My feeling is that the large cost premium the PS3 had when it came out initially, when it still sold for a significant loss (relevant really only to Sony), pushed users to look at the Xbox 360. I certainly was a early buyer of the PS3.

Whilst I could not fault the build quality of the unit or the UI, it actually felt to me a sterile environment. I'd have both a PS2, Xbox and Gamecube but the 360 simply seemed like more fun than my PS3. This coupled with news of loosing a lot of exclusive titles and generally having a poorer online experience, especially back when COD4 first came out.

No I'd like to say I'm a real Mac head but I'm not an apologist and Microsoft in my opinion built a better user experience and that elevates the Xbox above some of the hardware issues experienced.

Plus in the UK the Sky player is simply awesome and has kept my kids happy for many many hours.

For me the return of pleasure to pound is greater with the Xbox, especially as it costs far less fr the end user in the first place.]]>Apr 26th 2010 7:15AMhttp://www.engadget.com/2010/04/26/sony-ps3-upgraded-with-cooler-45-nm-rsx-graphics-chip-profits-a/http://www.engadget.com/2010/04/26/sony-ps3-upgraded-with-cooler-45-nm-rsx-graphics-chip-profits-a/Apr 26th 2010 9:04AMhttp://www.engadget.com/2010/04/26/sony-ps3-upgraded-with-cooler-45-nm-rsx-graphics-chip-profits-a/http://www.engadget.com/2010/04/26/sony-ps3-upgraded-with-cooler-45-nm-rsx-graphics-chip-profits-a/
Yet again, a fanboy interprets a carefully constructed and educated message as an insult to their preferred system/device. He was only talking about the release price of the PS3 in response to the question above him. He never said that it was a bad system, only that the price/value ratio for him was not equal to that of the 360's.]]>Apr 26th 2010 11:38AMhttp://www.engadget.com/2010/04/26/sony-ps3-upgraded-with-cooler-45-nm-rsx-graphics-chip-profits-a/http://www.engadget.com/2010/04/26/sony-ps3-upgraded-with-cooler-45-nm-rsx-graphics-chip-profits-a/

whys that, It doesnt mean the PS3 is going to be cheaper to the consumer, just that sony will make some money on it.

Stop living under a rock dude, the PS3 is kicking ass all over the world.]]>Apr 26th 2010 8:03AMhttp://www.engadget.com/2010/04/26/sony-ps3-upgraded-with-cooler-45-nm-rsx-graphics-chip-profits-a/http://www.engadget.com/2010/04/26/sony-ps3-upgraded-with-cooler-45-nm-rsx-graphics-chip-profits-a/but it should. The higher initial price didn't bother me because I'm not 14 and didn't have to ask my parents to buy it (not that it would be an issue since they used to buy me Macs). Also I enjoy playing games with people my own age as opposed to squeaky voiced 8 year olds calling me a n*****f****t. Blu-Ray support as well as YouTube and other streaming video makes it a great all in one living room device, especially for anyone that's spending their own money on it. But if you like buying cheap, poorly made pcs, and are just buying a cheap game machine for your kids to play WW2 fps on then hell, get an xbox. Plus I hear watching DVDs through HDMI is the wave of the future. ]]>Apr 26th 2010 8:47AMhttp://www.engadget.com/2010/04/26/sony-ps3-upgraded-with-cooler-45-nm-rsx-graphics-chip-profits-a/http://www.engadget.com/2010/04/26/sony-ps3-upgraded-with-cooler-45-nm-rsx-graphics-chip-profits-a/

It really is only the PS3 fanbois that think the PS3 is kicking ass all over the world. Dude is right, PS2 was synonymous with video gaming like Nintendo used to be. It's not anymore. 360 is now known as videogaming.

I'm not saying people don't buy PS3s. Those dedicated to Playstation do, but the tables have turned and the PS brand isn't what it used to be.

Besides, 4 years later and Sony may finally make their first penny on PS3 hardware, completely pathetic.]]>Apr 26th 2010 2:16PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2010/04/26/sony-ps3-upgraded-with-cooler-45-nm-rsx-graphics-chip-profits-a/http://www.engadget.com/2010/04/26/sony-ps3-upgraded-with-cooler-45-nm-rsx-graphics-chip-profits-a/
Dude, fuck off. "My mommy and daddy used to buy me Macs so they could have bought me a PS3 when it was first released"

Nobody gives a fuck, stop thinking so highly of yourself. I'm glad you bought a first release and wasted so much money on it, hopefully you go broke someday like you deserve.

Does anyone know is the PS3 Slim does this? If it does, I hope this newer model doesn't!]]>Apr 26th 2010 7:24AMhttp://www.engadget.com/2010/04/26/sony-ps3-upgraded-with-cooler-45-nm-rsx-graphics-chip-profits-a/http://www.engadget.com/2010/04/26/sony-ps3-upgraded-with-cooler-45-nm-rsx-graphics-chip-profits-a/Apr 26th 2010 7:35AMhttp://www.engadget.com/2010/04/26/sony-ps3-upgraded-with-cooler-45-nm-rsx-graphics-chip-profits-a/http://www.engadget.com/2010/04/26/sony-ps3-upgraded-with-cooler-45-nm-rsx-graphics-chip-profits-a/Apr 26th 2010 7:51AMhttp://www.engadget.com/2010/04/26/sony-ps3-upgraded-with-cooler-45-nm-rsx-graphics-chip-profits-a/http://www.engadget.com/2010/04/26/sony-ps3-upgraded-with-cooler-45-nm-rsx-graphics-chip-profits-a/no doubt. All of my Playstations (1,2,3,psp) have all been the initial run of hardware and I have never had any type of problem with them, no disc read error, yellow light, or upside down console. For hardware that's gotten tons of use and been moved around numerous times I'd sy that pretty impressive. Ps3 has always been a better value considering it has wireless right out of the box, an Internet browser (Jesus even the wii has one) Blu-Ray drive, makes a sweet htpc, and has games other than fps and sports. PSN could be better, and I would definitely pay for a premium version of it, and I would also like some downloadable games that originally appeared on other platforms (arcade, neo-geo, etc). You can't argue with the PSone library though. The ps3 has been better pricewise even since the 399 price considering it came with a bigger hard drive and free built in wireless as opposed to a $100 adapter. Who besides people in dorm rooms has a console connected on Ethernet? And why be limited to that unless you spend extra money? That's why see owning a PS3 as analagous to owning a Mac: there's a bit of a hardware premium (which has been eliminated in ps3's case), but with that comes more included software, better build quality, and hardware features that should have been included in the first iterations of other consoles, not to mention the convenience of not having to send it for repairs to Microsoft 3-4 times before they finally make a revision to a hardware flaw that the company was aware of before the console even shipped. Just like buying a cheap pc, you save money initially, but lost time due to repairs, and having to go through several replacement machines pretty much negates any benefit. Thank god Microsoft doesn't make pc hardware other than peripherals. ]]>Apr 26th 2010 8:28AMhttp://www.engadget.com/2010/04/26/sony-ps3-upgraded-with-cooler-45-nm-rsx-graphics-chip-profits-a/http://www.engadget.com/2010/04/26/sony-ps3-upgraded-with-cooler-45-nm-rsx-graphics-chip-profits-a/
