All you have to do is look at the PS2 and Xbox. PS2 Xbox No, don't look at the numbers or the scores... just look at the amount of different content. The Playstation obviously caters to a different group of people.

Right, because that's all the Playstation is right? Metal Gear Solid! <{POST_SNAPBACK}> Exclusive content 360 won't likely get near the same time? Almost. It's why every one is saying you should just buy a 360 and Wii instead of a PS3 <{POST_SNAPBACK}> Not sure what you are saying. I have said this before, but... There is a world of different between the games that both consoles provide (literally).

I have no interest in an Xbox 360. Besides, I already have the PC for that.

I agree. It's pretty stupid to believe a motion sensing control with introduce a new world of gaming. How different is that control from... let's say, a mouse?

My EB Games just phased out the used PC section and cut the new games for PC to just one tiny shelf in the back of the store. I asked a clerk what the heck happened and he said that EB Games decided on a corporate level to do it. He was pissed off, their store made a lot of money off the used PC games and even the new ones. I was pissed off because I like used PC games. <{POST_SNAPBACK}> It's been liked that at my EBgames for some time... Just one little shelf in the back with only the new releases.

Were you not paying attention? Rumor is false.

I started up Legend of Mana. The music is incredible and the game has this absolutely beautiful visual style. It's quiet non-linear for a jRPG. You pretty much do the different story-arcs at your own pace (you only have to complete one to "beat" the game, but doing all of them gives you the greatest sense of the world). Combat is a bit on the button-mashy-side, but it's fun and features multiplayer!

<{POST_SNAPBACK}> Llyranor to the rescue!

Better get that third party cooling unit.

Bummer, hope you can get a replacement at the very least. (though, your first mistake was buying a 360 in the first place )

All right, there is no dout that the Nintendo Wii had the strongest presentation at E3. I'm also sure the well managed booth feed the hype machine... will that translate into sales though?

Diablo flashbacks?

Pokemon = Pocket monster ... Besides, I feel weird typing Pokemon for some reason.

Quiet a lot of new features. Two on Two battles for one. Monsters can equip little power-up items and berries to use when they get into certain situations. Lots and lots of new abilities (I didn't recognize most of them when I started) and an almost completely new set of monsters to recruit. A lot of new outside of battle skills. There is a lot of stuff to do besides the obvious battling and catching... You can plent berries, build little houses, Contest (weird mini-game), making Poke'block (another weird mini-game), breeding... You don't have to like or know anything about it. The game is just fun.

So... Nintedo is going up? Sony down? That will teach Sony to just shut the hell up while they are ahead.

Cool. I do remember it feeling like Link to the past ... It has a lot more exploring for one (once you get out on the worldmap) and the fact that it's 3d adds a hole new dimension to the game.

How is Legend of Zelda? Have you learned to love it yet?

X800XL, I knew it would run hot since a lot of the initial reviews pointed out that it could easily be 40c at title temp... And yeah, it hovers around 40-45c at startup and shots up to about 70c during gameplay... really intensive stuff and have it shot up to the 90s... I've never had any heat related problems though... not even an artifact.

Is it really that bad to have temps so high? My temps during gameplay easily reach 75C+ at times....

Your right. I did forget to mention it. Great game (get the latest version). Very fun and addictive.

Though $600 is a lot of money, it's still something that I could afford rather easily. But... the thing that gets me is how hard Sony is trying to convince everyone that it isn't just another console... but it IS! PS3 is a game machine and anything else is second to that. All this BS about it being able to sell without games and anything having to do with the PS philosophy... it's utter crap that they continue to (or try) shove down everyones throat.

Llyranor... Your really making me not want to buy it. Honestly, what kind of BS are they trying to pull... =(

By all, you mean FF? Ha. <{POST_SNAPBACK}> Well, it's square-ENIX now too ya know... So that means Dragon Quest, Star Ocean as well. Also SE is trying to bring back some of it's older series too. Secret of Mana is back (with 2 new games!) if they do well, we could see more of them on the PS3. =)

<_< I was about to use that example.
