PS3 is 300 dollars now

[Microshock]

Obviously with the forum being Xbox/PC centered, no one DARED to post this news.

But now with this price drop, more people should move over

And the Slim version

[LordSappington]

And yet, it STILL has no games. :\

[Microshock]

How's the weather in 2007?

[stevetothepast]

get sony's cock out of your mouth

[Microshock]

Hmmm, the bridges ran out of space?

[executioneer]

still too expensive for me atm, maybe when it goes down to $250

edit: AND after i get a hdtv

[Phoenix Gamma]

get sony's cock out of your mouth
Seconded. Plenty of people here have PS3s. But none of us worship Sony like you do.

You don't see any threads about 360 price drops, which have happened in the past.

[Sam]

I CAN'T BELIEVE YOU GUYS

NO ONE FUCKING DARED TO POST THIS NEWS

THIS NEWS IS SO IMPORTANT BUT ALL YOU FAGS WANT TO DO IS HUMP YOUR 360 AND STICK YOUR COMPUTER MICE IN YOUR CORNHOLE

YOU FUCKING GUYS HOW DARE YOU

HOW FUCKING DARE YOU

I'M IMMEDIATELY GOING OUT TO BUY A PS3 RIGHT NOW FUCK YOU GUYS I CAN'T BELIEVE NO ONE DARED TO TELL ME THIS BREAKING NEWS HOLYFUCKINGSHITCUNTFUCK

[Guitar Woman]

not buying it until sony gets their heads out of their asses and makes it backwards compatable.

[Sam]

GUITAR WOMAN HOW DARE YOU NOT SEE THE VALUE

[Guitar Woman]

You are right

I have been such a fool

[executioneer]

wait the ps3 isn't backwards compatible?

[Tadao]

It's not backwards compatible? Who do they think they are, Sega?

[kahljorn]

This is unacceptable.

[MattJack]

Two of my brothers have a PS3. They collect dust when they aren't being used as a blu ray player.

[Microshock]

Tell them to buy games

[Dr. Boogie]

wait the ps3 isn't backwards compatible?

Only the early models. They dropped it for all the ones currently in production.


$300 is better than the original price, but I'm still going to need to see some more top notch console exclusives before I think about buying one. That, or another, more significant price drop.

Obviously with the forum being Xbox/PC centered, no one DARED to post this news.

But now with this price drop, more people should move over

And the Slim versionHave you given up trying to convince the people on this board that you aren't a PS3 fanboy, or are you still trying?

Because coming back to the board just to say this... not a step in the right direction.




Edit: An interesting aside: The PS3 models with hardware backward compatability are selling for more than the newer models, in spite of the fact that the new models come with a game, and the old ones only come with a controller.

[darkvare]

lol i would be pissed about the backwards thing but i never owned a ps2 and when i did i never played a non pirated game

[Phoenix Gamma]

Don't worry. Sony will be ready to resell you your entire PS3 library on PSN!

I can not WAIT buy all of those games I have downstairs.

[Phoenix Gamma]

HEY GUYS, I JUST FOUND OUT THE 360 ELITE IS $300 NOW TOO.

http://gizmodo.com/5342870/why-hello-299-xbox-360-elite

LET'S TALK ABOUT THAT INSTEAD. I THINK I MIGHT BUY A 360 SOON BECAUSE IT'S THE ONLY CONSOLE I DON'T OWN AND XBLA KICKS ASS.

[darkvare]

if sony gives me 300 bucks i would happyly buy a ps3

[Fathom Zero]

Yeah, but you use pesetas in Mexico, right?

[LordSappington]

Pesos, yo.

[Fathom Zero]

No. Pesetas.

[darkvare]

thosse are from spain and i buy my consoles on the us

[Fathom Zero]

Whatever. It's all moon dollars anyway.

[Zomboid]

This kid is such a glutton for punishment.

[Command Prompt]

I owned both a 360 and a PS3, and I returned them both to Walmart within 2 months of owning them, as there was absolutely no justification for owning either.

This is by far the most fucking disappointing generation in video game history, and I'm just going to sit it out. Its not getting any better.

Edit: Its like I'm back in the fifth generation, except I can only choose between the 3DO, the Atari Jaguar, or the Amiga.

