And also, I don't see how this would appeal to "casual gamers." I wouldn't think the casual gamer would want to spend that much time sitting in front of the tv doing nothing...they'd get bored. |
so very true. i love games but i probably spend less than 10 hours per month on games since im so busy. even if i get a ps3, i dont think i'd care for home. i get a console to play games, not to interact with people virtually. that's what i use internet for. :P |
Just curious why you differentiate the PS3 and Home from "the internet." I suppose you mean browsers? You can use the PS3 as a fully-functional computer so I'm not seeing the difference. I don't understand why some of you want a PC to only do typical PC things and a PS3 to only play games. A lot of people could use the PS3 as their main PC if they have a HD output (which could be a CRT monitor and not just HDTV). Full linux OS, any hard drive could be used, USB and/or bluetooth keyboards, mice, and webcams, HD output (which, again, includes CRTs 5 years ago or so), 7.1 sound, fast processor. Sounds like a PC that can play PS3 games and watch blu-ray movies. |
i dont' know. i just like doing computer stuff at my desk and game stuff on my tv. i dont like the mix the two. for one thing, i dont like "integrated systems" (ironic since i do systems engineer). i like a cell phone for a cell phone. i dont care if it plays mp3s or take pictures. i'll pay for something i need. but if i dont need it, i dont want to pay the premium for it just because "it's included as a bundle". but then again, it's just personal preference. |
Fair enough, and I understand your viewpoint. I haven't installed Linux yet on my PS3 but I'm hoping to rip and encode things faster on it when I do. My PC is getting old and I can't use it as the multi-function game-playing machine that I used to. Instead of upgrading my PC I think I'll just transition more to the PS3
