Time for some Sony execs to fall on their swords.
Wow!! After "Ultimate Doom" I'm really looking forward to this one! Shame it's on PS3 though.
SONY YOU ARE A JOKE!
I can't wait to see what pre-rendered footage Sony have at their press conference that they'll try to con people into believing is in-game.
I mean, it'd have generated even more enmity, and that's always fun.
Sony is dying, they are choking their last, desperate gasps of stale air...
As soon as the glorious day arrives - their declaration that they will cease to be a hardware developer, there will be a very apparent power vacuum...
And only one company has the experience to take that power...
Daddy's coming home...!
If you're going to stick the knife in properly you should at least get the fucking grammar right.
Also, I actually bought a ps3 on thursday - for the Blu Ray of course :-P
You probably won't care that I enjoy using it more than my 360.
But, you might care that I had a job buying one because they appear to be selling out.
By the way, Metal Gear Solid is very, VERY good.
So there :P
Destroy Inquiry
PS3: Terminated
360: Pending Termination
Wii: Status Pending
Dreamcast: Immortal
How did one of them find their way onto UKR? This isn't xboxer. YOU'RE NOT WELCOME HERE.
Seriously, PS3 owners need to go and play Daytona on the Saturn or Dreamcast and not stop until they've realised that Sony has totally failed to embrace blue sky gaming.
Doom on you Sony!
DOOM ON YOU! DOOM ON YOU!
The term shit console doesn't apply only to it's game library, since it has really big and good titles: Rally Revo, Superstar Tennis, Virtua Fighter 5, Valkyria Chronicles and Yakuza (just a few good examples but other than that, it's a rather lame library). It's the console on the whole. I won't delay myself with this. You're clearly a fanboy so I won't bother.
"Sadly my other console (the 360) plays films on an outdated format."
And who the hell is talking about Xbox? And since when can the Playstation's failures be excused by another console's failures?
DVD outdated? You're a riot. Get your ass out of your house RIGHT NOW and go to some place where they sell movies. Last time I checked (yesterday) the DVD section was 10x bigger than the Blue Ray section. It is true that in some years it will be the next big thing but right now? Not really. Hell this summons Sony's career pretty well! Lies, delays and "in da future".
What to do if tou own a ps3:
- Sell your ps3 while it's "hot" or
- Keep it so in 50 years it will be "retro" and synonym with failure. so maybe will do well in ebay.
Terminated? You wish lol a ps3 is one of the cheapest blu ray players available and whether you like to admit it or not blu rays will replace dvds.

