I know you can get good consoles second hand but ive found it better to just dish out the extra cash even if its just for the warranty. the PS3 is supposedly better than almost any supercomputer. but who knows it could be a dud.


Ah, I see wht you mean. I would also pay out the extra cash for a new console (if I could afford it)
As for the PS3, it could be better (tecnologically) but at the end of the day i'm a Nintendo fan boy :) and most probably end up getting the Revolution.

Its kind of hard for me to "dish out" the extra cash when i hardly have enough for a used one. And i doubt i will eer buy a PS2 or a PS 3. If i ever get my hands on 500 spare $, i wont spend it on a product made by sony.

I don't like Sony either. I'm not saying they don't make good games or anything, but I just don't like them. (don't want to get into it)

Fair play, I think it's safe to say many users of this site like newer games as well (maybe not the PS2)
As for me, I don't particually like sony (gaming wise) but I won't get into it. I suppose the CD players and heaphones are good though.

Let's think way back...

Back when Sony first started exporting products to North America...

What market were they in?

Sony has always made cheap products for the average consumer. They were successful in the early days because they balanced price, with quality, Not the best products out there, but considering the price, they were acceptable.

Let's flash forward to now...

Sony products cost an arm and TWO legs, but guess what fanboys...

The quality has fallen from when they were affordable. Now they rely on the name they made for themselves in the past.

Let's just look at the game consoles alone...

PS1: overheats, and needs to be played upside-down

PS2: DISC READ ERROR, everyone that had one in the early days should understand that.

PS2 slim: Overheats when playing very graphically stressing games.

PSP: Square button, dead pixels, UMD popping out of the console. (most issues seem remedied, but I still don't like the idea of a disc in a portable)

In closing, No, Sony is not THE BEST at anything... they produce cheap consumer electronics, and charge a whole lot for them because they know retarded fanboys will buy it for the name alone.

and ps3 is going to be $500 US but it will be worth it.


$500 would be suicide for sony lol. Pretty much every console launched over 299 has failed (3do, saturn, neo geo). I think the price of the ps3 will be set by what the xbox 360 comes out as.

Like the PS2? did it fail?

Also, the Saturn was quite a success in Japan, and would have been more-so here as well, if not for that dumbass Bernie Stolar... "RPGs won't sell in the american market" "Americans want 3D games!" Yes, he is responsibe for Sega failing...

Also, I wouldn't consider the Neo Geo a failure at all... Unless of course you can name another console that has had a 13 year run... and still has a very loyal following.

I don't think the PS3 will fail (as much as I wish it would...) fanboys will buy the PS3 because of that completely bogus KillZone trailer that was shown at E3. I say it's Bogus because nVidia even came out and said that Sony didn't have their graphics chip at that time. so that was entirely pre-rendered, as was everything else shown at E3 from Sony.

Yes, i did just get owned pretty bad :oops: , but i was talking about in America where ps2 was launched for 299. Also, one of the reasons saturn didn't sell very well here was because it was 399 while the ps1 was 299. And you are correct neo geo wasn't a faliure just super expensive.

Yeah, thats because they are focused on GAMING. and some people complain that gamecube doesnt play DVD's or CD's, But compare the loading time on gamecube, compared to the PS2's loading time. Just as luke said, there will always be the fanboys buying the sony products so the can buy grand theft auto games and run around a murder people for no reason, eventually turning them into a phsycopathic murderer. :lol:
