OMG JBlue is such a tool this is hilarious!!

 

Everyone chill with the flaming.

 

Sorry man, I know I did my share. I get so at people that come on just to brag but at the same time claim to not care what people think.

I'll tone it down.

 

Yeah, but isn't the charging cable a basic mini-USB to USB cable? If so, then you can buy cheap cables anywhere, instead of Sony's.

EDIT: Nailed the 1337 post

any 1 know when the next shipment is gonna be? before christmas or after?

 

4 or 5 shipments are coming before the end of this year according to Sony.

 

Here's a PS3 that SOLD for $10.

WTF?????????!!!!!

 

....miss that guy, just glad I was never on his bad side

 

so, today i went and got myself a 360 instead of buying a ps3 from a guy like JBlueCLS6. I can wait, and gears of war and tom clancy vegas will hold me over for some time. plus i found a deal.

 

gears of war was an great game but and this is a big ass but, the damn game was too damn short! finished it in literaly 6 hours. i bought it and finished it on the same day. God really sad that it ended so soon.

 

 

lol 10/10 says he doesnt give it up and gets a neg feedback and re-lists. what can the buyer do when something like that happens 'cuase ebay's supposed to be a legally binding contract

 

 

hmm.. cant tell how loud this is sitting next to my roommates loud ass xbox 360, (he's playing deadrising and hasnt gotten to a save point yet)

anyways but putting my ear next to the system, it doesnt seem loud, but you can feel a buttload of heat venting out

 

ohh yea you know how we have the xbox live stickie with peoples name, i think we should make one for playstation network

 

i believe u can buy it within the return policy period...which is 30 days at most stores, i remember your other game consoles would only carry a 90 day warranty thru sony, dunno if that's the issue still with the PS3, if i paid that much for a PS3, i wouldn't mind shellin out a few extra bux for the piece of mind its gonna run like new for the next two yrs or whatever, cuz shittttt it would suck for it to go out on u right after 3 months, its not like its proven technology...tv and game consoles would be all i buy warranties for everything is a fuckin ripoff

 

So... Can anybody give us a first hand review?

 

someone probably bought it at his asking price of $1250.

 

Mine has shipped from CircuitCity. Looking at the ebay prices I might just keep it.

 

With some pics, or videos of in game play.

 

I have an idea: Why don't one of you guys who're really that curious, go buy one of Mr. Showoff's many PS3s on eBay?

 

no thx .... 20gb model is for n00bs

 

i got the 2 year warrenty, but walmart is lame you can only get it when you purchase the item.

so i had to return and rebuy the item. BUT! i didnt have to to bring the PS3 back to the store, all the info they needed was on the receipt, the serial and upc. so they just returned it and then i repurchased it with the 2 year plan.

 

 

i suck with reviews but the game i bought was Resistance: Fall of Man

graphically, its nice, but i have a crummy tv so i cant tell any difference between the ps3 and xbox 360

the XMB or whatever, yea its exactly like the PSP. The playstation network, its free. but when downloading content thru the store, it's not like the 360 where it downloads in the background, you have to wait for it to finish. And the way the menu system works for the store is like you're browsing a webpage, at certain times when was trying to click on something it would just center the cursor on the button i was trying to click instead of going to the next page.

bluray, quality does look slightly better, but i need to buy well probably rent the DVD of taladega nights to compare. since i dont have an HDTV i cant give a good review on it. plus when playing on a SDTV the blackbars are huge.

multiplayer, its simple just goto the multiplayer setting int hte game and search for games. it was pretty quick to find a game and just hopped in, i was thinking it would lag or something in a 35/40 player game but no i didnt have any lag or anything and this is with wireless.

the controller, yea its noticably lighter than the dualshock 2, and the R2 L2 triggers they kinda throw me off because im so used to the ds2. charging is simple just plug in the usb cord and it'll charge, when going wireless i didnt notice any lag like you get with wireless mice on computers with fps. ohh and the motion sensing thing, only thing ive noticed in resistance is when some dude grabs onto you, you shake your controller to try and get the guy off of you. but i saw ridgeracer at bestbuy and you can use teh controller like a steering wheel to steer. ohh and at least with resistance, you can disable the tilt controls via the menu. and the ps button its like the xbox 360, you press and hold it for a few seconds and a menu pops up asking to quit game and a few other options and to shutdown the system or controller.

