Don't bother picking up a PS3, PS4 is right around the corner

In response to some fairly bogus claims by an "analyst" last week, Sony has come out of the woodwork to state that yes, it is indeed planning to build a PlayStation 4, but not until at least 2010. Therefore, by taking this quote completely out of context, we have deduced that there's a mere three year wait for some next-next-gen goodness, which can be easily tide over by FFXII, GTA and SotC. However, were we to actually do our job, we would let you know that in the interim Sony is planning on firmware upgrades for the PS3 to expand media center capability, allow third party applications, and to support third party controllers similar to that of the Wii. "To say that there will be no PS4 because of a management change is a bit far fetched," says Paul Holman. He also went on to mention the possibility of a keyboard and mouse bundle with the PS3, predict at least 20 new games for the European PS3 launch, and to tout that schmancy Cell processor under the hood. We're standing by for a PR cleanup crew any moment now.[Via Digg]
Hmmm, Sony has released this 40GB model that has NO backwards conpatibiliy for ps2 games and the 80GB one can only play 70% of the PS2 games. What would happen when they release the PS4. They would have 2 package the cell broadband engine aswell as the PS4 engine, think of the price..or mabye ur just better off gettin a PS2, PS3 and emulate the PS4 on the PC.
hi but please pick up the new PlayStaiton 4 And 5
even then, ps4 is gonna have to wait for something past blu-ray right? if they're gonna wanna make it appeal from the ps3's blu-ray capabilities. ps3 already has really good graphics, next gen after that would be pretty close to reality right? I'm just wondering what additional things they'll put into the ps4 that the ps3 doesn't have yet.
listen to you tards... make it cheaper, funner... and on and on, so i can be a lazy piece of shit and just sit back and talk shit when it is the company, wether it's sony or nintendo or whoever that is out there doing what we want them to do which is make bad ass gaming systems FOR A PROFIT!! damn, and why the hell not. put yourself into perspective, whatever you do for a living, if the consumer wanted more and more and more but wanted to pay less and less... you would then...? go ahead fill in that line for me. its buisness people, and thats the way it works and has for hundreds of years my friends, trust me, all your pissing and moaning will not turn them around to head out of town...
Can i get a ps3 for free?
As far as what i have read about ppl sayin sony overcharges well that may be true to some extent but sence we are talkin bout the ps3 and gaming side of it all. I dont mind payin a lil extra price. I save money on the FREE online gaming that is offered on the PlaystationNETWORK were if I had a XBox I would have to pay for all the online gaming. So to me it feels worth giving sony a lil extra as far as the one time cost of a product for the infinate Free online i get on the ps3 network for my gaming.
Can the PS 4 play PS 3 games? Cos i bought alot of PS 3 games
Look, if you really want information about the PS4, you gotta go to this site:
http://www.edepot.com/playstation4.html
It has lots of secrets on what the next playstation 4 will be like.
2010 means 2013 for Playstaion. Why do everyone whines about the price of the PS3. It's a deal given all the things it is capable of. I think people are just too fuckin' stupid to understand basic arithmetic. These are probably the same people who has left the current economy in it's current condition. People who writes these articles about consoles tout about how the xbox360 is $199 compared to sony's $399. When you buy all the stuff microsoft stripped from the console it's back to it's original price. The PS3 is more powerful and it doubles as a Blu-ray player and I don't think blu-ray is going anywhere. I prefer to watch a movie on my big screen in blu-ray than dvd, simply cause it has better audio and video. Download service won't make blu-ray obsolete. Why would someone spend $25 to buy a 2-day long blu-ray download and then burn a copy to a generic disc, when you can buy a $25 blu-ray disc with all the professional artwork and cover then rip to hard drive. Currently faster downloads are like $60/month and I ain't ready to spend all that. And there ain't shit wrong with PS3 titles with the exception of HAZE. PS3 decision makers were on crack when they decided to release that shit. Resistance1 & 2 was off the hook. Uncharted was excellent, MGS4 was visually amazing like the others. GTA IV was hella cool. Motorstorm was good. Even non PS3 exclusives looked gorguese to me. 2010 is way to early to release a new consoles. Sony need to release alot more games and mind-blowing exclusives for it's PS3. I got a PS3 and I'm hungry for alot more good titles for my PS3.
