I dont know what their problem is but here. Read it. Its old, about 2 weeks old but it seems no one cares about them giving bad reviews about the PS3. Just want to let everyone know.

Description
The New York times have continued their assault on Sony's PlayStation 3 console and have now gone so far as to recommend that readers do not buy the new hardware but instead focus on the XBox 360 or Nintendo's Wii.

The NY Times story suggests that Sony's product does not deliver what it should, considering the hype and the overnight queues during its launch. The article's author even goes so far as to state, No problem. In fact, if you are anything other than a complete Sony fanboy (that’s Internet lingo for an obsessed, myopic groupie) go ahead and forget about the PlayStation 3 this year. Even if you find one, the overhyped PS3 does not deliver an entertainment experience commensurate with its cost ($599 for the top version, not including special cables to connect to a high-definition TV), and falls short of its main competition in important ways.

The story goes on to compare Microsoft's and Sony's console's on various factors such as the available selection of games, the online element and ease of use in which Microsoft's console beats its rival, according to the NY Times. In the categories of film playback and graphics the NY Times story accepts that the consoles may be evenly matched although the author suggests that these are not adequate reasons to buy the PS3.

The story may be viewed as hostile by Playstation fans but it is important to note that the author does not dismiss the console altogether, instead he makes sure to mention that the Playstation 3 may mature and become a viable gaming and entertainment option in the coming year(s) as its availability issues are resolved, game developers get to grips with the Cell processor and the war of the DVDs finds a winner. For the time being and this holiday season however, the NY Times recommends that hardcore gamers purchase the XBox 360 and those seeking a fun all-round entertainment experience go for the Wii.

*Starts up a raid of fanboys on NY times website*

Well it seems pretty accurate as a whole at the moment I mean for real.. all fanboyism aside the meat of the PS3 isn't due for a year, its costing 600$ +tax to collect dust, its wildly unavailable your best bet for the PS3 will be mid/late '07 & '08 and the power house games won't be finished until that same time late '07 & '08.

There is nothing wrong with the article since most of it is correct (except for buying an X-box360 just wait for the Ps3 in '07).

Ya think Sony could sue for defamation? Rofl, that would be hilarious.

The media format the PS3 has taken up. It's supposed to offer enough space to create a 'beautiful, realistic world', and is said to be the next best format for DVDs. In truth, it's not needed. Period. Unless these people have money and time flowing out their asses like Square Enix, (or lifeless like the Blue Dragon team) there is no way in hell they will spend the time and money to make a 50, 60, or 200 gig game at the risk of a sales failure.

I'm thinking of waiting at least till very late 07 or very early 08, I have my PS2 plus 140 games, I will survive without a next gen console.

Are you serious? o_O
I'm even more surprised that you counted.

GoFlyAKite · 12-18-2006, 08:01 PM

Well, I counted back when I had 120, I do so not have a life! And I actually only have around 134 right now, but I'm getting 6 for Christmas!

- Bully - Rockstar, end of story!
- Okami - How could I resist it, it's like I'm in a painting.
- THP8 - I heard bad reviews after I ordered them, but I've loved all of them, so I'm pretty certain I'll like this one too.
- Lego Star Wars II - The first one was one of the best Star Wars games ever.
- Psychonauts - Makers of Grim Fandango and Full Throttle, two of the greatest oldies.
- Family Guy - For laughs, even if it does suck as a game.

By the way, they are burned games, I'm not rich. Yay for Mod Chips!