[Microshock]

Hey guys, I'm just informing of the situation. No shit i prefer the PS3, no fucking shit.

[Dr. Boogie]

Well, I beg to differ on the 360 front at least, but on the other hand, they are still making PS2 games...

[Command Prompt]

I agree about the 360 as well, and am somewhat considering getting another one, however after the price of the ps3 dropped to 299, they hiked the price of the 199 xbox to 229, to make the 299 xbox seem more reasonable, and steal sales from the PS3 which is a brilliant, yet bullshit move.

I'm still happy with the PS2 right now, so meh.

Edit: Yes, its only 30 bucks, but its 30 bucks that microsoft doesn't deserve.

Seriously, when you think about it, what kind of company jacks UP the price of something, 4 years AFTER it's been on the market. Only Microsoft.

[executioneer]

i'm only seeing news articles about the price going up about $60 in the UK / europe. also i'm seeing speculation that the price increase is because they're gonna start bundling them with 20gig hard drives instead of just a memory card or whatever it is

[Microshock]

Are you sure they raised prices on the arcade? I thought Microsoft only raised prices to retailers in the UK

[Dimnos]

Where are you getting the idea they are jacking up the price? The only thing I have seen about a price change on the xbox was they were dropping to price.

http://www.destructoid.com/target-flyer-confirms-xbox-360-pro-and-elite-price-cuts-145912.phtml

[Dimnos]

But now that the PS3 has dropped to $300 I will probably be getting one.

[Command Prompt]

The price of the Arcade got raised to 229.99 here in Canada.

Also, here, milk comes in bags.

Edit: I only checked Wal-mart, but then again, considering how often 360's break, I wouldn't buy it anywhere that didn't have a very liberal return policy.

[stevetothepast]

does anyone really buy milk in bags anymore? It doesn't stay fresh long enough, and if my milk is not fresh or has a strange taste, straight to the sink it goes.

[Command Prompt]

I think they still have bagged milk in northern ontario. I know a guy from thunder bay who went on about it all the time.

[Zomboid]

I haven't seen bagged milk since my family lived in one of the little military communities here in Alberta, and that was in the early 90's. Even then, I think it was only bagged 'cause all the families there got them for free for whatever reason, and the bags were a lot cheaper than cartons.

[Command Prompt]

bagged milk seems like a hassle. How do you keep it fresh? Do you roll the top of the bag up and clip it, like potato chips?

[Zomboid]

We had this jug specifically for the opened bags of milk. You put the bag in the jug, cut the top corner, and try to use it all as quickly as possible :\

The bags weren't big. I think we got one every day or so.

[stevetothepast]

We used to have it all the time, when I was a kid. It was not fresh most of the time, but your right zomboid, it was cheaper. My parents still have a milkman and could get bagged milk if they wanted, but I don't think many people buy it.

Edit: the one's we had were a litre, so you'd use it pretty quick.

[Tadao]

Why, the news is out about the price drop, what more is to be said about it?

[Zomboid]

more like:

http://mandypandy.files.wordpress.com/2009/03/milk.jpg

Yep, ours was like that, only white and I put a Jurassic Park sticker on it.

The whole idea was to use the milk that same day, so freshness wasn't a huge concern.

[Pentegarn]

Why, the news is out about the price drop, what more is to be said about it?

Well, you could say if you buy a PS3 and spill your bag of milk on it, it will only cost you 300 bucks to replace it.

Or you could say you could buy a PS3 and since it has such a disappointing library of games (other than a handful of exceptions) you could store your bags of milk in the hollowed out PS3 shell.

[Dimnos]

The new Playstation 3... Its cheaper... Like bagged milk.

[Zomboid]

YOU GUYS ARE WRECKING MICROSHOCK'S THREAD! HOW FUCKING DARE YOU!!!!!!

[stevetothepast]

HOW DARE YOU NOT RECOGNIZE THE VALUE OF BAGGED MILK???

[Chojin]

i was interested in this until i heard that it wasn't backwards compatible.

[Tadao]

Milk only ages, you can't turn cheese into milk. Oh you mean the ps3.

