Reasons Why NOT TO Get A PS3 (real shit)

[mr_magnum_filler]

1. Hardware's fuckin up before it's even released!

2. It's 600 fuckin dollars! I truly hope no one's dumb enough to spend 600 on a console.

3. Cell Is a PIECE OF SHIT!

4. It doesn't even come with a fuckin GAME! WTF? How are you gonna charge 600 for a console that doesn't come with a game? Remember neo-geo? Shit came with 2 games and 2 controllers, and it had a bangin ass library - but the shit flopped. 3DO - same shit. Price was too high, but at least those systems came with a GAME! You at least had something to play

5. It's gonna be problems (overheating is already a main problem)

6. Not As Much Texture Memory As 360

Basically saying, PS3 can't do this:



7. These Are just some of the cancelled games for ps3

Killing Day
Theseis (still comin for 360)
Elveon
Endless Saga
Condemned: Criminal Origins
WWE Smackdown '07
Oblivion
Splinter Cell: Double Agent
Dark RPG
Black Blade


8. Developers are weary... *read below*

9. 360 is more powerful according to leading gaming authority IGN

Why are developers abandoning the PS3 when the PS1 and PS2 were the two most successful game consoles in history?


Before Sony announced the $499 and $599 prices for the PS3, developers were uncertain of their target demographic. Since the PS3 will be competing with the 360 and Wii, developers must market their games to appeal to the hardcore crowd of gamers who are dying to get their hands on Sony's 1080p bluray playing game machine. A game studio that was developing a mediocre PS3 game before the price announcement would think twice before spending millions on a game that won't sell. The $600 price tag will also reduce the PS3's install base, and thus potential customers. A leading industry analyst put it this way: "Many developers think the console's initial high price will lead to slow sales and are holding off on creating games for Sony."

EA has significanly reduced PS3 developement in favor of it's competitors. Atari and SNK are holding off on making games for the PS3 until 2007 and 2009. Ubisoft has stated that the PS3's price must drop if they want to compete, but have nothing but praise for the Wii. Many in the industry believe Nintendo's innovative console will have mass market appeal when it launches before the PS3 for less than $250. Existing GameCube development practices translate well to the similar Wii architecture, allowing development costs to be 1/3 that of the other guys. Microsoft is also in the business of trimming production costs. When the XNA Framework is fully implemented, identical game code will run on both PC and 360. John Carmack, the man behind Wolfenstein, Doom, and Quake believes the Xbox 360 has "far and away the best development tools." Hiromichi Tanaka of Square Enix remarked that porting Final Fantasy XI to the 360 was a fairly quick task while a PS3 version would need to be started from scratch, a 2-3 year process.


Sony has previously relied on its dominant brand name to attract developers, but that may not be enough this time around. The recent resignation of Sony's Developer Relations Manager and a Top PR executive shows that Sony may be having problems managing developer relations and/or sinking public opinion. Developers are not keen on the difficulty of PS3 development and often complain about lack of support. The high cost of PS3 development, the low install base, and the problems with bluray all lead to one problem: the PS3 may have a small library of games.



Now, who's still dumb enough to buy this shit to do anything but put on ebay?

[lively shively]

regardless of all examples.
i'm not buyin 1.lol

600 chucks could do nice upgrades on the pc.
amongst other things.

that reminds me, i need to go shoppin for a new deck for the car

[Legend]

PS3 is such a waste of money

[spleenforsoul]

Im gonna wait for the price to drop. Like I didn't even get a ps2 until they came out with the slim one, which is what I got now. PS3 don't mean that much to me that I gotta have one as soon as it comes out.

Of course there are going to be those people camping outside Best Buy's and Circuit City's to be the first ones to get one.

[ATL]

i guess nice list.. but yea wasnt gonna get one, this soon, anyway

[FAME]

i want one....but not for 600 bones....i'll get one later down the line....lol, shit i still gotta get my 360, soon as possible

lol either does 360... That's not an in-game shot. Every consol looks good from their movie shots.

I'll be picking it up the second it's released cause by then all these bugs will be fixed by the March release date. A shitload of games will be released by then. And PS2 had movie graphics like that. My mate says his Xbox 360 overheats and shit. And when he charges his controllers the console runs slow as fuck, so hopefully the PS3 will see these bugs and work them out