PS4 ll be out most probably by 2012 .. based on 6 yr release cycle in the past ..
here r some info on probable release dates & features

i think ps2s are getting forgotten about now and i have one :-( i want more later consoles but im not aloud
wow...people it saids "yes, it is indeed planning to build a PlayStation 4, but not until at least 2010" ....it saids PLANNING TO BUILD...PLANNING TO BUILD..NOT RELEASE IT ON 2010 plz common guys read better
When checking out PS3 cell cpu and the IBM cpu just to see what the diferance is i find this blog after wasting 15 minuets of my life reading what can only be called CRAP !!
life's to short you must all get a Fucking life
SONY & MICROSOFT like all other BIG BUSINESS are they TO MAKE MONEY .
Your fucking morons
the ps4 will have usb 3.0 (super speed) bluetooth 3.0 (superspeed)
the bluetooth 3.0 should enable playing movies (bluray) without having to connect the ps4 to your tv and if thats true (on there site they sad it goes up to 24 frames per second) then they would have to make it realy fast because many people would whant to buy it
and usb 3.0 should got to 30 frames per second so you wont need hdmi any more
Keep in mind thats the max fps it can go to so it might lagg, but you get the idea on how ps4 will be when it comes out (i estimate it will come out 2015)
LOL xbox 720 will be released in 2010 and the ps4 too. hmm we will see which is beetter at performance and graphics etc.
im intrested in new updates and world wide news
Maybe by 2010, the PS3 will be a reasonable price.
PS4 will begin delays in 2010, or will begin to ship in crazy limited numbers in 2010?
your right the ps4 is going to be awasome but what about the price of it .anyway the wii is a good competor because they use basic okay grafics but the reason people dont like it because they did not notic there attention to game play some of their systems run perfectly but they glich if they fix that they will be ok .nintendo only wants to entertain people or make them fit .all sony does is make games and what for big profit.so if your are thinking to buy a xbox 360 or a ps3 think does bill gates have enough money already and care about the company that is honerable to there costomers think nintendo .dont be angry with me for my coments be nice to nintendo if you have to talk to me on game play contact me or add me on msn at cd_clint@hotmail.com
I think that they are talking about starting to make a ps4 in 2010 so it'll take atleast another 5-10 yrs so itll b out in like 2015-2020-very long time. . . and i also believe no one will be buying it 4 the fact that they will lower the price of ps3 by then and ppl will b buying that!
By the time we all get ps3's the ps4 will have come out and we will all be "WTF?"
True story.
well, not everyone will get ps3s. we will keep rocking and mod'ing our 360s...
ur right there!
so save up 4 a ps5! LOL! :)
I agree... that was the same thing what happened about PS2 and PS3
Well i think i will just wait for the PS4... i mean hoping they learn from their mistakes
Propababy the latter, Ben. Well thats why I'm already saving up my 5k to buy a PS4 and getting my camping gear ready so I can camp out a year early so that way I can be guaranteed to get one within the first year of the release. Then, I'll have the option of auctioning it off on Ebay for a 1500% profit!
Amen Brother..Im going to start saving 5k and yes i will sell it for 1,500 percent profit =)
Amen!
Don't forget to pack your gun, in case anyone else presumes to buy one before you.
$1500? Now, i definitely know you're trying to manipulate consumer actions
I am very skeptical when Sony promises to provide new features to their devices through firmware upgrades after my experience with the PSP.
Apparently you haven't updated your PSP.
Do engadget have anything better to post than Sony bashing. I think you have gotten the message threw that Sony screwed up PS3 launch. Anyways Nintendo , Microsoft and Sony are all working on the next console , they take years to develop.