[executioneer]

hahah i love what this thread turned into, it's like a beautiful butterfly now

[Dr. Boogie]

Well I'll be the first one to ask: why do they put your milk in bags instead of bottles/jugs?

[Guitar Woman]

http://images.encyclopediadramatica.com/images/a/ab/Canada_milk_34.jpg

In canada milk comes in bags

get it

[Zomboid]

As discussed:

- It doesn't come in bags all over the place; just certain spots now, apparently.
- The bag thing seems to be a cheaper alternative for small quantities of milk that'll be used that same day.
- We don't really know :S

[Phoenix Gamma]

I thought there was a whole environmental thing to it too. At least, one of my science teachers used to go on and on about how bags are better because of something sciencey.

[Pentegarn]

i was interested in this until i heard that it wasn't backwards compatible.

Milk can't be backwards compatible. That's just silly.

[darkvare]

i used to buy milk in bags when i lived in quebec

[Dimnos]

Mexican Canadian? :hypno

[Command Prompt]

Man this generation is a disaster. I've never seen 2 systems have as much wrong with them as these 2 chowderheads.

The 360 seems to be the winner, however it breaks and overheats constantly, and you have to pay to use it online, AND factor in the cost of a wifi adaptor, if you are a neat freak about cords like I am.

The PS3 is the better built system, but the controller is absolute shit, and if I had polydactyly, I could count the good games for it on one hand.

Thank god the ps2 is still around. I still can't think of a mechanical flaw for the system, and it has 1600 games for it.

Oh well. I guess after 8 years of Bush, everyone got used to lowered expectations.

[Zhukov]

We get our milk in cardboard, you guys do to, right?

[stevetothepast]

don't ask command prompt about milk, he's on a tiff about this gen. of consoles for the 100th time in the last 3 days.

[Fathom Zero]

The PS3 is the better built system, but the controller is absolute shit.

You, sir, are a fgt and should be put down.

[Command Prompt]

how deformed are your hands that those fake wanna be triggers are in any way more functional than the 360 controller and its actual triggers

[Phoenix Gamma]

Deformed enough to type properly, I presume.

PS3's controller has a D-Pad that isn't shit. And I don't like the feel of the joystick or buttons on the 360. But that's neither here nor there. We're getting off topic.

Any of you guys try Lactaid? My friend has a shitload because he's lactose intolerant, but I can't imagine that it tastes as good as regular milk.

[Zomboid]

I love the feel of the joysticks and triggers on the 360. Those stupid shoulder buttons and nubs on the ps3 controller really do kinda suck in comparison, but they still beat the shit outta the fucking wiimote.

But yeah, getting off topic.

I've never tried Lactaid, but I have used condensed milk in coffee. I don't like coffee, but that gross looking milk made it tolerable when I needed a caffeine fix.

[stevetothepast]

I'm all about the milk in coffee, but at work all we have is this shite:

and p.s. the ps3 controller shoulder buttons suck ass.

I have a question for you guys: what's your favorite brand of chocolate milk? Cause when I was a kid, my mom would just buy Ovaltine, but that shit didn't really taste chocolatey. NesQuick is what I usually see, so I usually stick with that, but sometimes I see other brands, like ULTIMATE CHOCOLATE MILK, which makes me stomach feel funny but tastes pretty good.

It's been years since I've used Chocolate syrup with milk. Can't go wrong with Hershy's right?

[Sam]

NESQUICK FOR LIFE, DAWG

[Fathom Zero]

We were old school. My mom bought milk and Hershey's syrup and squeezed the thing into the jug.

[Zomboid]

I just buy big jugs of pre-made chocolate milk now, but I used to stick with Nesquik. Now, I don't even bother with that stirrin' shit!

[Dimnos]

Yeah I went ahead and picked one up today at lunch. Still need a good game to start playing. At this point in my 360s life span Ill take the cult of Sony over the Microsoft service line. When they took my Castle Crashers away from me it was pretty much over. :\

[bigtimecow]

get infamous. great game and ps3 exclusive!

[Fathom Zero]

Castle Crashers is coming to the PS3. You know. In case you want to buy the same game again. I'll have to. The 360 I bought it on is kaput and I'd have to be connected to Xbox Live at all time in order to play it on another.

