[sman780]

haha yess that movie was good lol same ol will ferril haha

"the navigation system that enables a complete suite of entertainment experiences in three key areas: gaming; network and web connectivity; and other entertainment contents such as MOVIES and MUSIC. " interestinggg...
ahh less then a month away can't wait! my 360 is gettin fixed right now =/ again...

[Joe]

The PS3 has been delayed for release like a year!!! Of course they'll have more games.
Half of these games were suppose to launch almost a year ago. A true gamer knows that. Here ago again with the PS3 HYPE!!! I'm waiting for the price to drop to even consider buying a PS3. $500 and $600 are way too much for a console. I'll BUY A Wii and an XBOX360 with that amount of money. There's more variety that way. 2 Consoles for the price of 1 PS3.

[Duker]

I have been a huge fan of Playstation up until now. These games simply don't cut it. The exclusive games do not impress me at all, and all the rest you can just get on the Xbox 360 for a fraction of the price and almost the same graphics quality. I will be buying a 360.

[Arkham]

"At a fraction of the price." What unmitigated BS. Go back to sleep, Wally, you have pre-school to go to in the morning.

You little Star Trek-eating cupcakes are becoming far too defensive for your own good. If manufactured marginalization is all you have to live for...well, take the hint.

[TheMART]

Well a premium 360 is at least 33% cheaper. That's not a few bucks.

If you get the core, it's even more cheap. And yeah although you won't get the full experience with a core, you can play the most anticipated next gen game of this Christmas

Gears of War. Nothing like it. Sony can announce all they want but it's too little, too late. Especially here in Europe where it'll be all about soccer which is only on 360 for the next 12 months

[videl]

theMart i hope you are not european, if so i will consider to move to another continent. your arguments are like always bs.

[shysun]

360 has one game coming out this year...GeOW,thats it!So whats your point?

[satanslilh3lp3r]

keep ur crappy opinions to urself. btw, GOW is just a generic shooter w/ a nice coat of paint

[NextGen24Gamer]

I agree buddy. What game does sony have to compete with Blue Dragon? Gears of war? WWE smack down vs Raw? Bio Shock? Fable 2? Lost Odyessey? Saints Row? LOR Battle for middle earth? Prey? Splinter Cell? And on and on. You look at that list of 20 or so launch games and then look at what is already out for the 360 or coming in that same time period...and its overwhelming all the unique and original next gen content exclusive to the 360 in the ps3's launch window. WOW.

[specialguest]

with all of those top hits you mentioned for the 360, sadly, there's only a couple games im really looking forward to on the 360 is Mass Effect, BioShock, and mabye GOW(need more details on that game) ONE whole year, and im still not thrilled with what the 360 has right now.

note: im not thrilled with the PS3 launch titles or the Dec. titles either.(not even the hyped up ResistanceFOM)

[Adversary]

At the risk of being flamed off the internet forever, I'm going to go out on a limb here and say: Smackdown is lame, Blue Dragon looks lame (could be fun as hell, what do I know?), Lost Odyssey's gameplay looks dated, LotR: BfME was only acceptable to people who've never played an RTS on PC before, Saint's Row is made for a target demographic I can't even imagine (and is a shoddy GTA rip-off), and Prey was a resounding "meh". I'm already playing Splinter Cell and can officially say "Yup, that's Splinter Cell alright." I gotta hand it to you on the other three though, they look pretty sweet, but also keep in mind that they're the second (even third or fourth) string of games for the 360. Sure, the PS3's line-up isn't the most exciting thing I've ever seen, but neither was the 360's. Hell, the game that made me buy a 360 (Fight Night) wasn't even a launch title... For the 360 that is. So in answer to your loaded question, "What game does Sony have to compete with [10 titles]?"... Metal Gear.

[MetalNCarnet]

Like all the other Metal Gears before, this one will eventualy come to the Xbox also. Just a matter of time, and I'll wait. I'm not paying $600 to play one game.

[Arkham]

Yes, well, Gears Of War. It's a hell of a lot easier to throw detail into a 3rd-Person Shooter than a 1st-Person Shooter. If you can't figure that out, no wonder you're satisfied with GOW.

[shysun]

Most of which are on PC or coming to PS2/PS3.LO=Next year,BS=next year(on PC also),SR=flopped...did I miss any thing?!:P

[Bill Gates]

Any person who ever really believed that the PS3 was launching in the spring is a complete moron, and should not be allowed to play video games. Saying that was all part of Sony's strategy. M$ still needs to learn their ABC's when it comes to marketing. Sony on the other hand knows how to market a product very well.

Anyone, whether they be Xbot, Nintendo, or Sony fanboy who does not see this as the best console launch in terms of software and anticipation, is in complete denial.

