But I think the fair thing to say is "No big blockbuster exclusives" not "No Games".

As a gamer I have to also say that when people refer to this problem they are aware that games have come out for the system but what they are referring to is the comparison between available games on 360 versus PS3. And by games I mean exclusive BLOCKBUSTERS.

So yeah. Even after 08 the comment will still be made ("no games"). Because comparitively speaking the competition has much more to offer.

True must haves on PS3: Ratchet, Uncharted and maybe Resistance. Problem: none of those must haves has a 9 out of 10 ranking.

The 360 doesn't have too many 9+ games either, that are exclusive. Halo 3? That's it. Every other game on gamerankings can be had on another platform.]]>Apr 22nd 2008 4:10AMhttp://www.engadget.com/2008/04/22/ps3-gets-armor-plating-can-now-withstand-the-crushing-boredom-o/http://www.engadget.com/2008/04/22/ps3-gets-armor-plating-can-now-withstand-the-crushing-boredom-o/Apr 22nd 2008 2:04PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2008/04/22/ps3-gets-armor-plating-can-now-withstand-the-crushing-boredom-o/http://www.engadget.com/2008/04/22/ps3-gets-armor-plating-can-now-withstand-the-crushing-boredom-o/
Hmm, the average xbox owner purchased 4.7 games last year while the average PS3 owner purchased 4.6 games.

Seems like enough games are on the market to satiate the masses. I wonder which games on either system were the .7 and .6 respectively?]]>Apr 23rd 2008 9:55AMhttp://www.engadget.com/2008/04/22/ps3-gets-armor-plating-can-now-withstand-the-crushing-boredom-o/http://www.engadget.com/2008/04/22/ps3-gets-armor-plating-can-now-withstand-the-crushing-boredom-o/Apr 22nd 2008 12:20AMhttp://www.engadget.com/2008/04/22/ps3-gets-armor-plating-can-now-withstand-the-crushing-boredom-o/http://www.engadget.com/2008/04/22/ps3-gets-armor-plating-can-now-withstand-the-crushing-boredom-o/Apr 22nd 2008 12:22AMhttp://www.engadget.com/2008/04/22/ps3-gets-armor-plating-can-now-withstand-the-crushing-boredom-o/http://www.engadget.com/2008/04/22/ps3-gets-armor-plating-can-now-withstand-the-crushing-boredom-o/Apr 22nd 2008 12:26AMhttp://www.engadget.com/2008/04/22/ps3-gets-armor-plating-can-now-withstand-the-crushing-boredom-o/http://www.engadget.com/2008/04/22/ps3-gets-armor-plating-can-now-withstand-the-crushing-boredom-o/Apr 22nd 2008 12:28AMhttp://www.engadget.com/2008/04/22/ps3-gets-armor-plating-can-now-withstand-the-crushing-boredom-o/http://www.engadget.com/2008/04/22/ps3-gets-armor-plating-can-now-withstand-the-crushing-boredom-o/Apr 22nd 2008 12:40AMhttp://www.engadget.com/2008/04/22/ps3-gets-armor-plating-can-now-withstand-the-crushing-boredom-o/http://www.engadget.com/2008/04/22/ps3-gets-armor-plating-can-now-withstand-the-crushing-boredom-o/Apr 22nd 2008 12:42AMhttp://www.engadget.com/2008/04/22/ps3-gets-armor-plating-can-now-withstand-the-crushing-boredom-o/http://www.engadget.com/2008/04/22/ps3-gets-armor-plating-can-now-withstand-the-crushing-boredom-o/Apr 22nd 2008 12:50AMhttp://www.engadget.com/2008/04/22/ps3-gets-armor-plating-can-now-withstand-the-crushing-boredom-o/http://www.engadget.com/2008/04/22/ps3-gets-armor-plating-can-now-withstand-the-crushing-boredom-o/Apr 23rd 2008 11:58PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2008/04/22/ps3-gets-armor-plating-can-now-withstand-the-crushing-boredom-o/http://www.engadget.com/2008/04/22/ps3-gets-armor-plating-can-now-withstand-the-crushing-boredom-o/Apr 22nd 2008 12:29AMhttp://www.engadget.com/2008/04/22/ps3-gets-armor-plating-can-now-withstand-the-crushing-boredom-o/http://www.engadget.com/2008/04/22/ps3-gets-armor-plating-can-now-withstand-the-crushing-boredom-o/Apr 22nd 2008 10:36AMhttp://www.engadget.com/2008/04/22/ps3-gets-armor-plating-can-now-withstand-the-crushing-boredom-o/http://www.engadget.com/2008/04/22/ps3-gets-armor-plating-can-now-withstand-the-crushing-boredom-o/Apr 22nd 2008 12:31AMhttp://www.engadget.com/2008/04/22/ps3-gets-armor-plating-can-now-withstand-the-crushing-boredom-o/http://www.engadget.com/2008/04/22/ps3-gets-armor-plating-can-now-withstand-the-crushing-boredom-o/