I can be happy with my ps2 for now.
oh snap! What about ps9 when can I get that?
my guess? 3 days before the end of the world.
Oh, and they will be making 3.
after ps8
Panther_V, you cant reason with blind hate,
everyone is very angry at sony
and the bashing will continue for another year or so
The sony bashers can't be bargained with. They can't be reasoned with. They don't feel pity, or remorse, or fear. And they will absolutely not stop, ever
but dont worry man I hear you
GOD YOU ARE A FUCKIN MORON! Have you ever heard of the word SARCASM? That is how Engadget writes if you haven't noticed. They were being sarcastic about it because everyone is bashing Sony (including them sometimes) so they JOKINGLY bashed them about this. Key letters there are J-O-K-E!
It's really silly that Engadget is spinning this in such a fanboy way.
I mean, it's bad enough they didn't even quote the guy as saying it; but even they used the keywords "at least".
Bravo, Engadget.
No logical person (non-fanboy) believes that Sony has the PS4 planned for release in 2010, like the "Vice President of Technology" for SCEE read it right off his desk calendar.
I don't have any next-gen console right now, but the level of stupidity and immaturity associated with all the "anti-sony" stuff going on lately makes me want a PS3 more than anything.
And I cannot believe I just read this on Engadget...
I don't think Engadget is Sony bashing on purpose. Sony is under major scrutiny for heavy factual evidence. All major gaming and electronics blogs and websites are commenting with the same criticisms. It is a console war right now and much of the focus is on the negatives. That's the nature of the beast.
BTW I saw this same story on "Attack of the Show" earlier today with same views as engadget. So don't be so shocked.
Everyone who bashes Sony has a right to do so. PERIOD. Sony's lack of respect for its customers and continuous selfishness is all the reason I need. Rootkits, explosive batteries, overpriced electronics. Did you know what our Sony Rep told me when I asked him why their computers were so much more expensive. He said it's the "software." He told me all about the video editing software and super high end video software that they include. Instead of giving consumers the choice of what software they want to buy. They bundle their own crap software and then overcharge for it. This is typical Sony thinking. It's never about what they can do for the consumer it's always about how much money the can screw out of us. Don't worry, tho, Sony's not the one who's on my sh*t list. Microsoft still is a little. I still think their software department sucks. But they've redeemed themselves a lot with their hardware department. The Zune was a bad turn though. Either way, my point is that Sony deservers every bit of bad press that they can get. It's the only way their going to change their ways and stop screwing everyone (except me). Honestly due to the complete lack of any decent products right now on the market. They should really just close down shop.
THANK YOUUUUUUUUUUUUUU
Fuck you and your bullshit, that's why your country is in a recession and your auto industry is on the brink of collapse and no one can afford a PS3 cause they don't have a fuckin' job. All you want is to win the battle so can brag bout your quick and lame ass victory. You need to think about the war. Sell products based on it's individual merits rather a desparate politcal plea, then your followers enjoy nothing but the best and nothing less. I got plenty of money left over from all my smart shopping, sucka ass fools
Nintendo will be the first out of the gate with a new console; outside of Zelda (which took 4+ years to make) the Wii games are getting shit reviews; mainly because the controls suck, lack of AI, no physics, and worst graphics than XBOX. Look up Splinter Cell DA, Red Steel, or Marvel UA reviews to see what i mean.
Day one, Wii graphics are already below the standards of the XBOX but better than PS2. Things are going to get pathetic really fast; think about 1 or 2 years from now.
Last I checked red steel is the only exclusive game that is really getting bad reviews. And becides, even if those reviews are bad(where ever you are getting them) I still think they are fun. Plus that is no reason to make a new console.
I would completely expect it from G4, not Engadget.
The only FACT is there are no FACTS in this story.
There's not even evidence that he said anything about 2010. It's ridiculous that this made it off the original page.
