01 Feb 2006 07:06 | Webmaster | Playstation 3 PS3Today.com | Link to this article 
According to several developers who have spoken to The Official Playstation Magazine, Sony is working on a unified online service much like Microsoft ‘s highly successful Xbox Live. The article claims that U.S. developers have received final PS3 development kits and they have already met with Sony in order to make their games compatible with the new online service.
“Sony is dead serious about it” a developer who wants to remain anonymous told PSM. “They’ve declared a ‘full assault’ on the latest version of Xbox Live. They are committed to matching Xbox Live feature for feature and then some” If the PSM article is to be believed, not only will this new online service be forPS3 games, but also include PSP as well as other home entertainment activities. “Think one, big PlayStation network”.

Wow, serious and bold stuff for Sony!Unregistered - xboxjunky 02.01.2006 07:19 Wow, I guess Sony is really getting geared up to launch an all out entertainment network. They are so determine to offer the best level of excitement and enjoyment this time around until they have actually gotten serious about a unified online system which is going against their initial word of "no unified online network". If you are a sony fan, you have to be overwelmed by the fun that is yet to com. Now this thing is really boiling my grits to scrap my xbox for sony. Psyche!!, most likely will own both systems. 2 -

ConvertedDaReaIXbugTerminator 02.01.2006 07:52 I know I've said a million and one times the PS3 is superior to the XBOX360, but recently I've done some studying on the 2 systems and it seems that the 360 is better than the PS3. Besides being technically superior in almost every way the 360 also has a far larger customer base than does the PS3 where it comes to LIVE and online play, and only a moron would argue that. Also, if you really take a good look at PS3 games and Xbox360 games, you'll see that the 360 is really nexgen compared to the PS3's boring titles, but instead every body should stop calling the 360 an Xbox 1.5 of sorts. As of this weekend I have preordered the 360 cause I am really sick of the crappy PC and PS2 graphics. And am patiently waiting for PS3 to flop. I'm strongly advising you, the PS3 is not really what you think it will be. A good advice from a converted Sony fanboy to M$ lover and fanboy: -Sony fanboys u should follow my step in being more open-minded coz I discovered that PS3 is overhyped and wont achieve the hype for the following reasons: 1-we Sony fanboys just will wait till the finally release real info about the ps3 and we're gonna be sooo fcuked off. 2-no hard drive (what's all that about???) 3-deep down you know the games won't look like those well executed cinematics from killzone and metal gear. 4-the cell will seriously underperforms(I remember when we were getting all excited about the frikkin Emotion Engine...! didn't Sony say that was gonna revolutionize the way we play games . And be the death knell for pc games? Oh how we(yes and I)Salivated about the E, E. and what was the end result ... nada, sh1t, diddely squat). 5-X360 is roughly 2x more powerful than PS3,its graphics chip is based on the R600 which isn't even out yet, its also got 3 cores as opposed to 1 on the PS3, 3= better than 1 right? I was dumb ass PS3 fan, I know 360 is going to win this next gen, so I made up stuff to make it sound better, I was a looser. 6-Bill Gates is much richer than Sony, and I discovered that he really cares a lot for us gamers as he announced an optional HD-DVD drive that would be so damn great(I love you so much Mr. Bill Gates). 7-Halo 3, Yup this game would be the best thing on earth, and KillZone really sux balls. 8-I don't understand why so many people anticipate the ps3 to that degree. When Sony hasn't given any concrete ingame play demonstrations. Killzone and MGS4 is a hurdle Sony has made for themselves to try to meet by that time. I don't know when killzone is planned but if it is at ps3 launch than they won't meet that standard. They'll be slightly under and you'll say well its close enough. MGS4 is what 2009 or something.You've got to be kidding me when you say that those graphics are what to expect. YOU DON'T KNOW WHAT TO EXPECT... ALL WE HAVE IS SONY'S HYPE. 9-ATI rep. said that PS3 isn't refined. 10-XBOX360 got the LIVE service while I'm sick of Sony's fake online plans. 11-Blu-Ray costs alot,and Sony already losing exclusives to the 360 (Resident Evil 5, Final Fantasy, The Getaway, Soul Calibur, MK, VF5, GTA, Condemned, Dead or Alive was originally on the Sony platforms, and much much more). 12-Kojima confessed that the 360 is capable of doing much better stuff in MGS4 than the PS3 (we all Sony fanboys respect what this developer says and believe him). 13-All respected developers says that 360 is easier as hell to develop for than the PS3 which means most exclusives would be done on my new beloved console the 360, also notice that multiplatform games would be first developed for the 360 then ported to the PS3,, which means the same game would be more expensive on PS3. Man I really can't believe how fool I really was being a Sony fanboy, this company do nothings more than lying on us, so I am sick and tired of them damn them, I don't want to wait for like 2 more years for an over-hyped console.. SO M$ U GOT A NEW FRESH FANBOY OF YOUR PRODUCTS ESPECIALLY THAT HOT 360... YUP CAN'T WAIT!!! And PS3 fanboys just do what I have already done. 6 -