Yes, Blu-Ray will replace DVD, in much the same way that Satalitte radio has replaced AM radio. It will become the default, more expensive standard in a dead market. Hooray.
I can't believe there are honestly people who still think Blu-Ray will actually replace the DVD market. Yeah, if there's one thing people want to do during global market instability (especially in the #1 consumer market, where there is basically a depression) it is buy all new TVs and all new, expensive things to play movies on.
Especially when the movies are more expensive! Add on that salespeople in all the stores have been told to tell them the cables alone are $75, and it'd be shocking if they didn't sell out all Christmas.
Now look at the kids today who watch more youtube than TV, and look at the number of internet connections. Then get an estimate of DVD sales compared to illegal DVD downloads. Now take all that together and try to believe Blu-Ray is really going to be the wave of the future. I mean, it's a upgraded compact disc. Who wouldn't choose that as something to buy during a recession? I mean, it's at least another three years before it is replaced by download services, and the massive DVD market will certainly die completely to nothing to step adside for Blu-Ray sometime this year.
Word verification: lusked: A new word for the net generation that describes when a technology fails because it is focused on the past and is releasing at the wrong time. Sample usuage: Blu-Ray is totally lusked.
Except nobody gives a shit about a new movie format so soon after DVD finally established itself over VHS (give or take a few years).
I dont know anyone who wants to have to buy their entire film library again in a format that offers nothing noticeably different over DVD (unless you own a 50 inch 1080p Hi-Def monster).
Besides why buy when you can get for free of the pirate bay.
In this example, the word "cheap" is a placeholder for "shit".
Samsung make Blu-ray players for half the price of a PS3, and there's no remorse about half the machine's potential being WASTED because there are no games for it.
Which is great, as Sony loses money on the hardware then doesn't make any of it back through game sales.
Thanks Ken Kutaragi, you're the greatest UKR undercover agent of all.
IT'S A FUCKING CONSOLE, YOU CUNTS.
It's like telling someone your car's wicked just because it has good speakers.
I bought my PS3 just for MGS4(for now at least). I have a BR drive on my PC anyway so I really AM looking at my PS3 purely from a gaming perspective.
I don't care about FF at all, but it's funny that this has happened, just because it's made all these people angry for no reason.
And for all these 'serious' posters, just fuck off. That goes for the fanboys and the defenders of the crown.
The only things we should be defending on UKR are SEGA things.
Most people will just stop buying dvds from now on and buy all the new releases on blu ray. That's what I've done so far. Don't most blu ray players upscale dvds? So I don't really need to replace my collection.
_____________________________________
All the new releases? Yeah, last time I was in a Wal-Mart all the Blu-Ray releases were jammed into a tiny cardboard display in the middle of an aisle in the electronics section. DVD had, I believe, four aisles to itself. With selection like that, and basically no TV shows being offered on Blu-ray in any stores I've been in, people will have trouble enough finding Blu_Ray releases for quite some time yet. There's a tiny little retard section in the "Movie Gallery" here too, where you can rent six or seven recent Sony movies on Blu-Ray. It's where they used to place posters, by the exit door.
It's like telling someone your car's wicked just because it has good speakers.

It's like letting someone beat off but then suddenly stopping them.
It's like going on holiday to China only to get murdered.
Strangely enough, my old launch day 360 hasn't broken yet. Is it a bad thing that no one believes me?
No ta, I'll just download stuff off the interweb, or buy a pirate copy off some guy in a pub.
I prefer my media player to be spelt properly anyway.
Amazon PS3 £280
Amazon Samsung BD-P1500/XEU - Blu Ray Disc Player £196
Of course you get a 'Games' console with the PS3, but it kinda shits on the people buying it for blu ray excuse now.
Apparantly according to Stringer the Wii is a expensive niche. It's lack of full internet and Blu-Ray are a problem.
Aye, it's really not selling at all
True, but for those that haven't moved on from the last gen yet and want a next gen console AND a blu ray player: 360 + blu ray player = more expensive than a ps3...

Okay, I'll play your game of "let's pretend Blu-Ray is something it is a good idea to invest some money into, and isn't actually doomed to fail:"
And if they wait until Blu-Ray may actually have enough movies and TV shows on the market to make that worthwhile, a Blu-Ray player will cost approximately 12 cents.
I gave a DVD player away to a passer-by on my way to tossing it in the trash the other day. True story. See, I had a newer, better one that cost $29.99 on sale. I'd have kept it for the bedroom, but there's already another decent one in there that I also got for about $30. By the time Blu-Ray could (in your imaginary world) reach the success of DVD, it will be similarly priced (i.e. it will cost next to nothing to get a player that is way better than the outdated and gigantic one in your PS3). People will all gather around to point and laugh at your ancient Blu-Ray player, and they will buy one for a 50th the price that will make yours look like ass. Your PS3 still won't have any games, and your Blu-Ray player will be gay. That will certainly prove to have been worth several hundreds of dollars a couple years earlier. Meanwhile everyone with a 360 will have a bazillion games, netflicks movies, and a 12 cent Blu-Ray player in every room of the house.
LOL, grow a brain lmaonoob, your name surelly reflects you.
I'm telling you you've turned into microsoft fanboys, the lot of ya!
