That article is retarded... why buy a system now when the games arn't here?

Why not wait till something good comes out.. Good games will come out for the PS3 and hopefully an actual price drop for the 80gig.

@Hus - Falcon 360's with HDMI and 65mn chip have already started appearing in circulation.

If you see a 360 box with "Support HDMI" then it's a falcon...

that bad part is the PS3's HDMI is way better then the 360's.

360 - HDMI 1.2

PS3 - HDMI 1.3

look up the differences.

 @Soriku - Kingdom Hearts is made by Square Enix not Disney. So KH will be on the PS3 weither its KH3 or KHX it will be on it.

So they've been lying to me all this time when they talk about DQ9 coming to the DS? Damn!
If Disney wants the game on the Wii, and S-E wants Disney characters in their game, it won't be on the PS3. They need Disney to give them permission to continue the use of all their registered trademarks.



To cash in my CC rewards points for $300 in Circuit City gift cards to purchase a 360 or not: That is the question.

ssj12: ...says who? Seriously, you're very confident in something that is very debatable.



PS3: 5.51m/51w, avg 108,039/w (up 239)
360: 12.93m/102w, avg 126,764/w (up 625), leads PS3 by 7.42m (up 70k), avg lead 18,725/w (up 386)
Wii: 13.52m/51w, avg 265,098/w (dn 1,102), leads PS3 by 8.01m (up 90k), avg lead 157,059/w (dn 1,341)

If 360 sales stabilize, PS3 sales increases needed to pass 360 by...
01/08: (008w) +875.8%, 04/08: (021w) +344.4%, 07/08: (034w) +219.3%, 10/08: (047w) +163.5%
01/09: (060w) +131.8%, 04/09: (073w) +111.4%, 07/09: (085w) +098.1%, 10/09: (099w) +086.7%
If Wii sales stabilize, PS3 sales increases needed to pass Wii by...
01/08: (008w) +1072.%, 04/08: (021w) +498.4%, 07/08: (034w) +363.4%, 10/08: (047w) +303.1%
01/09: (060w) +269.0%, 04/09: (073w) +246.9%, 07/09: (085w) +232.6%, 10/09: (099w) +220.3%
If PS2 sales freeze, Wii sales increases needed to pass PS2 (as of Mar07, 108.4m) by...
2008: (008w) +4373.8%, 2009: (060w) +0496.5%, 2010: (112w) +0219.6%, 2011: (165w) +0116.9%
2012: (217w) +0064.9%, 2013: (269w) +0033.1%, 2014: (321w) +0011.5%, 2015: (376w) -0004.8%
At +0% it will pass it in 358w, the week ending September 19th, 2014, at an age of 409w (7y44w).
Current age of PS2: 7y37w.

Last update: Week ending November 3, 2007

Nintendo has an exclusivity deal with Disney. KH3 would have to remove the disney aspect of it to be on the PS3. Square said they aren't making anything new for the PS3 unless it actually picks up, but they are making games for wii. It is speculation that it would be for wii, but there isn't really any chance of it being for PS3.

Pirates of the Carribean was on every platform, and that is owned by Disney...



We had two bags of grass, seventy-five pellets of mescaline, five sheets of high-powered blotter acid, a salt shaker half full of cocaine, a whole galaxy of multi-colored uppers, downers, screamers, laughers…Also a quart of tequila, a quart of rum, a case of beer, a pint of raw ether and two dozen amyls.  The only thing that really worried me was the ether.  There is nothing in the world more helpless and irresponsible and depraved than a man in the depths of an ether binge. –Raoul Duke

It is hard to shed anything but crocodile tears over White House speechwriter Patrick Buchanan's tragic analysis of the Nixon debacle. "It's like Sisyphus," he said. "We rolled the rock all the way up the mountain...and it rolled right back down on us...."  Neither Sisyphus nor the commander of the Light Brigade nor Pat Buchanan had the time or any real inclination to question what they were doing...a martyr, to the bitter end, to a "flawed" cause and a narrow, atavistic concept of conservative politics that has done more damage to itself and the country in less than six years than its liberal enemies could have done in two or three decades. -Hunter S. Thompson

 Like I said one of those KHs game will be on the PS3. Kingdom Hearts X is a spinoff to the Kingdom Hearts franchise meaning it doesnt have to have Disney characters in it. 

 @The_vagabond7 - you have link? because I've read that they were considering being KH to multiple platforms meaning what I said about is plausible. Nintendo gets disney, Sony gets w/e Square has in mind for characters in a KH game.

Why does this continue to come up? This is completely a false rumor. Disney games have been coming out multiplatform and there are games coming out in the distant future being published by companies that Disney owns only heading to 360/PS3. Disney said nothing more than that they would continue massive support for the DS (in which they are the 2nd best publisher only behind Nintendo) and also commit resources to the Wii.

The time RRoD is really fixed is when the new 65 nano chip 360s will be out, and thats not till 08

Hus, I have some news for you and hopefully you're sitting down because this news might make you cry and your legs shake and give out from under you, oh and you better have a change of underwear handy because this news is big.  Those new 360s you're talking about... Guess what... They're appearing in stores NOW.  That's right, new systems with 65nm chips, quieter dvd drives, and hdmi, are now making their way onto store shelves...  Without the RROD issue I wonder what ammunition PS3 supporters will arm themselves with... 

Oh and if you want to make yourself feel better you should go to Burger King and have some food, just ignore the Halo 3 packaging on everything...

owned O.o

But i do support ps3 but wont have one till they actually have some games till then woo xbox woo

 



                 With regard to Call of Duty 4 having an ultra short single player campaign, I guess it may well have been due to the size limitations of DVD on the XBox 360, one of various limitations multi-platform game designers will have to take into consideration-Mike B   

Proud supporter of all 3 console companys

Proud owner of 360wii and DS/psp              

Game trailers-Halo 3 only dissapointed the people who wanted to be dissapointed.

Bet with Harvey Birdman that Lost Odyssey will sell more then Blue dragon did.

Regardless of whether Kingdom Hearts will be on the PS3 or not my point still stands ...

I'm willing to spend $300 on a system if I can see that it offers a wide assortment of games that I can not get on another platform; certainly Sony will offer some games but not enough on their own to justify the price. Kingdom Hearts will not be enough ... I'm willing to spend $100 for a couple of games but at $300 I want my money's worth.

We really don't know what the line-up will look like because it is unlikely that Sony will be at that price level until  2009 at the earliest; unless something changes they could be very far behind in sales and most of their third party support could be multiplatform games...