[Microshock]

bigtimecow, just get the official trophy card, cause the MMOS card doesn't update ever


And I'll get Castle Crashers on PS3, see, unlike most Xbots, i actually do want great exclusives like that to come over here.

Also, get LittleBigPlanet: GOTY which comes out this month. Uncharted 1 so you can get ready for Uncharted 2, and Killzone 2 and whatever else
you want

Anyway, people say that skim milk tastes chalky, but if you drink it long enough, it becomes the norm for you, and whole milk starts to taste like heavy cream.

[stevetothepast]

yeah I agree, I'm into 1% for the past few years now, always drank 2% growing up, but now I really wouldn't feel comfortable going back.

[Dimnos]

Castle Crashers on the PS3! Fucking sweet! That was one of the big negatives to the console. Hell yea I got the slim. $100 cheaper and a bigger HD. Why the hell they even try to sell the old one with the 80 Gig for $399 still is beyond me.

Skim milk tastes like water if you ask me. 2% is where its at.

[Dimnos]

Anyone played Disgaea 3?

[Microshock]

Only thing i know about that is that it has DLC and it's getting trophies real soon

[Chojin]

I want a PS3 just because I collect consoles and I thought modracers looked neat. Normally I'd even entertain getting one since my ex took the PS2, but for some reason Sony thought it'd be an awesome idea to include even less in their box than their competitors.

[Wiffles]

I got the ps3 when it first came out, so its backwards compatible. I dont play it very often though, as I mainly use it to play ps2 games and MGS4 ^.^

[Microshock]

Wi-Fi, Rechargable controllers, built-in HDD and Blu-ray is having less than the competitors? Unless you mean the PS2 compatibility, which personally I don't care about and even the Xbox 360 has it in a limited form

Maybe one day it'll get some kind of a software patch
But it makes sense to Sony because the PS2 still sells a lot, so why would they try to please a vocal minority instead of making more money?

[Guitar Woman]

Maybe because it's nice to not be fucking jew cock fucks about getting money from your customers?

Also the 360 only needs BC on the Xbox games that mattered. So, Ninja Gaiden and nothing else.

[Microshock]

Jew cocks? Right, because Microsoft gave you oh so much putting those laptop hdds in those encasings for you for only 5 times the price! They're such nice people

But meanwhile, the company who is still making a ton of money on the PS2 should completely ruin their business strategy because a tiny vocal minority goes jackshit insane over B/C. Yes, yes. And as if no one here doesn't own a PS2 already

I'm trying to figure out what you think is cheap of a company to do. Because removing a feature most of the people don't really care about to make a system cheaper = not cheapasses.

[Guitar Woman]

Not defending Microsoft, broham

Anyway why the hell would you start producing something with good features only to cut the list in half after two days? That's a dick move. A massive one.

I could see them doing it to reduce production costs and not lose money, but playing PS2 games was the main reason I wanted a PS3 in the first place, with the PS3 games, Blu Ray, and all the other shit just being a nice bonus. When they cut that out, I and probably a shit ton of other people who didn't have a PS2 stopped caring and just got a PS2.

I'm still going to get one so I can play Last Guardian, but I'm not going to be happy about it.

[Fathom Zero]

Sony has slowly cut out features from each iteration of the PS3, but increasing the hard drive size. Microsoft's done nothing but add more cool shit.

[Microshock]

What exactly has the 360 added? The ability for the system to not as likely break as much as before? That's pretty good

Uhm.

Ok, well let's look at what the PS3 has removed. 2 USB ports, Card Readers, backwards compatibility and the ability to install linux.

Linux is shit on the PS3, no one cares about card readers, the usb port thing at least to me is fine, i never need more than 2.

But the important thing is that it's half the price of the original system. And God of War 1/2 is being ported to PS3 , it's not a fix for people who just want their ps2 games on a ps3, but if you truly want that, buy a 60gb off ebay or just use your original ps2.

[Fathom Zero]

I cared about the card readers, backwards compatability, Linux, and the USB ports.

The 360's die was shrunken, flash memory added. Also, they were first to the market and didn't have HDMI ports for a while. Now they do.