I'll stick with my 360.

Anyways, the 360 and PS3 are basically computers now, and follow a lot of the same principles that PCs follow. One of the new things being games installing on consoles. If it becomes out-of-control, I could imagine console makers would stop doing it. I really don't have a problem waiting 15 minutes for a game to load the first time, if it means shorter load times while I play.]]>Apr 22nd 2008 12:48AMhttp://www.engadget.com/2008/04/22/ps3-gets-armor-plating-can-now-withstand-the-crushing-boredom-o/http://www.engadget.com/2008/04/22/ps3-gets-armor-plating-can-now-withstand-the-crushing-boredom-o/
I think it's safe to say that if as of some time last year this has been in effect. (in other words the overheating problem is Kaput) LOL

I don't mean to offend but damn stop talking about s**t thats no longer relevant.

Are there any 360 games that require an install? Since not all machines have a hard drive, I'd be surprised.

That said, I wish Mass Effect had an install option, so I don't have to sit through three hour fucking elevator rides....]]>Apr 22nd 2008 1:06AMhttp://www.engadget.com/2008/04/22/ps3-gets-armor-plating-can-now-withstand-the-crushing-boredom-o/http://www.engadget.com/2008/04/22/ps3-gets-armor-plating-can-now-withstand-the-crushing-boredom-o/If there's still millions of people that have or will have (people do buy used consoles) faulty Xbox's, I would still call that pretty relevant.
And if a previous model car had an error that made it stop working randomly the manufacturer would probably have to recall every model and give people a replacement, all we can do with our Xbox's are wait for them to break and then wait a month to get it fixed. Are we just suppose to be happy that this process is free for an extra few years?

Hey I don't mean to offend but are you aware that the even the new Xboxes on sale still fail. Not as much as the old ones, but the failure rate of the new ones is still way over 20%

Looking to capitalize on it's marketing advantage of having a built-in Bluray player, senior Sony execs have made an all-out assault to put the PS3 on top in a concerted effort to further compensate for a substandard game library compared to other game consoles and the comparative lack of market 'penetration' to the female demographic.

To further differentiate themselves from MS who already has a lock on what has historically been a male dominated hardcore gamers market, the PS3 console has now been enhanced with proprietary built-in haptic vibration technology (originally pioneered by Sony in the dual-shock controller) along with a black center strip with various compatible attachments. What does it all mean?

That's right... the PS3 now includes a fully functional Sybian!!

...and YOU thought it could only play overpriced Bluray movies!!]]>Apr 22nd 2008 1:03AMhttp://www.engadget.com/2008/04/22/ps3-gets-armor-plating-can-now-withstand-the-crushing-boredom-o/http://www.engadget.com/2008/04/22/ps3-gets-armor-plating-can-now-withstand-the-crushing-boredom-o/
