Grunt14, that's why you don't know how to burn dvd,s ( you can do it on the pc, just look it up at google or something) and g14, the reason ps3 is just selling the ps3 is because it's not about satisfying the gamers in this world.. reality check in this world, all that matters is money, sony doesn't care how well their system works, as long as it does something right that will be good enough for them. sony has to many fans, that's why we're having this discussing this right now. Even microsoft only wants money. They just keep the promises they make. that's the only difference. and if you buy both of them, you're just making it worse, we should try to put sony out of business by buying the xbox 360..
how many people are tired of being screwed over? I know I am....

I also get it for $35, only cause you and I know someone who works for Microsoft.
For those who don't they have to pay full price. And as far as games MS employees only get discounts on game that are made by Microsoft.

Zinn, why don't you try thinking b4 you speak? sony, ms and all the rest make the money by making games for the masses. By doing so listen to what people want in games. Think, the only way to make the money is to give their followers what they want, and that my friend is good games.

If anything we should be happy there are these two giants going at it, so the standard is kept up and neither side gets lazy.
I JUST WANT TO COPY DVD'S!, is that to much to ask for?

well Zinn thats cool you aunt works for microsoft. However this whole issue its slightly more complex as simply a better machine which is ultimately relative. I?ll elaborate. I bit of history here, back on the area of the 16 bit sega gained the lead over the reign of the 8 bit Nintendo. However after a while sega started to loose ground on genesis and started to develop the 32x and Saturn. Both machines where supposed to be 32 bits( won?t go on details here) Genesis lifespan was reaching an end and was ready for new system. What neither Sega nor Nintendo knew was that Sony finally was going to released the system that have been wanting to launch for many years back with Nintendo but that big n F#$@ up. That system had unmatchable hardware that neither Sega had expected. Developers all over wanted to develop for the system and that creating a huge buzz. Sega answer to match Paystation spec prowess was to add an extra Hitachi sh-2 chip in order to enhance the graphical capabilities of the harware. But unfortunate the system was not internally design for 3d efficiency but more of a 2d machine monster (even better than playstation) Gaming was changing and 3d graphics where in fashion. Playstation delivered what they had promised. Gaining and surpassing Sega on that regards. Nintendo made the project Reality ( N64) which promised fantastic graphics and delivered less than amazing hardware at the end. Sony gain hardcore gamer and it factor which is something to also considered. Sega started developing Dreamcast . There were realy no short comings on the system on a technological aspect. The machine was indeed a great system but play station 2 came along and continued dominating the market share. Dreamcast didn?t die because its vastly inferior ( ?code veronica ? and many games made for both system looked better on dream cast due to better textures and output) but because Sega had lost the faith of many consumers around the world as well as the developer than leading them to be in financial difficulties. They where always known for making innovative games like Nintendo and decided to pull the plug.
What?s the moral of the story? Sony has a very large developers based and has something Microsoft doesn?t which is the market of Japan. Arguably the best developers are there but that is all depending on the type of games you which to play. Xbox is growing on developers and that?s good. But unless Xbox breaks in Japan it most like( to me ) still on a second behind to Ps. Sony had lied but so had Microsoft by replying to the specs of ps3 as : ?360 is several times more powerful than ps3?. There is no piece of technical evidence to support that claim. And no one with understating of tech will take it seriously. Both systems are great from what they have shown, But You are seriously kidding yourself to think that Xbox 360 it?s a much better piece of machinery than Sony. And your aunt cannot change that, not even Bill Gates. And of it is you will not notice it.
Here is 8 cents

Hey i heard a bit of useless information today. That the power the ps3 is equivalent to 1% of the human brains power. Which is quite amazing when you think about what the future consoles, and computers will have to offer. And no this is not just a plug for the ps3, its just abit of interesting info.