backwards compatibilty, i only tried FFVII for ps1 and it worked nice, just didnt get very far cause i dont have save games. ooh and for memory card issues the ps3 emulates a virtual memory card slot and you just make a virtual ps1 or ps2 memory card and can adjust which slot it is in. the other game i tried was GT4 i didnt notice any problems with the menu system, but i hear you have to leave it idle. anyways game play its exactly the same, just feels odd to not have the rumbling when driving on dirt or the rumble strips. one thing i noticed when playing a ps2 game was that the system took ages to go from the ps3 xmb to that initial playstation 2 logo that appears when you boot up on a ps2 and i had to reconnect the controller. ohh and im not sure about other ps2 games but with GT4 the jaggies were waaaaay more noticeable, it looked pretty bad. so i think im gonna keep my ps2 hooked up to play ps2 games.

i havent yet tried to see if i could play music while playing games yet cause my hard drive is empty. and videos either because i dont have anything on the HD.

ohh and the eject and power button, its touch sensitive, so you just place your finger on it with little to no pressure needed.

interms of heating issues, i didnt notice the system getting hot but by the vents it is spewing out hot air, and sound wise from the system ill have to get back to you on that because my roommates 360 was left turned on and that fan probably drowned out any noise the ps3 made.

thats about all i can think for now, any questions just ask and ill try to answer

 

Thanks for the initial review. Just a couple of questions. What do you mean by "jaggies"? Also, have you noticed any problems with the remote losing connection with the system at all?

 

i think i'm going to do the same as you. i like gears of war and i'm thinking of going to get an 360 now and wait until march or so and then grab a PS3. i'm a playstation diehard but i have the money right now and the 360 looks like a nice platform. but i love playstation so when i get it and games come out for both platforms i'm deff getting the PS3 ones. i kind of only want 360 for gears of war. forza, tom clancy maybe, and halo 2.

 

Don't forget GTA (if you're a fan). GTA is now exclusive to 360.

 

pretty sure it's not exclusive, it's just no longer time exclusive to sony.

 

you may be correct. We'll have to see next year.

the jaggies are like the lines in the image, normally on computer games they use anti-aliasing to smoothen the lines, the ps2 didnt really do much about it, but for some reason on the ps3 it looked a little worse, but not by much.

i dunno if that helps


and for the remote losing connection, hasnt happened when i was playing any games, only occured when starting to play a ps2 game


ohh yea so i loaded up some music and videos, the videos play fine and at full screen but they are kinda blurry that could be because im playing music videos at 320x240 resolution thou, but when i play mpeg 2 files at 480x480 resolution it looks much better.

and for the music i dont think you can play it while gaming, i think only when using the player in the xmb

 

Mizouse:

Which video formats does PS3 support?

 

i tried wmv, didnt work, i drived divx and xvid, those didnt work

only thing that ive gotten to work was mpeg and mpeg2

ohh and mpeg4

 

bah no wonder why i was having network issues, our router was only set up to assign 3 devices to connect to the dhcp server when we have like 6 devices that are trying to connect

 

Ouch...

I hope they will add more formats in the upcoming firmware updates...

 

mizouse u need an hdtv lol

 

My friend's brother was one of the lunatics who camped outside Best Buy to pick up one of the PS3's last week. He already has a PS1, PS2, and a PSP so he was eagerly waiting for the PS3 to come out. After playing with it all weekend long, he was so not impressed by it that he sold it in the Best Buy parking lot for $1200, walked into the store and bought a 360 with a ton of games. LOL!

Gears of War is a very pretty looking game.

 

Running Linux on my PS3, all i can say is wow, tried doing the mame thing, it worked for a few games but still buggy. This PS3 might be worth it afterall.