[Phoenix Gamma]

Anyone played Disgaea 3?
Not yet. I'm thinking about getting it soon since it'll be impossible to find eventually, but I won't have access to a PS3 till Dec...

At least Disgaea 2 is coming to PSP in 4 days :D

[Microshock]

Wow, so the amazing feature it added was it added a smaller processor? The PS3 obviously had nothing like that done because there is no slimmer version of it on the market right now.

And I guess having 512mb memory built in is useful compared to 120gb. Plus HDMI was in every model of the ps3, every model.
Plus, Linux was absolute balls on it, it's already pretty useless outside of it, but it was restricted to 256 ram and had no access to the RSX. All for what? So you can use the web browser or emulate NES games on it?

[Fathom Zero]

It also came to the market more than a year later. But let's gloss over that fact. I can see how it's unimportant. And a smaller processor, yep, that's unimportant too. Lower voltage consumption and lower heat production. I dunno what that has to do with the thickness of the console, but your point is valid somehow.

And yeah, compared to 120gb of storage, 512 mb of flash memory is rather meager. There's no way you could get a hard drive if you wanted to later, at all. It seems stupid that some people would rather pay a hundred bucks less for a model without a hard drive, which they don't want.

[Phoenix Gamma]

Sometimes when I read Microshock's posts, I imagine him sitting at his computer with a folded sheet of paper that he carries around him, containing a list of PS3 facts, just in case he needs to use them online or at lunch.

[Microshock]

The cell processor got reduced to 45nm from 65 or something, so yes it is valid, it also takes up less voltage, power, space, etc.

And HDMI is not an "upgrade", it's called being logical, if you have an HD device you're selling, it's common sense to put a hdmi port there.

Also, how is it better to have 512mb of memory built in and an option to pay 100 dollars for a ripoff harddrive versus just having a harddrive?
Ha ha Phoenix, I just like to read up on things i like, and right now, i truly have nothing to do

[Fathom Zero]

Yeah, well a cunt over a thousand miles away won't make me take any less enjoyment away from any of my consoles.

[Fathom Zero]

And HDMI is not an "upgrade", it's called being logical, if you have an HD device you're selling, it's common sense to put a hdmi port there.

Also, how is it better to have 512mb of memory built in and an option to pay 100 dollars for a ripoff harddrive versus just having a harddrive?

Because some people don't need any of that. Are you aware that many people own PS3s and 360s and don't have internet access? What the fuck are those people going to do with ALLLLL OF THE GIGABYTES?

Because, for some people, they just want something to play a few games on, and they shouldn't have to pay extra for a bunch of ancillary bullshit they wouldn't use anyway.

Of course, the PS3 needs the hard drive, because god forbid they compress anything on BluRay. You have to install EVERYTHING.

[Microshock]

Ok, Microsoft's strategy of giving people the chance to customize their experience would be nice if they didn't charge a ball and a half for a harddrive or the chance to add wi-fi or to recharge your controllers.

I feel the 360 not having a harddrive only hurts them in the long run, and hurts developers at least from what they said about it. Plus, this is not fucking Ecuador or Pakistan, everyone on this board has internet access.

This makes me a cunt how?

[Fathom Zero]

You're a cunt because your soul is ugly.

But you've got moxie, kid. Most folks would balk at such ignorance and go join a fansite somewhere. Kudos to you for sticking it out and defending your point, no matter how asinine it seems to me.

[Microshock]

I can't stand the Playstation forums 90 percent of the time, i don't even think they know how to plug in an ethernet cord.

Right now, they're going crazy because the 3.0 firmware made all the text bigger and added a scrolling news ticker.

And I do like this forum. I don't see my soul as ugly, i just do like to stick to what i think but i've been convinced before.

[Fathom Zero]

The larger font size is a bugger.

[Microshock]

They should add options to decrease it

[Fathom Zero]

I was actually looking for them until I remembered that such things didn't exist. :(

[Sam]

360 has options to decrease font size. Just sayin' :rolleyes

[Zomboid]

And the "play and charge" kits for your controllers are only like 20 bucks. Not a big deal.

[Microshock]

Or they could just have a built in rechargable battery.

