PS3 'gamercard' option seen during demo

Except when/if XBL goes free, they'll just be copying SONY.

Right????

cool when more ps3s are sold u get more money?!

Not more money, just more games and people to play said games with.

No, there's a space between "Gamer" and "Card". See?

Personally, as a 360 owner, I could care less about what Sony does to improve their online service. By the time Halo 3 comes out, it won't matter.

And I'm not saying that to be a Halo fanboy, I'm saying it because everyone else will be too busy playing the game to care less about what Sony's doing, save for the few that swear they'll never play a 360 ever, "Because it sucks."

Mmhmm.

I don't think you own a 360, because if you did, you would understand that all you're saying is bullshit. The holiday lineup for the 360 is the PS3's downfall. PS3 has done nothing innovative for the gaming community or the development of games themselves- other than further complicate them for no real gains.

Here, I'm going to quote myself here...

"BioShock, Mass Effect, Alan Wake, Halo 3, Ace Combat 06, TimeShift, Fable 2, Project Gotham Racing 4, Stuntman: Ignition, Sega Rally Evo, and Halo Wars (not really looking forward to it, but its going to be solid non-the-less).

Not to mention the games we already have (even before the release of the PS3 versions if there are any) DiRT, Forza Motorsport 2 (rapes GTHD, GT5, and GT in general in every way possible), Gears of War, Test Drive Unlimited (may be old, and may be on multiple systems, but it isn't on the PS3, and has the best online community of all the platforms, not to mention the most downloads and is a very original and fun driving game), Command and Conquer 3, Crackdown, Dead Rising, Quake 4, the better versions of CoD3 and Oblivion, Call of Duty 2 (the best version, too), Prey, and the shitloads of amazing arcade games. When Quake 3 Arena is released on XBLA, the shit has hit the fan for the PS3- Hell, in all practical views, it already has."

The PS3 CAN NOT compare.

I wouldn't doubt that you're Chad Wardenn.

Sorry Zeus. You are wrong. The PS3 outclasses your 360 holiday lineup for the simple fact that most of your said titles will end up on PC too. The rest you can have. You won't buy them, they are just your amo. PS3 exclusive means 95% PS3. 360 Exclusive means PC too!!!!!!

Without the failure rate.

Sorry, fanboy, but whether it is going to PC or not is not the issue, as most people who buy these consoles are people who are not interested in PC games, so as far as they are concerned, its exclusive.

Now, whether its coming out on PC or not, its still not going to be out on PS3, and it may take you time to come to grips with that, but the PS3 cannot compare to the 360. It has no games- and that is what counts.

I'm not upset just because Sony is copying MS. I'm upset because I own both consoles, and if they're both going to end up being the same there's no fucking point to it, and it's all Sony's fault I spent over $500 on a copycat system.

You know how MS decided to go with Live and the whole personalization thing? And how Nintendo went with waggle controls? Sony came up with nothing. They just threw in half-assed versions of both features, and a Blu-ray player (which I've yet to even use). I said, okay whatever, I'm sure it will get better and Home will turn things around, but it's just Xbox Live with a touch of Sims thrown in. As for the games themselves, I am not overly impressed. BioShock looks much better than anything I've played on PS3. It was the first game I actually confused CGI with in-game.

hmm...dont know WHY my comment turned out like that, oh well

But there are major differences between PC's and Consoles which is why Xbox Live is viewed as innovative...There has never been a full online community on a console...One of their keys to making the experience work was the Gamertag...Sony saw that and they are taking it big whoop they've been doin it for....actually since the Playstation was a brand

Yeah, I mean when I was in the middle of shitting my pants the first time that big daddy showed up in the demo, I stopped to think, "Wow, this game would be so much better with uncompressed 7.1 audio!"

Get a life, dude.

Indeed, there is a thing called a Gamercard. Gamertag is the name of your online user, and Gamercard is a thing that sums up all your Live information on a small little card (which is viewed on screen). Every XBL user has one, and you can view anyone's either on your xbox or on xbox.com.
