PS3 VS Wii

crazypete · (#1 (**permalink**))

tomorrow is the launch of the PS3...my suggestion..let me give you guys some info...originally supposed to be 400,000 Units shipped to the U.S it is now 150,000 units... why you ask?

1. system kept on over heating(no surprise)
2. controllers were starting to suck
3. the backwards compatibility of it SUCKS basically you can play the PS1 and PS2 games, but you would not be able to see them and 4. is why
4. IGN: Sony's Grave Error: The $499 HDMI-Lacking PS3.
5. let's see a PS2=$600 warranty: son of a$@# $100 game: 60 bucks: memory card: it better be at least $40>_<.. you're looking at paying about $800 dollars

the Wii? 4 million are coming here so don't worry ppl you'll definitely get one.... the games are awesome and i've played Excite Truck for it.. it rocks!!! another thing... it IS backwards compatable.. and you can create your own "Mii" which is basically a version of yourself on the console

... surf the interner if u have WiFi and also add pictures to it.. and price?

Wii console: $250
games: $50
warranty: $40
don't know if u need mem card or not...but in all you're looking at about $350.... see the difference?

ppl.. you know PS3 will probabaly go down..so do me a favor..stick with the Wii..

Why it is better to never buy a console when it is launched. One year from now the price will have dropped by at least 1/4 and most teething problemss will have been fixed by then. I still don't have PS2 but will acquire it this spring.

As for games I rent them for trial and those I really like I buy second-hand at EB Games.

Thanks for the info pete. I been telling people to forget the PS3 at least a year before even thinking about it. gives time for them to produce more and fix the bugs out of it. Over heating is going to be a issuse with all these new systems because they let artist who know nothing about computers come up with the visual image of it then the CO comes out and says i want it looking just like that. then engineers say ok we can do it and they for get about heat issuse and go we can put this here and here and here.

you should not need a memory card with the PS3 it comes with a hard disk stuff should save there.

The wii is going to be a great system and fun the games will be cheeper they are going to sell retro games for from NES and SNES for it for very cheep. It just not a powerful system. these company got to relize yeah want better graphics but not at the cost of games beeing dull and no fun the eyecady effect quickly wears off after 2 months.

I think they went against HDMI because the cables cost a arm and a leg at retailers your talking $40 to $130 for one of those cables. also by doing this it gave another option to let people use the PS3. thru high def cables. I think they stuck with there unverasl connection in the back can you confirm this pete. if they did it should take all kinds of cables including a HDMI. oh and just to let everyone know HDMI is not all it cracked up to be it great for computers but shitty for TV stuff High Def cable seem to offer better resultion rate. all good thing about HDMI you don't need audio cables.

There is so much hype about PS3! And there will be for Wii too! Comes down to price vs performance

I'll say that again in case your head didn't blow up...

Forty gigabytes, flash. The fackin Wii is going to have a miserable time putting that in its pipe and smoking it.

not sure if they did the memory alone would cost more then a wii the. I herd there was 4 gig of flash memory on it for save games and stuff. maybe that what you are thinking of. if it got 40 gig it a hard drive. it may be a small one but it not flash. Flash memory cost about $150 for ever 4 gigs. so your talking 10 times that so the price for the memory of the Wii would be 600 plus eveything else. I will double check that one thou who to say nintendo just did not make there own flash memory.

The wii use SD cards for memory and it looks like they go into the controler accoriding to Wii - Hardware
and the largest size of flash memory in SD is 4 gigs that the public has access to. that still 1,000 times more stroage space then the old memory cards for the game cube. =)

Sony needs to be more original with the looks, nintendo has something cool and unique everytime, Sony sticks with the same controller, PS3 doesnt look that good in my opinion..

Err, personally I do not like them both at all. I'll stick to the PSP and PS2.
The PS3 has worked itself up to $3000 here. O_o

4. Now they've made the cheap PS3s HDMI ready too.
5. Small price to pay for a great game console.

...and there was me, thinking that I was a cheapskate...

lol you're so stupid it's pathetic.... today a lot of people came racing to the stores and said that their PS3 weren't working right... i went to Gamestop..same problem.... the guy who won a PS3 at MTV? yea that PS3 wasn't working for him either.... lol have fun paying $800 for a piece of trash.. oh and yea i work at a store called GameCrazy and hmm let's see... in less than three hours we had about 30 customers bitching at us because their PS3's weren't working.. and they got them at different stores...but once idiotic Americans go into a panic they have to go into a friggin gamestore and expect us to fix it