Unregistered - Chainblade 02.01.2006 08:08 Sweet! PS3 LIVE, in your face Bill! Sony have had all time in the world making it good. But, even if it flops, you've still got 2teraflops left :P lol 9 -
HaDmac 02.01.2006 08:10 Oh Boy, Look at all the xbots in here talking sh1t. Sounds like their getting a little bit scared. This is very good news for the PS3! Sounds like the Xbox360 might meet the same fate the dreamcast has. 10 -
retardUnregistered - fu2 02.01.2006 08:12 hey DaReaIXbugTerminator, what a groovy name you have (dork) anyways don't sit there and tell everyone what you have no idea about. ps3 hasn't even launched yet and already ur saying ur homo f@gBox is far superior. get over urself and ur loyalty to billy boy and just chill out for a few till the ps3 comes out, then if it "flops" like u think it will then u can come here and talk all the smack u want...not that anyone will be on here to read ur opinions. i think ur way off base though, ps3 will kick @$$ and f@gbox will have to settle for number two..hell even nintendo might knock them down to three, u never can tell. 11 -
Unregistered - sweet 02.01.2006 08:26 hey DaReaIXbugTerminator Wasn't the Emotion Engine good? Burnout Revenge, Black...Do you know anything about games at all? 2tflops vs 1tflop. I've said it a million times by now because I don't think that you can compare thoose systems by lookin at the spec. They are so different! Just think about it. Would sony release a more expensive and weaker system one year later than the 360? Come on, get real! 12 -

turkmen117 02.01.2006 08:46 cant all of you take knowledge of jamo ward? (number 4) he is a xbox 360 fan (doesnt have to mean he is a fanboy) and hopes the best for us because he thinks an unified online service is really funny. so all fanboys take him as an example when making posts. yes the hype is building and people keep hoping for more and more, if they dont hold their promise they will lose alot of fans so why would they lie? PS. whare is "BillGatesSucks" ? i always read his posts.... 17 -
Disinformation is a terrible thing...Unregistered - Common Sense 02.01.2006 08:46 >>>1-we Sony fanboys just will wait till the finally release real info about the ps3 and we're gonna be sooo fcuked off. That's not a reason, that's opinion, lol >>>2-no hard drive (what's all that about???) No HDD on the core X360's either. The Developers have to make things for the lowest common denominator, so what's your point exactly? >>>3-deep down you know the games won't look like those well executed cinematics from killzone and metal gear. Actually, I do. Because when they showed trailers for the MGS1 it didn't look anything like the original game... the game looked a lot better. WHen they showed the trailer for MGS2, everyone was wowed with the graphics... and the game itself looked better. MGS3? Same thing. Why would this change for the 4th game? Wishful thinking. >>>4-the cell will seriously underperforms(I remember when we were getting all excited about the frikkin Emotion Engine...! didn't Sony say that was gonna revolutionize the way we play games . And be the death knell for pc games? Oh how we(yes and I)Salivated about the E, E. and what was the end result ... nada, sh1t, diddely squat). Difference being, the EE isn't being used in other designs, ranging from cellphones to servers. >>>5-X360 is roughly 2x more powerful than PS3,its graphics chip is based on the R600 which isn't even out yet, its also got 3 cores as opposed to 1 on the PS3, 3= better than 1 right? I was dumb ass PS3 fan, I know 360 is going to win this next gen, so I made up stuff to make it sound better, I was a looser. You really need to bone-up. The Xenos processor is the R500, which is basically a proprietary design. By the "3 is better than one" argument, that would mean cell is better than the ppc in the 360, 3 vs 8? There's much much much more to the argument. >>>6-Bill Gates is much richer than Sony, and I discovered that he really cares a lot for us gamers as he announced an optional HD-DVD drive that would be so damn great(I love you so much Mr. Bill Gates). Bzzzt, wrong. The only reason Bill Gates even is selling the X-Box is because consoles are nipping at the heels of a general usage PC. Think about it, most people use a PC for word processing, web surfing, and games. Only a small percentage have high-performance overclocked gaming rigs. What with Windows Vista on the Horizon, and the possibility that many people will drop the Windows (you think the sony DRM rootkit was bad? this is worse). Until now, nobody could offer a decent alternative, that is, until PS3 HDD's start shipping with Linux. Guess what people might see as an alternative for Windows after buying a PS3? Do you know how much MS profits would slump? >>>7-Halo 3, Yup this game would be the best thing on earth, and KillZone really sux balls. So you're basing your entire argument on a single FPS (and a rather lackluster series at that). I mean, sure, it was great on the XBox, but as someone who has played FPS's on the PC since DOOM... it was too formulaic and cookie-cutter. That being said, the current Killzone games are a lot more innovative than Halo ever was, and I'm certainly looking forward to the game. >>>8-I don't understand why so many people anticipate the ps3 to that degree. When Sony hasn't given any concrete ingame play demonstrations. Killzone and MGS4 is a hurdle Sony has made for themselves to try to meet by that time. I don't know when killzone is planned but if it is at ps3 launch than they won't meet that standard. They'll be slightly under and you'll say well its close enough. MGS4 is what 2009 or something.You've got to be kidding me when you say that those graphics are what to expect. YOU DON'T KNOW WHAT TO EXPECT... ALL WE HAVE IS SONY'S HYPE. You're forgetting about Unreal Tournament 2007. The game which has next-gen graphics, and looks just as good as the current versions running on $3000+ gaming rigs. The game that PSM sat down and actually played, completely unoptimized at 49FPS. Lets just skip over that... >>>9-ATI rep. said that PS3 isn't refined. Actually, he said the RSX gpu was unrefined... I'm still wondering how he even got a hold of an RSX, LOL. >>>10-XBOX360 got the LIVE service while I'm sick of Sony's fake online plans. See recent PSM story. >>>11-Blu-Ray costs alot,and Sony already losing exclusives to the 360 (Resident Evil 5, Final Fantasy, The Getaway, Soul Calibur, MK, VF5, GTA, Condemned, Dead or Alive was originally on the Sony platforms, and much much more). Errrrm, that's a bit of a twist. RE5 was always multiplatform, Final Fantasy is still pretty much Sony Exclusive, sans XI, which the 360 apparently gets (and its not exactly the best game at this point). >>>12-Kojima confessed that the 360 is capable of doing much better stuff in MGS4 than the PS3 (we all Sony fanboys respect what this developer says and believe him). Have a quote? Because I seem to remember him saying that he could make MGS4 for 360. That's quite different from saying the 360 is much better... You're not just pulling this stuff out of thin air are you? >>>13-All respected developers says that 360 is easier as hell to develop for than the PS3 which means most exclusives would be done on my new beloved console the 360, also notice that multiplatform games would be first developed for the 360 then ported to the PS3,, which means the same game would be more expensive on PS3. Care to name the developers which have said the 360 is easier to develop for? Also, its not entirely true, especially since Sony has the biggest userbase, and consequently could make a developer more money. >>>Man I really can't believe how fool I really was being a Sony fanboy, this company do nothings more than lying on us, so I am sick and tired of them damn them, I don't want to wait for like 2 more years for an over-hyped console.. SO M$ U GOT A NEW FRESH FANBOY OF YOUR PRODUCTS ESPECIALLY THAT HOT 360... Congrats, you went from a Sony fanboy to a MS fanboy. You're still a fanboy, ROFL. 18 -
360 n ps3Unregistered - lardface 02.01.2006 08:48 someone mentioned da 360 is better than da ps3 in everyway after doin some research. Like where was he looking? That is impossible. Was he being sarcastic cause please god tell me that he is. Microsoft can't perfect Windows let along xbox. Windows has an excuse as they are a monopoly but the first xbox was such a flop. As for more sales on a 360 there was virtually none in Japan. We will wait and see when the ps3 is released which is better oh n by they way. Who cares which is better. Buy and waste your money on game consoles. People who take it too seriously are geeks and low lives with nothing better to do and no social life. Your supposed to buy it for fun. Who cares which one is better. If you want your money worth though you test out the consoles when they are released and see which one you like better. 19 -
PS3 + PSP + ONLINE = AWESOMEUnregistered - Xbox sux coX 02.01.2006 08:50 Sony's online service will definatly be a good thing for PS3, imagine the possbilities with the PSP and PS3 online connection... should be awesome!!

