PS3, is that real?

I do agree with you about the price though, as that is down to personal preference. If you aren't interested in having a HDTV and watching Blu-ray movies, then the price of the PS3 is not really justified until there are price drops.

Does the PS3 have a blue ray writer?, that would make it worth the extra cash as blue ray writers are selling for over £600 on OcUK .

The one PS3 video I have seen thats impressed me is Heavenly Sword.

Yeah i think that is going to be the PS3's killer launch app. i can;t wait for it, hope its as good as it is pretty.

The PS3 will not blow away PCs. The PC will pretty much always be superior to consoles (the 360 still hasn't beat my average PC with a 6800 and A64 3500 running farcry) but Consoles certainly have their place

Consoles typically take a few years before devs get the best out of them, although by the time this happens PC hardware is obviously miles ahead.

I have a 3700+/6600GT and there are games such as COD2 which look better on my 360 (without HDTV), even though the 360 hardware costs less than half the price of my Mobo/CPU/RAM GFX card.

i agree with zhx about pre orders,i work at gamestation and the initial pre orders for the ps3 are huge compared with the wii
i showed some kids what the wii and ps3 could do.the kids looked at wii and said crap but seemed to drool over the ps3
looks like only fanboys or girls buying the wii

yeah there all pre rendered. I remember when i first saw that killzone one i was just stunned. Then i heard it was pre rendered and thought sony suck. Ive never been a huge fan of sony but never had anything against them. This time round how ever i seem to have a huge dislike for them. Blatently stealing 360's central button idea. Stealing Wii's controller. They blatently thought when they first showed it **** we need something a bit new and just stole the ideas. I think the PS3 will pump out some nice graphics but i dont see how they can expect people to pay such large amounts especially when it is just a little bit up from a 360. I was amazed when i went into a shop and 23 people had pre-ordered a PS3 but only 2 people a Wii. I simply dont understand but i guess each to there own

Is it just me or does the kill zone one look like the unreal 3.0 engine? And does the Assassin one looks close to the call of Juarez demo on my pc, needs the FSAA and it would be there. Not really sure if next gen consoles are really going to look that great by the time they are all out and fully matured. I really think with MS xdna and dx10 we will see the 360 and pc move on togeather in leaps and bounds leaving the ps3 in the dust...

hehe, "omg look amazing ps3 graphics superior to a pc" yet it was all rendered on a mac? Makes you think how marketing actually works It's a clever business they suck you into.

The way things work is usually the initial ingame footage they say it will be like is more like the next next gen gear.

If you look at what the Xbox was initially said to be capeable of it looks along the lines of your average 360 title.

Most of them have been later said to be pre-rendered footage.

agreed.

sony pulling the wool over people eyes again, although they are impressive pre-renders.

Every company does it - let's stop only ever using this argument against Sony!

Reason why I disliked the Xbox - it was ported from PC. The reason why it worked was programmers could just focus on one set of hardware.

Er...I think that's the case with ALL consoles. The programmers can focus on one set of hardware whether it's a Megadrive, a PS2 or a 360.

I don't use that argument against sony all the time...But they do kind of ask for it

So? Just the fact that it uses much of the same hardware doesn't make it the same. I imagine quite a lot of mobile phones and things like that use a similar processor to a DS or GBA but that doesn't make them the same.

Unless you mean you disliked it because so many of the games were ports, which is a fair point.

Did you explain that the footage you were showing was not ingame ps3 stuff?
Also did you state that the wii is not about producing the best graphics but a different syle of gameplay?
Also to call customers fanboys etc because they may buy a wii shows you should not be working at gamestation.
Thats why i do not use places like game and gamestation you lot rarely know what your talking about and it shows in your post.

But it does appear that Sony are the ones that are ALWAYS doing it.
Though I don't think they'll ever top 'The Getaway' promotion.

I'm still waiting for "Toy Story Graphics" on the PS2!
