Re: The PS3 Is Here.

I'm going to get it, rumor has it that in January there will be another version of the Ps3. 800$, right now XBOX360 has a 5.1 graphics processor, PS3 has a 5.3. As I was saying the new one will be 800 and it will have a 5.5 graphics processor. There would be no game for that kind of processor can dish out. 5.1 to 5.3 is a big difference, 5.5 is unimaginable. I dought there will be 1, and i am not going to spend that much anyway. Call of Duty 3 online, best ever.

Dude, the games come with a set graphics resolution.

There would be no reason to release a better version. Two things would happen, either the games would look the same because they would have to be backward compatable.

Or players with older version couldn't play the game

PS3 will always be the same until Sony makes it smaller a four or five years from now. And even then, the graphics hardware won't change.

Re: The PS3 Is Here.

No, that's how much he spent on it.

If he sells them for 1,000 a pop, that's 100 grand.

He could probably go for 1,200 like SOME RETAIL STORES ARE DOING.

Re: The PS3 Is Here.

Sony could have milked so much more money with the PS3s they made. I am surprised they didn't.

Re: The PS3 Is Here.

So, Kotaku this morning is LOADED with news articles from TV news, newspapers, etc. regarding people waiting in line for this.

Normally, having people wait in line for days or even weeks before your console launches is a good thing, right?

Not for Sony. Almost everyone questioned on every single news article said "I'm getting it to re-sell it."

There have been some people in North Carolina who are doing the exact same thing as the Japan launch: getting homeless people to wait in line for it.

It's pretty horrible. But in the end, this is the exact thing I've been saying ever since I heard about the launches.

But, riddle me this: If everyone is selling their PS3s on eBay, who the hell is going to buy 'em?

And finally, this heartwarming conclusion.

Despite the disappointing number of folks planning on eBaying their shiny new systems, I was greatly bolstered by this one, nameless Kotaku reader. For me he represents the true spirit of being a gamer. Before I took off into the rising sun, he left me with this one, final thought.

"Hey, be sure to mention that I am selling my spot in line! I'm number 17 of 20 for the 60GB!"

Edit: Just to be thorough, I went out myself to see some of the lines. Sure enough, there were clusters of about a dozen people outside the Wal-Mart and Target in the area. They'll be re-selling them on eBay.

Ok, so it's not like I went out specifically for that reason, but it was something I could do along the way.

Re: The PS3 Is Here.

lol, ebaying them, i wouldn't buy one knowing i could get a used car for the price of two of them. Oh well, perhaps AFTER they cut down the price and start launching really awesome games, people would wanna keep them. Just watch, i bet celebrities are going to get some, play them, then the media will say: Such and Such has bought a PS3 and is loving every minute of it.

Same goes for the wii, but it will be more like: Something County has the most Wiis ever sold in the States.

Re: The PS3 Is Here.

Can't they make like two different types of controllers for each console?
Revolution, Gamecube
PS2, PS3
Xbox, Xbox360.
So you actually play the game comfortably
