PSP Slim, A great review that tells it like it is.
 

Here is a what i felt was a good review for the new PSP Slim from Sony.
Chime in with your two cents on the PSP and Sony in General.


The New Sony PSP Slim Review

SONY IS OWNING!!!!
Sony consoles are outselling XBOX 24 consoles to one...
And everybody says the Wii is outselling the PS3, but PS3 sales went up 178%, and the PS2 is still outselling the Wii!!!!

whoe!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!OMG!!!!!!!!!!!!1:eek:

Looks like this generation goes to Sony!!!

So the "Sony family" (the PS2, PS3 and PSP combined) is doing better than the Wii and the DS individually. (As shown at Sonydefenseforce.com). Big deal.

Is the 'Sony family' doing better than the "Nintendo family" (Gamecube, Wii and DS combined)? Of course not. I mean if sales go up by 178% and they're still not winning the console war that says an awful lot about earlier sales.

I bought the DS mainly because of Zelda, and if they release some killer titles for the PSP I would consider getting one, though nothing really grabs me at the moment.

I think Yahtzee sums up the consol wars to a T.

The Escapist : Zero Punctuation: Console Rundown

and the psp slim. fuck you sony trying to do a nintendo I'm not buying another handheld just because it's smaller, prettier and better designed.

just to let you guys no, PS3 is not outselling xbox 360, and sony are lucky about that. cos every console they sell. they're actually not making money. they're losing money. :D:D XBOX rules

I'll stick to my normal PSP:)

Microsoft did the same thing with the Xbox.

I have one~!

i got it when it was released.

Even though I am a Xbox girl.

X']~!

Ummmm, on the side, if you click the PlayStation 2 tab.... you'll see that the PS2 is still outselling the Wii, pretty bad when a last gen system is killing a next gen system in sales.... Let's not forget teh release of the Sony PSiiMote is coming up!!!

You jokin. xbox=Crap crap=xbox

It's not surprising that the PS2 is selling better than the Wii. The PS2 has a huge range of quality titles available for it and is really cheap (as are the games)

The PS3 isn't doing so well because it's not cheap and it doesn't have the games. But it's also true to say there aren't that many good games available for the Wii yet, which is why PS2 is doing better than both of them.

Both PS3 and Wii don't have games, but people bought the Wii because it's a lot cheaper and it (undoubtfully) makes people curious. Now, I think that the launch of Brawl will improve Wii's sales, but not that much (people who like the Smash Bros brand are Nintendo fanboys, and they probably already bought a Wii). Instead, when the PS3 will have GTA4, Metal Gear Solid 4 and Gran Turismo 5 *PLUS* a lower price, its sales will do a lot better.
But this generation is just starting, we'll see how things will do in a couple of years.

There are tons of PS3s available where i live, and the Wii (which I stood in line for) is still a rarity

haha, ok, name one usefull extra that a ps3 has that makes it better then 360?

i can name loads of things that xbox has better than ps3. eg. better online gaming :D

psp slim
 

well i say PS3 because you can download good games for free unlike the 360 and the major titles have not launched yet which will kill xbox and nintendo

Aight.
deep breath

-so, you can play with ps as much as u want, it wont turn red after 3 hrs
-its the original, so its controller isnt that dumb to play with
like your left finger is at your forehead, and your right is at your feet, oh and I tried to play with x, and it was oh,man.
-it has slots or I dunno, where you can put you xD memory card and stuffs.
-BD, so I dont have to buy a "ps4" (read:xbox 720) 2 yrs later
-sixaxis, I dont have to buy a wii for my ps if I want to try motion sensing

-and the most important:
My opinion is: Xboxers are just playing with their consoles, (halo and those games...fashion games..you play it over in 3 hrs as michieru did) but PS fans play with their console? (if u just do the storyline of final fantasy, it takes 70hrs, so while they copy 3 games and play it, read 2 books and go on camping, they come back, and they see us still playing with FF) they enjoy it, just look at FF; DMC; GT; Tekken. No need to say more.
Cant think of anymore right know, but Ill write some okay??

I can name only 1-2 things why xbox is good.

i didn't understand most of that. I'll try to reply to what i THINK you said.

- are you saying xbox over heats after 3 hours???? HAHAHAHHA, this is sad bad true, i've played on xbox for 16hours straite once. no over heating. no red lights no nothing... the only times it over heats is if you put the power in a closed area.
- from what i'm understanding,you got hands smaller than a 4 year old. 360 is comfortable, the sticks are in perfect position, the trigger button IS actualy a trigger button. unlike ps3 pad. those LB and RB buttons bug the hell out of me and everyone i know (even sony fans)
- I don't understand what you said.
- I don't understand what you said.
- sixaxis SUCKS ASS, it doesn't work most of the time. if i want motion sensing. i'd go for wii.


