What Drama! Sony is building a classy product. the PS3 will have HDMI output and will provide a fully functional Blu-Ray drive for HD movie viewing. All of its games will be HD only.
Ouch. WHat an illusion...
1. FYI:
every single PC game is "HD" FOR YEARS NOW. The fact that consoles finally will follow PCs has almost zero information.
2. Classy product? It's the original release date tthey were lying for us even just two months ago and so far
Sony still couldn't produce a prototype and most likely this E3 will pass without one again. Nothing, nada, nil.
3. Blu-Ray? FYI: Blu-Ray will come around $800-100 when it will be finally out. Do you really think Sony will take hundreds of extra loss per PS3 for BD when rest of PS3 already mean $2-300 loss per unit?
Forget it. Sony will release another, higher priced unit with Blu-Ray, for the time being, until BD prices will come down.
That is not the case for the Xbox360. So if the PS3 sells for $499 how will it stack up against the Xbox360?
$100 more expensive.
The Xbox360 with the hard drive is $399. They are coming out with a HD-DVD drive that is $100. Lets see, that equates to $499 WITHOUT the HDMI output! So how is the Xbox360 gonna beat the socks off of SONY?
1. PS3 will come
without hard drive. So let's be real: that's Sony is realistically $599, most likely without BD drive.
2. Because X360 is out already, by the time it will be 1 year old, plenty of games, a proven system, let alone MS most likely will price it down by then.
Yes you can buy the $299 Xbox360. But you do not get the Hard Drive ($100),
Neither PS3 has...
the wireless controllers nor the remote controller ($30).
Neither is necessary to able to use it...
You get a game system that overheats and has not had a new title since November!
??

How will the Sony PS3 survive the Xbox360?
Sony is not stupid. They make quality products and they do not have to sell cheap. They put quality parts together and as anyone knows -- Sony products last a long time. That is not to say they have not made products with flaws. But they have made products that people wanted and worked the way that they are supposed to.
Man... you're dreaming, seriously. Sony is in DEEP sh*t AT EVERY LEVEL.
The PS2 was rushed and it came out with some problems initially but they were worked out.
LOL - so how is that Sony not stupid, makes quality products et cetera?
This time Xbox360 came out first and I am sure their problems will be worked out. But how can the PS3 survive the Xbox360?
Let's see PS23 first, shall we?
My experiance with computer graphics tells me that Nvidia has for the last three years smacked ATI around. ATI products are power grabbing, noise making, heat creating products that barely can reach the capabilities of same generation Nvidia products.
You are strikingly misinformed about
the whole PC graphics, pal.
ATI has been beating Nvidia in terms of performance ever since the release of the now famoous R300 chip, up until last year - now Nvidia is pretty much neck to neck, although once again ATI has the technological lead.
Are you sure you didn't confuse the company names?
Is this why some early Xbox360s are overheating? Also some games on the Xbox360 are 480p games and upconverted to 720p or 1080i. All PS3 games will be a minimum of 720p or higher. How is the PS3 gonna beat the Xbox360?
Sorry but now it's pretty obvious you barely understand the basics of game graphics, console or PC, doesn't matter.
I see the Xbox360 as the poor man's next gen player with the PS3 player fully functioning next gen player. And might I remind most of you that the PS2 was for the most part the masses introduction into the world of movie DVD players. I believe that the PS3 will be the masses introduction into the world of HD DVD players by way of the Blu-Ray drive. Only time will tell. Let's see -- what was the question -- oh yeah -- How is the PS3 gonna survive against the Xbox360 -- and can it be number one again? Only time will tell but I would not be betting against Sony. Their track record is too good.
As a side note, the Xbox360 is very nice and I like some of the games and would own one but not at the expense of not being able to purchase a PS3. I like the games on the Sony system better and I am an advocate for the Blu-Ray drive system. I own a HD set and I want the best HD gaming system for it. Right now on specs that system is the PS3. Out of the box the PS3 will have a Blu-Ray drive, HDMI outputs, full HD-Dolby and HD-DTS audio support, hard drive and only comes with wireless controllers! There will probably not be a scaled down system -- what would they leave out? Maybe in two or three years when there is something I really want to play on the Xbox360 I will buy one. For now I am saving my money for the PS3 -- no matter the cost. It is either that or I shell out more bucks for a decent Blu-Ray HD DVD player that I can't play games on. I have a HD set and I want to watch movies in HD and not HD-Lite like what we get from cable and satellite. My money is on the PS3 being a hugh winner this Xmas.
You're a real Sony fan, we can tell that...
After your comments about gfx based on your "experiance with computer graphics" or your vague and, khm, interesting ideas on "upconverted vs real output" in console games, let alone truckload of factual errors I think you really need to read up on this whole subject...
