QUOTE (Spectatrix @ May 14 2006, 09:08 AM) You don't HAVE a point, because you're trying to avoid addressing the point you made earlier, which is what Jim was arguing against. Jim's post was not specifically about PS3 or Blu-Ray, but about your assertion that games with more content will be more expensive, even prohibitively so. Very large letters it is, then. CONTEXT CLUES, YOU JAMOKE WHAT IS THE CONSOLE THIS WHOLE MESS HAS BEEN ABOUT? PS3 WHAT SORT OF DISC SYSTEM DOES THIS CONSOLE USE? Blu-Ray BECAUSE THIS DISC SYSTEM HAS MORE SPACE AND IT IS A PROPRIETARY FORMAT, THAT WILL MEAN HIGHER COSTS hurrr...  TO ARGUE THAT CURRENT-GEN GAMES (SUCH AS MGS3 AND FFX WHICH *WERE NOT* DESIGNED FOR THE PS3) ARE AN APPROPRIATE MEASURE IS EQUIVALENT TO SODOMIZING BABY SEALS We have been discussing the PS3 for the last, what, 3 or 4 pages? With a few blatherings of other crap mixed in, but the PS3's been the main focus. How you missed this hugely abundant and obvious context is beyond me. But then again, that's what you get for going to bat for Jim ;D SO! Go ahead and take a few moments to recontextualize what I've said, smoke a cig, have a drink and STAY IN SCHOOL O_O dddddddddddddddd Timbo --------------------  |

QUOTE (Jim @ May 9 2006, 11:01 PM) Ah, yes, because buying the console that looks most appealing to me (can anyone say Metal Gear Solid 4 or Final Fantasy XIII?) makes me a fanboi? I never said I wouldn't buy the Wii nor did I say it'll suck or anything like that. I think the Wii has some good things going for it but I would take the PS3 over it. While the Wii is innovative, Sony still has the games I want and like and until they go over to a different console, I'll stick to Sony. I thought it was your love of hentai and WOW??

QUOTE (hodge @ May 11 2006, 09:44 AM) so far reports are that DS's controller isnt as good as they showed. unfortunate. expect the "next gen" consoles to make better utilization, oh well. at least they get a dragon warrior game on release. xbox should be pushing 120? titles by christmas. optimistic. id say 80 is probly a safer number but we'll see. btw lumines will be on live arcade, so there goes the only reason to buy a psp. the vista/live arcade connection might be interesting but i wouldnt expect anything mind blowing yet. this is still early on in this stage of gaming. and ps3's low end system wont even have hd-out capabilities. laughable. sony fucked up big on their consoles. their saving grace is "japanese games made by japanese", but with the cost of making games increasing so much you wont be seeing as many console specific games. even gran turismo will release on 360 the same date its on ps3, and if im not mistaken i believe gta will be on 360 first ? rev will drop at $250, xbox360(w/ hd et all) will be around $350 when ps3 hits, and ps3 will have limited supply and much higher cost. whats interesting is the 360 has been finally meeting/passing demands in supply so that stores can carry stock of them(couldnt find a 360 w/ hd in lubbock for a month). thisll be interesting, especially knowing itll all basically go down around black friday. Hodge, did you buy Dan's 360? -------------------- Southern Rock, beer and bears!

QUOTE (Timbo @ May 14 2006, 11:05 PM) TO ARGUE THAT CURRENT-GEN GAMES (SUCH AS MGS3 AND FFX WHICH *WERE NOT* DESIGNED FOR THE PS3) ARE AN APPROPRIATE MEASURE IS EQUIVALENT TO SODOMIZING BABY SEALS I'm well aware that this thread has turned into a discussion of PS3 and the proprietary Blu-Ray format. But you said: QUOTE You leave out one very important equation in this mess: More Content == More Cost == Higher Prices Timbo Is this assertion somehow unique to PS3/Blu-Ray? If so, please explain how/why. It seems to me that your equation should apply to all console and PC games, if it's true. Jim gave an example of two games that cost the same but had vastly different amounts of content, which seems to bring your equation into question. Is that so hard to understand? I understand quite well the context of this thread, but felt that your comment was not contextually specific. If you would like to restate your assertion and explain how it applied to PS3/Blu-Ray but NOT other consoles, then I will read what you have to say. But for god's sake, cut it out with the BIG LETTERS and your ad hominem jabs, yeesh. By the way, who changed the topic title? Will? -------------------- |
