Sony Home launch the only recent good news about the PS3?

Just curious what current news, or expected upcoming news
announcements, regarding the PS3 are good news? I am trying to hunt
down some positive stuff. It gets tiring hear the negativity over and
over.

Anyhow, outside of Sony Home, anyone have any other good news?

Devil My Cry 4 will be coming in September. I'm loving Resistance. Blu-
ray seems to be taking off. I haven't had a single hardware-related
problem with the console. It's not all piss and vinegar...

I agree, PS3 is a great console and there is plenty to like! Motorstorm, Resistance, Virtua Fighter 5, Tekken DR, Oblivion, FIght Night, and NBA Street are
great games that look awesome at 1080P and 780P. Flow and Super Rub-a-dub (in spite of getting bad IGN and Gamespot reviews) are getting great user
reviews.

If you aren't satisfied with the current lineup of games, their will be plenty of good stuff coming out in the future like Ninja Gaiden, Metal Gear Solid
4, DMC 4, etc. In the mean time, you can use your PS3 to play some bitchin classics like God of War (1 and 2), Champions of Norath, Rogue Galaxy, FFX,
Shadow Hearts Covenant and New World, Black, XIII, Shadow of the Colossus, Kingdon Hearts, and Metal Gear Solid 1,2 and 3. Oh, I forgot to mention
Katamary Damacy!

Almost all of the games I mentioned above are Playstation exclusive.

The PS3 is also a great Blue Ray player. Get yourself a Netflix account and have Blue Ray delivered in the mail. Casino Royal is a must see on Blue Ray.

Do yourself a favor and don't read all the bad press on the PS3, it's almost all generated by people that don't have a PS3. As far as I'm concerned, the
only negative about the PS3 is the shortfall of games but they did manage to get some great ones out very early like Tekken, Virtua Fighter, Motorstorm and
Resistance. All consoles will have a small library out the frst year so also consider what you can play from the PS2 library. As for the price, it's not a
negative to me since the whole reason for going to a PS3 was for the next gen experience, which means I also spent $2300 on a 1080P tv as well. I don't
have a single regret.

Notice I haven't ragged on the 360 at all. I don't own one, my personal reason is because a large majority of it's games can be played on the PC. I had the
same issue with the original XBox, but did get one for my son and he plays it all the time while I spend a lot of time with our PS2 and Dreamcast (Skies of
Arcadia, Grandia 2 and Record of lodoss War). So, different strokes for different folks. If you can afford it, get one of everything.

Enjoy!

DMC4 is also on the 360, right? Anyhow, I just wanted to see some
positive fan news for the PS3, to get some balance. While I have a
Wii and a 360, I really would like to see positive stuff for the PS3
itself, rather than dorky high def movie format wars and 360 bashing.
Some positive helps.

Thanks for the post.

So, Resistance, Tekken DR and Motorstorm are the three biggies now
that are PS3 exclusive at this point? Any word on when Calling All
Cars is coming out?

Are you mixing PS2 with PS3 titles there? I guess you did a croosover
and started mentioning the classics, which look like PS2 titles. I am
personally concerned what will happened with backwards compatibility
when Sony drops the EE CPU from all PS3 systems eventually (like they
have done in Europe). I guess part of my interest now was to see what
the PS3 itself alone would have as positive news centering around it,
not focused on BluRay.

For myself, there is very little in high def movies that really grab
me. Casino Royal was good on regular DVD>

For myself, I have a Wii and a 360 already. This then puts extra
demands on the PS3 that wouldn't be there, so I ask. Curious what is
out there. Also, I see a price issue here. For $600 it needs to be
that much better for me. I am awaiting news on this, and awaiting VF5
for the 360 late summer.

The press is in part taking shots at the top dog and also Sony doing
everything possible to really tick people off. Comments where people
should get second jobs to buy a PS3, saying it is underpriced, and
also saying that 5 million would sell without any games. And has it
really shown itself graphicwise to be better than the 360? All these
together cause it to get ripped by the press and media. Myself, the
360 is where I do gaming now, because my rig is too old, and I am
tired of the whole upgrade the rig route.

Thanks for the message...

Yup!
Their upcoming line up in the Fall looks to be incredible!

Sony Home sounds pretty freaking awesome in itself.
Some dorks will purchase a PS3 just to run around in a virtua world.

GAMES! That's why we purchase these damn consoles for right?
n4g.com had a story a week or so ago about 10 reasons the PS3's not too
distant future looks very promising and will have MS looking over it's
shoulder. I'm too lazy to look it up but here are a few games I myself am
looking forward to.

Lair
Heavenly Sword
Ratchet & Clank
Uncharted: Drakes Fortune
Killzone 2
Tekken 6
GTHD
MGS4
Hot Shots Golf 5 (my friends love this game for some reason. My kid does as
well)


If you don't or didn't own a 360 or XBox:
GTA4
Oblivion
Ninja Gaiden Sigma
Assassins Creed
DMC4
Hell most cross platform titles for that matter
FNR3
EA Sports and so on.
