Lol 360 has quite a lot of problems, just make sure you don't list ones that don't even exist ;) lol

It's not so much that you got screwed over, it's the pure fact Microsoft now has the monopoly in the console gaming war due to it's far superior PC gaming background. You may say Resistence and Motorstorm were crap but what are you comparing them too?

Either way it's your own fault for buying a PS3 :D

I'm not gonna sell my PS3, I'm just listing it's negative factors. I'm bloody well keeping it 'cause of what's going to come in the future, the list, listed, the negativities that we have right now.

I think I might do Wii next instead, then tackle the powerhorse that is the Xbox 360

A lot of those points are ********, but a lot are true as well... :P

About the 50 friends limit on PSN, its been upped to 100 now in the most recent update, and In-game xmb is out soon, along with Trophies.

Motorstorm 1 was great but didnt have enough tracks

PSN isnt buggy, the network itself is fine, its just that developers have crap servers for their online games. I've never had a problem with PSN itself, apart from when there is scheduled maintenance.

£300 is well worth it for what the PS3 is, considering you get a Blu-ray player and free online gaming, which leads me on to my next point that Blu-ray discs cost the same as normal DVD's in most shops and the sound quality, and video quality is much, much better.

All the crap about games being lead developed on the 360 is because its cheaper to develop for and dev's have more experience making games for it because it has been out longer. Give it time and developers will start lead developing on the PS3 because they realise they can get so much more out of it (some have already, like Burnout paradise). But this is really nothing to do with Sony and more the responsibility of the game devs.

The video review of MGS4 was incredibly funny but un true, is has been rated 10/10 by almost all the major review websites, and is quite possibly the best game ever (or at least has a good chance of being the best). The gameplay is addicting and the cutscenes are epic, however long they are.

Delays delays delays, sure they're annoying, i admit that, but I'd rather Sony and devs take time to create their products and actually make sure they work before releasing them *cough* microsoft *cough*. Btw, Killzone 2 was pushed back to 2009 because Sony though there were already enough AAA games appearing around the time of its release, like LittleBigPlanet (which wasnt delayed as far as i know), Resistance 2 (no delays), and Motorstorm: Pacific Rift (which will undoubtebly improve on the first one)

Resistance seems crap now but it was a launch title and a bloody good one at that, but now since the likes of MGS4 and COD4 have come out, yeah it does look pretty lame lol.

* 14.3 million PS3s
* 21.4 million 360s
* 24.4 million Wiis

Those sales figures are false, there are around 14 million PS3s, 19 million 360's and 28 million Wii's, and I fail to see how sales figures 'screw us over', considering the Wii is piss cheap and crap, and the 360 has been out almost twice as long as the PS3.

You also seem to be moaning about games that are crap anyway, like Lair, Heavenly Sword, Eye of Judgment, Orange Box, Resistance, Motorstorm... they were all released months and months ago, get over it, there are plenty of great games out now and even more better ones coming (you know what they are :P)

Home delays... hmm, annoying, but as I said about other delays, what do you want, it released now with 1000's of bugs for you to moan about even more, or for it to be released when it is done properly?!

I'm not denying that the PS3 has problems but many of the ones you stated are ******** :P

Every console has its problems, buy a Wii or a 360 and you could make an equally long list :)

+ things are much better in the US or Japan, its mainly SCEE that screw PS3 owners :( :(

I'm looking forward to the wii list, lol :P

Sorry if any of the above sounded harsh, but meh its my opinion ;D

Atleast you got the F1 games before us :(

Motorstorm 1 was great but didnt have enough tracks And the god awful soundtrack

PSN isnt buggy, the network itself is fine, its just that developers have crap servers for their online games. I've never had a problem with PSN itself, apart from when there is scheduled maintenance. But is it the developer's fault? Developers have to bridge the gap between their server and PSN, and sometimes PSN says 'no u'

£300 is well worth it for what the PS3 is, considering you get a Blu-ray player and free online gaming, which leads me on to my next point that Blu-ray discs cost the same as normal DVD's in most shops and the sound quality, and video quality is much, much better. Yes but it's still £300, most teens don't have that kind of money. Everywhere I go Blu-Rays are £10 more than DVDs, of course it's better quality and stuff, but it is still the same film.

