-wrong upscalling doesnt make a difference if the resolution is allready progressive. 

Link? Sounds like BS to me. Upscaling makes a major difference, especially when a game is optomized for the console, which isn't possible on PC.

-yes it is alot bad for the enverment these batteries need a 100 years to decomposate.

And the components in your console will take tons of time to decompose to. And what about the coal smog or nuclear waste generated by the power company when you charge a controller? A few batteries every year doesn't make much of a difference when you consider all the burnt coal and nuclear waste generated just for keeping your television, console, and household in general running.

Why i turn off vibration? because do you see having mouse and keyboard or arcadesticks having vibration? Its uncompetive feature and makes you play worse, i only use it for survival horrors games mostly because these games usually dont have a lifebar.

Lol, most people couldn't care less about being competitive when playing Halo or Little Big Planet with their buddies. A bit of vibration alerts you to things going on in the game and makes it more immersive. Not sure if you remember, but Sony tried taking out vibration from the industry with the Sixaxis controller, and gamers were furious. When you're just playing to have fun, the extra functionality of the rumble is much appreciated.

-i said its my opnion, and yeah if you spend 400 dollars and except it to be a media center i dont think you are a gamer. The ps3 i liked primarily for being able to you play online for free, no region lock, i can download foreign games with a different account and i can replace my harddrive with regular 2.5 standard. I havent played 1 single blue ray in my life on my ps3. But i apreciate it having blue ray because its much much harder to scratch this format unlike dvds, so there is less to worry about for the ps3 by buying used games from average joe.

When did I say you have to expect it to be a media center? Your statement is very shortsighted, especially considering that a console is not a small investment. In this era, most people use their consoles for more than just gaming. People don't want to go out and buy a $100 dedicated machine for playing their media, when their console can do it just fine. Having some extra functionality is always a good thing that adds value to your console, especially when said funtionality doesn't increase the price of the console. Playing some extra video files or having support for external media is a nice freebie for people who don't want to spend money buying dedicated media devices.

Comments in bold.

- you wanna proof ? pope up mgs4 or any 1080p game with your ps3. You can set your playstation video setting to either 1080p or 720p and therefor your game starts at either 1080p or 720p. If youre right then 1080p upscaled should look much better than 720p upscaled. But it doesnt both look just the same. Mgs4 runs at 1000x700 or somthing natively which is below both 720p or 1080p .

The ps3 is capable running every game in 1080p upscalled but almost every newer game nowdays is only in 720p upscaled including metal gear solid rising. Why is it you think, if its true what youre saying?

- depends in what energy source youre using if its renewble enery and none shale gas which is used then there is no impact. Also nuclear waste is just a little and makes so much more energy, it all depends what is more effecient. And i am pretty sure eletricity from your wall is more effecient and updated than batteries which are oudated technology. Game controllers are no remotes that you press view times, they werent designed to being charged with batteries in the first place, but the power from your wall. Also soon you can recicly nuclear waste anyways.

- @the rest, i allready said its my opinion. In my opinion if ps4 wouldnt even have any media features i would still buy it over the xbox for simple being more powerful and having higher resolutions. A console is for gaming the more game features the better. Sony is winning this battle with things like share play, free online for freetoplay games or being able to play the game while installing. Along having the stronger console.
