Stranglehold slips again on PC, PS3
Guy with two guns epic Stranglehold is still struggling to get a grip on the PS3 and PC, with both versions facing delays just as the Xbox 360 version sees completion. Inspector Tequila's seething vendetta against neatly stacked grocery stands begins on the Xbox 360 September 5th (September 14th in Europe), with the PC version now following on September 18th in the US and the 21st in Europe.
Shacknews reports that the PS3 version of the bullet bonanza is now scheduled for release on September 25th, which translates to an imprecise "October" for Europe.

2- You're halarious because it seems you do this to get attention.
3- Saying Heavenly Sword is a flop when it didn't come out yet is funny. Are you Professor X, na I say Jean Grey.
4- Ps3 get's the 360 ports because rght now it's easier to develop for the 360. Some devs won't take time to imporove the port and complain more about it. I have links in you want.
5- People buy PS3's to play games same for a 360 owner and Wii owner
* Ppl don't bother replying to him. He wants attention.
Ah well if we are busy anyway:
Either the PS3 game is worse, or it is delayed and looks the same (Madden '08 and GRAW 2 as perfect examples respectively (even though I heard GRAW 2 actually has more frame rate dips and less AA on PS3, but not from reliable sources))
And that's not factoring in the usually better online and things like achievements.
But no worries, devs will soon unlock the power of the CELL! Soon I tell you!
I think there's definitely a point to owning a PS3. It's getting some exclusives and it's a powerful machine. It's helping bring HD movies to the masses. It's the successor to the most successful video game console ever.
I just don't see the point to owning one NOW. For me, the value is not there. When the machine is cheaper, there are more games out, and the machine is cheaper ;), it will be worth owning. If the games come though. I don't buy a console on what it might or might not provide me in a year or two.
Others might see value in it where they don't see value in another console that you might own. What's the problem with that? If a gamer is willing to spend that kind of cash on a few mediocre exclusives that his/her business.

"All games come late" True
"Game are always better on the 360" Check reviews
"Heavenly and Lair are flops" IGN Lair: 4.9, Heavenly 7 (Not very AAA titles like the PS3 Fanboys keep saying since December last year)
I mean, Im not lying, Im just saying things that PS3 fanboys already know, but they dont accept.
Now, Heavenly and Lair are flops, since december they are saying" just wait until lair and heavenly and bla bla... now they are saying the same with Uncharted and Ratchet... I accept that those looks great (graphically) but c'mon! Ratchet is fun for about 2 hours, then the game is boring, repetitive and extremely easy.
Lest see if Uncharted and Ratchet doesnt flop... just remember, graphics doesnt make a good game... Lair and Heavenly are the perfect examples.
Best quote of the day.
Delays are a good thing for games, though it pisses off the populous, you get a game that is much more stable most of the time. If only Rock* could figure that out with GTA.
"Game are always better on the 360" Check reviews"
Ha, reviews are, at best, a set of guidelines and that's ONLY if you have the same taste in games as the reviewer. Reviews by magazines/sites are just about the worst way to pick a game because they have their own agendas. Wait til it comes out, rent the game, and play it yourself, there's the only review worth listening to.
The phrase "AAA title(s)" is getting old, it's like saying "check out the A-list of movies". In all honesty, "AAA titles" are the most overhyped/overrated games imaginable, Halo2, Final Fantasy XII, (I'm gonna get killed for this one)* Legend of Zelda: "Insert subtitle here". All of which were overhyped to hell, but sucked when they came out.
The only thing I agree with you on here Fernando, is that good graphics != good game.
*Please note that I'm of the opinion that EVERY LoZ game is the same damn thing, so insert your own Nintendo franchise if you must.
I meant multiplatform games
Gamespot gave Tiger Woods 08 on the PS3 a higher score than the 360. The 360 had more bugs. And this is a game from EA who is supposedley focusing more on 360 development. :(
wonder why....................

That said, I agree with Fernando's point of PS3 fans running the phrase "just wait for [insert game here]..." into the ground. I'm getting tired of waiting, personally.
PS3 may be worth the investment in the future, but there's little excuse for having one over a 360 at the moment.

Yet another delay for the PS3. It must be really hard to unlock that "power" just so the games look and play as good as the 360 or PC version. Although, it seems like each have their drawbacks; delays, RRODs, and upgrade costs. In the end, it works out evenly.

Mmm, SiteSeer, that's some good pro-PS3 trolling you've got memorized there. Please pull out the Final Fantasy and MGS cards out of the same old stained pocket. That thing's gotta be crusty by now. And are people really that gassed about GT5?
Here's what I predict...all these games, maybe...*maybe* with the exception of MGS4 will come and go and make the same waves that other supposedly great PS3 games like Motorstorm, Lair, and Warhawk made. That is, ripples. Sony got severly ganked this time around. As far as that whole "30%" failure rate overplayed card goes, you know what? No one actually cares. People will still buy the 360 and people whose 360 have died will happily get theirs replaced rather than shell out a few hundred dollars more for an as yet unproven system. That's right, I said "unproven." Can you dig it? I knew that you could. The PS3 might very well be "more stable" than a 360, but so far all I've seen it do is have its games either delayed repeatedly, ported off into crappy versions, try to cure a disease, and what's that other thing...oh yeah, the Second Life/MySpace/Achievements ripoff thingy called Home. Golf claps all around for that stunning piece o' hardware.
But hey, go ahead and pull out the R:FOM and Blu-Ray cards out while you're at it as well. These be desperate times for Sony fans.

And Thanky You, I will enjoy My "Delayed Again, Xbox 306 Version Is better Than My PS3 Version, Weak lineup Piece of Whatever you wanna call it" PS3. Because In the end I'm Happy with the Purchase I made, And I know for sure Sony Developers will come through and Show The Lazy Developers Of todays gaming world How to make a smooth game. All That is needed is Simply A small Pint of patience just As you Xbox 360 Fans brag about when Your system goes Brick on you. So it all evens out.

As for Slaziman, Put your money where your mouth is. I dare you, give the system a try. Other than that, don't talk before you critcize something you don't own or can't afford. Don't let it come to the point where someone puts you in the little hole you belong in and makes you look like a stupid fanboy. Have a good day.