[beans]

What r u talking about and who are u trying to convince that this terrible launch line up is any good? Im not bashing Sony because im sure good games will come but this list is just boring unless you haven't played any of the games on 360 already and even then it still looks boring! Trust me 360 fans are not in denial and honestly feel bad for u guys because the stuff your getting after all this hype is just crap right now! I want a PS3 too one day maybe but if they don't start showing lot's of good games like MS I'll just pass! Goodluck buying this joker at launch and not waiting because I can bet there will be alot of dissatified people after the 1st week just sitting there!

[calderra]

Best launch ever? Xbox 360 hit 5 million consoles faster than any console in history. 360 did it with software and online service attach rates that spun heads in the industry (something like 4+ and over 50%). The attach as well as download conversion rates on Geometry Wars for Arcade redefined the way game business is done online (something like over 50% attach and a conversion rate of 80+%). And all of that happened is a year without the "big guns" of Halo 3, Gears of War, Mass Effect, Forza 2.... etc. THAT's a "best launch ever" candidate. And if didn't pick it up from the previous bit, it's also looking to be a "best follow-up Christmas" candidate.

Maybe PS3 will put up some awesome numbers like that. We'll see. For now, here's some numbers:
> 0, the number of times you can replace the battery in the new controller.
> 0, the number of HDMI cables shipping with PS3s despite Sony's long campaign of slamming 360 for lacking HDMI cables.
> 38%, Sony's expected drop in net income for the next year versus previous forecasts.
> 720, the resolution Resistance will actually be running at instead of the vaunted 1080p.
> 120x1080, the stats Ken Kutaragi promised for all launch titles. 1080p@120fps was supposedly "easy" because PS3 was "2-3x" as powerful as Xbox 360.
> 0, the number of games living up to anything close to Kutaragi's forecast.

[DJ]

None of that was promised. You're just making up a bunch of BS.

"720, the resolution Resistance will actually be running at instead of the vaunted 1080p.
> 120x1080, the stats Ken Kutaragi promised for all launch titles. 1080p@120fps was supposedly "easy" because PS3 was "2-3x" as powerful as Xbox 360.
> 0, the number of games living up to anything close to Kutaragi's forecast."

We're seeing 1080p in PS3's launch lineup, which goes against Microsoft's claims that it was not going to happen this year. Resistance was always promised at 720p, so I don't know where your 1080p promise came from. 1080p@120FPS is even more preposterous. HDMI 1.3 (built into the PS3) does 1080p at up to 60 frames per second, so your statement is pretty funny to look at.

Nice try, but millions of people are excited about the PS3. In fact, the pre-launch buzz seems to be trumping anything that the 360 mustered up. Too bad there won't be very many systems at launch, but at least they're launching more units in the U.S. than Microsoft did.

[TheMART]

So which games in 1080p???

GT4 HD a PS2 game yeah I hope they get that in 1080p! damn

Virtua Tennis 2 with 2 characters moving on screen? NNNIICCCEEEEE

For real. Easy games. Like the original XBOX already had some games in 720p but I am a fair guy and will admit those were not the best games around!

Now on the other side, the announcement that

Splinter Cell Double Agent and Lost Planet are in 1080p is a whole other story.

BUT I keep saying it: Who needs the 1080p? 0,5% of all people? Only 35% of next gen gamers own a HDTV, and I bet almost all of them have a 720p native one

[shotty]

NBA 07 is a first party game?

[MetalNCarnet]

Not ONE game in thier launch line-up I care to pay $600 to play. I don't like racing games, and all the games I want to play I can get on 360. For now, the PS3 is a 100% pass for me.

[PS360WII]

It's launch! Come on, it hasn't been out for a year... what did 360 launch with? Something like this launch right.. maybe less...
4 games I'm gonna have for sure. Marvel Ultimate Alliance, Genji: Days of the Blade, Untold Legends, and Resistance: Fall of Man. Thier may be others that I may buy but for sure them. Plus an extra controller for co-op action and one of them memory card readers. Plus there is going to be Fatal Inertia, Heavenly Sword, Motorstorm, Lair, Army of Two... sweetness

[VirtualGamer]

especially when it was looking like they would have 15 or less. Here are the games I would definately get if I could.

- Resistance: Fall of Man
- Call of Duty 3
- EA Sports™ Fight Night Round 3
- The Elder Scrolls IV: Oblivion
- Tiger Woods PGA Tour® 07
- Tom Clancy's Rainbow Six® Vegas
- Untold Legends™ Dark Kingdom™

Totally understand anyone who has a 360 saying they are not that impressed since many of these games are also available on their system so why buy a PS3. But for those who don;t have a PS3 I think there are some decent games to at least start your collection with and many other PS3 exclusives to come.