Some people are Ghey' Some people like Sex... Some people like Crack Some people are Smart... Some people are Stupid Some people like PS3... Some people like Xbox 360 Dont be an XBOY!! 20 -
F-cking retarded XbotsDark Samurai 02.01.2006 09:02 Just look at the Xbox site and you don't see even one Sony fan there. It's like a deserted area. You know why? Because no one gives a damn about Xflop 1.5, everyone is waiting for the Playstation 3 and the real next generation. These retards continue to come here and post their worthless crap even before Sony fans. this alone shows how much they're afraid. Xflop is soooooooo good that you have to beg people : please buy it, i swear to god that it's better than PS3!!! LOL!! Face it cry babies, Billy is going to get screwed again badly!!! 21 -
Hold up guys...Unregistered - Fito 02.01.2006 09:09 Alright, maybe you didn't catch that guys drift, but I think that he was being sarcastic. Either that or he just is that dumb. Either way, both consoles are going to have their strengths and weaknesses so just stop griping about which ones going to be better. 22 -
poor XbotsDark Samurai 02.01.2006 09:11 And they seem to have lost their Ace Card: online service. Though I'm against a unified service but I'm sure that PS3 Live will own that Crappy Xbot Live. SONY FOREVER!!!!!!!!! 23 -
STILL WAITING ON SONY PROMISES!!!!Unregistered - QuietMan69 02.01.2006 09:12 "...the most significant aspect of the PS2 might be its ability to hook into the Internet, making it a "Trojan horse" to bring online gaming, e-commerce, Web browsing, e-mail and downloading of music, software and video into the home. In 2001, Sony will sell a combination high-speed Internet connector and hard-disk drive that is geared solely for high-speed connections. Previous attempts to merge the Net with game consoles have flopped, but Sony thinks it can buck the trend. "You can communicate to a new cybercity," gushes Ken Kutaragi, the visionary behind the PlayStation. "This will be the ideal home server. Did you see the movie 'The Matrix'? Same interface. Same concept. Starting from next year, you can jack into The Matrix!" I'm still waiting Wow who knew he ment 2007, "I'm all set to Jack-in" (LMAO) Cannot see how this guy gets away with this crap!! Huge Promises and under deviver each time.... Xbob live for me is this Halo2 (sniping games with my european mates, team slayer with my friends ia CA, all with out any lag) can't beat that 24 -
turkmen117 02.01.2006 09:29 but now they have to cempete with xbox 360, not with the dreamcast lol 25 -

