[quote name='mykevermin']SR2 isn't a GOD

SR1 is. And it's $29.99.[/QUOTE]Ah, manthing wrote "2" by mistake so I was a little confused.
And yes, that's ridiculous.

[quote name='DarkNessBear']Wooo! I'm like the only one waiting to see the Sonys Conference. Haha. Dunno if these "live video streams" are going to be real. Anyone got suggestions?[/QUOTE]No live streams.

Starts now actually.
 
[quote name='dallow']I thought retail for Saint's Row 2 is $30.

I put more than 50 hours into that game, unbelievable.
Thanks Target clearance. $12.xx[/QUOTE]

I want that game so fucking badly.. but only at 20 or below price tag.
 
[quote name='corrosivefrost']zew, what's your most anticipated game at this point, if P3P is your second now? (And what was your second?)[/QUOTE]

The Last Guardian all day.

Old second was Lost Planet 2.
 
I'd really like a slim since it's $299. Something has to be wrong with it though if they are still selling the 160 for $399.

Plus, I'd have to see how much I could get for my 160GB.
 
[quote name='Rei no Otaku']Atlus, please PLEASE port Persona 2 (the full game) to the PSP and bring it to the US.[/QUOTE]
Second!

Not even a rumble about BC? I am :bouncy: for the price cut, I'll finally have a Blu-ray player and all, but I still can't pull the trigger until I get some BC assurance. Sorry Sony.
 
[quote name='zewone']People who still care about BC at this point crack me up. :lol:[/QUOTE]

:whistle2:(

I got a ton of PS2 games to go through yet:

Ico
Shadow of the Collossus
MGS3
Beyond Good&Evil.
 
[quote name='whoknows']Are there any real pics of it yet?[/QUOTE]

The real pics look exactly like the old pics.

:cool: PS2 all day.
 
I hardly play PS2 games anymore, but...of all the information that was thrown against the wall for this Press Conference, that and GT5 being dated were the only announcements not brought up. Price drop happened, Slim happened, even Firmware 3.0 happened, but not PS2 BC or GT5 dated? Really now...you can't help but think it's a done deal at this point.

BTW, this update just strikes me as the Xbox 360 update for PS3 with some of those features. Namely the What's Happening Board, game/video store highlights, and the friends/messages numbers.
 
[quote name='KingBroly']BTW, this update just strikes me as the Xbox 360 update for PS3 with some of those features. Namely the What's Happening Board, game/video store highlights, and the friends/messages numbers.[/QUOTE]Exactly what I thought.
Which is good.

While I like the stoic look of the XMB, I appreciate the 'home-y' feel of the NXE since I can see my how many friends, messages I have at all times.

Animated themes looks nice.

I agree with Zew, PS3 has a fighting chance this season, but that's it.

For $50 more bucks than the new PSP, you could get a PS3. :lol:
 
[quote name='DarkNessBear']Yea! That'll show Sony huh? :roll:[/QUOTE]

lol, huh? I could give a shit. It's just the only thing keeping me from getting rid of my PS3 at this point.
 
Damn, I want a slim!!!!!!!

But these damn locked saves are going to keep me forever tied to my 20GB model.

Could always use a second BD player/system......... way down the line...
 
[quote name='DarkNessBear']If you are truly obsessed on getting a PS3 only if it has BC. Why not just try and find an older model? My PS3 plays PS2 games just fine.[/QUOTE]

I already have an 80GB BC PS3 assburgers...

:roll:
 
[quote name='DarkNessBear']If you are truly obsessed on getting a PS3 only if it has BC. Why not just try and find an older model? My PS3 plays PS2 games just fine.[/QUOTE]
I've been looking for an older model but they're too expensive. I'm not made of money. I also have no means of hooking up component cables to my HD monitor that doesn't require some $100 converter to look even decent. Factor in that I'm a patient man with a fairly hefty backlog and I can wait to see if these software Emotion engine rumors come to fruition.
 
PS2 games look shitty on PS3 and PS2 on an HDTV regardless.
I mean, it's playable, and fine, but I went to someone's house and they had a PS2 hooked to up an old CRT TV.

Daaamn, forgot how good it can look despite the messed up geometry that CRTs suffer from.
 
So. I finally got MAG downloaded and now I'm 87th in line in a queue to actually join a game. :cool:

This game is going to suck all kinds of wiener.

I guess I should have expected that since it's made by the SOCOM guys.
 
Definitely getting a Slim for my bedroom...yay Sony! It was a long road (in console life cycle years), but you're finally where you should've started in the first place. >_

wtf?
 
Well, I got to play for a little bit before the server crashed. The gameplay itself isn't bad.

I really like the intensity of having so many players. It reminds of Battlefield but on a much, much grander scale.
 
[quote name='manthing']How many wiggered out Army of Two rejects did you see?[/QUOTE]

Zero. The wigger team isn't in the beta. Only the other two PMCs.

[quote name='myke']Is the PS3 Slim a matte finish, or glossy like the old Chris Farley-sized PS3?[/QUOTE]All matte black save for the small section where the power-reset buttons and disc slot are. I believe that part is glossy somewhat.
 
[quote name='A Happy Panda']Yay. I'll finally get a PS3.

I really hope they update the firmware to include software BC...doubt it, but I can hope.[/QUOTE]I see it happening down the line.
 
You can sell the code too.
Easy 30-40 bucks if not more.

---

Myke, you gonna pay the piper?

[quote name='mykevermin']That's the thing: we're talking about Sony.

As you point out, PSP Go is $250.

PS3 Slim will be $400 at launch or I'll play through Haze without stopping.[/QUOTE]
 
There is no way I'm spending $250 for a PSPGo for any reason.

As for BC, it is no longer a factor for me. For one thing, I don't mind holding on to my Slim PS2--I like having those games on a dedicated platform. Also, I'm entrenched in this generation, and while I do have a backlog of PS2 titles I will eventually play or revisit for fun, I honestly don't play PS2 anywhere near as much as I used to. It's all 360 and PS3 stuff, with no let up in sight.

Hehe, way to hold Myke up to his claims. We expect a full review, lol.
