Why do you guys hate so much

[acphydro]

Ha, I'll get it going again. I prefer PC FPS because of the mouse but think of playing a FPS with the mouse and a Nunchuck. That would be sweet.

Hey man I can agree with that. Except I like having the keys on my keyboard to assign at least 10 other functions. Would be fun to do though.

Anyways Sovieto thanks for the comment, it would have lasted forever and ever.

I played Resistance for a little while when my cousin was over and yeah it look decent and all but it was just common ground already treaded by many PC games already. To build my current PC would cost you around say $1100 and it'll fly through Crysis without any problems. It'll play any game I want it to great. Even if it couldn't play the games at HIGH settings it would still look a hell of a lot better than a PS3 game, or any other console running the same game at even low to medium settings.

I built a main PC so many years ago and dump on average into it around $300 every year or two. Why? I don't just play games on it, I buy storage space to store videos, buy new stuff to overclock with and mess with or etc. I can do much more with a PC than a PS3 will ever be able to do and on top of all that it blows the PS3 out of the water when it comes to games and graphics.

Their controller TRIED to include motion sensing technology but its just a poor choice. Rumble is last gen? Give me a break. Rumble is more realistic than tilting the controller a little to "get loose". There's a lot more too rumble than that obviously I'll let you try to think about what it does and why Sony made a poor choice saying it was last gen and forgetting to include it. The Wii's controller doesn't lag and isn't jittery at all, maybe you just dont have setup right? It works flawlessly for me. I can't remember the last time I changed the batteries in it. My Energizer Lithiums are cheap and last for hours and hours, weeks, probably months.

Granted rechargables are nice, kudos to Sony and Microsoft for that, but its not REALLY that necessary. Thats about the only thing they did right on their PS3. They need support, games, and a fan base. I will buy one for Final Fantasy XIII. What if 500k people that bought their PS3 bought it to play Final Fantasy XIII? Doesn't mean they like the system or even wanted it. I can see Square-Enix moving back to Nintendo after XIII seeing how big of a flop the PS3 was and is.

If there IS another Final Fantasy....They're going downhill

the ps3 does not come with high def cables at all. it comes with regular composite cables(red, white, yellow). they could have at least given you component cables. but no theyd rather make you spend another 80 dollars for their component cables, or another 100 dollars for the hdmi cables. and sony already said if you use any third party cables then your warranty is voided, which is just an excuse not to cover their 600 dollar piece of feces of a video game console. also the trouble section of one of the ps3 forums is 19 pages long because their hardware and software issues are as endless as the stars. so....that is why we hate

All good things must come to the end. The final fantasy is already in the works and after XII's great success, I'm sure we'll see XIII, maybe XIV if thats how you do 14 in roman.

If the PS3 was game system I would like it but no its a entertainment Machine its got Blue Ray, ummmm no one has or wants Blue Ray, also I only has one good game (not great) on it right now and is going to take games like Oblivion (which is on the PC and 360) and Fear (on the 360) and have them come on there system best they wont make there own good games they need someone else to have already made and tested the game and see what games did good and say here's money to have them come to there system.
Next IM NEVER going to pay over 400 bucks for a system NEVER. Plus Im not really into Sony games like final Fantasy, devil may cry and Metal Gear Solid so I see no reason at all to buy a system with the same games as the 360 except with a couple of games I dont like and want to play.

Component cables from gamestop are $12. Hdmi cables are less than $10 shipped from monoprice.com. Sont doesnt care whos cables you use. Even if they did care all you to do is say you use the factory cables. Get your facts straight. The only people who spend that much for cables are stupid people who think more expensive cables are worth the money.

ps3 sucks, it's not a video game console it's more for media stuff, and it's from a Television company Xbox is for a computer one and if you didn't notice most of the games of those consoles are sports, shooters, and other stuff that can be easily simulated in real life, why have a videogame of basketball if you can do it outside? that's why I only play Nintendo consoles and games

Not entirely true man. Probably for most video game system setups, but definitely not true for audio/car audio. Upgrading from plain old 16awg speaker wires to 10awg twisted pair shielded speaker wire made a huge difference in response and sound clarity in my system in my car. To make it simpler actually I'll just put it this way. The longer a signal has to travel the more quality is lost, upgrading to a bigger wire size results in less signal loss as well as having shorter wires. I got my Wii component cables from Wal-Mart from some Psychosis or something another company, the wires are really, really thin, Gamestop's Premium Components for the Wii are nearly twice as thick and that is why they charge a premium price for them. Although the difference from console to TV is not entirely noticeable, at least not by me. However I know many others that would challenge you and only use the highest quality cables for all their connections inside and out. Why do you think thinner electrical wiring is rated for less current draw than a thicker wire? There is a really good reason for it as well.

But other than that, to 90% of the population they won't notice the difference and as long as you don't tell sony if they ask, they won't have any way of knowing otherwise. More expensive cables are worth the money in some cases, in some cases they aren't. Depends on the application, length, products you are trying to connect. I won't spend $50 on component cables for any videogame system, $20 is probably my limit there as its just not worth it to me as I didn't notice a difference when using Microsoft's Premium Cables compared to the cables my friend got for $10.