Ur a nut caseUnregistered - Sevir 02.01.2006 10:32 ok first off u can clearly see that u have fallen of a cliff somewhere... for u to just blaspheme sony like that... no facts what so ever.... really the Xflop isn't even worth the time... all it has online... like what every devoloper out there has been saying... because it is the only console that has unified games on one net work... thats really all it has going for it... every devoloper out there say that the ps3 has more horse the the xflop... 2 twice as much... and Note kojima-san said the xflop can handle MGS4 not more powerfull and if ur saying that as ur defence...practically all games the original xbox did both the ps2 and GC handled so what kojima-san was saying aint much... and xflop getting more key devolopers on there side, shoot... they need it. because aparently all they had was FPS most of which sucked anyway... they realized that if they were to even have the slightest chance of staying in at least second place, they'd have to get japanese developers... so they got Final fantasy XI..... wow..... big deal as far as thats concern Square never justified that they'd make that franchise multiplatform.... so if u thing thats FFXIII and up will come to the 360 i highly doubt it... all this means is that u guys got a port from a PS2 and pc game that came years ago... i mean why in the hell did it take u guys soo long to realize that u need jap developers and even now that u have them ur not doing to well there... as a matter of fact Xflop totally undersold the firsst Xbox... hm... and u say ur better... too bad the world doesn't agree with u... u can keep DOA beacause that game sucks @$$... characters and graphics look like they did on the current gen... pitty full.... u guys really only have one game carrying the system and u urself knows it...

bloop 02.01.2006 10:39 Theres a lot more Sony fans than there is MS fans, believe me. And sales figures prove it with PS2 outselling xbox 5-1.

Microsoft loves it's gamers yea right .. if they did they would have had more 360s out to greet everyone and they would have had no faults... figure u have all that money and u for get to go through beta test before u launch a "nextGen" console.... now ur spending months later sending patch downloads to people so they can fix the bugs u overlooked because u had to rush out before sony... nice really nice... i'm out 30 -
RavenSlayer 117 02.01.2006 10:51 The only reason that DaRealXbugterminator switched sides is because he saw the light of the 360. HAHA but who cares you ps3 fans have your ps3, and us 360 fans have our 360. As for online service i think that it would rock for ps3 and 360 fans to play each other. And most of you know that it would be fun. Really don't know much about Sony's online service nor do i care my 360 rocks and until the ps3 comes out at least i can play a next gen. As for online on my 360 i really don't have the time to set it up so that sucks maybe on the weekend sometime. P.S. DaRealXbugterminator now that your a fan of the 360 i'll gladly fight by your side on Halo..... HALO 3 RULES!!! 31 -
Unregistered - Mal Reynolds 02.01.2006 10:59 Ok, lets take an unbiased opinion on this whole matter. So the Xbox has Xbox Live, and now the PS3 is getting a similar service. Who cares! Who cares if I can use the same user tag for all of my games, and have some database keep track of all my win-loss records in different games. This is stupid. Xbox Live is nothing to get crazy over (I know because I've used it before), and I'm sure the PS3 Live equivilent will be the same way. If Xbox Live is the 360's main selling point...they've got issues. I own both a PS2 and original Xbox, and both are nice. However, I will say that this time around I am definately more excited for the PS3. I don't know if it is Sony's marketing, or if the PS3 just looks like it has more appealing games. As a side note to over half the people posting on this website...TAKE A FREAKING ENGLISH CLASS. YOU ALL SOUND LIKE A BUNCH OF DAMN MORONS. IF I HEARD ANY OF YOU TALKING THE WAY YOU TYPE...I'D HAVE YOU COMMITED TO AN INSANE ASSYLUM (that is if president Reagan hadn't closed most of them down back in the 80's). And another side note, how can you talk crap about something that hasn't even come out yet. That would be like everyone talking crap about hover cars. Oh man, hover cars are so inferior to regular cars...how stupid does that sound? Nobody knows what the PS3 is going to deliver exactly, so how can you be so sure that it is going to suck? We know that the Xbox 360 is so-so because it is already out in stores, nobody has even played a PS3 or Revolution, so nobody can say if they are amazing, or pieces of crap. 32 -

I like itUnregistered - ScoobyDoo 02.01.2006 11:22 As an XBox fanboy, I thoroughly welcome it. After seeing how well MS has done with Live with no competition, PSLive (please come up with something original as a name) will only serve to push the experience to new levels. Imagine, Microsoft and Sony both trying to get our attention for the online experience. We should see some really compelling content in the next couple of years. If nothing else, it ups the ante for Microsoft. Both can survive in this environment and we can all win. I can't undertand the 'loyalty' to one platform or the other. Whichever gives me what I want, today, gets my money. So far, XBox has been the leader, if PS3 can leapfrog them, I'll own both. 34 -

PS3 "LIVE" inevitableUnregistered - Akakage 02.01.2006 11:51 this past-generation Sony experienced a little (very little) success with their online game(s)..Socom, EA sports titles, ATV off road fury and Killzone (mostly Socom) while Msoft overwhelming success with their xbox live. It was monitored, regulated and optimized offering the best online game experience on a console. With over 2 million xbox live subscribers, msoft had to be doing something right. Its to be expected that sony is going to try create an online service that could (potentially rival) xbox live. Some of the things they have been talking about such as online storage/memory is pretty cool..I'm not sure how well it will work..but cool. It is ridiculous to believe that this service will be free. If they want to put out something that will rival, if not surpass xbox live its gonna cost alot of money for them to do so. And of course more cost to them means more cost to us as consumers. I wouldn't be surprised if they charge 39.99 a year for a subscription..but then have other fees in place to make up the difference. There is gonna be a fee for online storage and they'll probably do streaming movies (Msoft has hinted at this too). It will be interesting to see what plans sony has when they officially announce this and explain it in detail. But this isn't necessarily new news..as we all kind of knew this was gonna happen. 37 -
PS3Havoc 02.01.2006 12:06 Now the only thing xbox fanboys can brag about is Halo 3 wich is really the only reason I will get a 36o. This is very good news for Sony, it shows that they ready to challenge xbox live and make it even better. 38 -