- Motor Storm
- Heavenly Sword
- Lair
- Warhawk
- MGS4
- FF XIII
- GT HD and ultimately GT 5

Wow I just came across a game I have been following for the PC as I am a PC MMO player, and to my suprise its going to also be available for the PS3...Age of Conan by Funcom! I sure hope this game turns out to be as good as it appears to be.

[Maddens Raiders]

Money is no object when it comes to GAMING. The PS3 Deluxe Model™ is mine...!!!!!! I'll be there on 1 1 1 7 with a 60gigger in tote. Figure I'll blow a grand or so with games and accessories included. Hell, with as much crap as I've bought already to "truly" game with - (consoles, collectible arcade sticks, pilot sticks and throttle, racing wheels, and tons of extra controllers for the multi-tap, headset, keyboards, xtra LAN cable, Time_Warner High Speed connection, memory cards, and quality flat panel screens, party favors, trips to friends houses, etc...) - $600 buckaroos is NOTHING to pay for this 'lil fine piece of hardware - it'll be like having another vaio that I can play games on. Nah, I'm calling in to the office for two days, camping in front of GameStop, snagging the little bugger, as soon as I'm home - fire up the 'ol BRAVIA and get to work on a fatty and some G.T.H.D.in 1080p and of course Fight Night rd. 3...ahhhhh...whiny little kids. Give us Killzone 2 already!!!!!!

[THELANDSOFSAND]

fight night and GTHD...

lol

sony must love people like you...

[Maddens Raiders]

Who cares man....just buy the hardware or get a job, or ask mom or dad, or grandma, or jack it or whatever the he77 it is you want to do. But, don't complain about people willing to buy what they want. I think it's called commerce, but what do I know? And yeah btw I fuct up on the GTHD I know it won't be out 'til a 'lil after launch but it's worth the friggin wait. Madden and 40 player RFOM will tide me over. And I'll BETCHA good 'ol sony is not only loving me but lovin' all the dopes still buying their movies, & camcorders, computers, cameras, LCD TVs, and phones, and blah, blah, blah...Lemme askya - Is Billy Gates laughing at me for having my vaio® JAM - PACKED with microsoft windows® software and other microsoft® navigation equipment..? - hell, windows® is in my phone..!!! Does he laugh at us all? Everyday while he's takin' a dump...!?! GMAB The morale of the story is: unless you've got stock in either of these co.'s. (which some of us might and a hell of a lot more don't) - then who gives a damn? It's gettin' a little too close to launch for all this fanboy horse$hit - absolutely useless comments.
I thought this was news 4 "GAMERS"

What I'm Playing Now:
Marvel vs. Capcom 2 (PS2)

[THELANDSOFSAND]

have you seen the madden graphics?!

its lucky you are used to the PS2...

[BIadestarX]

Ok, so it goes down to this:

Resistance: Fall of Man™
Genji: Days of the Blade™
Mobile Suit Gundam®: CROSSFIRE™
RIDGE RACER® 7
Untold Legends™ Dark Kingdom™

All other game are or will also be on the 360.
From that list, I'm only interested on Resistance: Fall of Man™, I already pre-ordered the PS3 so I'm getting it, regarless (tax deductable, my clients entertainment needs ;)... but if you own a 360 already buy gears of war and save yourself $600 until MGS or FF comes out. If you being waiting for the PS3 and never got a 360 and don't want it because it is not from Sony then what difference does it make, this line up will be better than anything you ever seeing, so go for it.. enjoy.

[JIN KAZAMA]

WOW, here we go again. videogames.com and gametrailers.com, both gave this game a 8.5 and 8.9 out of 10. Thats just sad, ALL the hype this game got, and it couldnt even get a 9. Thats just sad, ANOTHER barely above average game on the 360. Another dissapointment. 400 dollars is not worth the 360. I cannot wait for the PS3, this just makes me certain, that the PS3 will be number 1 console again. Add the fact, that they are doing 1080P with the Launch games, its over for 360. Resistance devs always said, they are shooting for 1080p, never confirmed it. With everything the game has, its not a big deal it will be 720p. Wow, i am so glad Sony is in the game, because MS keeps comming up short.

[GioneBurnz]

Here's a short reading for you amigo, its about gamespot's review ratings:
http://www.gamespot.com/mis...

"8.0-8.9: Great This range refers to great games that are excellent in almost every way and whose few setbacks probably aren't too important. We highly recommend games in the upper half of this range, since they tend to be good enough to provide an enjoyable experience to fans of the particular genre and to new players alike.

9.0-9.9: Superb We absolutely recommend any game in this range, especially to fans of that particular genre. However, games that score in the 9 range are also typically well suited to new players. Games that earn 9s are naturally uncommon, and earn GameSpot's Editors' Choice Award for their outstanding quality."

