Yeah the harddrive for the PS2 really didn't come out until Final Fantasy XI came out. But now with the slimline PS2 there is not even a spot for a harddrive to be connected.

No one said the Xbox 360 was bestest ever , at least I haven't. All I have said and will continue to say is there is only one system out to like or hate and that system is not the ps3 why ? Because sony hasn't released the system or games for the public to like or dislike and the kits they send to game developers don't count because its not the final or finished product. Like it or not , the Xbox 360 is the best of the two right now because no one can compare it to the PS3 why... because as of 2/6/2006 2:56 p.m. central daylight savings time there is no PS3 to play period. No matter what any one says until the Ps3 is released everything you right or post is unfounded,unprovable and just plain hearsay. Right or wrong the 360 is here , by itself which makes it the best system right now. By the way , there's nothing wrong with the gameplay it's actually very good in High Def.

i agree with uhall i mean the ps3 is not even out and you guys already thinking that its going to be great, i would agree with you if i had seen some gameplay but as of yet i have seen non, then i go onto a website to read that a developer for sony has been fired for saying on some website that the game he is working on, on the ps3 is not even half as good as gears of war, and apparantly that is rubbish as the xbox 360 is suposed to be total crap.

well i agree wiv UHALL, rabbity(fazyninja) the same as i've agreed wiv zelda64, we cant make any decision wiv will be better until we can hold both consoles physically in our hand.. things in black and white, pen on paper, change in the development and manufaction process..
i'm not sayin ps3 will be sh!te, i'm jus sayin dont always believe wot you read.. things change.. for good and worse..

What? As far as I remember, the hd came when the internet addapter came, AND THAT WAS far before ffxII came out. Man FFXII cam out 3 years after ps2 releaser. WTF are you sayin?

Truthman, I did'nt say that 360 was harder to program for. I said that the ps3 was easier to program compairing to the ps2. (well when ps2 came out, it was all the same discussion, it was really hard to program for because it was a completly different processor, and new, once developers get used to the cell, just like people got used to the ps2, the ps3 will be a snap to develop for. EXPECIALLY when the dev kits arnt even the ps3. And dont even match the ps3's power. What do you expect?

While I didn't really understand a word TruthMan said, it did all sound rather convincing...? But I'll agree with Zelda64 (which was a real gamer's game by the way). BlueJet, you're quite obviously a Sony fan, but we don't all know that PS3 will kick the 360, all we do know is that sony is making a new console called the PS3. It is really pointles to argue which is better before they are both released, not like arguing the fact after is any better. Personally I'm a Microsoft supporter, but I've even been thinking about buying the PS3 after a while, and not because of some crazy spec'd out processors or what have you; I think it's more the games that make the sale. Granted no loading screens and sweet ass graphix are a big bonus, but I think a lot of people aren't sold by the console itself but the games that said console can lay claim to. Xbox has your Halo and Sony has your Final Fantasy, and so on and so on. Peace.

Try to stay out of trouble and you won't have to change agin. You know I will be glad when the Ps3 comes out and all this arguing will have some merit.

notice sony had the ideas ready, ms saw this, and stood in with them. thats one reason sony is keeping their mouths quiet with any new improvement and update. they need to excel with many new and previously unseen things, and they need to do so quietly so that ms doesnt catch wind and rush out something.

But they all do sort of the same thing, and that is rearrange what you thought was real, and they remind you of the beauty of very simple things. You forget, because youre so busy going from a to z, that theres 24 letters in between... You turn on... tune in... and you drop out...

some people dont have there lives dedicated to making sure they type well. if someone is in a hurry or doesnt type well due to missing fingers you shouldnt penalize them

Sony will copy alot of ideas off Microsoft and Nintendo just like Microsoft and Nintendo will copy off Sony. What you have to remember is that as J Allard say's that a big disadvantage of releasing your console is showing your hand to your competitiors for them to see.

With this Sony and Nintendo will naturaly disregard every 360 aspect as poor and will develop their console to compete better then what the 360 has. An example of this is of course Sony's word of its up coming PS3 Live service.

Although Sony can see everything Microsoft have to offer it still doesnt mean it will be the better console. The best example I can give for this is the Playstation 2. Microsoft saw everthing Sony had to offer and exceeded with better features like online, hardrive, prossesor, graphics card, higher quality DVD player, etc. But out of the two The PS2 sold a large amount more.

