Re: The PS3 Is Here.

I was unaware you had to install your PS3 games

Re: The PS3 Is Here.

Wait. You have to install your PS3 games? So, I guess they couldn't figure out how to keep Blu-Ray from overheating, huh?

Re: The PS3 Is Here.

Haha Sony nice going there. It's probably because it's impossible to read the discs at a good pace without overheating and/or major load times.

Also don't forget that Blu-ray holds, what, up to 30 gigs per CD? LOLO NICE JOB SONY WAY TO TAKE ADVANTAGE OF BLU-RAY.

Even if you only need t install like 10 gigs of a full blown 30 gig game, that's still a lot of stuff on your harddrive and it would take some serious fix-up and code tweaking to make a 20 gig game load smoothly on Blu-ray.

Re: The PS3 Is Here.

You don't necessarily have to install the games. Just if you want the load times to be in a more acceptable range.

This is Sony's solution to the problem.

Re: The PS3 Is Here.

"solution". Has Sony ever done anything like this before? I have some sort of feeling they have... can't remember what it is at the moment, though.

Re: The PS3 Is Here.

I was talking to my friend about how crappy the PS3 is going to be until she reminded me of how SONY ALWAYS REMAKES THEIR STUFF AFTER BEING RELEASED. So I guess a crappy PS3 will lead to a better PS3 when they release PS4 rofl.

PSTwos have broken too, you know. The slim ones.

And now I remember. The PSP Square circuit being out of alignment with the button. Shortcuts. That's how Sony "solves" problems.

GG mentioning that in the first post.

Blu Rays load slower than DVDs, but as developers get more experienced with the console, load times will shrink anyway. Compare first gen PS2 load times with games nowdays.

November 17th, not November 7th.

Re: The PS3 Is Here.

That's because Sony is retarded.

Their first billboard looked like ///7

Which, to me, could be 11/7

Which would be tomorrow.

Whereas Nintendo has 11.19.2006 right on the front page.

Just another thing Sony managed to do wrong.

Edit: There's a video of NBA07's load times and such. It took thirty seconds to get to the menu screen once they said "loading". It took about a minute from the time he started the game. It also had to be installed.

Re: The PS3 Is Here.

I'm going to camp out at target...They are building targets all over out in the boonies where I live. Friend works there and is setting a few aside so we can purchase at least 5 and then sell them before x-mas gets here.

Re: The PS3 Is Here.

The sad part is, you can probably find people stupid enough to give you a profit.

Re: The PS3 Is Here.

good luck with your friend, so long as putting items aside won't get his ass fired. however, if your friend is puuting a few aside for you, why would you camp out? (in the booines no less?!) oh well, more power to ya
