Anonymous at 13:54 6/9/2006 Wii: 229.00+(8 games @ 50 each) ~= 629.00 dollars. PS3: 650.00+your broke ass enjoying the ps3's elegent onscreen display as it asks you to put in the disk for the favorite game you have to wait for 2 months to buy. Anonymous at 16:40 20/8/2006 darkness at 15:3 19/8/2006 you probabaly also read the inquirers article about the cell being slow and broken, that was thrown out and the guy that wrote that article has been considered a moron (wiki is cool) moral of the story is most console news you "read" is bs, though I think it'll suck purly because I'd want rumble darkness at 15:3 19/8/2006 oh and you dont lie arru i find that hard to beleive anyway its the fact that sony trys to take credit for stuff they didnt think of first whch is alot for example thier controller design, first 3d graphics, motion sensor idea (doesnt really matter from what i read about it the motion sensor on ps3 controller will suck horrible) Arru at 4:42 19/8/2006 Mash told that i'm an idiot so he is an honest boy who never ever lies. Espesially to his mum about his grades. And stolen cigarettes. And easterbunny... Especially of easterbunny. mash at 0:25 18/8/2006 exactly, darkness. If there is one thing i hate, its being lied to!!! darkness at 22:14 17/8/2006 i know one thing for sure about sony when they had that article up here about sony stealing wiis motion sensor and they claimed what they thought of first like the first 3d game that was a lie anyway i lost my interest in sony Anonymous at 18:16 15/8/2006 It is just presumption based upon the PS2 and Xbox 360s. Both had some defects with some of the initial units. Usually I argue with Arru, but I will agree with him saying just wait and see on that. Arru at 15:0 15/8/2006 why can't you whait till christmas so you and your friends can see with yer eyes that ps3 sucks/dosn't suck ? like maby, just maby you are wrong and yar friends r wright... who am i to tell. i'm just a stupid frogsucking Arru... Anonymous at 6:33 15/8/2006 Mind if I ask what these problems are? I've been told alot of them but they have all been disproven are those problems you speak legitimate or are they the one that have been disproven? thats a serious question I'm sick of telling my mates why the PS3 sucks only to have em bury me Anonymous at 10:54 14/8/2006 The Wii will kick the PS3's ass !The fools that do purchase the PS3 at launch ...be prepared to spend "AL0T" more money on extended warranties due to the higher cost of the PS3 & the numerous reliability/manufacturing problems ! lew at 8:41 14/8/2006 It's quite simple. look at the DS over the PSP. The PSP has better graphics and is more expensive. It also has a bigger screen. but which one is the most successful? we all know the answer to that. The same will happen with Wii vs PS3. the Wii is just better full stop it's not about graphics any intelligent person knows this. cleaver at 7:49 14/8/2006 229 USD is pennys what ya talking about O_o. Anonymous at 6:17 14/8/2006 PS3 = SONY apocalypse = DOOMs DAY mash at 3:6 14/8/2006 you've always gotta have the last word!! Arru at 2:49 14/8/2006 o rly? But why mash, why? Crying crocodile tears.... not. PMSL mash at 0:40 14/8/2006 arru, you're an idiot! darkness at 22:16 13/8/2006 Anonymous is right HD-DVDS are better Anonymous at 21:47 13/8/2006 I think it's got a lot to do with thier blu-ray trodjan horse. What ever happened to consumer choice? And why would I want blu-ray when HD-DVDs have higher quality picture, better sound quality and more extra features? Don't beleive me, go to the avs forums. Arru at 14:44 13/8/2006 I have Sony kdl-w40a11e tv. It will work fine with ps3. I have 5.1 speakers and yamaha rx2600. It all will work fine together. Anonymous at 14:16 13/8/2006 SONY + PS3 = "Game Over Man !" Anonymous at 14:14 13/8/2006 As mentioned below ...Sony lubed & screwed themselves with their s**t "BlueRay" PS3 ! Anonymous at 10:31 13/8/2006 The best part about this is that all you idiots who want to go blow $1k on a PS3 don't even have the required high-def TV or sound system to even take advantage of all that crap. Mark my words, Sony is shooting itself in the foot with PS3. It's like the PSP - trying to do too much. darkness at 7:21 13/8/2006 then the ps2 also from what i read sony seems to be losing alot of support darkness at 7:14 13/8/2006 Arru the last time i checked which is yesterday gamecube had better grahics during the gameplay part Anonymous at 18:24 12/8/2006 Arru, you see, without prehaps relising it, there you go again. Do you feel that just because you've lowered your tone that your still not doing exactly what you were