Sep 15th 2009 2:02PM (Joystiq)The poll really isn't all that surprising. I own all three and the handhelds. Hell I still own a Saturn and a Dreamcast. Which one do I use most: The PS3. Why? Well I march to a different beat than the larger percentage. If the PS3 suddenly became the dominant system I'd probably start preaching PC.
But I mean really, right now the PS3 is the underground system that not a lot of people own. Only the really hardcore gamers are going to buy it. The 360 is the adult system for people who don't want a Wii necessarily. And the Wii is the system everyone who wasn't a gamer bought, and then gamers became disenfranchised with. The casual gamer for the Wii on top of that probably was only willing to spend enough to get a low priced 360 on top of this. Microsoft tends to get lots of exclusivity so its only natural a gamer who owns a PS3 would want a 360 as well.
Really, a true lover of games, is going to want to own all three and a PC.

Aug 1st 2009 10:37PM (Joystiq)Super-size Three: PS3 can read Pioneer's 16-layer, 400GB Blu-ray Discs
Dec 3rd 2008 9:35PM (Joystiq)Really what should be happening is the realization that in the 80's a meg was huge and now we have trilobytes and a 400 GB CD.
While solidstate technology is neat its not going to be successful until a trilobyte harddrive is common. Think about it, an HD movie currently takes up 6+ Gigs and a 128 gig solidstate hard drive is around $500? Not the best ratio. And lets not forget how easy its going to be to lose data on a solidstate. Solid states have a whole lot of vulnerabilities that I am not entirely comfortable with.
Also when you factor all the extras that everyone pays out the ass for on DVD's and Blue Rays are only going to get more extreme. Especially if the popularity of reality TV and celebrity worship keeps up (ie the publics desire to see behind the scenes). Movies and detail are simply going to become more and more data intensive. And as game developers figure out how to program their software in native 1080p (which neither system has much of despite back of the box claims), games are going to significantly increase in size.
Personally I'm more fascinated how technology moves forward than whether republicans or democrats are--- wait I mean whether the 360 or PS3 is better.
Oh and no one seems to have brought up that reading that much data from a compressed area would require a hot f***ing laser.
Either way, I'm impressed.
Happy second birthday to the PS3
Nov 18th 2008 3:26PM (Joystiq)Personally I'm a big RPG and general fan of the odd. None of the new systems fulfill my RPG lusts but they keep seeming to come out with new RPG's for the PS2 that I buy.
The dozen or so games that I have bought for the PS3 I have been very impressed with. I realize that most of them are cross platform , but oh well. I still get the game at an excellent quality. The only things that make me hesitate buying a game for a console system rather than my computer are companies like Bethseda who releases excellent games full of glitches. I'm more comfortable with my computer glitching than one of my consoles.
Really I use my PS3 for media more than anything. Blue Rays are excellent but I tend to watch things I download off of my media server on my PS3.
I do hope that whatever it is that Sony did differently during their PS3 release (cause they did the same crap during the PS2 release and everyone loved them for it) that made everyone so mad at them diminishes.
And I very much look forward to seeing what developers can do once they finally stop being lazy and make full use of all the available cores on the PS3.