It sure as hell is a video game console, they are just trying to make it seem like a lot more than it isn't. Sony is NOT a TV company, they make just about everything. :lol:, Sony has been making electronic's devices for YEARS and YEARS. I had a sony car radio that I loved and I am using a Panasonic now, BUT that sony radio is 4 years old and is STILL kickin. Technically Microsoft is a software company by the way if you want to look at it that way. The PS3 may not be the best console, but it definitely is a video game console :lol: :lol: :lol:

why dont you call sony and ask them? they WILL VOID YOUR WARRANTY IF YOU USE THIRD PARTY CABLES OR THIRD PARTY ANYTHING!!!!! that has always been their policy....so....you get your facts straight. mine is straight as an arrow. and no you dont have to tell them....but its the point that is so dumb. and as i said why should you have to buy high def cables with a high def system? you shouldnt....period you sure didnt have to buy them with the 360...

Theres a big difference between sending current through speaker wire and a video signal through a cable. Ive installed many car audio systems and I understand how important it is to use proper size cables for amps. Comparing speaker wire to hdmi or component is stupid. They serve two totally different purposes. hdmi either works or it doesnt work. Its a digital signal. There is no difference between monster or any other brand, except for price.

My friend brought over a monster hdmi from best buy and compared it to my monoprice cable and there was no difference with blu ray or games. I tried gamestops component vs the $60 ones that bestbuy carries for the ps3 and there was no difference in blu ray or games. I used the hdmi because I was getting an interefernce with component from my cable line into the tv.

most people dont even have a high def tv, and it would added to the already high price. I would have been pissed if they stuck component cables in with my ps3, because it would have cost more and wouldnt have been used. You need to get your facts straight because you know nothing about home audio or video. Why not take a stroll over to http://www.avsforum.com/ and learn a thing or two about home audio. Search the many threads of monoprice cables and learn how well they perform.

I guess its real hard to remove a cable and send the system back to sony if your having problem? Please stop posting until you actually understand what your talking about.

hahaha the 360 came with a composite and component cable in one set. so you have both. i know what im talking about do you? i dont think so.... and if you dont have a high def tv why even buy a high def system? thats like running blu ray on a 10 year old tv. not my fault you watsed your money on a ps3 bro....so dont take it out on me...

I know it came bundled, but it costs more to do it. Thats why sony didnt include it. Theres no need for it when I run hdmi on my ps3. My hdmi cost less than $10 shipped, so it didnt hurt me that sony didnt include it :lol:

You dont need a high def tv to enjoy the ps3. I could run ps3 against a wii on an sdtv and the graphics would blow it away. using it on an hdtv just makes it better. It doesnt matter what kind of tv you have.

Dont be mad because you have no idea about what your talking about with home audio/video. Go buy some $100 dollar cables and believe they will give you a better picture :lol:

omg dude. show where i ever said that paying more money for them would give you a better picture....please show me. i never said that yet you keep saying i said that. other people said this yes...but i didnt. i just said according to sony you have to buy those cables in order to not void your warranty. so then you say i know nothing about home aud/vid based on something i never said. learn to read dude. youre the only one on here that is pro ps3 and one of the few in the nation and world. all the normal people know it is a waste of money and a piece of S---!!! the cables dont make anything change about he endless hardware and software issues it has. i read a ps3 forum which was 19 pages long in the trouble section. anyone who reads that and then goes and buys one must be on your level. so quit responding to me and trying to make me look dumb while youre the one looking dumber with every post saying i said things i didnt say. LEARN TO READ! i wanted one until they came out and were total junk. now i doubt ill get one at all.

on top of this the moron that started this thread got banned so this thread should be deleted anyway. it is useless, anyone who cant see why people hate on the ps3 is clearly blind, deaf, and dumb. it was the most anticipated system of 2006 and it also the biggest tech failure of 2006, even been voted a failure in magazines. theyd be better off to do a recall and start the f--k completely over.

That's where you are wrong. Sending a video signal over a wire or sending current through a speaker wire is the same concept. The video signal does indeed degrade as it passes through the wire, and having a thicker wire prevents signal loss. Learn to get your facts straight first. Try combining multiple DVI or HDMI cables together. You'll see what I'm talking about. Cable quality does make a difference whether you like it or not, but that difference just isn't so apparent to some people, including me. If you could actually PROVE that monster cable isn't any different than any other cables then you would indeed have a case against "monster" or whoever makes it. It has been proven that a digital signal and analog signal both suffer from loss due to cable restraints, including but not limited to length.

Can't really remember the exact specs of an ethernet cable but if I recall correctly data is sent digitally over it and there is a maximum limit for length for a reason. If not, bad explanation but you should be able to understand. It has been proven that any signal sent suffers in this way, unless you can prove otherwise your statements are worthless to the thread.

Maybe your TV isn't up to par or something but there is a definite difference between composites, components and quality.