doing before? Many of us have said why we don't want the PS3, and you don't feel those reasons are valid, so what more do you want us to say? Sorry? Because I don't think we are. Arru at 14:44 12/8/2006 I just get so frigggging irritated when you people call ps3 names even none have seen it jet. Meny of you negatives will eventually buy it and meny wii boys will not buy wii console after seeingf that wii equals gamecube... Anonymous at 8:4 12/8/2006 No one said you can't buy a PS3. Some of us may disagree with it, but it's your choice. What I do disagree with is you, shoving your agenda down everyone elses throats. It's not going to change peoples minds and you only strengthen peoples resolve when you get thier backs up. Arru at 4:24 12/8/2006 So what is reason you prefferre Wii over Sony? Sony is allways maid impact on me. I had ps1 and 2 , they were exellent. I had gamecube, hate the controller, bad games, lowsy graphics. Wii is gamecube with better? controller. Why i must buy it? Why not i buy sony instead and let you anonymous credible wiiboys buy whimpy wii. Stupid fanboys pmsl. Anonymous at 4:1 12/8/2006 Arru how many time do we have to friggen tell you, it's not about the money, a lot of us have jobs, aren't at home etc. Your as bad as predator101 having a cry here because we dislike sony. You loose credability every post you make. Arru at 3:39 12/8/2006 You cant buy ps3. You can plea your mom to buy you cheap crap Wii. When ya grow up you get a job and buy what you like. I dont like childish gamecube upgrade. IT IS NOT NEXTGEN: it is just this gen gamecube with crappy controller. Anonymous at 3:21 12/8/2006 lolz, predator101 tried so hard to look mature, but doesn't relise how bad it came off when he started crying about us not wanting to buy a ps3. Bob aka bob at 23:12 11/8/2006 ubisoft?? I'm the vice president in charge of waste paper removable at EA games where we challenge everything, except the budjet. I did not know that Ubisoft would have a nose picking dept. I guess I learned something new. thefunkyone at 23:5 11/8/2006 How hard is it to spell properly ? Anyone with any typing skills has no need to use shorthand as its not saving any time at all ? And you buy a PS3 then cry as you have very few games to play on it and it breaks down due to shoddy "just past prototype" hardware ! Anonymous at 18:12 11/8/2006 predator101, you can't spell. You're a 12 year old Sony Fanboy predator101 at 11:12 11/8/2006 well ppl u know what, why don't ya ll buy a wii and i will buy a ps3, and then we will see who wins, right? and u can sir on ur wii and ds and play games like brain age and make ur spelling better while i will ejoy hig def games with some real storyline and graphics. enjoy ur wii, well, we will enjoy ps3, predator101 at 11:8 11/8/2006 lol, i got loads of work at my hand to check my spellings, i ain't a 12 year old boy coz i don't check for my spelling like u wanna be gamers, wanna read my real english? and pc knowledge of a peanut, then i guess, that peanut is bigger than all ur asses put together, and i ain't want no respect from d**kheads like ya ppl, i got my respect here, right here with me... and i am living my life, happily and contently. now don't go pointing another finger at me, or maybe u all will find that finger right in ur own ass. regards. Anonymous at 8:2 11/8/2006 and pcsx2 works better for me than a crap ps2 because I can use AA and AF which a ps2 cannot, so it infact looks a huge amount better on my pc than it ever could on your ps2. Anonymous at 8:1 11/8/2006 predator101, your username is that of a 12yr old, your spelling is that of a 12yr old, your intellect is that of a 12yr old. You my friend, do not work for ubisoft. thefunkyone at 7:29 11/8/2006 predator101 you say you work for ubisoft as if thats meant to make people respect you ? You spell like a 12 year old and you claim that a PS2 can provide better graphics than a reasonable spec PC.. I seriously doubt a big games publisher would hire someone with the spelling cababilities of a small child and the PC knowlege of a peanut ! lew at 4:28 11/8/2006 ha mash killed it with starfox. I hate people thinking that Sony came out with the first 3-d games, when quite clearly they did not. Do some research before trying to blank people out ! Predator you ARE a c**k. I used to work for codemasters, so what. Also who cares about massive budget games like haze not bein on Wii. ALL the other games are gonna be on it, don't worry, it will not have a shortage of games!!! Lord smx is right. I GUARANTEE the Wii will be the fastest selling console EVER in all three major markets. It's not a jumped