Now, for good things about xbox 360

- not ridiculously over priced
- BETTER games than ps3
- online gaming is far superior to that of ps3
- better pad than ps3
- External harddrive
- Media center options
- can be used as a divX player

i can name more if you like?

whoa, 3 xboxs cant even race with sony (just look at sony records and 20% of the movies, sony brand is always there)


I said you dont have to buy many accessories, and all those bullshit :)

What I meant is: 2 yrs later x fans will run to the shops mummy buy me a new xbox which is cooler than a ps3, becoz it palys Blue Ray too, oh mummy please!!
(We both now that one ps is idk 600$ and xbox is 200-400$ and two years later the BluRayXbox will cost 500$ Count man.)
i can name more if you like?

yep!!!! I enjoy this soo much!! XDXD
nice talkin to ya

OHHHHH sorry i didn't understand first time. :o .... Well as for blu-ray,,, that will never happen cos blu-ray is specifically SONY, and there is an equivalent already; HDdvd, which is just an add on, which btw xbox + HDdvd is cheaper than PS3 + nothing, lol

I know where you're coming from. but surely paying little by little for accesories you WANT is better then paying $600+ straite off and not use most of those accesories. like blu-ray for example. i have a ps3, but i dont own a single blyray film apart from casino royale which was free.

:D btw, happy to talk wid u too

I never knew...I'm waiting what wonder will Bgates invent...XD

I usually use these accessorries, but you were right, 6axis sucks a little.
Oh and films, who cares bd dvd films, games' capacity and quality what i'm talking about.

Ok, im a ps fanboy, and I see xbox as a bad copy. :mtongue:


pointless to argue; I just wanted to see your opinion

hehe, ditto. i just wanted to hear a Sony fan's side. personally i have both. i gotta admit some things are btter on ps3.... pro evo... thats all i can think of at the moment. but its still nice to have. :D

What's the point of discussing which console is the best?
A true gamer will eventually end up with them all anyway.
It's all about the games.

I still play Record Of Lodoss War on my Dreamcast
And Golden Eye on my Nintendo 64
And Snatcher on my Mega CD
And Panzer Dragoon on my Saturn.

In 5 years time the PS3 and Xbox 360 will be dead cheap and so will the games, so I'll get them both.

grrr..i bought a nintendo DS, then a couple of months later nintendo DS lite was released so i was like "damn, i wish i bought that instead" and back in january of this year i bought a PSP and now they're releasing psp slim..so now im like "damn, i wish i bought that instead" all over again >_>

I've not got a PSP and would happily buy one. But would anyone say they're better than the DS?

unfortunately not all of us can be "true gamers" and the reason we're discussing consoles is cos games usualy suck these days, we have to be entertained by the actualy console itself

PSP's are much better than DS's...the graphics and stuff are 10000x better on the PSP and it has better games, but I still think DS's are good. :3

I only use the term "true gamer" to imply that the love of a game, even if it is 20 years old (such as frogger or pacman) is always going to be the most important factor. (rather than say how good the graphics are)

Sorry, I just don't understand what you mean by this.

E.g. Wii sells cos of its motion based games... now the games are nothing special but most people buy the console cos it does something "special" that other consoles dont do. so we get entertained by the actual console more than games these days...

msot people thtat play games these days judge a game on how it looks, not how it plays... so its not really about games nemore (in my opinion anyway)

The PSP and the DS have different games, different imput methods, in just a couple of words: they're totally different. You can't compare them.
Get both and have fun!

I'd buy a Wii because it has Zelda and Metroid Prime.
Or a PS3 because it has Metal Gear Solid and Devil May Cry.

I feel it's kind of sad that people would do otherwise.
No sorry, still can't get my head round it. :)

Oh and if anyone can recommend some good PSP games it'd be cool... Final Fantasy Tactics interests me. It just seems that a lot of them, eg. Tekken, are simply cut down versions of the PS2 games, whereas a lot of the DS games eg. Castlevania, Metroid are unique to the system.

lol, i'm not asking you to. i'm just telling you how it is... i worked in a games shop (gamestation) for 3 years. i got a fair idea of what makes a console sell and what doesn't.

If games and consoles were made for "true gamers" these games companies would be out of business

Ummm....Ps2 outselling wii?!? Maybe TOTAL! It's been out how many freakin' years?!?! The stats show that the Wii is the best selling home game system of all time. Outselling the Ps2 in the same period starting both their release dates. Keep dreaming...

woww.....HOW LUCKY!!


and..HOW TRUE!!!!!

Yeah, only a few games come out what is made to play...like FF.
Others are just to have a little fun, like XBOX games (sry man, again :mtongue: )
And they play 5 games a day and call themselves gamers...



@ monkey: Its you who dreamin boy..

haha. don't say sorry. you're 100% right...this is why i like xbox... i'm not a "gamer" i'm the kinda guy that plays a console when i'm bored and never actually completes a game unless i'm doing it with someone... i'm more into multiplayer games that don't take much to have fun

I'm sticking with my PC and not worrying about console wars. :mtongue: I can chat and play games and post things on boards and watch animes all with the same machine. :vsign:

sorry, as a console fan I have to say something like: This was a useless post.
