Xbox prevails in online play and is quickly gaining in rpgs and action games. Were sony prevails in # of titles and has more rpgs and action games. Nintendo prevails in having some of the most trustworthy products on the market and the most noticable exclusive characters, and in the hand held market.

I am a little against sony on the video game market because they are horrible to customers and people still support them and will die defending them.

What i mean by this is the hard ware is junky and breaks down. No one can deny that, when you talk to sony reps and you ask them that question they get mad and dont respond cause they know its true. Not to mention Sony claim they have 97% success rate on there systems and there is no system in the world that has that. Meaning retailers can only return 3 out of 100 systems that pooped out and get credit back. I dont know who sony is fooling but even the ever reliable GameCube doesnt come close to 97% success rate and thats probally the most relaible system on the market.

NOt to mention if your ps2 goes out under sony warranty you have to pay the shipping fees to have them fix it i know XBox will send you a prepaid box to send the system to them for free. Not sure what nintendo does. But that is a complete and udder insult to the consumer. There basically saying they are the best there is and you will buy more of our systems and give us more money.

When i lashed back at him its just because i like to break fan boys hearts.

But that is 100% true about microsoft trying to buy video game companies, I mean its bill gates wtf do your expect he dominates at almost everything he gets his hands into you would be foolish not to think he wont try to run sony into the ground. And he will probally succeed because Fact of the matter is sony cant afford to spend with microsoft. They dont have as much money and they just lost alot of money on the PSP systems and unless the PSP take off soon, thats not gonna change. Because the 2 hottest systems over christmans where NIntendo's DS, and WII.

I am worried though that if microsoft buys Capcom and others to run sony off because that will make Competition for it null and void because all nintendo will do is keep making inovative systems. Which wont affect the xbox market.

But if they do hopefully they dont start making junky games and products.

Dude your post back to illegalprelude was way out of line and it's massively hypocritical of you to call him a fanboy and start being ignorant. All he said was that his systems have never failed.
Nobody is arguing that the PS2 didn't have its fair share of problems but it was mostly centred around the DVD drive. After having mine for 2 1/2 years I called Sony and told them I was upset because my new copy of Reservoir Dogs wouldn't load up past the Artisan title screen. I passed by Whitby's service centre one day and the gave me a refurbished unit with the newest hardware and drivers in it and took mine away, no questions asked. That new unit still works fine today and was my main DVD drive until last year when I got a Pioneer Elite player.

How do you expect anyone to take you seriously when you spout shite like this?

That's what fanboys say. It's not going to happen and it shouldn't. Competition is good for consumers (except this stupid format-war).

No doubt.

its a good looking system, that most people slander because not much has been released and not many of the kids who rule gamer message boards or who seek refuge in a game store like EB or Gamestop can afford the system. They are just mad they cannot get a sequal to the Playstation 2 for the same price.

The fact of the matter is that this is a different day of age for technology and if Sony were to make a PS3 that just played games they would be in so much more trouble. Try releasing those same launch games and just have a normal DVD player built in. It would collect dust.

I for one will argue any nerd kid who like to argue it with me. Of course the 360 has far better gaming right now...i had both systems at launch and the PS3 launch games were graphically superior to the 360's launch.

Of course they are graphically superior from launch, because they are all ported from the 360 versions. The original 360 games were ported from the xbox or p2 versions. Think about what your saying. But if you wanna go that route the launch titles on the p3 are one of the worst launch titles ever.

No doubt.

Not true one bit yes the dvd was a problem but it was the fact there was like 5 different discs the system had to read, And if was hit or miss which ones went out.

[ItPutTheLotionON]

Yea, he was saying his systems worked fine. But when in my original post did i ever ask opinions on the system working. Im glad his worked for him he is a lucky boy. But if you remember i asked if it was worth buying for a blue ray player. Because that is all i will use it for aside from Socom or GOd of war.

So when you start defending something when the question in the post had nothing to do with what he responded on. Your gonna look like a fan boy

[Motorheadache]

Look, you started off by saying Sony makes crappy products. He just pointed out that he didn't agree with you, and then you came back with all this fanboy BS. You are the only one who has posted anything that sounds like a fanboy. If anything you say actually happens, I'll shave my head and tattoo "I'm in Love with Bill Gates" on my forehead.

My question is, all prejudices aside, are the movies out so far worth buying it yet or should I wait and see if other companies come to HD DVD, because I have the 360 add on? What I am considering buying is the PS3 cause I hear it is one of the best BD players out, but I am scared to death to buy it and have it break down because Sony makes crappy hardware on the video game side of their company.

Cause I really don't think I can wait for The Prestige, Casino Royale, X-Men, The Fifth Element, Invicinble, Underworld and a few more.

i started out by saying they make crappy products. Nope, if you read i start out by asking my question and then expressed my concern, So since your pretty much an illiterate f. You may as well shave your head bald and the other do the other homo stuff you said. Or you could just read it, and then not post crap, when your not even close to what i said.

I'm glad this hasn't turned in to a fanboy flame war, with useless speculation and verbal tirades.

As far as answering the OP, yes there are any number of great looking discs. I think some of the original release titles were rushed and the quality was just not where it should be. Recent releases have definately picked up in the quality department.

Warner and Paramount have both commited, per a number of Web sites to "catching up" with releasing the HDDVD only titles thus far. I think you'll also see a number of BD exclusives coming from Disney, Fox and CTS in '07

So yes I think there are a lot of titles worth buying. Jump in the waters great!

"Seacrest out!"

[Motorheadache]

Your first post was that Sony makes crappy products. It doesn't matter that it wasn't the very first sentence, that's what you said. Which is fine, nobody cares yet. Then illegalprelude says he doesn't think they are crappy, followed by you raving all fanboyish. I know how to read and that's what you wrote.
I also don't understand why you would consider buying a PS3 if you think they make crappy products. Of course you shouldn't. It's likely going to break down, followed by Sony's downfall which will render it useless for games. And then everyone will laugh at me for looking like a homosexual skinhead

[ItPutTheLotionON]

you truley are a hobo. I want it cause ive heard its one of the best BD players out now. And sony does make junky video games hardware, if you could read like you just stated you can, im still not sure though. And i didnt say they were dyeing anytime soon. But you would be foolish to think they can spend with Microsoft, because sony is already coming of a flopped system the psp. All im stating is that the cold hard truth is, while sony is fighting for there life to get blue ray over. Microsoft is setting in motion, plans to take over the video game market, by buying video game makers. And sony is sitting still hoping new games of the same old titles hold them over. Meanwhile they are losing exclusive titles and most everything not owned by sony will launch on both systems. Aka Grand theft, Metal Gear is in the works to launch on both, that doesnt bode well for sony and anyone who thinks it wont matter has fan boy so far in there head they cant see straight.

But like i said i hope it doesnt happen cause as stated in previous posts competition is good.

[Motorheadache]

Fair enough, I don't agree with you that's going to happen, but you can think what you want. All I really cared about in the first place was your unwarranted tirade in your second post. So whatever.

[ItPutTheLotionON]

Well we can come to atleast agree to disagree. On a side note good day for both formats as far as anouncement wise gotta make ya happy.

[ItPutTheLotionON]

I think all the announcements sealed the deal for me.
