    So let me get this straight....

    standard run o' the mill, salt of the earth TV's are left on the sidelines when it comes to the PS3...

    seriously?!?

    will the average individual making this purchase (i.e. parents at Christmas), be aware of this?

    and better yet, how many kids have HD tv's in their rooms (where many systems will be relegated)?
    I never had it like this where I grew up. But I send my kids here because the fact is you go to one of the best schools in the country: Rushmore. Now, for some of you it doesn't matter. You were born rich and you're going to stay rich. But here's my advice to the rest of you: Take dead aim on the rich boys. Get them in the crosshairs and take them down. Just remember, they can buy anything but they can't buy backbone. Don't let them forget it. Thank you.Herman Blume - Rushmore

    No, it will work, it just won't be HD. Ah, $600 for standard definition. I can't wait for all the people to buy into their integrated Blu Ray, and think, boy, HD DVD sure looks a lot better than this crap.

    IGN: You're in luck, compadre. The PS3 will display a game at whatever resolution you specify. Good thing, too, since we know it's a question many IGN readers shared.

    This just in:
    PS3's are
    *Exploding upon starting up
    *Blu-Ray is not really a HD format (it actually destroys all HD tv's making them unable to play any HD material)
    *Mind controling humans to pay extreme prices for worthless 11lb consoles and thereby making SONY "The New World Order"



    and much more to come

    I think there have also been reports of rampant puppy slayings and monkey torture in the Midwest.

    I'm sorry, I didn't know we weren't supposed to talk about reported problems with the PS3 in the "PS3 Problems" thread.

    I'm terribly sorry if the link to the IGN article has somehow damaged your ego. The PS3 is the be all, end all technological advancement of all time. It is perfect in every sense of the word, and anyone who dares utter otherwise is just a Sony basher/hater.

    Please return to your regularly programmed PS3 circlejerk/love fest.

    On the same website, there is about a 10 minute video preview of the PS3 from retail box to setup. It auto defaults at 480, so that it will work on any tv. Then between the tv and the PS3 you can pick whatever resolution you want.
    My big disapointment is that is does not upconvert low res material to high res.


    Anyway,



    at my local K-Mart thier was an unconfirmed report on the only two PS3's recieved that they turned into a jello jelly type substance. The new gaming device simply started ozzing from the corners of the box.

    Just in,


    there is a high interest in the PS3 in its liquid form. New prices will soon follow.....

    All chances to get the console in my little town are shot down. I was gonna have my younger brother wait in line tonight like he did for his X-360. To bad i am about 18 hours to late.:eek:

    This just in:
    PS3 does not have "surround sound", instead is an unidentified prehistoric mono sound. An UPMS you say, this confirms why only sound will come from one speaker and will not work on any tv supporting "stereo" going back to the 80's.

    Actually, the PS3 is a robot that destroys all non-Sony equipment in your house by high-frequency Electromagnetic forces.

    This just in: Tubes are safe.

    And another advancement in the story, all non Sony media will be destroyed too. - Hope you backed all your CDs up on MiniDisk or ATRAC
    God shows his love for us in that while we were still sinners, Christ died for us. - Romans 5:8

    Breaking News:
    The PS3 consumes so much power that they can create small vortexs. Which can suck up small animals. Nothing larger than a full size gerbil at best.

    How will you know of this vortex is about to rain down upon your PS3, you ask?????
    *The power cord will glow red hot and fry like a fast fuse on a firecracker.
    *The unit will start to levitate and spin out of control. Consuming itself, much like the car in back to the future.

    Soon after, the vortex appears. At that point, shut down all power to the house and hide your favorite hamster. No telling what an unstable tear in the vortex will do to the small rodents.

    Much more to come........

    Okay my take is this. If you want Blu-Ray then the ps3 is your system of choice. If Blu-Ray means nothing to you, then go with the 360. All gaming titles that the 360 has the ps3 will have.
    Their are a select few titles that will be for that console only....like Socom (360 has GRAW...woopee), Halo (ps3 I'm sure will have killzone...yeah!), Gran Turismo...(360 has Forza...ohhh boy!) Otherwise everything else will be the same.
    Who cares who is right or wrong, just pick a system...get both, and freaking go with it. Me personally I went 360, I already modded it, and I am getting my gaming on. Thats all I really care about.
    And look at the ps3 game releases...Oblivion, Blazing Angels, Full Auto 2, Half Life 2 (this was an original Xbox release...how much better will this be?), FEAR, Godfather, College Hoops 2k7, and a few I never heard of (Lair, Heavenly Sword, and SingStar). So why would someone want a ps3 if they own a 360? Blu-Ray, that would be the only justifiable answer. Those titles I just mentioned have been in 360 owners hands for months now...if not a year (Like Blazing angels).

    EDIT: Sony needs something like Gears of War, to really make it a must own system.

    Server or no server... I SERIOUSLY doubt they had any PS3s available on their website to begin with. Probably just posted the listing on there as a bait and switch - get you to the site with the hope of buying that, and when you realize it's sold out, you shop around for other things.

    I always wondered, does this mean "laughing out loud out loud out loud out loud"? Or is it like a stutter? "laughing out laughing out laughing out laughing out loud"?

    I "seriously" doubt Costco would need or want to stoop to "bait and switch" tactics. You gotta buy a membership to even shop there.

    Yes, Costco had them, but they were released by area on their website by time zone.
