Seriously. Who gets their game reviews from Variety?

Also, there are currently 19 Resistance 2 reviews listed on Metacritic. The Variety review gives the lowest rating of the bunch (70) while the remaining reviews average around 90 or so. Why does the Variety review warrant special mention in the consolidation section? Trying to stir up some controversy?

But the fact is, there aren't any exclusive titles for the PS3 that make it a must have system for the price.

Opinion != Fact

I think the public is becoming very jaded with the antics of this group. I know I personally now avoid anything with the Sony moniker any more.

Oh no, Sony lost your business! What ever will they do? Sorry, but beyond the most vocal whiners (who apparently love to frequent the Blue's News boards), I don't think anyone is feeling very "jaded with the antics" of Sony. They consistently put out quality hardware and people are more than willing to pay for that quality. The PS3 is in no danger of "defeat", whatever that is supposed to mean.

Oh wait, it's the first decent exclusive game on the PS3.

Yeah, because games like MGS, Uncharted, Ratchet and Clank, Warhawk, Resistance, etc. are all such lousy games.

Welcome to 2008 MrBreaker.

"id has previously stated that the Xbox 360 version of Rage will look worse than its PC and PS3 counterparts due to the limitations of the DVD medium. The studio had hoped to circumvent this by spreading the 360 release across three DVDs, though Microsoft's royalty rates apparently make anything beyond two discs financially impracticable."

and

"we originally wanted to have around 5 or 6 smaller wasteland environments but later decided instead to have 2 larger wastelands. Mostly because we were going to be shipping on two DVDs for the 360"

Yeah, sure sounds like the 360 limitations had nothing to do with cutting back.

Anyone else find UserFriendly to lack the funny?

I said it before and I'll say it again, User Friendly has NEVER been funny.

FTA - "On a serious note, this problem seems to have been blown completely out of proportion."

As is so typically the case. My friends and I have all applied the update and have had zero issues.

But for whatever reason the 360 owners are always the first to post negative comments about the PS3, and then insult the PS3 owners when someone posts in disagreement.

QFT

CHILL THE FUCK OUT! You PS3 people need mental help.

So says the guy who regularly casts the first fanboy stone.

Hornets nest: stirred.

So says bat's little toady.

So who was it the other day saying it wasn't in EA's best financial interests to release Red Alert 3 for the PS3?

So it figures they have a higher "brick" rate since their users are playing so much more

Boy, someone sure is out of touch with the facts. The 360 has a 30% brick rate, not because it is more popular and played more, it's because it was rushed to market and poorly engineered. End of story.

My opinion is a good majority of the issues are an owner caused problem. I see it at least once a week while working on peoples DSL lines. The kids or teens have a 360 and they handle it like it's an iPod. I wish I had ten dollars for every kid I've told "it's not a good idea to move your 360 while powered up, with a game inside, and/or while playing it".

Seriously, are you new to the internet? Even a cursory glance around the various forums should make it more than obvious to you that this is not a result of "user error". This is a well known problem to which Microsoft has admitted fault. And even if what you said was true, why don't we see similar issues with the PS3 and the Wii? Are stupid kids unique to the 360? Actually, spending 5 minutes on XBL seems to indicate that maybe they are.

The only thing the ps3 has going for it is the blue-ray drive. So if that is such a big deal for you, go for it. Other than that, the Xbox is a much better console in my opinion.

Blu-ray is the only thing going for the PS3? So build quality doesn't count for anything, huh? The 360 has a 30% brick rate and you consider that "a much better console". Hahahahaha!!!

Cue the always TOTALLY nonsensical "I think it may be a time to look at my BluRay playe... eer, I mean PS3" tired bullshit in 4...3...2...1...

Read the article and you'll notice it's referring to the part where it actually says Here is the "ultimate proof" that Sony is winning.

I realize that is from the article. My question is, why even include a link to a site that posts something like that in the first place? It's just stupid.

Way to post BS flamebait "articles", Blue. Seriously, is that what this site is coming to?

So the 360 is also getting FF XIII? *shrugs*. Sony has the best lineup of 2008 exclusives. And seeing as it is the exclusive titles that define a system, I think that is what matters most in the end and Sony definitely came out on top in that regard.

Yeah and the PS3 and Wii's have no such issues of becoming bricked... unless you update the system...

You mean a 30% brick rate like the 360? Don't even go there.

They would have been profitable last year, too, except for the RROD's.

Wait. So you are saying if they hadn't rushed such a shitty piece of hardware to market it would've been profitable?

Wow, who would've ever guessed such a thing!

It was brick-tastic

Methinks Blue is a closet PS3 hater as I've come to notice that just about every negative PS3 story has a little dig appended to the title. Interesting.

Fuck Mark and Cliffy...

Oooh... you are sooo edgy!