Can you really believe anything Sony actually says these days? They lie so often, and they don't even try to make it a good one. It's like they just don't care. They think, they're SONY and the Name is all that matters. Right now the PS3 is a $600 paper weight. Plus half the games won't even play in HD on my HDTV. For being so long Delayed, after all it was suppose to come out in the Spring, How come there are so many problems?
Yeah, swell Martin. Everyone has a right to bash Sony. Just like any other company.
But it definitely makes a blog look petty and sensationalist when they post a story like this. It's certainly their right, though.
"I am very skeptical when Sony promises to provide new features to their devices through firmware upgrades after my experience with the PSP. "
Quite the contrary. I've seen what I need with the firmware updates and so much more. Pretty much the only thing I'm waiting on for my PlayStation Portable is a notepad-like application for jotting down notes and such.
I don't think this blog is any less creditable for posting news on Sony's trials and tribulations. Personally I'm glad that they can give their opinions on it as well. Sony has a rough start, but a year from now we will be able to really see the ps3 for what it really is and the status on Sony.
Seriously though, the whole "Engadet is bashing Sony" thing is getting just as bad as the "First post" thing and the "I for one welcome blah blah" thing.
Hey Martin,
I understand sony is in a bad way about things but
remeber when Microsoft cut the price on thier over expensive software "Windows xp"?
Thats right it sucks and its still the same price at end of life
oh and by that token that they charge too much for hardware due to software they put on it
you could say Apple is evil
I'm no Mac lover, but Apple actually bundles a lot of everyday useful software with their computers. Things that everyone can use. Except iMovie HD. You didn't read my comment if you're trying to say something about Microsoft software. Microsoft hasn't really changed their operating system in almost 10 years except for some new features and some more security. Vista is going to be the biggest change since windows 95. They just continue to suck off their monopoly. It's the reason why IE sucks so bad. They didn't care enough to improve it. I give no company any leeway. And what hardware does Microsoft make that they include software with it? I really hope you're implying that they shouldn't include the OS with the Xbox 360. Anyways, I've never heard a Microsoft Rep tell me that they charge more for their hardware because the NON-ESSENTIAL bundled software is so good.
Good to hear we have lots more playstations to look forward to, but i dont think that really was in question. The thing here is this; the PS2 came out in 2000, was redesigned in 2003, and is being phased out in 2006. So I think that by the time the world is comfortably saturated with the PS3, we'll see a redesign in late 2008 and the PS4 in 2010. Its following the same schedule. Microsoft may or may not release a redesign, but as the PS3 has more raw capabilites, they will need a next-next gen system by early 2008 to avoid being surpassed by Sony. I know this is all speculation; my point is that the console wars will always be going on, only its speeding up exponentially; ie. the tech curve is ever-increasing.
maybe the PS4 is what charlie murphy wants. a playstation that you can do.
Did anybody read this blog post before jumping to whatever preconceived ideas they have??
The commentary starts with "by taking this quote completely out of context."
It's more of a musing than news.
I'll just buy the Xbox 362 or will it have to be 364?
WTF is up with Engadet and Paul Miller, going back to their old ways.
All Sony said is that the analyst assumption from management reshuffle doesn't mean there isn't going to be a PS4. In fact, MS is the company that has short life cycles regarding consoles, they've already abandoned the Xbox1, and the PS2 is still going strong for a conosle that came out a year before the Xbox.
Castle: "MS has already abandoned the XBOX1."
Please define abandoned for me because I apparently misunderstand the meaning of the word.
I thought I was playing Halo2 online last night and looking at commercials for new games on the XBOX 1 during a couple of TV shows. If that's abandonment, then they can just keep on with it.
I think modern consoles can last more then the traditional 5-6 years...I think they can do around 6-7 before they need replacment...I think this because thye now all have updates...so they can keep making you console better and do more throughout its lifespan.
