So if I can get a 60gb PS3 for $300 flat with a 3 year extended warrant included, that's a pretty good deal, right?
I think I'm finally going to buckle and complete the set. Gotta catch them all indeed. |

damn that is a hella good deal, and to be honest, all my friends are razzing me by calling me a traitor, cause they all have xbox360's and i went ps3 way...guess im gonna complete the set too. I just found better deals for ps3's on craiglists than all the old xbox 360 on sale and overpriced.
Btw, Rock Band is a downright awesome game. |

| Yeah - I've got a 360 and a Wii already, and really the only thing left is a PS3. Now with Blu-Ray pulling out ahead, I guess it's just the first time I've actually considered buying one. |

Doooooooooo itttttttt. $300 for a 60gb is a sick deal. IMO, the 60gb one is also the best of the ps3 packages as well. I ended up getting a sick deal off of craigslist similar to this ~6 months ago.
Just in case you don't know what's in store for ps3 games this year, I'd check this link out: http://www.ps3fanboy.com/2008/01/07...ok-for-in-2008/. It's gonna be a good year!
And I can totally relate 100% of what you wrote, Rodrico. My one biggest regret about not having xbox360 is not being able to play with all my friends online in Gears of War.. christ that game is addicting. I promised them that I would buy a 360 around the time whenever Gears of War 2 comes out. |

Thats an outright INCREDIBLE deal. Just too good to pass up. I would jump on it. I'm sure theres enough already out and enough coming for you to enjoy a PS3 next to your 360 and Wii. Plus, like you said, I think blu-ray will end up being the winner, whenever the winner is finally declared. |

So, other than Uncharted - what should I even bother playing?
:conf:
I totally despise Resistance: Fall of Man. |

You no like Resistooonce? Well, if you didnt dig Halo, Resistance wouldnt change your mind either. I love it, but everyone has their own taste.
For starters, try out Heavenly Sword and Warhawk. The former is a God of War-like game that has beautiful graphics and a sweet-ass fighting system. Owners of the game, however, complain that its a little short (so you may just wanna rent it). Warhawk is just insane from what I hear. Total online chaos using land, sea, or air vehicles, or you can just go at it on foot. Comparable to the Battlefield games, only better from what the reviews indicate.
If you are into RPG's, you may wanna at least rent Folklore, the game scored a 9.0 on IGN, so I'm guessing its at least of somewhat quality. If you never played Ninja Gaiden on Xbox, try out Ninja Gaiden Sigma, absolute blast. Motorstorm is a classic and will no doubt be among the new Playstation franchises that are created this generation. Just be sure you enjoy racing games. Also, you can download Gran Turismo HD off the PS Store Network completely FREE. Kickass game, and its replayable since you can beat old records and what not.
Ratchet and Clank is good, mindless fun as well. Also, be sure to browse that Playstation Store, because there are some real treats on there, such as Everyday Shooter, Tekken HD, and Super Stardust HD. They arent free though, but you CAN download a demo of Stardust if you wanna give it a test run.
All that right there will probably break your wallet, so Ill stop there. Thats probably the best the PS3 has to offer anyway. Enjoy your purchase, I'm sure you'll have a blast with it. |

I'm bored as a bitch, so why not post random news tidbits...
Resistance 2 is set for November 2008. 60, thats right, SIXTY person multiplayer has been confirmed, with 8 player co-op. Sounds a bit crazy. Some of the images are glorious.
Edit: just realized the below screen cap is the first Resistance. Still looks pretty though, doesn't it?
Then we have MotorStorm 2, sequel to 2007's awesome off-road racer that eventually became packaged with 60GB PS3's (and still is, however I believe they will be phasing this bundle out to prep for the MGS4 bundle coming in June)
I can't find any screenshots, but apparently this time around the game will NOT just take place on dirt, but also in tropical environments and such.
Then there's the almighty, controversial Killzone 2, and I say that only because of the original claims that the very first E3 2005 trailer was 'in-game', when later it was revealed that it was pre-rendered. Still, the game has ALREADY accumulated some awards for its impressive art design and amazing visuals, and I'm betting this game will improve upon the very-mediocre original.
- LittleBigPlanet is soon beginning BETA testing, hopefully ready for its original September 2008 release. This just might be the most anticipated game of the year. Or at least very ing close.
- Rumors abound are suggesting that Sony and Konami will be jointly releasing an MGS4 + hard drive bundle perhaps weeks after the game hits store shelves. People are hinting that, like Devil May Cry 4, the game will require an installation that may take up quite a bit of space. Being an owner of a pultry 20GB PS3, I hope this rumor is NOT true.
- Recent interviews with Square Enix have suggested that they are near guaranteeing a 2008 release date for Final Fantasy XIII. Final Fantasy XIII Versus, however, will not be striking until 2009. Both are, as of now, PS3 exclusive, and due to intense CG cut-scenes, will likely stay that way due to lack of storage space on a DVD.
- SOCOM Confrontation will be online-only. Meaning it must be purchases via PSN. This was recently revealed on PS3Fanboy from a 'undisclosed' source. A more realistic prediction is that it will be released on BOTH PSN and Blu-Ray disc.
- A new PS3 exclusive head-set is releasing in the coming months. Surprising considering Warhawk bundled a completely separate bluetooth headset of its own. This one is said to be of higher quality. Not sure if it will be compatible with cell phones and the like.
I wouldn't waste my time making this up, the video game industry fascinates me so this is all random I've accumulated through the past month or so. Probably pretty easy to find backup on this stuff if you want confirmation. |