[Fathom Zero]

A non-removable rechargeable battery that will die in a few years.

[LordSappington]

KNOCK KNOCK

[Fathom Zero]

Who's there?

[Microshock]

You say that the battery will die in a few years as if the Play and Charge pack won't.

Plus, Sony offers FREE replacements of the battery, you don't even need to ship the controller

Whey is shit, curds are the bomb, though.

[Dimnos]

I believe you have it backwards good sir. :posh

[bigtimecow]

dude curd is whey shitty :lol

[stevetothepast]

How do you guys feel about whey?

:x :nasty

[LordSappington]

Who's there?
NOBODY GIVES A FUCK ABOUT HALF THIS THREAD

[Zomboid]

I just realized that I rarely buy cheese now. I used to love having a few slices of marble or havarti, but lately, I just haven't bothered with it.

[Supafly345]

The controller in my pants never needs recharging.

[executioneer]

mine does but it only takes about 20 minutes aww yeah

[Dr. Boogie]

This may be out of line, but my balls have force feedback.

[stevetothepast]

It's been quite some time since I've had a good cheese ball.

[Dimnos]

MMmmmmm Cheese ball. :yum

[Microshock]

Yeah Cheese balls are good and all, if it wasnt stupidly ridiculous to get that powder off your hands.

What's an easy way to melt a whole block of cheddar cheese so i can dip my nachos into it?

Here let me inject something i like about the 360 while i'm posting, i like when a message or an invite or an achievement pops up and you click the guide button, it just takes you straight there. That's awesome, its the simplest thing ever but still.

[Chojin]

Jesus christ, get sony's dick out of your mouth, Micro.

Anyway yes, not being backwards-compatible is retarded in this generation of consoles, and anyone who might want to play their PS2 games through an HDMI connection or without swapping controllers, hooking up multiple systems, etc., would agree with me.

I mean fuck, even the Atari 9600 was backwards-compatible.

Also since when was the HDD not standard on an XBox console? Aside from the shitty versions that no one buys?

[Microshock]

Like I said, i don't give a shit about BC, i didn't care about it on the Wii and I don't care the 360 has it.

Maybe it's more important for the PS2 since it's such a big game library but seriously, the people who wanted BC had the opportunity to get it already. MANY opportunities. Or you can accept the "sacrifice" and just have a cheaper system. I doubt the majority of people will notice it, it's just all of these people screaming on forums about it.

No one seemed to give a shit that the 360 only supports about 300 xbox 1 titles.
The HDD issue still doesn't excuse the fact it's overpriced and for now only up to 120GB, I guess Microsoft just wants to make money on that and not digital content for which you need a hd.

Anyway, i'm here to be the opposing opinion. I guess it's just natural for you to hate that :)

[Phoenix Gamma]

Anyway, i'm here to be the opposing opinion.

Soooooo...arguing for the sake of arguing more?

Guys, I think we can trick him into liking the 360. All we need to do is pretend PS3 is the second coming of Jesus and we can turn this around...

[Fathom Zero]

Actually, I was pretty much arguing for the sake of arguing.

It's a personality trait. I get it from my family.

[Dimnos]

Yeah Cheese balls are good and all, if it wasnt stupidly ridiculous to get that powder off your hands.

Powder? What kind of cheese ball are you eating dude?

What's an easy way to melt a whole block of cheddar cheese so i can dip my nachos into it?

Fondue pot. You wont regret it. You can find some as cheap as $20 that use fuel. Or if you dont mind dropping the cash you can get some really nice electric ones for as much as $100.

This is what I got. $25 from Bed Bath and Beyond.

[Hangie]

Are those needles sticking out of the fondue pot? :eek

[stevetothepast]

yeah, you just inject the cheese into your arm, like heroin.

[Sam]

Dimnos, you are a real classy dude.

