Oblivion froze huh? Not the first time I've heard complaints about the Xbox version - won't MS release patches and fixes over Xbox Online though? Heavenly Sword will be the first beat 'em up I'll buy since Tekken 3 lol, none have appealed to me over the years - correct that I have Smash Brothers. But yeah can't wait for that one, and I really want FFXIII but XII isn't even out yet lol!! What are they doing to me I can't afford this, my cars leaking 3 kinds of fluids lol!!

No. That was just a sequel to X thus X-2 instead of XII. FFXII is going to be released on PS2, and XIII the first of the PS3 releases. Trust me I've been crowned RPG king by Svtstang himself lol (long story). Here's a link...

download hd movies off live, now thats a waste of time and money. You can bet they will charge for that and it will take ages. It makes more sense to hire them from blockbuster!
This is why i prefer the 360. They have not incorpirated a whole lot of uselesss features just to make the console sound flashy and to appeal to the tech hore who has more money than common sense

True that. There are some bloody good PSX games worthy of a purchase still, and at $5 why not? EBAY has been a good source of old skool games for me, got Vagrant Story for about $8 us (was about 11 AUS) including postage!! By the way I totally agree with you there Tomfitz - down at the local Video Ezy I can hire 5 movies for $8! Why would you waste broadband limit on movies?

Hmmm. Yes i have heard of that one. Pretty rare isn't it? People make a mint of this stuff dude! I have a Snes game called Lufia - box manual and everything in sweet condition. I could get about $120 for it, but I like the damn thing too much lol! I was stoked to get Vagrant Story for 10 buck including postage :P Game Traders tried to sell me a copy (Ex rental with the book glued to a generic case!!) for 40 bucks. I got my one mint with everything! I love ebay!

'full hd movies, HUGE HD, 1080p, blu ray' - Which all boil down to, a 'slightly better' - but mostly unnoticeable resolution.
'a web browser' - Everyone has the internet... surely?
'GREAT exclusives' - DEFINETELY a matter of opinion
'full backwards compatability' - I don't buy a DVD player to watch my old videos.
'built in wifi' - I probably will never notice the difference between this and the 360's wireless connection.
'integration of full psp!' - It plays old looking PS games from a small box?
'motion sensing capabilities' - I don't see this being an advantage in immersiveness UNLESS they bring back Dual Shock.
'free online' - They haven't yet announced to what extent it will be 'free'. If it's totally free be prepared for some low-grade online gaming.
'more usb ports' - what you want to plug into the thing?? hairdryers, phones etc. it's not a power adapter ffs.
'cell processor' - may be better, but probably not noticeably different where it matters (AKA on screen).
And, if they make it as close to a PC as they'd like, you'd probably have to start upgrading within a year to play the new games???
At the end of the day, the ONLY way this will be different from a 360 WON'T be via games (graphically or gameplay-wise), the difference will occur in the PC-like features it incorporates. The other stuff is just barely different technical mumbo-jumbo.

I'm not starting a fanboy argument here, just stating my thoughts on the PS3. Advantages it could have, I would say, is certain PC features (unclear as to what they'll be at the moment), Japanese games (aka Final Fantasy) and MAYBE some cool motion sensing features.
There's no other features at the moment that appear to greatly enhance the experience, but some interesting additions may be included (at that price... they better!).

I really hope PS3 owners won;t have to upgrade as if it were a PC - to me the whole beauty of the console is not worrying about minimum requirements and all that BS like with PC's... If I buy a game with a console, I can feel assured it's going to run as intended - unlike with my PC where there is always some problem!! Besides, for 600 US you'd think the thing would be good for atleast a couple of years!

I think if it gets to the stage you HAVE to upgrade certain aspects, it doesn't fall under the category of 'console'.

Very true. The way the Sony President is speaking, you could deduce one of two scenarios (methinks ;) ):
(a) That the PS3 will not require upgrades as it is indeed A console, not a PC, and we don't need the PC right?
(b) The PS3 will be upgradeable and is in fact a PC of sorts, thus if we have PS3 we have a console/PC hybrid, and no longer need the PC as a solution to many of our modern day requirements.
Lets face it the way the console industry is going, by the next generation if not this one, consoles will have many of the capabilities of the PC (including word processing perhaps?), and will probably at some stage not necessarily require but rather have the option for upgrades and extensions. There is a noticeable collusion happening between Consoles, Home Theatre and PC in the Video game market at present... And I'm really unsure as to whether that is a good or bad thing. The only console not following this trend is the games dedicated Wii. This of course is leading to the lower pricing of
Nintendos consoles (adding a selling point) while decreasing their value to consumers as a jack-of-all trade unit (therefore deducting a selling point also).

I think and hope it's going to be 'optional' upgrades. E.g. if you upgrade the hard drive, you have a lot more space. BUT someone with a smaller hard drive can still play the same games as you.

Yeah. Anything that MUST be upgraded shouln't be a component integral to playing the games like the graphics chip or Ram etc. Besides which, if an average consumer with no PC know-how was to buy a PS3 for his/her kiddies, WTF is gonna happen then? Guess they'd have to pay for the installment as well (probably $60 a pop) what a rip! Sony better not do this sh!t to us consumers dude, it would be wrong. And if they do then they should give some damn notice! Imagine finding out halfway through the consoles life that you have to upgrade a component to play the new games, and then you can't afford it and you're stuck with it! At least when you buy a PC and wanna play games for it, you know you'll have to upgrade sooner or later! If they put a veil over this, then they'll lose some hardcore good will!
