Yes, my friends and unloved n00bs. I have it. The PS3.

First thoughts are how is that going to sit next to my Wii.
Second is Shiny.

Demonicus Prime · 03-23-2007, 04:41 PM

So... Can't you use the Wiimote to control the motion sensors on the PS3?

The Doctor · 03-23-2007, 05:35 PM

*shrugs* Dunno, and to be honest. Don't care. I've managed to get the internet working on it. (Which I'm typing this on my PS3 right now.)

**Booyakasha** · 03-28-2007, 10:55 PM

See, everyone? Nomyt and I each have a PS3, and we're not evil. Especially not Nomyt. (I freely admit to being a little more evil, as evidenced by the fact that I'm about to gloat, albeit gently, that I had my PS3 months before he did. Prepare yourself, Nomyt: nanner-boo.) (I'm posting this from my PS3, as well, by the way.)

(EDIT: Just out of curiosity, what PS3 games have you got? I picked up 'Resistance' and 'Untold Legends' right away, followed in short order by that 'Marvel' game, 'VF5', and 'Motorstorm'.)

***Ace Mercury*** · 03-28-2007, 10:58 PM

Hey, if they accepted vB points, I'd get a PS3 as well.

I have Motorstorm, Resistance and Genji. I'm going to get Enchanted Arms (which I believe isn't in U.S. yet), when Blockbuster will let me trade "Click" on Blue-ray for it.

And later on next month I shall buy Elder Scolls, might also get Untold Legends (however I heard that it is pants. So I'm going to rent it first.)

Demonicus Prime · 03-29-2007, 04:36 PM

Enchanted Arms is already out here. And you will not, WILL NOT regret getting Oblivion. It's brilliant.

**Booyakasha** · 03-29-2007, 06:43 PM

'Untold Legends' isn't bad; I mean, it covers all the bases well enough. It's more that the field is crowded. Hell, there's plenty of hack-and-slash action/RPGs out there; for all that 'Untold Legends' is a good game, it's also a pretty familiar one.

I might end up getting a PS3 just for the Blu-Ray and the fact that I can play Stranglehold on it (in which case my Dad would probably help pay since he would be interested in the Blu-Ray part). But I'm definitely getting a Wii, PS3 or not.

Does that make my thoughts evil?

**Booyakasha** · 03-29-2007, 06:49 PM

^Well, I can feel the hatred swelling in you, if that helps.

Demonicus Prime · 03-30-2007, 04:58 PM

Excuse the 360 fanboy, but why Blu-Ray and not HD-DVD? Personal preference?

Bomby · 03-30-2007, 09:08 PM

Blu-Ray is able to display in 1080p, while HD-DVD can only display in 780p. It looks ****ing amazing. A single disc holds 50 GB, much more than an HD-DVD disc. Plus, it takes advantage of the blue-laser technology, while HD-DVD still uses red lasers.

Also, Blu-Ray only has 3 region codes, and the United States is in the same region as Hong Kong, Japan, and South Korea (three countries who produce many of my favorite movies). HD-DVD has the same amount as regular DVD.

Appartently for the PS3, Enchanted Arms isn't out.

Plus I've seen the graphics difference for Oblivion.
