Hmmmmm, classic Sony... I'm sure everyone will agree so wholeheartedly. Afterall, music so trivial in a game. That's why they release OSTs from games. Could you imagine playing a FF game without music, Sony!
Awesome insight on the PS3 Danny! I heard that Sony said that the PS2 glitch will be fixed in a newer software revision. I hope my power at home doesn't go out since we got some crazy wind right now~ Oh yeah I heard about an magnitude 8.1 earthquake that shook Japan today (or was it yesterday). Hope everything is safe. Cheers,
Hehe. Classic Sony stuff. They will probably go "one can ignore the trival stuff like playing the old games. Buy the new games instead!" :p By the way, I posted this link in one of the comments in the PS3 review post. Don't know if you have seen it yet. http://www.play3-live.com/news-ps3/2438/la-ps3-les-tripes-a-l-air.html The interior of the PS3
Yea, I expected something like this. It's too bad about the Gundam game *sigh* well there goes my one and only reason (for the time being) to want a PS3.
I guessed as much. Gundam games seem to be designed for hardcore fans who only buy it cos its Gundam (im looking at you Danny - buy it!). I played a japanese Gundam seed arcade game and I was bored quickly. It was like Virtual ON but slower. The only cool stompy mech game Ive ever played was the little known, and American made 'Slave Zero' Im gonna wait 4 or 5 months til after the (delayed) PS3 UK launch - maybe some decent games will be out then.
I coulda told you that the gundam gameplay was gona stink from just the videos... it looked very slow and not smooth. Are there any rumors of a ZOE 3? Now that is a game that has almost perfect controls. I might get one 5 years from now when it is at a reasonable price.
well for ebay, to create an account you need to enter unique information such as: creditcard #. Additionally in eBay you are responsible for any bids, so if you dont pay, your account would have negative feedback and possibly be banned. Not sure how yahoo.jp auction works.. don't they have some protection for sellers? It seems like there a big loophole where seller can bump up their bid price without any risk. BTW. Danny you're not getting a Wii? I bet it will be more entertaining :)
Ha ha, your English turned to Engrish at the end there, but it happens to all of us ex-pats.
I was expected the early releases of the games will be bad. Development of the games on PS console always tough. The game developers might not be able to fully utilize the PS3's power. I'll get PS3 just because of Metal Gear Solid 4 :P
aw man, i saw the yahoo auction too. its insane. sucks for people who actually wana get the ps3 and play games when resellers just nab the consoles. but ill prob wait till next year when mgs4 and gran turismo comes out ^.^
As expected and on schedule that they release the system riddled with bugs. Down the line though I am sure games will get better. For now, its a no go for this one. Metal Gear Solid 4 TEMPTS me to buy the system, and that is about it. I will leave it to the folks at home to buy a PS3 for the family if they want, and then use it for my enjoyment. I am still going after the Wii.
Hey danny, speaking of ps3, a new product called "Zune", a mp3 by microsoft came across my mind. I was wondering if you could reply back whether I should get Zune or not, since you're so up to date with those gadgets =P Thanks! PS: Maybe pros and cons about Zune too? and your recommendation on it as well =]
You know, in all technicality, If someone in eBay or whatnot says they will buy a PS3 for eleventy billion dollars, they are legally bound to do that, and the seller can press charges to the buyer for fraud.
dailytech managed to "CSI" the notorious machine: http://dailytech.com/article.aspx?newsid=4908 (ack! danny! you're really making me itch to get melissa! make it stop! heh)
lol, guys at sony must have thought they could get away with it thru the virtue of the internet enabled software upgrade function. I guess they probaby did a rush job on it just so they'd be in time for the holiday season. ^^
The only game that really tempts me into buying a playstation 3 at the moment is Metal Gear Solid 4, but its still not enough to make me part with the ridiculous money the PS3 will cost on launch Here in the UK. I think even though Sony is making a loss on every console sold, they should have more faith in the games (Like Microsoft did with the Xbox and 360) and drop the price in order to shift more consoles. Like everything though, the price will drop after a few months anyway ^_^
why they are selling it once they buy it... really weirdd. and another thing they should ban the people who put the 10,000,000,000 yen bid ahah
to the guy who asked about the zune reviews. you can go to techeblog.com and check it out. i was reading that the wireless sharing of music isnt that great and limits people to 3 files a day or something.
Wii is looking better and better. Will be released in US in just few days, sweet...
So does this mean that those who now own a PS3 have actually been missold them. How funny would it be if all those people who queued for hours, all queued up again, to return them. Consumer power !!!! :)
not suprised at all at PS3 bugs and Sony's response. -_- sad as it is, bugs are pretty much a fact of console launch. i suppose as long as sony releases a patch for backward compatibility in the future it would be good, but i doubt greatly Sony would be that generous. Im really sad at the gundam game tho. looks like the curse of francised games=crap continues.
I feel sad when I think how Sony manages its customer relationship
Ps3: gd thing u mention about the bug .. (i have say, it's really a small bug) you jus cant play SOME of the ps1 / ps2 games. PSP is still unable to play ANY ps1 game! Gundam: shame that they have made it crap gameplay again. i should have thought that once bandai merge with Namco things can only be better!
Jason, My Wii is secured ;-) Windbell, Thanks - saw that on some JP site - I like the way they dont include a clickable link to the source.
Ha ha ha! My friend told me about what went on in Japan. I'd say something witty, but I won't. Even without this situation, I'm not going to buy either either system. The PS3 is such a risky investment and SNK Playmore does agree with me too, even though I have hated a good amount of their games for the past five years. The Aii, er, the Wii is another Gamecube and N64: all hype and no substance. I made a mistake by buying a 64 and my brother made a mistake by buying a Gamecube. There is no way neither one of us will make the same mistake. The way I see it, it will follow the same flaws as the last two and it already started with the horrid standard controller. (You don't expect me to perform a Raging Storm with that remote now, do you?)
Ack! Last post felt so Engrish right there. Why does that character look familiar? XD
sony's products have flaws nothing new... n thats why im getting the wii
sad.....so sad!! guess Il wait a while before getting it!! Hope they resolve all the issues by then!!
Ah, I just remembered who that character is. XD Anyway, North America just got the PS3 yesterday and it'll get the Wii tomorrow. Kami-sama have mercy on their souls if they released their systems on the same day. Oh. Didn't know that you can get away with selling stuff on the month of January in Japan. That's not the case just about elsewhere though.
Dunno if you'll answer me, Danny but was wondering how heavy do you feel the PS3 is? Like comparisons to the older machines etc.
My complain is a little different. I bought one at a reasonably high price, thinking that I could connect it to my Sony LCD monitor (with a HDMI-DVI cable) and see what the HD hype is all about, but you know what? It didn't work. There's input, but the monitor fails to display anything. But the thing that gets to me the most, is not the technical problem here, but rather the online customer service I have been getting. I sent an e-mail to the Customer Service and the replies I got were absolutely ridiculous. They would reply with answers that has nothing to do with my question, and they would do it over and over again. Other than that, I don't have much gripes about the system. I still think Wii is better though.
My friend was telling me about these stories about the ps3, I'd like to believe there not true but sense I think you know what your talking about i'll ask you. He was telling me that a ridiculous amount of ps3s that just came out don't work. They either won't turn on or just cut off and never turn back on. From what he says people are suing Sony because they won't fix it or send in a new one. Is all this true? (if its not much trouble could you send the reply to my email) - Dieing_in_life@yahoo.com
