdated ;P
I have one, but thus far all I have game wise is Resistance and Ridge Racer 7. I did pick up Motorstorm but didnt open it and returned it thanks to the barebones reviews it was getting.
Blu-Ray movies on the other hand, I have around 26 XD Get Casino Royale if your into action movies, Absolutely fantastic movie and its one of the best video quality and sound quality wise Ive seen.

Well I think as of right now only arcade titles on XBL do actual 1080p output. The games for the most part are 720p, and the 360 handles the upscaling of the game to 1080p. So the 360 is just in effect taking the image (1280x720) and "pixel" resizing (nearest neighbor) to 1920x1080.
PS3 on the other hand has a few games that run in 1080p naitive, such as Ridge Racer 7. FLOW also runs in 1080p and GT:HD Concept. I cant really think of any other ones at the moment, but I know upcoming games will support 1080p naitive on the PS3.
you returned motorstorm dot ?!.. wth..

My pal get one in PRC, Jap version with Chinese supported!!! it's definitely what I want and really cheap! But, if he ships that to me, british government is gonna ask me paying too much tax till the totoal amount comes to the same price of European version in UK.

I've only ever had to pay import tax once, and i import items all the time.
Then again, with the size of the PS3, the chances of you getting charged import tax are probably higher, and if you get it shipped EMS then you will definitely get charged import tax...
The PS3 seems to be in plentiful supply here, they've made sure all the shops have plenty consoles. I guess thats an advantage of us having to wait a little longer, it gave them more time to get more consoles ready for our market.

Why I, mate. I just checked out it in Game today. There are lota consoles, :D I think it doesn't matter if it's not Chinese version.
I downloaded the Motorstorm demo and it seems like an ultrasimple racer to me. I wouldn't spend the money on it either, I have read they released downloadable modes though. So far I only have Resistance and I have finished it, really good game, not sure it is enough to warrant a purchase of the console though, I only bought the PS3 because I know by year end they will all sell so I have sort of bought it in advance. Next month they are releasing a software update to allow worldwide online play so that should be cool.
Oblivion is out in a few weeks here, but I think the PS3 is region free right? I might import it or just hold on, depending on how money goes. The PS3 really has little going its way right now, I will get FEAR since I don't have it on PC or anything but I read it isn't as good as the PC original, but maybe they will sort whatever the issues are. I was also thinking of getting Rainbow Six vegas if it ever actually comes out.

Yep, PS3 games are region free. I was heavily tempted to get Oblivion for it and start over but Im going to trudge through when I get a new video card and try to beat it.
