I have had both the first and second but I just never enjoyed the majority of their games. Resident evil was the only reason for ever owning a Playstation.

The RPG Library is the biggest on the playstation consoles thus was why I went with it. I won't get a Ps3 though it is just a waste to get it now when in 2 years it'll be worth what 200 or 300$?

If the price drops, then I might get the PS3. I already got the PS2, but there are some pretty interesting games for the PS3.

By the way, I need to ask a stupid question. I know that Devil May Cry 4 is being released for the PS3, but is it also being release for the PS2?

Nope, it's PS3 exclusive.

On the plus side, Nero (The DMC version of Metal Gear's Raiden) is going to be voiced by Johnny Yong Bosch, who not only did the voice for Vash in Trigun, but he was also a Power Ranger.

either way, come the end of the summer holidays (possibly earlier, depends on how quickly i get a job, id pay £425 for the ps3, why, because i want it. simple answer. plus i like the look of most of the games that are going to be released for it.

Great choice for a Voice Actor.

A $600 vido game system had better provide a whole lot of satisfaction.

..oral satisfaction.

A bit slow on the uptake there, thats already been stated many many times.

where was it posted about the porn industry in this topic? I reread it 2 times just to make sure it wasn't said and I don't even see it once.

In this topic? Nowhere. It's been said before, though.

So has the Blu-Ray/Betamax comparison.

The porn industry is going HDDVD, not Bluray. I'm not sure if the Beta/BR comparison is a good one, because Beta actually had higher quality than VHS. VHS is just the one that caught on and people used. Bluray is more of a strange idea of Sony's that basically can't work out well for them.

According to what I read on Wiki one day when I was bored, VHS also beat out Beta cause it could hold an extra hour of footage at that time. Most beta stuff was 1 hour, and VHS was 2 hours, which of course is what most movies clock in at. So that also kind of factored into VHS's dominance.

Personally, I don't know which one will take off. DVD has only been the new standard for around ten years, maybe less than that, so I doubt casual consumers will pony up a lot of money for something that is only marginally better at this point in time.

10 years is stretching it. Most people had just gotten into DVD's when the PS2 came out. In fact that was the reason many bought it because it was a cheap DVD player. So you're looking at maybe 5-6 total of it being the primary format. These new HD formats at this point in time are for an extremely niche market. Last time I checked only 12% of the US has an HDTV. And of that 12% how many do you think are willing to give up $500 for one of these new players? Not to mention a $10 increase in cost of each movie. You won't see a new format take off for at least another 2 years. And even then it won't be the main format.

Good, good... this might drive the price of the X-360 down.

Seriously though, I thought the price was the main negative about the system, until I heard my tech-obsessed buddies ranting on it. Sounds like you'd really only want it if -

1) Your PS2 gave out and you couldn't replace it.
2) There is a platform exclusive game you're obsessed with.
3) Someone holds you at gun point and demands that you take it.

Yeah, that's a good factor, too!
