PS3 questions

Re: PS3 questions

their newest hardware revision released in july 07 prevents RROD and reduces failure rate to 3%. things are fine now...

I know someone that has gone through three Xbox 360 elites that were manufactured since July 07 and I still see reports of others having major issues and RROD as well. Open up one of those boxes and you'll see why there are so many problems.

Re: PS3 questions

Is it possible to leave my thread up to general questions and leave the nerdish discussion Xbox OMG OMG vs. PS3 RoXor RoXor out? Make a separate thread if you wanna discuss who has the bigger and better one. Then I can at least skip it because I am satisfied with my PS3 for what I need.

Shut up, Herman. Bend over and let me call you mommy.

One more thing... does anyone have their PS3 connected to a 120Hz flat panel TV? Do you notice a difference? I'm asking because I am getting a new television for the bedroom soon and the two models I'm looking at have 120Hz refresh rates and from what I've seen, I really like how the movies look on them.

That is open for debate. It's really preference. You'll see things move a lot "smoother" but for some eyes, it seems more like a trick and very odd. When I first started checking them out, it was really "odd" but after going to the shops and checking them out more often, I am one that likes this feature. If you get a chance, hit up a shop and go watch them for a while. It's a total eye catcher at first.

i meant ur reasoning behind the ...."ps3 sucks ball", in which you didnt give any.

what the hell are you smoking my little padawan? I gave you too many reasons why the PS3 isn't what sony promised.

probably aren't the ones I'm talking about...and your friend either has really bad, like bad luck or he has no social life whatsoever.

Re: PS3 questions

Some of these systems have broken within hours of operation. The one I had, it lasted maybe five weeks and we put about 15 to 20 hours of playtime on it and then it died. Don't worry. It's not like I'd value your statements on here. I stay away from the poor neighborhoods, as well. Keep on keeping on...

Kojima: 'Metal Gear not possible on Xbox'

27 August 2008 1:59 AM, PDT | From Digitalspy | See recent digitalspy news
The creator of Metal Gear Solid series has revealed the latest title in the franchise is "probably not possible" on the Xbox 360. Hideo Kojima, who said he is regularly asked if Metal Gear Solid 4 will be released on Microsoft's console, said: "because MGS4 was optimised for the PS3, it is probably not possible". The Japanese games designer added that his future creations may be multi-format if the technology is up to it. "If (more)

beanz I have a 120 Hz TV but do not have a PS3 but normal HiDef movie watching is incredibly better, BUT if you're in the market for a new tv and not in a rush to get it, I'd wait it out a few months. 200 Mhz refresh rates are on their way.

Re: PS3 questions

I'm not in a rush as I don't "need" the new tv but have had my eye on the Samsung LN46A650 because I really like that picture and it's finally dropped to $1550 in the stores. That's a decent price for a good quality set. I haven't followed up on the 200Hz sets at all. I'd wonder just how crazy that would look.

Re: PS3 questions

I just did some reading up on 200Hz technology and I'm not waiting around for it. That's for the foreign (outside of US) markets as they will be developing 240Hz for the US market. That makes plenty of sense as the standard in PAL region is 50Hz which goes to 100Hz and then 200Hz and here in the US it's NTSC at 60Hz, now 120Hz is available and next step will be 240Hz. I think I may finally cave in and get that Sammy 46" for the bedroom this weekend. We'll see.

And back to the original topic, my PS3s are still running strong.

Thanks for the input. I don't like that the 7 series doesn't swivel and I don't need the extra features in that one so I'm going to go with a 6 series as I'm not going to mount this one on the wall. It will fit perfectly on the dresser across from our bed.