MS or SonyUnregistered - Jason 02.01.2006 12:19 Its really kind of funny seeing you all fight over this. Personally I'm an xbox guy but I don't doubt Sony's new system. From a tech stand point both systems are light years from there predecessor and are capable of down right amazing graphics but I do believe the 360 has the edge and not because I prefer xbox over playstation but because the 360 was made with more general purpose processing power where as the PS3 has more custom power which is harder to tap. Most game makers want ease as apposed to having to write there game to send certain instructions to certain areas of the processor which the PS3 makes you do. As for online… I hope Sony does make this happen as it will benefit us all to have competition however Sony will not blow MS out of the water for main reason... Experience! Microsoft is an online company and has the know-how and the systems to back it up. Sony hasn't really gone into online gaming before where you have a paying customer base that expects it to work right all the time. Sony will have an uphill challenge to meet MS on a level playing field but with time I believe Sony could do it if they listen to the customer and not over promise which Sony has a habit of doing though to be fair MS has a habit of making software that doesn't work correctly and has to be patched 500 times and then still doesn't work right. All in all, both systems are cool as hell and will change the video game industry. 40 -
Whats the reasoning?Alexander 02.01.2006 12:24 Someone said earlier that xbox 360 forums are empty, what ones do you go on and surely the fact your going there means there not empty and disallowes you to moan at xbox 'fanboys' coming here? I have seen alot of ps3 fanboys on 360 sites, they usually sign up (from the launch to about now) and moan that there xbox 360 doesnt work, has burnt there house down etc. Its so obvious, why would you bother signing up on a forum just tocomplain about your console? Best thing is if you ask for a pictureof their setup they never reply or send fake ones. Im guessing that all the fanboys here come here to see if theres any new news, thats what I do anyway, I wanna seeif theres anything interesting going on. 41 -

Were too Busy!!Unregistered - mutt 02.01.2006 12:58 360 forums are empty because we are all busy playing our consoles, PS3 forums are full because you are all waiting for yours to arrive. I own a 360, and will own a PS3 and probably get the revolution last. The dual screens for the PS3 sold me. But really guys come on, you know why 360's aren't in the forums: Were actually playing these games, not watching reruns of a killzone trailer. O.K. I am guilty of watching reruns of that Motorstorm trailer, can't wait. 45 -
hahaUnregistered - hoosiredaddy 02.01.2006 13:01 "WERE DEAD SERIOUS" lol thats funny, but i hope that they do end up somewhat making a challenge with MS in the online area but i dont think they will beat them though 46 -
Unregistered - wotter 02.01.2006 13:25 They don't have to beat live, they just have to get a system up and running that is decent and has the most important stuff, like a buddy list. Did they say anything about beating? Btw, they started this when the ps2 network adapter came out, so telling me that nothing will come is stupid. 47 -

sorry xbugs Unregistered - code_x 02.01.2006 14:30 The PS3 is more powerful in every aspect related to games. Most every developer agrees.

Let's not forget Blu-ray will end load times...screw you X-bugs I'm going home! 54 -

I know the truthUnregistered - Ultimate Gamer 02.01.2006 14:37 The truth is............PS3 will OWN the 3sh**sy! Idiot X Box fans! They're so scared that they have to try to post doubts abut the PS3. As for Halo........part 2 sucked! I'd rather stick to Halo online for PC. X Box 360 is pretty much screwed up Halos. U get SCREWED TOO much. Too many modders that THINK they're good. Sony's PS3 will win the console war. FACT! and I'm a PC gamer! I am going to get the PS3! If i get an x box 360 I'll just sell it and won't even bother opening it! OWNED! Play Station 3 is the superior system! Not my fualt you X Box 360 fan boys are upset because the PS2 ALONE sold more than the 360 in just the holidays ALONE! As well as the PSP ALONE!So basically you can say X Box 360 can stay with PS2! LOL! X Box 360 is not even gonna be in the CATEGORY when PS3 releases. PS3's release= Microsoft's Doom's Day. Get ready to CRY X Box 360 fans! 56 -
PS3 OnlineBillGatesSucks 02.01.2006 14:39 First off I'd like to say kudos to Jamo Ward #4 for his comments. If MS got one thing right with the xbox, it was the live service and Sony now realizes that and is apparently attempting to correct it. I'm not bad mouthing the PS2's online services, I've read a lot of comments here from users who like it just fine, but I think anyone would agree that a unified online service is the better way to go, not only for the gamer but also for Sony (who will now benefit from a more direct control over the entire experience, not to mention make more money from it). There are 10 million online gamers playing SOCOM and 2 million xbl subscribers. Do the math real quick and that means roughly 10% of PS2 and 10% of xbox owners are online (maybe a bit more for PS2 considering SOCOM isn't the only online capable game). 10% isn't much but considering these are the first consoles with any real type of online capabilities, it's not bad. And if you look at the numbers of online gamers on PC over the years, I'm sure the numbers have only been increasing each year. My point is, the number of console gamers are also going to increase, so Sony really has no choice but to have a better online strategy for the PS3 than that of the PS2. I can understand why this news would be so inflammatory; if there was one point xbox fans hammered on over and over it was that of the xbl service. Now that it appears that Sony will be adressing the issue, it seems like the 360 will have no advantages at all over the PS3. I posted this link in a previous thread but I'll post it here as well as the topic is appropriate. http://www.joystiq.com/2006/01/31/sony-declares-full-on-assault-on-xbox-live/ 57 -
HeyUnregistered - Ultimate X Box 360 Fan 02.01.2006 14:46 I agree with Ultimate Gamer. (Even though I'm an X Box 360 fan....) The PS3 will OWN! I've seen what 360s does. And alot of 360s in Best Buy stores are messed up. LOL!! I will wait for the ultimate system The PS3! The PS3 Live will OWN the gaming WORLD!! PS3's release will cause Bill Gates to have a heart attack! LOL! 58 -