I'm writing this camped out on the National Mall in DC. I have begun camping for the PS4. Given the rate of strip mall expantions, I estimate that a Best Buy will be built here about 50 ft from my present location in 3 years and 2 months; situated between the WWII memorial and the Lincoln monument. After all it is already a mall, if all goes as planned, I can raise my family here and teach them to hunt the squirrels and panhandle from the tourists to support me in my camping efforts. This way, I can be certain that I will be first in line and will have guaranteed myself a PS4...Brilliant!! Yes I am that Hardcore.
I took this article to be a bit tongue-in-cheek.
I doubt PS4 is coming in 2010, and even if so, 3 years is a long time.
Media-center improvements would be nice. I'd like to stream MPEG2/MPEG4 media across the LAN, and the FAT32 4gb file size limit on USB drives is a bit of a pain.
I would have to agree that Paul has been posting a lot of crap on engadget lately... I mean in the last week...
"Don't bother picking up a PS3, PS4 is right around the corner"
"Circuit City resorts to irony to move PS3 units"
"Sony's SIXAXIS controllers are wigging out"
To be fair, he also bashes other stuff...
"Optimus 103 keyboard demands $1,200 pricetag -- yes, you read that right"
"AMD's fancy new Quad FX chips smeared by single Intel CPU"
etc...
I mean, could you at least pretend to be giving us the facts? Is that too much to ask?
Ken Hirai said that he cannot imagine making a PS4. He see the PS3 being sony's last console. It makes sense since it costs them so much money to put out. The only reason we have a PS3 is so sony can press their blu-ray.
Look, did anyone else here get one of the first-gen PS2s that wouldn't play the blue disks without opening the box and putting another magnet in it? After two months of having my PS2 I couldn't play Onimusha or Tekken Tag. So I had to crack open the case and mod it. Not to play hacked games or to open a portal to another dimension of piracy, but to play the games I PAID for.
This was when I swore off Sony. Turns out to be a good decision. PSP seems to be either GREAT or SUCKY depending upon who you ask. As console prices wise and tech-knowledge goes up, I really can foresee a huge sea change as more and more people switch to PC gaming.
I mean, why duplicate effort with a "console that can act like a pc" when you can BUY a decent gaming rig for a bit more. Something that you can upgrade as time warrants and can actually do other things well besides game.
Needs more cowbell.
HAhahaha! Perfect!
I agree with what Martin said about Sony's attitude towards consumers. Any company willing to perform such an insolent act as installing a back door (aka Rootkit) into a product definitely deserves to be slammed. But that's just one brick in the road. Sony has been creating quite a shit trail over these past couple years. I had many great moments with my PS2 but that was then and this is now. PS3 is just too late and too much. PS4 maybe. But, only if and after I see a change for the better in Sony's relationship / attitude towards it's consumers and the market in general. No more of this "I am Sony. I am your technological pimp and you are my consumer bitches. You buy what I wish, when I wish for how much I wish. Bitch betta have mah money!" Actually now that I think of it. In this context anyone who defends / supports Sony is actually Sony's bitch. Blind allegiance gets you 0wned.
You're an idiot, shut up. Too much? Where do you live, Africa. You're telling me sony's $399/$499 price is drastically different from the Xbox 360 elite's $459 price tag. Dumb people just make me very angry.
This is seriously my favorite poster (sarcasm is HEAVY here folks)...he doesn't even know the meaning of "coming out of the woodwork"...eesh.
Martin,
About MS I meant that their overbloated never changing software is the same price all the time from begginning of life till end...a ridiculous amount of money which they claim is for all the crap they pack in that is a burden to use (as in IE7)
The Mac os runs on over expensive hardware (I am a mac user myself) which includes its software packages.
Imovie is the only thing?
ever use Omni outliner, grapher or voice over utility?
anyway my point is that the cost of the products shouldnt be that much of a issue because most of the stuff we use everyday is marked up well above its production cost so the cost of sony computers is justifiable to them just as Windows os is justifiable to MS
or
the G5 is to Apple
Surley if they will begin to
"build a PlayStation 4, but not until at least 2010" then it won't be ready until at least 2013/14... Did they not start "building" the playstation 3 back in 2004...? I think the comments might me slightly missread...