[Chojin]

Anyway, i'm here to be the opposing opinion. I guess it's just natural for you to hate that :)

wat

you don't have to pick a team, faggot. all 3 "next-gen" systems are shit, but i'm not about to lay down $300 for a ps3 if i still won't be able to play any of my ps2 games after the exchange. that's... wonderful that backwards-compatibility doesn't apply to you? i don't believe you were polled.

the only games i'm really playing right now are the on the original xbox and gamecube while I pedal a bike. i guess i win, since i'm actually improving myself in practical ways, as opposed to enriching myself by proxy to the teat of a mega-corporation.

enjoy your guitar hero 5, 6, 7, 9000, et al. lawl. oh, and your upcoming ripoff waggle controls.

can't wait until you grow up and do the same shit with political parties!

[Dimnos]

I try man. ;)

[Guitar Woman]

Are you gonna go all OAO with this fitness shit

[Microshock]

Didn't you have a website were all you did was review Wii games? What happened to that?

Dimnos, thanks for the suggestion but i needed a quick solution since i have a block of cheese here. Next time i'll just buy the pre melted cheese

[Chojin]

Didn't you have a website were all you did was review Wii games? What happened to that?

It failed because I couldn't get emily to participate in it.

O WAIT YOU DON'T REALLY CARE, DO YOU, YOU WERE JUST TRYING TO IMPLY THAT I'M MARRIED TO A PIECE OF PLASTIC JUST LIKE YOUR PATHETIC PUNK ASS

Are you gonna go all OAO with this fitness shit

i hope to stop before my quads inflate

I actually did care, i was hoping to ask you a while back about it. Seemed like an interesting idea if you went out to more platforms and not just the wii

Fucking hell you're defensive though

[stevetothepast]

Fucking hell.

[Chojin]

IF ONLY I HAD A SONY(R) PLAYSTATION 3(TM) TO WORK OUT ALL THIS PENT-UP AGGRESSION, WITH HARD-HITTING TITLES LIKE---

That bot is still a better poster than Microshock.

He's also a better troll than you

I don't have to troll. People like me.

:confused:

[Fathom Zero]

Exactly; Al Franken.

[Nick]

I own a PS3 and a 360. The 360 is superior.

[Microshock]

FUCK YO DUMB OPINION

[Nick]

Fuck your console. PCs are superior.

[stevetothepast]

microcock is pretty happy that a few people here have switched to the ps3. I still feel the experience on 360 is far superior, if only for the controller.

[Fathom Zero]

Man, the controller is probably the weakest argument for the Xbox 360.

[Nick]

I like the PS3 controller.


When it was the PS1 controller.

[Fathom Zero]

>:

[Pentegarn]

Wow there was a cheese discussion and I missed it? Imma come late to the table and gush about havarti cheese. I discovered it a couple months ago and I love it. Just last night I went to Trader Joes and got a block along with some stuffed olives (feta and blue cheese). It was a delicious snack night for me.

[Fathom Zero]

Oooo that stuff's really good. I don't get it often enough, though.

[Microshock]

I have a 360 controller here and a Dualshock 3. The 360 face buttons feel worse, the D-pad is total shit, and the bumper buttons (not the triggers) aren't able to be clicked as fast.

It's an ok controller.
If it affects you that bad, theres a X -battle cross controller game adapter thingy for the ps3 so you can use it

[Chojin]

far be it from me to cockblock the Sony Defense Force, but the shoulder buttons on the sixaxis controller are fucking queer and the placement of the analog sticks continues to be outdated and retarded

to be bipartisan, the 360 controller feels a little off in a way I can't put my finger on, and I am constantly hitting the back and home buttons by accident. the Wii remote feels like trash sideways and a little awkward at best when held normally

keyboard + mouse feels inefficient somehow but has the best control

I think my favorite controller would be the gamecube's.

[Sam]

SNES had the best controller.

[Zomboid]

The bumpers on the 360 controller are kinda shitty, but they work well if they're only used for things like opening the mini-map and anything else that doesn't necessitate it being pressed rapidly.

I hate the analog sticks on the PS3 controller. Those big knobs are just not comfortable to use.

I think I liked the original Genesis controller the most.

[Nick]

The original NES controller is the best.

[Chojin]

The original NES controller is the best.

best at chewing up your thumb, maybe

[Fathom Zero]

Perhaps it's because I grew up with it that I like it the most.

[Chojin]

aren't you like 13

[Fathom Zero]

About that when I started posting here.

But, srsly, my hands are the same. They have the same musculature, same skeleton.