To BillGatesSucksSomeone 02.01.2006 14:52 A unified online service which is free, will be better, where instead of chargeing for the service they make money on the content you download, i.e games, movies and music. The web browsing will be great and I will be able to use my current PC mouse/ketboard, just like I could on PS2, so no need to buy another KB/Mouse. I also like the idea of being able to access PS3 anywhere with PSP, because as far as I know, PS3 will be able to record TV programs, so say I forget to set, the PS3 for a program I want to watch, while out at a freinds, I can just pull out my PSP and set it to record the program from their. BTW I dont yet have a PSP, but certainly thinking about getting one this year sometime. This is all exciting stuff, cant wait for PS3. 60 -
cant we get alongUnregistered - 42o 02.01.2006 14:53 Wouldnt it be nice if the 360 and ps3 could live in perfect harmony in the same universe. I mean, its like a gang war. Cant we all just hit a bong and game in peace? 61 -
To Someone #59BillGatesSucks 02.01.2006 15:02 Set your PS3 from your friend's house using your PSP, how cool is that? I agree a free unified service of course would be much better, but that might mean banners and pop ups everywhere. I suppose they could run ads in demos and movie downloads, kind of like trailers at a movie theatre. I've been hearing for a couple years now of developers running ads in game online. So, say there was a GTA online game for the PS3, there could be a situation where you're driving around and see a billboard for Coca Cola because Coke has paid to have it there. The possibilities are huge, from the clothes the character would be wearing to the restaurants he'd eat at, they could all have product placement. 62 -
#58bloop 02.01.2006 15:04 But thats the problem really. Its just not really next gen. I was going to buy a 360 but when i saw it Ill have to say i wasnt that impressed. Its more like a top end pc than next gen. And if I did want one, I could easily just go into town and pick one up off the shelves cause there aint no shortage where Im living, they practically cant get rid of them. I'll wait for PS3 when the real next gen starts. 63 -
To # 60Someone 02.01.2006 15:09 I don't see why we cant get along, but the thing is, not everyone has the same feelings as you, most most if not all Xbox followers like to flame this forum, instead of being civilized and talk about the games and not bash every article that comes up. You seem reasonable though, are you looking forward to PS3? do you have the X360? if so what games have you got and are enjoying at the moment? Peace 64 -
To BillGatesSucksSomeone 02.01.2006 15:24 Yea ads in games would work, especialy now the graphic bar has been raised in games, although that would only support the developer of the game more, to cover their expence's, thats why I say, makeing money on full game downloads, full movies and full music albums through PS3 and makeing money back that way, the same way they do with the reatail version. Say the retail store version is $60 and you pay the same for the download version, Sony will make money, because you dont get the extra cost of the packageing, which is where sony makes money for the online version of the game. Anyway, we'll see soon enough what happens and if it is free I hope we dont get banner ads and popups, that would be awfull. 65 -
to someone # 63Unregistered - 42o 02.01.2006 15:25 Yes i do own a 360 and im looking towards the future for ps3. I own 8 360 games (cod2, condemed, doa4, madden, nfs:mw, pdz, tiger woods, pgr3) and like all of them (with the exception of the horrible multiplayer in cod2, hopefully will be patched soon) I dont hate on ps3 or 360 i just love gaming in general and hope that all future systems and games (regardless of company) just keep getting better and better. 66 -
to # 65Someone 02.01.2006 15:39 NFS most wanted it a pretty good game, wouldn't mind haveing a bash with PDZ, My mate has it, but haven't seen him for a while (he's too busy working) to get the chance to have a go. Kameo doesn't look too bad, especialy the amount of charecter the game has on screen at once, while ploughing through the beasties on your horse. 67 -
To Someone #64BillGatesSucks 02.01.2006 15:40 I agree, banners and pop ups would be horrible. IGN comes to mind, every 3rd (or so) time you change pages a full screen ad pops up - very annoying. I suppose if they decided to charge for the service, it wouldn't scare everyone off. Downloading music, hi def movies and games would certainly gobble up HDD space pretty quickly. Do you mean download it onto a PC HDD via the PS3 thru a USB connection? Then burn it to disk? That would be very handy and Sony for sure would make a lot of cash using that method. Although, downloading a full length 50 gig hi def movie would take forever. I suppose they'd only offer trailers. 68 -
You guys are AWESOME!Unregistered - Ugly American 02.01.2006 15:53 You guys are utterly ridiculous. Really. What are you guys so fired up about? Really.