To sum up the PS3 will be more powerfull than 360 but by how much? Accourding to the developers with the dev kits PS3 will not be that much more powerful than 360. I admire the PS3's blue ray drive. I like its new conroler despite what people say and I can see it fitting quite well into the hand. Unfortunatly there isnt much more to say on the PS3.

the design of the games for the PS3 will be easier than the PS2, because they dont have to worry about possible performance issues, because it is far far more powerful.
but when it comes to the crew that program/code the dam thing, THAT will be the hard part. usually the designers get the most money, followed by the analyists then the coders (programmers).
but in this case the coders will probably be the most paid as when people speak about making games for the consoles, difficulty wise they think of the programming part.

and that part only is not just harder than the PS3, but 10 fold harder, (metaphorically, not literally), but the point is clear, much more difficult.
compared to this the 360 is a peice of pi*s to code for. saving development time and lots of money. so PS3 games *minght* be a wee bit more expensive though.
but the possible* cost of the difficulty of programming shouldnt be that much of a concern

Don't judge the consoles by specs, more isnt always better, espec in PS3 specs.i know the truth, ask if u wanna know.......

Do not compete without valid correct technicality on your terms of the argument.

truthman, you need to learn that programing on the ps3 is not hard. it uses opengl, which
many people already know how to work with. plus sony is buying up many middleware
programs to make it even easier for them. the articles on dificulty were posted ages ago,
and many more articles of how much easier it is are come out.

and again to truthman, look at ea games, their profits are down 31% just for making
games on the 360. tho they ue expect some issues to be resolved by they coming release
of 3 new high-profile games.

and zelda, ms made a bad more by chagning the spring release date to november, if they
had waited, sony would have already finalized what they have done, same with nintendo.
by releaseing so early each competator can easily see what went wrong and what could be
done to top. ms made a bad move, dont use it as an excuse for saying the diference is
only time, because they had all the time to wait and make it good but they wanted to
create an over-demand by producing few units and having an excuse, as well as
downplaying everyone else.

But they all do sort of the same thing, and that is rearrange what you thought was real, and they remind you of the beauty of very simple things. You forget, because youre so busy going from a to z, that theres 24 letters in between... You turn on... tune in... and you drop out...

I dont think MS trying to make a demand for the xbox 360 will be a factor either as long as PS3 are available in a large enough quantity to handle the demand with the first wave of consoles released. If they dont have enough at launch then they might lose some customers who might go ahead and get a 360 but then again their seems to be a lot of supporters who are waiting for the PS3 to drop. We already know for a fact that MS wont be able to move units in china and japan so they would really have to kill sony here in the US and eurupe to knock sony off top.

As far as the debating about which system will be better. I am not going to get into that one b.c they have not been released but it would make sense for the ps3 to be at least a bit more powerful bc of its later release.

Anubis EA sports decline is not due to the Xbox 360,EA makes games for all systems,the problem with EA is most likely upper managment and their game play which has been lacking for some time. Saying that their problems are because of Xbox 360 is like saying United Airline's problems are because of their passengers, which we all know is a crock.I suggest you stop spreading rumors and stick to documented proof and not one of your off the wall Idea's.


Also let me add Ms and sony are two seperate companys,so an issue with Xbox 360 does not have any bearing on Reveloution or on PS3 they are all different systems which have diff. arch. so your are still making up stories about something you don't have proof or evidence to back up these crazy assumptions.

hell the ps3 before the 360 release has better, even before revision. look at the original stats
of both before the release.

and not too many people will be all "omg ps3 sold out? ill get a 360." most ps3 supporters
will get it, and if they sell out, these people have waited this long and htey have everything in
line for the ps3. the 360 has conpletely different things in line for it, and if people have
decided to wait this long, they are going to get the ps3. sure some people will buy it, but not
more than any who would have any way.

and uhall, ea is only making for the 360 and pc, there is no ps3, and they already have the
games base done, and most of the games ea has newly release for next gen are just gutted
remakes.

But they all do sort of the same thing, and that is rearrange what you thought was real, and they remind you of the beauty of very simple things. You forget, because youre so busy going from a to z, that theres 24 letters in between... You turn on... tune in... and you drop out...

uhall i have seen documented proof of what anubis says, but still thik its ea's fault b/c in my opinion they braught out too many rushed games for the xbox 360, and also i think they will make up the money with the big games that are going to come out such as battle filed, fight night 3 and burnout revenge.

yes, those new games will increase it, along with the new godfather game.

Anubis you really like to make dumb arguments on nothing more than your own Ideas which have no bearing. Give it a rest and think about what you are writing, and try adding some actual info and not your garble.

UHALL, you are starting to act like an @*$.
Anibus has better posts than you do, and takes more time on them, so please, if you dont like this post, dont insult others.
