(IMG:style_emoticons/default/ph34r.gif)  no its the few posts above that ruin the ps3 section just like every other thread, none of you can stay on topic or add anything worth something.......thread crap some more....it has nothing to do with the moderators its the users

Very true users like you and the several thousand others some who just made an account to flame and post negative threads over and over "take a look at your post history....". anyone who likes or wants to talk good about the console they love on board they think its for sees pages of crap. this board is infested, there are a couple users brave enough. You are right it is off topic but it needed to be typed.


Why can't you you just let the people who like it talk about it......if you don't like it, then whats the problem ? Enjoy whatever you like easy right ?. I like this board I  love my xbox, and I like the info regarding it. Theres no reason why this board can't be like that.

I mean for godsake, do you know how much great stuff news wise has come out?  You all ignore go for crap that turns around on you anyway.

take for example....

PSM3 takes ownership of its PS3

See PSM3's PS3 in action! Movies here!

but na who would want to see that we get to look at people posting about disc size and sony killing kittens.

What is the great news? A mag got a PS3 already? What's the big deal? They didn't disclose anything not already said on these forums. Besides you could have brought that info in sooner if they did and put it in its own proper thread. Instead, you chose to crap a thread about the contradictory measure of offering region free gaming then legally pursuing a company, and affectively shutting them down, that helps you promote that.
 
P.S. As far as I know, Sony never voluntarily killed a kitten.

Edit: I have never seen as full a video of the OS before as in video 3.

He does make a valid point about the response form this section of Xbox-scene.  

As far as the story I made a post about the first link and there were new tidbits disclosed about the system contained in the article.  I also remember people jumping in and posting negative comments about how PSP loads time were too long and that comparison was not a good thing.  Even though the reviewers intended that to be a positive point.  In general it was a positive article, but people here only seem to want to focus on overheating units at trade shows and the like.  Oh wait...my bad, the first link finally loaded up and it is the mag receiving their offcial PS3.  I thought it was the article when a Sony rep brought a system by for them to play with.  Yes, I guess nothing new was written in that piece.

That is typically how forums work though, all forums not just videogame forums.  People often come on to forums to voice complaints and issues very few post are; "Everything is great and wonderful I just signed up to let everyone here know that".

The kitten comment was hyperbole and from the way some of you speak about Sony and how "evil" they are.  In effect their feeling towards the company have biased their feelings towards the system.

It's very hard to not to be critical of a product when the company is constantly lying about it and setting high expectations and constantly letting you down. Sony is the reason why there is so much hate on this forum. And the recent delays in production and campaign on banning system imports has really pissed off some people. You don't see many people dissin the Wii ... Why? ... Because everything or almost everything promised will be delivered. Just because fanboys put up with sony's sh#t doesn't mean I have to. I will buy a PS3 if sony can sell me on the product. But they have a long way to go before the system & company earns my respect again. For now, f#ck $ony.

heh, i posted that as a joke to get something out of the 4 people on this board that always like to talk back to anything i post. those people unnamed who think im some crazy sony only fan, which i was rather surprized not to see them quoting me and saying things like omg xbox poons sony or some stupid remark like that, delete that post if you wish as im not gaining anything from it cause it was a stupid joke, if you read further into the thread and saw me joking around even more. Any time i would try to post something serious on these boards id get flamed or something stupid like that, so now im just joking around untill the PS3 is released and maybe these boards will get better moderation.

so you had nothing useful to add and in fact you 'apparently' didn't even mean it - you were just trying to bait people and compound the issues this section of the board already suffers from.

otherwise known as being a troll.............

If you got caught up in the hype and let down, blame the guy in the mirror.  You think Sony was happy about the delay and lack of supply this season?  Hell no, that's less product to sell, I'm sure they are more pissed than you are about it.  You are correct you don't have to put up with Sony's shit, but you also don't have to come in here and start shit and pile wood on the fire.
As far as nobody dissing the Wii, from HardOCP:

QUOTE

Don't get me wrong, this preview wasn't intended to slate the Wii and everything it stands for. The Wii is fun to play and has some interesting titles lined up for release. What I do want to do is provide a little realism. Too many journalists are giving out the impression that the Wii will provide an unbelievable, unique experience unlike anything you will have ever played before. That the Wii remote allows for completely dynamic gameplay that will revolutionise the gaming world. These facts are half-truths, based most probably on people spending a small amount of time with the console at a booth at one of the big conventions. When you get down to the nitty gritty of the Wii you find something a bit different from the 360 and PS3, but not drastically as you may have thought/hoped.

We will soon see whether my rather less positive preview of the Nintendo Wii is correct. The console is due for release on November 19th in the US and will land in Europe on December 8th. Currently the Wii is priced at £179.99, coming with a nunchuck, Wii Sports and the Wii remote. If, however, you're looking forward to playing some multiplayer Wii Sports then get ready to shell out around £210, as you'll need to buy an extra remote which will cost you £30.

The fact that this second remote is essential for the Wii experience raises an interesting question. Peter Moore claimed, not so many months ago, that the consumer would be able to buy the Wii and 360 for less money than a Playstation 3 – spawning the name 'Wii60'. In actuality the PS3 will cost around £430 but the combination of a 360 premium and a Wii with two remotes will actually be close to the £530 mark. Remember, that's without a HD DVD drive and with only a 20GB hard drive instead of the 60 GB one found in the PS3. It leads us to one final question (and our only 'wii' gag – aren't we mature?) about Nintendo's upcoming gaming console: Are Nintendo and Microsoft wiieally going to Wii all over Sony? The answer, surprisingly, is maybe not.

I didn't post it earlier on X-S because I could care less about posting negative shit about a console on an internet forum.

Give me a break! I said that shit, and I've never seen such whining in my life! The point I was trying to make is that if you wanna instill confidence in how fast the ps3 loads then dont compare it to the PSP load times!!!!!!

I own a PSP and I always find it funny whenever I let ppl play the system and the person innocently asks if the game froze!...lol... It never fails, happens everytime  when ppl play it the first time.

How can I be positive about the load times if he is comparing it to the psp? Seriously!

The thing about that article that really bothered me though is their credibility, if thats the comparison their gonna make then why use a system notorious for bad load times ( and just happen to be another sony product)? There has got to be some sort of ulterior motive.

Its not a matter of being negative, in life you have to question these things. Especially when its so blatant.

Whining, yes, that's what you MS fans come here to do.  I learn from the best.  (IMG:style_emoticons/default/wink.gif)  Uncle Ken promised me this and that, but he didn't deliver....(IMG:style_emoticons/default/sad.gif)
For the record it was not whining, but rather illustrating a point that another member brought up.

I'm all for questioning things, but when they say loads times are quick with i.e. "think PSP".  I'll assume that the load times are quick until I see another review otherwise.  I see what they were trying to say in that statement.  There have been some other snippets about good load times besides the PSM article as well.

I've never had the "is thing frozen experience" nor has my brother,  perhaps it comes down to the games we play, admittly I have only played a handful full of PSP titles.

if they said, load times are quick compared to the ps2. I would believe them, if the said ANY other system other than the PSP I would believe them. You obviously havent used the PSP much if you dont think the load times are long. From what I heard it has something to do with sony capping the processor speed, but thats a whole other story for another day, another forum.

My question to you though is that, with all this being said, do you not think that was a valid point and deserved to be part of that thread? Do you think that I shouldn't have brought it up , cause "it's negative"?

I know people with pre-orders in my region, so I share their frustration. There was a good month of pre-orders, and I wonder why Sony left it so long to tell the public about the delay. I could suggest they import one, region free gaming, right? Hah! Go Sony!

Sorry if I flamed anyone. I come here to get the facts, and began ranting when critisim of the forum began to appear in this thread. The main point of my post was: It's hard not to be critical of a product when the company does not deliver on expectation and promise. I believe when and if Sony turn this around you will see a more positive forum.

In all honesty I consider the PSP load times to be horrendous. I've never actually played a game on the PSP because every time I to to try one of the kiosks I get bored waiting for the game demo to load and walk off.

After reading this topic I decided to time the loading time at a PSP kiosk at Bestbuy... A demo for Some Twisted Metal game took 2 minutes and 34 seconds to load. Maybe I'm living in a bizarre world but to me that seems excessive, especially on a portable where you should be able to pick up and play 5-10minutes here and there. who knows maybe it was broken... maybe not. but 2:34 seems like an eternity to wait for something to load.

Personally I hate any kind of loading time, but it is a necessary evil unless you're playing from a cartridge.

I should hope that the PS3 has far and wide shorter loading times then the PSP.

I'll have my brother bring over twisted metal tonight and I'll time it as well.  2:34 is crazy, why the reviewers chose that as positive comparison I don't know.  Maybe they had a particular title in mind or were refering to the boot-up.  I'm not worried about the loads times as I've read from other sources they are quite reasonable.