But I am starting to realize he was right. Rock on, retards. Rock on. 69 -
To BillGatesSucksSomeone 02.01.2006 15:57 That is why Sony are leaving the option of HDD space open to the consumer, Ken says, you will never have enough space, which to me sounds like they intend for the consumer to download hi-def content and for them to include a 1000TBASE ethernet further supports, that Sony think next gen will realy pickup and internet provider prices will drop dramaticaly. I mentioned in another post, my internet speed has increased by 4 times my normal speed at no extra cost, the last update was only moths ago when they did the same thing, internet is getting cheaper and faster, I think Sony sees next gen gameing makeing the internet a more affordable and easier way to buy content, without the hassle of going into a store for your game or movie. 70 -

I thing the last update was in June/july last year, with 2Mb being £50 a month, so as you can see prices are dropping and speeds are invreasing. Also to note, you are not limited to how much your allowed to download in each month, its unlimited download. 74 -

stop getting angry over plastic and metalUnregistered - sean 02.01.2006 17:32 well guys i can see lots of sony fanboys and xbox fanboys. when will both sides learn that your arguing over plastic and metal also if you guys come to sense and see that every single console are great and they both have bad and good points. please stop saying that the xbox 360 or PS3 is more powerful than each other , lets get it straight, in some places the xbox 360 is more powerful but in other places the PS3 is more powerful so in respect they are very powerful machines and both offer potential for great games. halo and killzone are both great games in my view(my view is not right nor is wrong)if your a fanboy, your an idiot anyway so shut up. sony do build up hype alot and most of the things they promise just like MS never really become true, unreal tourement 2007 is not looking that great and i would rather see games like halo 3, killzone 2, half life 3 or half life: aftermath, gears of war, ghost recon so there is my view. opinon is neither right nor wrong its just a view, a fact is something that is right but can be wrong when proven. 77 -

PAUL CERULA 02.01.2006 23:50 Ok folks lets analyze this, 1. Sony officially announces a little while ago in the PSM that there will be NO unified online ---A strange move considering sony's strategy 2. Than Sony puts a couple developer quotes in the psm. ---Why do you ask, is it so hard to figure out Sony and everybody knows sticking with their current online will suffice and be no real burden on their sales. Ok so after officially deny it why would they change their minds. The fact is that Sony isn't going to have unified online at least for the next couple years. ****This little querk of unprovable opinions is just to keep sony fans hoping and hoping until it launches and than you don't care. Job well done for Sony for successfully hyping their console. 84 -

unrelated questionUnregistered - will 02.02.2006 00:25 are there 2 versions of the PS3 coming out the sleek one, and the one in the picture of this post? 87 -
to #5Unregistered - ... 02.02.2006 01:39 1- Sony keeps insisting late spring or early summer. Possibly November. 2- It is actually going to be a very similar set up to the Xbox 360. They will have a premium package with a harddrive, or a budget package with out a hard drive. 3- I think I will trust Hideo Kojima (game developing God) over you, thank you very much. He said it was in-game (and he proved it by a very rare movie that dissected it, and it was running in real time.) As for Killzone, Geurilla has said that they are getting graphics on par with their footage. 4- Actually, the Cell is over-performing. Many analysts don't think the developers will be able to take advantage of it. It actually has 1 main processor and seven assymetrical (better than symmetrical, a la 360) cores. Also, the xbox 360 processor is idle for about 40% of the time as all processors before the cell did. The cell is only idle for 1% of the time. The cell is a supercomputer chip. 5- Actually, developers have a general consensus that the PS3 is considerably more powerful than its counterpart. 6- Woohoo, you have to pay for an additional drive. We get it right out of the box, and guess what, it is on steroids. Analysts are predicting that Blu-ray will be the victor as it has more supporters. (the porn industry namely, which helped VHS beat Betamax greatly.) 7- I am confident that Killzone 2 will be a very good game. I found halo to be quite boring as I am a hardcore gamer. Halo is M$ method of attracting casual gamers. 8- It has given in-game. (even though they are very early on.) Namely, warhawk, lair, i-8, MGS4, and Fight night round 3. 9- Of course he says that. I found it quite funny why he said this. ATI said this is what we can do, no more. Nvidia said we will do everything you ask and more. So ATI is setting limits while Nvidia is trying to achieve wonders. Great mindset there guys. 10- They are confirmed to be real. Quit being so ignorant. 11- None of those games are leaving. You must be really stupid because the Getaway is developed by SONY!!! Actually, Tecmo may even bring over the lackluster series of Dead or alive. I am hoping for Ninja gaiden personally. (they said two titles.) 12- He said it would be possible to do it. He never said it would be better. I think he even said that there would be slight reductions. 13- Developers are learning how to grasp the immense power of the Cell, so now it is getting easier to develop. Granted, Microsoft didn't shoot very far with its processors, so they are naturally easier to develop for. But let's see what those xbox fanboys are saying when PS3 is accomplishing much better graphics later in the competition. (due to better knowledge of hardware.) It is a pity you left. Maybe you should have done more research. I urge everyone to be accepting all systems. Before you do anything rash like the Cro magnon I just argued with, think it through and see which system provided the best memories in the past. Whatever, I am done now. Hurray for fanboys (on all sides) that plagues this site. I salute you with flatulence and a finger raised in the air. 88 -
Come on guys....Unregistered - Fito 02.02.2006 02:08 Seriously, flame wars like this are ruining this site and many others. Arguing what console is better makes absolutely no sense right now as the 360 is too young and the PS3 doesn't even have a release date. Christmas 2007 is when those arguments can start, hopefully without the pointless flaming. Last time I checked almost 50% of Xbox 360 owners are connected to Live and XBLA is turning into one of the console's greatest strengths. It was only a matter of time before Sony announced online plans, but once again, arguing over which online service is better serves no point because we don't know the depth of the PS3's online capabilities. What we should be arguing about is the marketing battle that is raging right now between Microsoft, Sony and Nintendo 89 -
Unregistered - meh 02.02.2006 02:16 #83, thanks serula you put that in perspective i hate these other fools 90 -
#73Unregistered - Jamo Ward 02.02.2006 03:57 Hi just carrying on from the broadband point. 10mb will become the standard quite shorty as soon as BT is can offer 10mb to 98% of the uk population that everyone will have 10mb as standard as long as there local exchange can handle it. there will also be options for 15 and 20 mb, but this isnt what im excited about. i more excited at the future of SDSL this is used mainly by big business but the diffrence here is same upload and download speed. one 10mb broadband become the standered across the UK BT will start implimenting the access of SDSL to local excahnges and other service providers meening acess to the residential market. what you will find when your in a game and there a bit of lagg its due mostly to the upload speed of the host rather than the download speed of the other players. 256K upload will become 10 upload and download. otherwise the end of lagg as we know it. meaning devs will be able to do more with the online services. hope i didnt go on a little bit 91 -
First times the charm.Unregistered - Ozzmaster 02.02.2006 09:24 If you say that Sony can't produce a better live service than microsoft because MS has been doing live for years now and they have more expirience. Is the same as saying that the Xbox360 can't be as good as the PS3 because Sony has had more experience with game consoles. But I would also like to note that Sony has had success with every majior game project that they have ever done. On the first try. PS1, PS2, and PSP. Have all had success, and sony has had good competition against everything that they have released. To say that sony current online was a failure is not true. While MS has better quality online, sony still has great online numbers. So I believe that they can beat MS online with the first try. Good Luck Sony. 92 -
That last post was funnyUnregistered - famo 02.02.2006 12:12 Sony is going to beat MS on online play??? Who is Bill Gates again???? Dude you gotta to be the dumbest person.