I think they did a good job rating Spinter Cell 4, it's definitely a quality game. It just didn't bring anything remarkably new to the Spliner Cell series.

[THELANDSOFSAND]

wait till you see the PS3 launch reviews- 8.9 will be their dream figure!

360 already has 1080p, i guess sony is playing catch-up?

LOL

PS3 will be the number 1 console... for disappointment

[FKN Unbelievable]

Nuff said Even if it got a 8.9 Round it off its a 9 stop hating.

[deepio]

What you have to remember is the gradings for next-gen games are more stringent as well. 8.9 is not a bad score at all. If you read the reviewers comments instead of just looking at the score you'll realise they liked it a lot.

[Maddens Raiders]

Dude, I've purposefully avoided buying the 360 until the P3 launch on 1 1 1 7. It'll be a great experiment too. It's gonna be like a double launch for me. I'll play both and rate both, right here on this site. I WILL have both systems, guaranteed.

-out

[Marriot VP]

Interesting link, look I'm not a fanboy but it does show Sony's E3 trailers vs. what games are looking like now. I've had a PS2 and n64 for the record of people who are going to jump on me.

http://www.wii60.com/videog...

[FKN Unbelievable]

That MG4 Pic Looks Grainier than Uncle Ben's Rice.

[FirstknighT]

Like I said many times before...there's a huge fanbase for sony and they will buy a ps3 no matter what...They can release ONE game called "Attack of the Killer Tomatoes" and it will still sell out...but bottom line is that Xbox360 has the better games...and thats it! PS3 came into the game a year late and there games are nothing special.

Maybe Sony will start working a lil harder with some better games cuz right now...Xbox is taking all the AAA games.

The only game that I would like to play is Motorstorm cuz that looks like a next gen Super Off Road!!!! All the other games are crap...I'll play Call of Duty 3 over Resistance any day.

[kingboy]

i just wanna buy my ps3 before looking at any other console in the market.

[Marriot VP]

and that's why your a fanboy

[bumnut]

not a bad launch line up, unless you already own a pc or 360

[Retard]

I'm flipping through my Xbox 360 manual.

It's weird... They forgot to give me the section of hating Sony and embracing Wii... WEIRD!

Well, fellow 'gamers' look at it this way. Xbox (MS) wouldn't try nearly at all if there is no competition. How 'bout we all Jump In and Welcom3 Chang3?

And above all, stay on topic(even though I'm a complete hypocrite, least I'm trying)? For the admins' sake!

[videl]

the launch line up looks good, far better than the xbox360 launch line up. some great games will follow !

[kewlkat007]

The PS3, like I stated, has mediocure launch linups, besides like 3 games. All the others are already on the 360. I don't see why I would go out and get the PS3 just to play these games.

Anyhow, besides the games the fanboys tried to hype like RFOM,GTHD, I really don't see anything that great. I don't even know why Grand tourismo has the HD tittle when any game thats 720+ is all HD. Might aswell put HD after all the games.

Fight Night = been there done that

Elder's Scrolls = been there done that

Madden 07 = Playing that now

NBA 2K series = Played that already(don't own)

NFS carbon = Same crappy gameplay(tried the DeMO on Xlive)

Full Auto = It's no Twisted Metal 2

Blazing Angels = Don't need the Gimmicks on this one

Genji = sony can keep that game

So whats all the excitment all about these launch games? COD3, I would get on any console. Rainbow Six looks dope. As far as the Wii like I said before , I need to experience playing these games with the controller. My gamecube been collecting dust for 3 years, so maybe I just might get zelda for it. I'm not even gonna post the Games coming for the 360 this holiday. Quite frankly it embarasses the PS3's launch line-up. OFcourse these are just launch titles for the PS3. Eitherway they are a year behind which is thier own fault.

[Retard]

Twisted Metal 4 ! :)

[EnforcerOfTheTruth]

...and a lot better than 360's launch lineup. Good job Sony, one year from now PS3 will also catch up to 360's game lineup.

[Retard]

Last I heard it's a PC/PS3 only?
Is that right?

Or is it going to Xbox 360 as well?

(No rumors or speculation just facts please!) Thanks!

[Marriot VP]

sorry this is a fact-zone free area

(colbert)

[satanslilh3lp3r]

so much better than 360 launch line up, where every game sucked (CoD2 didn't, but i had that on ps2 :P) the point is, its a LAUNCH line up. just as MS didnt have halo 3 on day one, neither will sony have mgs4, killzone 2, resident evil, heavenly sword, ect.

[Athlon]

Just about all the games I preordered won't be coming out till next year except NFS. I'll still be picking up my PS3 on launch, have it preordered at EB. However, I wish Tekken was on that list. I'll really be looking at the reviews before I decide on which game or games to pick up at launch.
