PS3 or 360?! Going nuts here!

[Krallis]

Got BRiNK the other day. Its pretty damn good if your a fan of online/multiplayer games.
There seems to be some issues that other people have experienced by the only issue I experienced was a minor graphical glitch due to archaic drivers, which was easily fixed.

the welcome back program is up now. 1 free month of psplus, 2 free ps3 game downloads (out of 6), and 2 psp downloads (out of 4).

Aye, I got Little Big Planet and Wipeout HD + Fury

No surprises at Sony's E3 press conference, but one item got me really excited. The new PS3 3D monitor. It's only $500 with Resistance 3 and glasses, so it's a pretty damn good deal. Combine it with the new PS3 wireless headphones with 7.1 surround for only $150 USD, I think, and you got yourself a decent gaming setup. The only problem I see right now, is that we probably won't even get the monitor here. And even if we do, the stand alone price will probably be at least $1000 USD. Funny fact, the 360 is $450 USD here, the Wii is $400 I believe, and the PS3 is something around $500. I hate this country.

See, I thought $500 was expensive for a 24" screen. It's awesome that it does "player independent projection", but when I can go and buy a 50" 3D TV for $899, I just think it works better for me to go big. Of course, I have my own house and am not pinned up in a college dorm or basement room like some gamers. But still, I was surprised to see that cost so much. I was hoping for $349. Unrealistic, maybe, but seeing as how they're able to sell the Vita for $249, it's not out of the question.

Several years ago, Al Gore invented something called the internet. It's pretty cool. You can even watch live events without tickets. /s

cool story, but it could of used a Ninja.

hahaha

I think the cheapest 3D TV I saw here was $1500, 42". 50" TVs are at least $3000. And while I'm talking about how everything is ten times expensive here than in the US, iPhone 4 is $1200-1400. Even in the UK the prices are lower for electronics, yet the wages there are five times higher.
Anyway, I just thought it was a really cool deal.

Well, I'm buying it, if I can use it as a computer monitor, too.

I'm sure you can.

If the new Wii console is as powerful as the PS3 and 360, Sony is in trouble. Xbox has Kinect, WiiU has the controller and all the PS3 has is stupid Move. I would much rather play third party games with some cool extra features, like commanding your squad in ME3 using your voice (Kinect), or have a second screen in your hands with some neat stuff on it (WiiU).

THe WiiU has a lot more potential than Kinect, and it's true that Move was pretty much a bust. But so far, the extra features these things add don't blur the line enough for me to actually want to use them. The WiiU's impressive feature is how it communicates with the "TV". If Apple would make an iPad that behaves like that, it would kill everything else on the market. If Sony would make the PS3 stream wirelessly to the Vita, I think they'd stay right in the game. I'd much rather have a Vita that communicates to the TV than a WiiU.