bloop 02.02.2006 13:45 Firstly I'd like to ask what was the big frickin deal with HALO?? I'll have to say it was a letdown, (but I wont even begin with killzone, terrible!!!) and what exactly is Oblivion??? I've never even heard of it. And I aint gonna shell out 500 big ones just to play 2 games, one that didnt live up to hype and one ive never heard of. There's more than 2 great games heading for PS3, think i'll wait. 98 -
#97 YOUR A DUMBASSUnregistered - SONY KILLA 02.02.2006 13:48 2 GAMES??? pgr3 pdz cod2....Also #97 you deffinately haven't looked at the games coming out for the 360 in march..Watch the F OUT B/C they are going to kick ass.. And by the way Oblivion is awsome and a PS3 KILLA. GHOST RECON IN MARCH TOO ALL PS3 KILLAS...HALO3 WHEW NEED I SAY MORE!!! 99 -
Unregistered - wotter 02.02.2006 15:08 Yeah, going to buy Oblivion for pc and wtf like Halo can compete with ps3... Face it, games make and brake consoles (dreamcast anyone?). Grow up and don't be a blind sheep. Competition is good for us, it makes: 1. Prices low. 2. Makes sure that products are of a high quality. I'm glad Sony is going to battle xb live head on. It's just sad that people are blinded by this, especially xboxfanboys. Live is what made xbox and now it is under heavy attack by Sony. Btw if you love your games for your precious console, than FFS PLAY THEM and don't come here again. I'm sick of all these fanboys, from all sides. Grow up so we can have mature discussions. 100 -

#6 or anyoneUnregistered - dsfsdf 02.02.2006 16:01 well, as a gamer; the xbox 360 looks horrible...... my pc pumps out 50x better graphics.. but w/e XBOX sucks took them forever to get xbox 1 out.. which sucked...so does any other console...i have yet to see ANY wow factors in Xbox games (or xbox in general)... the 360 is only a polished up verison of the last cr@ppy console which weighted in at an amazing 30 lbs and full of problems.. comps are the best for games.. still; and they're the future 103 -
#98EnforcerOfTheTruth 02.02.2006 16:47 LOL most games you named are PC ports or vice versa. Face the truth, your xflop has zero top notch exclusive material. 104 -

Unregistered - WOW 02.02.2006 17:30 Dude who is number 17? No one cares about reading that much from one person 106 -
To #59Unregistered - Ok 02.02.2006 18:34 What makes you think your ps3 will be able to record live tv? I have never heard this before, I don't know where you got that info but I bet its wrong. Also if you could use your psp to go online and tell your ps3 to record, why do you even need the psp to do this? If you can go online and do it why should you need the psp to? Also I am pretty sure you wont be able to just go online anywhere with your psp without paying for some kind of service, so your free online thing will not be free no matter what. If you expect the ps3 to have a great online service you can bet anything that you will be paying for it. Nothing in life is free, or haven't you learned this yet? |