We can drop the term "Next-Gen" now. Please.
I'd bet that 2010 is when the PSThree makes its debut... Sounds right as HDTVs will be much, much more commonplace at that time and the really good PS3 games will just then start coming out. I'd definitely drop $150 for a PSThree- I'll also be picking up a 50" LCD HDTV for under $600 at that time as well. Until then, I'll continue to play my PSTwo and Dreamcast on my 30" oldass Panasonic standard-def tube tv.
How many fanboys read this headline and started planning the logistics of their next Best Buy line strategy?
Yes there will be a PS4 and various other nextgen consoles.
See http://www.megatokyo.com/index.php?strip_id=938 for the proof :D
Castle if you actually looked you'd see the Xbox is "still going strong" as you put it. Lots of people still play with their Xbox on Live. And of course MS have stopped supporting the original Xbox given that it was superseded a year ago. But then neither the PS2 nor the Xbox were supported as once released there was nothing to do with them support wise.
But as both the 360 and PS3 support firmware upgrades we can expect lots of support as they battle each other. Both will be adding new features (such as DivX support hopefully) and improving the graphics handling and output.
The PS3 was being designed when the PS2 was young... and we didn't see it for five years...
If you all believe Engadget, then you're suckers... Sony has the same amount of respect (if not more) then Microsoft and Nintendo, so grow up engadget... did you know Nintendo is working on the Mii? yep it's a game system for the loner... and M$ is creating the XBox 720!
Engadget needs to stop Sony bashing... it's not appropriate nor is it entertaining anymore... well, if you're a M$ or Nintendo Fanboy... then it is...
The fact that $ony doesn't know how to market the PS3 is a joke (is it a video game system, a BluRay player?). They have even said so themselves that the next PSX will not have disc so what's the point of Betamax 2...er.. bluray?
2010... where have i heard that year before..
oh yeah, isn't that when "analysts" projected the PS3 to overtake the 360?
It's genius really.. at that time the ps4 will be 1200 and people will think, "hey, that $600 price tag wasn't too shabby, I will buy a PS3 now and what until either a) the ps4 price drops or b) inflation causes my salary to go up enough to justify spending $1200"
Pure briliance of foresight by the "analysts"
crazy stuff...lol after you think about it 2010 doesn't seem that far away after how fast the years have been flying... but yeah i first need to get my hands on a ps3
This is just silly speculation. There is no way that Sony will release a PS4 so soon. It will take them at least five years to make a worthwhile profit on the PS3. And allow time for games developers to really flesh out of the PS3s potential and produce the stunning games we are waiting for.
Look how long it took for developers to work out how to squeese every ounce of quality and game play from the PS2
Talk of PS4 so soon is just bizarre. It makes no business sense. Sony may have made some production mistakes with the PS3 but everyone else is making the mistake of not looking at everything the PS3 will deliver in future

Atari just announced the 2600 for Xmas 2007 and just for Europe.
... Didn't Sony say the PS3 would last 10 years? Now it'll last a mere 4?? WTF? I was going to wait for a PS3 price drop, but if they're just gonna launch a PS4 that soon I might as well just save my money, seriously.
Will hold off buying a PS3 until I hear more, my 360, Wii, DS, PS2, and PC can tide me over till then....
so this means that the peop;e who went to jail because of the PS3 are going to get out when the PS4 comes out and do something stupid and go to jail because of the PS4.
"planning to build a PlayStation 4, but not until at least 2010."
Where does it actually say they are planning to release a PlayStation 4 in 2010? It look like to me that they are planning to BUILD one by then, they've said it themselves that the PlayStation is a console that should last for the long-term. The PlayStation 2 released 6 years after the PlayStation 1, and the PlayStation 3 released 6 years after the PlayStation 2, so how can you expect a PlayStation 4 (the succeeder of the PS3) to be complete quicker than how long it took for the PS3 to be produced?
exactly!!!! rock on TheDude! concepts etc will start in 2010, so it wil take at least until 2015 to finish and 2016 to release!!! therefore the ps3 will last minimum 10 years, i mean, just because the ps3 was released it doesnt mean everyone stopped playing their ps2s does it?
