may surpass a DVD in quality? You're not getting the point. I want the HD quality. recompressing it to the point where it's about dvd quality or slightly better is pointless.
Agreed, bittorrent is fine when I miss a TV show or am not sure if a movie will be good, but it's not going to be replacing an actual DVD for me. And as I am a sucker and have both an Xbox 360 HD-DVD add-on and a PS3, i'll be sticking to movies in 1920x1080 on my HDTV via HDMI;-)
Not to say there aren't HD rips out there, but most are usually at lower res than the original BR/HDDVD and if not are redicuosly huge and you still need a way to get it to your TV (yes, I know you can hook your PC to a TV but that just seems like way too much effort and im damn lazy.)
You do realize Virtua Fighter 5 is being released on the XBox 360 as well though right? So I don't really see this as reason to buy it on the PS3 for $100 - $200 more than it would run you on the Xbox 360. And if the past is anything to go by, the 360 version will have nice online play and voice chat...does it on the PS3?
Sony is a little over 1.4 million PS3's *shipped* as of now, you think they are going to sell 5 million more, especially with Europe's '$840'ish USD price tag? And given that HDTV's are not as "common" in the US? Keep dreaming.
1) I assume you refer to the leaked *ALPHA* shots, so it's irrelevant.
2) Relevant how? Dedicated or not, i've never had a problem playing any 360 title on Xbox Live.
3) Have you played Halo / Halo 2? With 8 players a decent average lifespan is 2 minutes. 8 players is plenty chaotic enough, and if the game is designed around those numbers and it's fun who cares? It's an FPS, not an RTS, I don't need or want 100 people running around. 16 players on Halo 3 should be more than fine.
4) What feedback? Cite please.
5) You get what you pay for. The only people I hear complaining about the cost of Xbox Live are the people who don't have it. Those that do are quite happy.
Sony's online service is, to be blunt, shiat. Each games does its own thing, there is no integration to speak of, and there are no standards. Yes, it IS free. So is PSP and (most) PS2 online games. So is Wii and DS. The problem is they all suck badly online beyond the bare minimum basics.
I also own all of the systems i've just trash talked, including the PS3. Do you?
*content* wise it is said to be the same. However, this isn't just an emulated version of the PSOne title either. They literally ported it using the original assets and so it has true 16:9 widescreen support and higher resolution textures. All the music, cgi, and cheesy dialog is intact;-)
Real football is within your reach! Real FPS are withing your reach (Just join the Marines!)
I am sick of people telling fans of this series to 'just get a real guitar!' Sure, I could spend years becoming good at Guitar. Or, I coukd load up GH2, mess around, and have decent sounding stuff within minutes whilst messing around with drunk friends. This is karaoke for guitars. You know what happens when Karaoke people try to sing for real? They become filler for the first few episodes of "American Idol".
This is about someone who just wants to mess around and have instant fun.
Speaking for myself, I have a 360 and a Windows box for games. Having one does not mean excluding others. Grow up. One is no more 'real' than the other.
This new model will become the new 'premium' and the old premium the new 'core'; price for both will remain the same.
And if MS really love me they would offer some kind of trade in plan for those that bought the 20GB drives;p
HDMI isn't a huge deal for me. It'd be nice, but I only have one HDMI input on my TV anyway and the cablebox is using it. Component 720p already looks quite good.
I could time travel your ass back there, put you next to Kennedy in the limo, and you would just claim it was my CIA mind probe giving you false memories.
The photo's were faked? Besides the fact that 57789923 experts looked at them? Despite the fact, that his own wife said she took the photo's? Besides the fact he owned the same type of camera that was used to take the pictures?
You're worse than the freakin Intelligent Design nuts.
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=I-cri43ttTo&NR Also this. Notice JFK and Connally react at the exact same instant, right after passing the sign because they were hit by the same bullet. Also shows the 3d model's positioning to be correct.
Oswald owned the gun used to kill JFK, and there are pictures of him holding it. Marina Oswald testified in 1964 and 1978 that she took the photographs at Oswald's request.
He had used the same rifle earlier in attempt to assassinate General Walker.
He attempted the assassination on April 10, 1963. Though he did not leave specifics of his plans in writing, Oswald did leave a note in Russian for Marina with instructions for her to follow -- should he be jailed in Dallas, or otherwise disappear. neutron activation tests later proved that the Walker bullet was from the same cartridge manufacturer that the two bullets which later struck Kennedy were from.
He was seen carrying what he told co-workers were 'shower rods' into the building. He was the only employee missing from the building after the assassination. He shot and killed a police officer while attempting escape, this same gun was found on him when he was arrested.

Nice try tho.
So I want to make sure I have this right?

Wii is outselling PS3 almost 4:1
For every 1 PS3 there are almost 10 Xbox 360's
Sony = awesome?

That should read: "...as 'common' in Europe as the US."

It's the only way to be sure ...
I have a magical stone that protects me from tiger attacks. I have been using it for years and not one attack!
This proves it works.
Now if I try to commit suicide will I be charged with Attempted Murder?
in advance: I'm not informed as to her opinion.
Does it go beyond just "Keep mature games out of the hands of minors"?

If the biggest negative about your product is that people will bury you in the desert to take yours, you must be doing something right.
Sony is after our Hearts and Minds and will use unsold PS3's to rebuild the World Trade Center at 1:1 scale.... ...in every U.S. city.

Yea, because in California, we have major earthquakes, like ALL the time. We have to rebuild our entire civilization twice a week!
My mistake.
