View Full Version : New slim PS3

I have been saving up for a long time and was thinking about exiting my cave and entering the 21st century finally by buying a PS3. I'm checking online and the newer "slim" PS3 is like $10 cheaper and I don't know why. It has everything the regular one has but 250 GB instead of 160 GB that the older one has which should make it more expensive right? I don't get it, does the slimmer PS3 really suck or something?

Yeah, just buy whatever is the least expensive. If you nee more hd space you can put a cheap laptop hd in it.

Why? So he can pay to play online when he already has to pay for internet?

Playstation went from being the biggest and best selling console of all time to... this? Name 10 exclusive games for it that are really worth playing. I mean, that's probably possible, but for the years it didn't have anything and I think they're just now pushing out stuff.

You have to pay for XBOX online if I remember correctly. I have a PS3 - Red Dead Redemption and GTAIV online are all I need. I can go online for free and shoot *****es like there's no tomorrow, fuck paying for that.

I think the reason for that is because for the years past, the 360 got all the hype from the Halo fans that drowned anything else out. Now that Halo games aren't coming out anymore, the 360 doesn't have any good exclusives (that I know of), out, that a Playstation player couldn't play. Even that Mass Effect 2 game isn't a 360 exclusive anymore, and the next one coming out isn't either. So really, the 360 and PS3 communities, are in the same boat now.

They are both good and each have countless good exclusives. Buy what appeals to you most. If there are more xbox games you want to play, then an xbox is the better machine, if there are more ps3 games, then ps3 wins.....simple.

Well I just bought a PS3 and I really wouldn't want a Xbox 360. I mean you have to pay for that online shit and I don't know many people that have it anyways, everybody I know has a PS3! And the games aren't much different anyways, what does Xbox have that PS3 doesn't and can you play it online for free? No. But it sucks because I can't sign up for the PS3 network right now because they're performing maintenance :crying:
It will make an awesome rage comic but I'm a little pissed now.

i hope there isnt. but if there is, oh well. there should be a hardcore mode too.

also, dynamic quest construction for the game. so, the way you play the game also changes quest lines in side missions and stuff.

Every time they bring out a new PS3 it has less functionality which is why it gets cheaper.

When the original phat 60 gig PS3 was lauched, everyone whined about the fact that it cost £425 (over $600) despite the fact that the PS1 was about the same price at launch. So they stripped it down in order to lower the manufacturing costs. The 4 USB ports when down to 2 ports, they did away with the flash card readers and removed the PS2 chip that allowed PS2 game playback functionality.

I'm guessing similar structural hacks are the reason the PS3 slim is cheaper than the 160 gig model.

This is an administrative warning.

Yea MSG4 is something I totally regret not having played. I've always loved the shit out of Sony, but they priced the PS3 way out of my range. My roommate had it though, Demon Souls was the shit and a half.

Grow up?Sorry to destroy this to you but will is part of the past now...Both microsoft and sony "copied" wii and got it to a whole new level, there is no way wii> ps3 or xbox unless we are talking about money but still you pay less, you get a far inferior console

Wii gets unnoticed but has some great titles coming out as of lately. Their next console, "Project Cafe" is going to blow everything away. Wii is underpowered, but it gets hated on a bit too much.

What will they think of next? (NOTE: This is apparently just a concept, and from what I've been told, there isn't any new Playstation console coming out for awhile.)

Why the need to play online? Also, as a massive Metal Gear Solid fan, I'm duty-bound to say that MGS4 is a massive box of balls. They totally changed the control system to something much more shit, there's about half an hour of play time and it's too fucking gimmicky. Also you don't need to worry about getting caught. Time was I'd hear the beep and start sweating conkers.

Dont want to bust your nuts or whatever, but I never understood why people spent money they should be spending on alcohol on game consoles. A computer can play games, cant it? Why would you do that?

Well i'm typing this from my PS3 right now fuck yeah, it feels hella gangsta. But yeah I got black ops for free with it and bought two games. I got Assasins Creed 2(I know a little old but I didn't want to skip any part of the story which I've wanted to play for hella long) and Red Faction Guerrilla because it just looks awesome! I really need other games though but I'm kind of broke after all these purchases :( Also found where the xbox wins. You can listen to music while you play. I'm trying to listen to some gangster rap as I shoot these mother fuckers up!

Resistance sucks. And secondly, you really shouldn't use sequels in lists like this.

Lastly, where the fuck is Demon's Souls on this list?

There's also Yakuza. And Disgea. Persona 3. A lot of good things.

Consoles suck but this console wars stuff is the absolute worst.