I don't think that the PS3 is over priced because the "blue-ray DVD player" cost about 1.2k? and your getting a gaming system with it for $800+ (60 Gig). I thought it was a good deal so I actually got one.^^ Yay for me ^^~!
I'd rather play with a pair or boobs and a vagina.
i have already got 4 ps3's and i can afford to buy many more and a ps4
I have a PS3 right now and actually im pretty satisfied with it. Yeah, its completely overpriced but look at it this way. A Blu-ray disc player is $1000 alone, and the ps3 is only $600, so its kind of a good deal if you want to view overpriced HD movies. Also, just look at this chart, youll be very surprised...
Xbox 360=$400, HD DVD seperate drive=$200, right now were already at $600, the same price as the ps3, but wait, there's more... 1 xbox 360 game=$60, Xbox live supscription=$8-$60, an extra controller=$40.
Now as you can see, the PS3 is clearly a better deal, and admit it, sony does deserve some credit, even though they clearly show no respect for the customers they just want our money. But still, kudos to them they mad microsoft feel bad...again.
So for all of you sony bashers out there, youre absolutely right about everything youy say but lighten up a little cuz' sony has ruled the video game industry for years now and they always will...PS3 OWNS!!!!w00t!!
Well, it seems cool that a PS4 is near, but I hate the fact that I wont get a PS3 until lower costs
im geting that PS4 i have a PS3 it kick ass
Each system takes time to to make, everyone is working on their next gen consoles. Enjoy whichever one you want, don't complain about it, just don't support the companies and buy the consoles if you think they are obsolete too quick. I mean a Blu Ray player costs like 800, a ps3 costs 500-600 and it plays games. So right now its kinda a bargain. Everyone will like different things. I liked the original X Box better than PS2, and I like PS3 better than 360. And the Wii is fun every once in awhile. No point to complain about things we can't fix. I'm fine with original ps2 technology, but if something better is out, I'll buy it.
haha i got allready my ps3 lol...bad thing? nnaaah considering that, who wants to wait 3 years anyway? by that time, I
by the way, microsoft will bash sony one day...after all, it's improving like a bitch...just as for it for homtail and everyother thing they've made, they just spinned it with improvment out of nowhere changing their hole line of original products...(msn, hotmail, etc)...its not a bad thing tho, sooner or later, xbox will dominate it...xbox came out later than the first playstation...and with time it will get better...
>PlayStation 3 IS THE BEST CONSOLE OUT<
Right now at this moment... PS3 isnt doing so well... with the upcoming 360 Elite with HDMI and 120 gig HD i think PS3 will lose just because of its malfunctioning problems... but there are rumors about the PS3 coming out with an 80 gig HD and removing the 20 gig version completely and adding an extra hundred dollars to the 80 gig version and keeping the 60 gig the way it is. All i have to say is that Sony is not doing what they expected, and Microsoft is just laying back and counting their money... Nintendo is out of the question because we all know its shit...its for little kids and for old ppl who want to feel young again but at the end of the day Wii is garbage... im not a fanboy of any corporations just here to comment on them but currently the 360 is dominating and PS3 is eating its dust...BUT. they Sony is going to come back in 2008 - 2009 with some top secret ideas in mind that they are going to add to the PS3 and coming out with some exclusive games that xbox wont even think of... and also with the launch of Halo 3 in late November this year PS3 will just be in the shadows... but im hearing some good things about Killzone 2 and MGS4 and FF and other games but in the end ... no one is going to win because of the technology that is available to both Microsoft and Sony. Technology is never going to end nothing is the best because something better is going to come out within 5 months time and then whos gonna be boasting about them having the top of the line and the latest technology in their console? But anyways overall the console wars is never going to end. Nintendo still has some tricks up its sleeves, they just havent used them yet.