Why are controllers asymmetrical? I always had a problem with it. I got used to the 360 controller, (still had a weird D-Pad), but the Gamecube controller was my bane.

[Microshock]

The Dualshock is a classic by now. Sony couldn't change it because while it would please the 10 people on the forums, it'd annoy millions of others.

Seriously, its been 3 years and Microsoft cant fix a piece of shit d-pad. It's a 3rd analog stick. Even third party controllers fix it

I got the realtriggers for the ds3 and it makes it more like the 360 triggers (the one part of that controller thats pretty good ) . its 5 bucks

[Chojin]

The Dualshock is a classic by now. Sony couldn't change it because while it would please the 10 people on the forums, it'd annoy millions of others.

this is also how world war I got started

[Phoenix Gamma]

SNES is my favorite pad.

Though I really wanted the bananarang PS3 controller. Just makes more sense to me to have the hands pointing inward like that. Plus those joysticks looks neat for some reason.

[executioneer]

i dont like any controllers, fuck controllers

[Fathom Zero]

That new Xbox shit must be up your double-amputee alley.

[executioneer]

i hate that too, i want the game to read my mind

[Fathom Zero]

HMMMM YOU LIKE CASTLEVANIA

ITS LIKE A BABYS TOY

I'll agree with gamma, and nick. the snes is the best controller that we have been presented with yet.

[Sam]

>:

[stevetothepast]

OOPS. SORRY SAMMY.

Let me give that another try LOL!

I'll agree with gamma, and nick SAM. the snes is the best controller that we have been presented with yet.

[Nick]

The Wii classic controller is pretty great as well. It's really just an upgraded SNES controller.

[Dimnos]

Queers! >:

ben heck does some serious mods. I wish he sold the portable snes' he makes.

[Chojin]

Hey microshock! How awesome is the PS3? SO awesome?

[Babs]

That new version of the PS3 looks so fucking stupid. Apparently making something that resembles a toy you'd pick up at Dollar General store and making it "slightly smaller" appeals to a lot more people these days. I don't think changing the shape of the piece of shit is going to make it magically have better titles for the damned thing.

[Microshock]

Babality, what are ya? Fucking dumb? Seriously. Get a brain and come back please, because you must literally fucking avoid every single game out there to even think about typing the shit you just wrote.

[Babs]

Yes, I am a fucking dumb. A fucking dumb is what I am. I might be this so called "fucking dumb" for one minute reason. Because I'm actually replying back to your half assed comment stating something about how I "fucking avoid every single game out there". First off, go molest that shitty piece of plastic you call a gaming console. Second, I forgot how every game ever was marketed to the playstation. I guess I have a lot to learn from you such as learning how to suck the dick of a shitty corporation that does nothing for me but market shitty hunks of junk entitled "THE NEXT GENERATION GAMING CONSOLE!"

[Microshock]

Don't get angry because you bring your uninformed self in here. Inform yourself, I don't want to do that for you.

I'd gladly answer questions but im not going to write an essay about all the games for it because you cant spend 5 minutes reading wikipedia and assuming Sony has to market every fucking thing to your face every 3 seconds for you to think somethings out there

[MLE]

To be honest, I've been looking through the titles, and there's maybe two or three PS3 titles I'd even want to own. Not purchase, but I wouldn't mind owning them like, if someone gave them to me. I don't think I'd buy the system unless a cheap version of it went on sale for, like, $200 or less. If I want nice graphics and all, I mean, for one thing, the 360's not that much worse -or I could just play a game on my computer.

To be very honest, the only game system that's caught my interest recently with new games is the DS. Even Wii games haven't been eye-catching.

[captain516]

You're a girl, you just don't understand:rolleyes

[kahljorn]

microshaft fucks dumb people so nobody can hear their screams :(

[stevetothepast]

microcock doesn't have sex with women unless they give him a trophy.

[Microshock]

Not just any trophy.

[Babs]

God damn your stupidity amazes me.

[Microshock]

Yes, my stupidity outmatches the fact you cant even inform yourself on a product. I guess you look up at ipod touch billboards and get all your information from there?

I thought having the internet would teach people about things they want to learn more about but apparently not.
