You should've added in that Sony isn't making a profit and Fred Savage (vice president of the vice president of SCE) will not allow a price cut without Sony breaking even and then you would've had an authentic TMK post.

Oh, and two links that nobody cares to read.

Lame. But they're stuck there this gen period. They drop the PS3 price, MS will drop the 360 price again (especially since it's already been several months since the last 360 price drop).

By launching at $100-200 more they doomed themselves to always be the highest priced console, and while the exclusive game lineup is solid it by no means blows away the 360's to entice people who only buy one or the other to shell out the extra cash.

The thing is the PS2 still sells a lot. This price drop will probably spur sales even more, and help give Sony the money it's not getting from PS3 sales.

1. They cared more about winning the HD movie format war--which they did.

2. They banked on enough people caring about early adopting Blu Ray to pay the extra price and keep them on top in sells. That didn't happen, many who did care (like me) just waited for stand alone players to get cheaper rather than buying a PS3. But it did help, sells would be even worse if it was $600 and didn't play blu rays (but that's moot as without BR it wouldn't have cost that much) it would have sold even worse.

Maybe Sony needs to release a bare bones PS3 w/out the blu-ray player to get a sub $300 price point out there.

(and yes I know it would be confusing to have that kinda sku out there and its getting rid of one of the main features)

The games are on Blu Ray disks, so they can't get rid of the Blu Ray drive. And I can't imagine cutting BR movie playback would save them much cost per console.

How would that work though since games are on blu-rays? Having it just not play movies would be as stupid as the Wii not being able to play DVD's.

Plenty of games I want to play on the PS3. Other than the few JRPGs out on the 360, there's really no exclusives there I really want. As for the controller, I greatly prefer it to the 360 one. The only exception being when I play FPS games, and I rarely play those anyway.

Yeah, both have plenty of good games, and which better suits an individual is just a matter of opinion.

360 fits my needs more since I mainly play FPS and Western RPGs and they have stuff like Halo, Gears, Mass Effect etc. as exclusives. And controller wise I prefer the 360 one greatly, offset analog sticks are much better for dual analog games (which covers FPS and WRPGs).

As for system longevity, I've had my 360 since Oct. 2007 and have yet to have any issues. *also knocks on wood*

2. The RROD problem is from the graphics processor overheating, doubt an HDD install would help that. That should just help lessen DVD drives dying.

The games that froze on me were installed games, but I doubt the disc drive had anything to do with that anyway.

Wait, is blade lag not a normal thing?
When a lot of stuff happens at once (get message, friend invites to party) I've had it hang for 35 seconds before it fixes itself.

What Q wierdo?



----------------

distfx:

Wow, you busted me. I've never actually timed how long a 360 install was. When I get a game I'm gonna install, I'm usually coming back from getting the game, and I do other things around the house while it installs.

I know Bully didn't take long to install. Last game I installed was 50 Cent, and I don't think that took long either.


I do know for a fact that *no* 360 install took as long as downloading/installing the Lair patches.

:booty:

Takes about 10-12 mins for 3.x GB games on 360 for me.
About 20-25 mins for full size games. 6-7gb.

I have about 7 games installed. Time to delete I guess.

Your drive is slow.

Mine takes about half that for either size.

Install time are guesses for me on what they felt like.
I don't usually sit and watch.

Now that I think about it, there's no way they take 25 mins even for a maxed out game. So it probably is half for each.

10 minutes to install and 30 seconds to delete games is 'effort'?


Not really effort I guess, but just 10-20 minutes (or whatever) of precious free time that could be spent playing a game rather than waiting on an install.

I've not had any issues with my drive and very few games have had load times that annoyed me so I just haven't got around to trying it.

I was just thinking of something earlier .. about how PS3 uses blu-ray discs. How comes there isn't a graphical improvement or extra material compared to SDs? I seem to recall an image of what MGS4 would look like on the 360 and it was a box of about 9 standard discs to the PS3s one.

10 min? What games have you been installing? It takes me about 25 min on average.

... You got me there, but it still takes me 25 min to install a game onto the 360 on average.

EDIT: Better yet, tell me a game you installed that took 10 min, I'll see if I have it, install it and time it.


What the fuck? I've installed 2 games and it took a little over 5 minutes both times. (Prince of Persia and Fallout 3)



<--- wished there was a BD Lebowski.



Truer words were never spoken.

EDIT: Dallow, you need to get the Peter Pan Honey Roasted peanut butter (crunchy is better but creamy is awesome as well). It's the best peanut butter ever made. :drool:

It's just capacity mak.

BDs hold more data, aside from a couple other smaller techinical things (speed of data transfer), there's no difference from DVDs.

Lazy devs as to why they don't put more content on the BD game though.
It's rarely done aside from some games giving the option for uncompressed audio of which you need an HDMI receiver to take advantage of.

Examples of actual content are the CE version of Stranglehold, where they actually put a 1080p cut of the movie Hard Boiled on the disc.
Or The Darkness where the little movies and shows you'd see on TVs in the game were full length rather than just smaller cuts.

There's probably some other stuff too, but it's all minor I'm sure.

Yeah, like I said it's not so much the effort as it's just having not gotten around to it since playing off the disc doesn't bother me and I only have a 20 GB HDD. :D

Next time I'm playing a long game that has some loading (maybe when I get around to Fallout 3) I'll install it to the HDD and see if it's worth bothering with to me. Not going to bother with the current games I'm playing (L4D, Fable II) as they're pretty short and will be done with pretty quickly.

was just noticing this while browsing the trade forum for a PSP. and azumang, I would offer, but I'm looking for a 2000 core system only that's exploitable.


That's a big part of the reason of why I stopped trading with randoms on this board. It seemed like everyone has "low wants" but have items that are "hard to part with". Yeah ok, I get it asshole .. you want $50 for Fuzion Frenzy 2 and you're willing to give me $20 for Tales of Vesperia Collectors Edition. :bomb:

exactly. half the lists I look at are "items that are hard to part with." I don't mind people wanting ebay prices, I think that's fair, but jeez, be upfront :bomb:

I don't think a regular old forum set up is any good for trade lists. Even the B/s/t thread at neogaf seems to work better. I forget if Cheapy is already doing this soon, but a searchable system with individual pages would be so kick ass.


as for "exploitable," Azumang I do buy PSP games, but well, there aren't really any PSP games. :lol: I may buy Phantasy Star at some point, but I do it to play PS1 games. and I just got a good deal on an already exploited one on half.com.

I believe Cheapy said that he plans to implement a system that will make trading here "better than Goozex". It all has to do with the new collection/wishlist system.
