Heheh yeah.

I thought about it, but I [I]really[/I] wanted to play Zelda after reading all the reviews and watching all the videos. Damn media.

PS3 is a huge waste of money, and here's why:
They cost tons of money because of all the money spent developing top of the line capability hardware.

The problem is, no software is currently out to utilize these amazing capabilities, so it will take awhile for the software to fully utilize the system.

In the meantime, a machine that performs the same will be released for half the price easily competing with the PS3. Thus the PS3 will begin to come obsolete and a PS4 will have to be designed.

For instance, I could probably go play a PS2 for less than 50 right now. Is the PS3 12 times better? Maybe, but not when half of the capabilities won't be utilized for years, and once they are, other consoles will have integrated them.

A refurbished ps2 costs 100 dollars at the list. Believe me, I just bought one. I searched a few weeks for deals, too.

I don't have the mexican underground connections, though.

Ps3 can't use it's full potential right now...no. But really it took a game like FFX, which came out a full year or two after the ps2 came out for some to really utilize the system's potential.

And even with 1/3 or 3/4 of the potential of the ps3, it'd be way better than anything the other two systems have to offer.

What are you talking about with the "machine that costs half the price" thing?

YOu might've tried ebay =)

Well, it is better in certain aspects, and worse in others. The gyroscopes in PS3 were more of an afterthought whiel with the Wii they were a primary development.

But the thing is PS3 ius stocked full of the technology of the future, and most of it won't be usable commercially for some time. And any given game won't use nearly all of it.

The half price thing is a simple market standard. Technology drops about 1/2 price in the first 18 months after development. I forget the name of that law :-\

I needed a new ps2 because the drives that played disks in mine literally stopped working. I'm not going to buy an old crappy ps2 on ebay and get the same problem.

I bet you there are refurbs on ebay too...

Why would they have a ps2 refurbished and then sell it for significantly less than 100$?

Plus I got a 3 year warranty. Which is useless, but cool.

[QUOTE=BridgeToSolace;13661605]Mark my words, the Wii will be mediocre.

A ton of crappy third party games that wont implement their new gimmick well, but everyone will love it because it'll have a Zelda and Mario game.[/QUOTE]


Yeah I hate companies that put out amazing games. Pretty stupid if you ask me!

A. Because it's Ebay.
B. Because everyone wants a PS3 now. Demand is dried up. Economics.

Joel: Plz go defend my latin music in the post-emo thread :(

hehehe, you'll see.

PS3s on Ebay have gone down in price significantly. Only about 2x the price instead of 5+x

No Joel, dont take anyones sides, theyre all snobby and talking about how their music is better, and neither is giving much solid evidence because there isnt actually any evidence because its all subjective anyways.

Not it's not.

You're an idiot and I hate you.

I wasn't asking him to take my side, per se. Just affirm that Latin music isn't something no one else listens to, because I know he listens to some.

Oh.

Well yes, other people listen to latin music.

INCREASE THE PEACE is spreading like wildfire.

Indeed.

I don't need anyone to confirm to me that I listen to better music than them. I already know it :-* ;)

It is. Only in here though. I want to see some pit spreading.

I'm getting off line.

Night fools.

But family arrives Wednesday, yay.

we sistas gurrrrllll

*h5*

Anyone got the new Wii? It's sold out everywhere I go and they arent restocking for another week. :(

Oh no, not a whole week... *rolleyes*

refl@ the review posted for Brand New giving it a five. Yay fanboys.

justin has the wii

thats why the review section of this site is terrible

generally people reviw things they either love or hate

so they give it really low or too high

when really it deserves neither

That's why I rarely rate albums at any site I visit.

Saw Panic!, Jack's Mannequin and Plain White T's last night, awesome.

Nice Chris.

And yes I do have el Wii.

I'm gonna pull it out once the parentals are out since Asian parents don't like video games on weekdays.

Chris: Since when do you actually like Pop Punk?

I haven't listened to Panic! in awhile.

Or a lot of pop-punk in general. I should.

I've been listening to new Brand New for the past few weeks.