up cube, it's a new console it's own right, with guess what "innovation" bundled with it for free. Sony lovers should be thanking Nintendo. If anyone likes the new PS3 pad you have the big N to thank. My last point will be this. Fancy a bit of four player action on your PS3? that'll be £150 for three controllers please. predator101 at 3:34 11/8/2006 hello anonymous guy, i work part time for ubisoft, do u hear? for ubisoft and u say i can't set up pcsx2? well ur choice mate what u think, but i don't need pcsx2 coz i own ps2 and it gives me more pleasure runing ps2 on a wide flat tv...:) Anonymous at 23:30 10/8/2006 predator pcsx2 runs good on systems less than that. your just noob at setting it up. Lord-SMX at 14:50 10/8/2006 guys... are you serious??? The Wii is gonna sell out quicker then the xbox360! People will be able to sell their wii's on ebay for $600+(USD) Anonymous at 14:29 10/8/2006 To Anonymous at 20:18 9/8/2006 The psp has been trying to win a market lead since it was made hell the gba was still outselling at one point. So if a games machine is not made for kids/teens then what? Sony made one for OAP's? maybe thats why it's failing so bad and movie houses are droping the umd format predator101 at 12:4 10/8/2006 mmmh, and my apologies if i sounded rude. sorry to all predator101 at 12:1 10/8/2006 lol, PCX2 MY FOOT! i tried it myslef and mate, it can't run one game decently, only ofcourse u have big bucks in ur pockets, so that u can buy a really fast cpu, but even then, on my X1900XTX powered 3.2 p4, it couldn't run a game as well as ps2 can. and well i accept it that nintendo has created a really awesome console this time, but then again, developers have even started to refuse making games for it, (Haze anyone?) and its a bit sad that nintendo doesn't offer graphics as cool as ps3, other than that wii is realy weeeeeeeeeeeee. I really accept nintendo is a bit ahead, but then again, i told u i work with, well, ubisoft, and beware, sony has a few surprises. Anonymous at 8:31 10/8/2006 Unless buying for your kids ...who in the hell would pay $200 - $250 for a Sony PSP ...when you could buy a $300 Xbox 360 or the $229 Nintendo Wii ? The Sony PS3 is over priced along with it's games ...& it with be burdened with major reliabilty problems at launch. Nintendo is going to regain a large portion of the Console market share! mash at 8:17 10/8/2006 yawn pred. lol you spelt your name wrong!! Anonymous at 7:40 10/8/2006 Predator101 hasn't heard of pcsx2 obviously. preadtor101 at 7:2 10/8/2006 LOL! u hate them coz u don't own a ps2, and u hate sony to death, right? coz they are not innovative, well, yeah, they made 3d platform with some luck, and GT and tourist tropshy series with some miracle, i suppose, thats what u guys think. uhu, mash at 5:50 10/8/2006 pred, lucky for me i hate mgs and tekkon, although i know they are liked by many. Snakes appearance in SB suggests Wii shall have an exclusive version at some point. and as for 3d technology... errrm Starfox?? what year was it out??!! shut up then!!! as everyone knows, sony are unable to think up innivative ideas all by themselves. just more media that we have to keep buying and changing. ie betamax, miniDisk, UMD, BlueRay...etc and ANON@20.18, whn did i say DS had better visuals than PSP?? im talking SALES figures matey! I feel a change in the wind. predator101 at 2:0 10/8/2006 LOL, i bet mash can play MGS series and Tekken series on his high def. pc too? huh ? and i didn't spelt wrong, if u say sony copied wii's motion technology, then what u say about nintendo copying son'y 3-D technology in 96? huh, can u wii fanboys answer that? sony even agreed that it copied, but did nintendo or xbox? lol, the only game that i play on pc is FPS, for rest, hail Sony Anonymous at 0:59 10/8/2006 you guys say they will have no probnlems with 3rd party games...but you do not say how they will do it. porting a game from one of those new engines to a engine the wii is capable to hadle is very dificult and expensive, its like making a new game...how do you think they will solve this problem (i know this problem is going to be a problem in a year or two but i wanna know now.) i like the ideo behind the wii, but i really think that in two years all those cool games want make it to the wii ;( with thw 360 and even more with the ps3 you have a consonle wich will be able to suport those big buged games in full audio/visual way. i have also a nigthmare vision, what iff the controlers suck! i mean what if there are not acurate or "slow" you know? some kind of crappy...that would be really f**kt up (just emagine its going to have the acuasy of a eye-toy camera!!!!horror!) i hope big N does it well, becouse when these controlers are not close to perfect the whole system will be going to hell... im sorry that sega is not in the biss enymore ;) nintendo and sega have been the cooles rivals.:D Anonymous at 0:8 10/8/2006 Considering the wii is only slightly more powerful then the gamecube i do have to say that price is a little high. Anonymous at 20:18 9/8/2006 mash, the psp KILLS the DS is visuals, and is far better than the DS IMO. I own 17 psp games because the system is awesome. The ONLY reason that the DS is doing so well is because it is a kids toy ;) The psp will beat out the DS in another year ;) Anonymous at 19:51 9/8/2006 wii wii docmars at 19:27 9/8/2006 Is it really "accidental" or is it like everything else that "accidentally" gets leaked to the public... Come on... "accidentally?" ... Anonymous at 18:17 9/8/2006 "this will lead to the same problem the game cube had, a lak of good multiplatform games...am i right?" Nope. Wii has huge 3rd party support more so then the N64 and GameCube had. Arru at 16:32 9/8/2006 Why wii when you can have pS3? Anonymous at 16:27 9/8/2006 this will lead to the same problem the game cube had, a lak of good multiplatform games...am i right? No. mash at 16:3 9/8/2006 If im going to play high def high spec graphic games, ill play them on PC thanks. Anonymous at 11:40 9/8/2006 If the price is 229, it will most likely be bundled with Wii Sports and 2 controllers. Each systems has its Pro's and con's, but because of Wii's pricing it will make it a much more viable option. Time will tell how the systems will do this round. Xato at 7:38 9/8/2006 This is gonna be an awsome console and i love the price. I cannot wait to play zelda and the driving games. Anonymous at 7:19 9/8/2006 urg,.... ds has killed psp? why can i still buy it at the stores? oh is it because you think i give a s**t about what the mainstrem is buying? mhhh.......in one year big dollar games will use new engines (cryengine 2.0 unreal engine 3.0) and developers are not going to be able to transport those titels to the wii...so i guess the wii will have to live from good nintendo games wich is fine bot not enought for many other people...remember theres no titel out jet with one of the two engines using them powerfull on a console. this will lead to the same problem the game cube had, a lak of good multiplatform games...am i right? Anonymous at 5:11 9/8/2006 ätsch, its nice that Wii has such a low price, now I can spend the x-tra money a 360 or PS3 would have cost on more Games and Controlers. mash at 4:13 9/8/2006 lol @ predator, only intrested in visual stimulation? i bet you think a game is great because of the fmv on the adverts!! Hype about the controller has only sky rocketed the past year!!!! and lol again, because you do know sony TRIED to copy the motion thingy, right? DS has weaker visuals than PSP, and that hasnt stopped it killing psp has it?? lew at 3:56 9/8/2006 and to answer your question.... f**k LOADS of people are gonna buy it. And it has graphics equivalent of 2006. lew at 3:54 9/8/2006 you spelt we wrong. Wii doesn't give a s**t about sony. gosh!!! predator101 at 3:19 9/8/2006 gosh, how many kids have started gaming! UNBELIEVEABLE! thype of the new controller will die eventually,i mean, will anyone buy a console simulating vritual reality with graphics equivalent to that of 80s, yet even earlier? no way, SONY IS SURE TO WIN! WII LOVE SONY! mash at 2:6 9/8/2006 i agree with lew!! and i just converted it and it works out around £120!!!! probably increased to about £150 id imagine, but hey that still kills the price of 360 even at revised lower price. man i cant wait!!! ROLL ON NOVEMBER, wii shall all be part of the revolution!! lew at 1:20 9/8/2006 A little much? for a brand new nintendo console? you're havin a giraffe mate. if i was in America, i'd pay up to $300 for it. As i'm in the UK i would pay up to £250 for it!!! obviously i would prefer for it to be cheaper, but i think the innovative new controller technology is worth it alone!!! plus just look how smart it is! the only console to have nice efficient slot loading no stupid noisy drives to open and close. wii love wii! Anonymous at 0:34 9/8/2006 That means the UK version will be much cheaper than the 360/PS3 Anonymous at 21:38 8/8/2006 i can take a wii for free ;-) Anonymous at 15:20 8/8/2006 I bet it will sell for $199.99 when it's finally released. Anonymous at 15:5 8/8/2006 the price seems a little much for a wii thefunkyone at 15:2 8/8/2006 Yay, the price sounds quite good to me.... (well once its converted to U.K money)