Xbox and PS2 are losing money to there respecteble company'Z, but to the release of the PSP's iligaly.
"Date: 31 Oct 2004 12:19:57
From: pdaking
Subject: Sony illegally Dumping PSP's
"Sony has confirmed that it's PSP handheld console, due to go on sale in
Japan on December 12, will cost only 19,800 yen (?100), a lot cheaper than
most analysts predicted.
The console, which has been cause for much speculation over its price will
go up against Nintendo's latest handheld console - the DS.
The price, which was expected to be a lot higher, means that Sony is
unlikely to make a profit on the hardware for sometime, but it does mean
that for the consumer getting the latest portable games console when it
launches in the UK next year will be more affordable than ever.
"First off, many people have been wondering how Sony is able to offer the
PSP "at such a low price." The answer lies in its manufacture -- "close to
50%" of the components of the PSP are Sony-made. Obviously, this includes
most of your game components, such as the Emotion Engine. But what parts
aren't? The LCD is an ASV LCD from Sharp. While that's the only company name
mentioned, other "external" parts include the memory and wireless LAN LSI."
-------------------
CORRECTION: Anybody believe this Sony corporate propaganda bullsh!t?!?
WRONG, what this means is that Sony is planning to illegally dump their
products
at a loss of $200 dollars or more per game console. and to make matters
worse
all of the components in a PSP were made by the Sony pretatory monopoly in
Japan. So tell me how this is good for the world or for free kets?
PDA's, Tapwave Zodiac, Gameboy, GP32, any handheld device you can think
is being illegally targeted by Sony. If sony sold their PSP at their cost
it would
cost the same as a PDA or a Tapwave, $400-500 dollars.
Sony is illegally targeting all of the hundreds of companies that make
components
for these devices, and offer them CHEAPER than sony due to their larger
economy of scale.
"Dumping: The practice of selling goods abroad below their normal ket
value or below the price charged for the same goods in the domestic ket
of the exporting country. Dumping can be a predatory trade practice whereby
the international ket, or a certain national ket, is flooded with
dumped
goods in order to force competitors out of the ket and establish a
monopoly
position. Oftentimes, government subsidies are used to help absorb
temporarily
the losses caused by predation, leading to friction among trade partners.
Dumping and predation are considered to be unfair trade practices and, as
such, are prohibited under many national trade laws. "
Furthermore, Sony actually pays more to develop their own components.
Tell me how much does it cost to have your own chip fabriabtion facility,
and R&D to support it, and all the overhead involved? This costs billions
and billions of dollars... Sony is lieing these costs... They are
losing subtantially more money per unit than $200 dollars if you factor
this overhead into the equation, considering they are not selling
enough chips from their own fabriation plants to offset the cost.
In fact the Sony componets are actually more expensive than the industry
standard due to this." http://www.pda-forum.com/palm/Sony_illegally_Dumping_PSPs_326525.html

hey, did ya'll know that the ps3 is twice as powerful as the xbox 360?
I bet you did, but did u know that the xbox 360 has its 100% power while the ps3 only has 30% of it's power... the ps3 has only about 1/5 of the 360's memory, so how is the ps3 better? sony might release the ps3 summer of next year. See that zinn guy said that sony lies a lot, maybe y'all should listen to him. plus, why is sony trying to out do ms in graphics and online play when ms use to make computers and has been around longer than sony. Maybe you sfb's (sony fan boy's) are mistaken.... I know the 360 will be $400 this holiday year. and ps3 will try to drop their system's price to $350, so not only might they be late for arrival, but they also might end up going bankrupt!!! Now who has the better system?
PS: anymore sfb's out there should reply and tell me why you still want the ps3... and i can tell why you shouldn't get it

Correct me if I'm wrong but Xbox 360 will come out before christmas and PS3 will not, right? Well I can imagine that Xbox will pull in mega sales as it will be the only console available at the time. As long as Xbox 360 is decent, people will be recommending their friends to purchase Xbox well before PS3 releases.
2nd. Does PS3 indeed have blue-ray disc reader? This poses two problems:
1- I understand that the two rival formats are trying to come to a compromise. Blue-ray is not YET the champion, though it is belived by many that it will come out on top.
2- In the past, how much does new technology cost when it first comes out? Blue-ray will most likely not be any diffrent from previous technologies. Xbox pricing is reasonnable. With the addition of the Blue-ray reader, I can easily imagine the price of the PS3 going up in turn.
Simply put, I belive that the PS3 would have to be REALLY good in order, not to compete, but to steal away already loyal Xbox owners.

No problem with that.

I mentioned twice already to play nice. No need for name calling. This type of debate can tend to get out of hand, and there is no need to flame on anybody. Every body is entitled to their opinion(s).
I subscribed to this thread early, so I had a chance to read from the beginning. It could have gotten out of hand really fast.
Again, everybody is gonna have their own opinion .... their is nothing wrong with that. There is just no need to flame or to call people names.
And if zinn would have been following along, he would have seen my posts :)