All the crap about games being lead developed on the 360 is because its cheaper to develop for and dev's have more experience making games for it because it has been out longer. Give it time and developers will start lead developing on the PS3 because they realise they can get so much more out of it (some have already, like Burnout paradise). But this is really nothing to do with Sony and more the responsibility of the game devs. Correct, but we're still getting screwed over arn't we? We'll still be getting screwed for another 2 years.

The video review of MGS4 was incredibly funny but un true, is has been rated 10/10 by almost all the major review websites, and is quite possibly the best game ever (or at least has a good chance of being the best). The gameplay is addicting and the cutscenes are epic, however long they are.

1. I didn't know that was the reason for the Killzone 2 delay
2. LittleBigPlanet was supposed to ship in late '07, a one year delay woo
3. Resistance 2 is on track, yes
4. Pacific Rift will drive me mad with it's reggae soundtrack and over the top action sequences
   

Resistance seems crap now but it was a launch title and a bloody good one at that, but now since the likes of MGS4 and COD4 have come out, yeah it does look pretty lame lol.

Resistance WAS crap, it got a overall of 67% average rating when it was released. It's visuals get drab and boring and the story is so un emotional it's boring as hell.

MGS4 is awesome, but just watch Yahtzee's video review and you will see the light

COD4 is a mainly Xbox 360 title, developed for the 360, with the 360 in mind, better support on the 360 and map packs released 4 weeks before PS3

* 14.3 million PS3s
* 21.4 million 360s
* 24.4 million Wiis

Those sales figures are false, there are around 14 million PS3s, 19 million 360's and 28 million Wii's, and I fail to see how sales figures 'screw us over', considering the Wii is piss cheap and crap, and the 360 has been out almost twice as long as the PS3.

These were the figures I looked at from another website, they are almost as close as yours. Sales figures screw us over because if there's not enough PS3 gamers in the world, there's no sight of profit for developers.

Wii is cheap and very good value for money, since there's so many of them it dominates the market and you'll probably see the Wii port of CoD5 dominating the charts.

360 has been out longer but is now being crushed by Nintendo's new attempt and accomplishment of luring in non-gamers, the 360 and Wii are trying there attempt at exclusives and although ours are going to be superior, they're gonna get the best later because there's a wider market.

You also seem to be moaning about games that are crap anyway, like Lair, Heavenly Sword, Eye of Judgment, Orange Box, Resistance, Motorstorm... they were all released months and months ago, get over it, there are plenty of great games out now and even more better ones coming (you know what they are :P) Yeah.. yeah... but those were problems with games that could be changed with a quick patch or longer development, besides, these are the games that everybody's still playing and if they are wrong right now then they are on the list. Of course I know we've got gold games coming, but right now we've got crap in disc form

Home delays... hmm, annoying, but as I said about other delays, what do you want, it released now with 1000's of bugs for you to moan about even more, or for it to be released when it is done properly?!

Apparently at a recent press event, all testers found the game to be completely ridden of bugs that they had encountoured before, all it needs is to bridge the gap between certain games and stuff and it could be out in a month, but Sony just wants to make us wait longer just so it can make a hundred billion munies at the end of the year, instead of just a billion this time of the year, but I guess it is quite reasonable.

I'm not denying that the PS3 has problems but many of the ones you stated are ******** :P lolwhut

Every console has its problems, buy a Wii or a 360 and you could make an equally long list :) Exactly, I'm just listing the problems WE have, just wait till the problems WII have

+ things are much better in the US or Japan, its mainly SCEE that screw PS3 owners :( :( Yeah, we get screwed over more

I'm looking forward to the wii list, lol :P I've already got more than the PS3 list

Sorry if any of the above sounded harsh, but meh its my opinion ;D lolwat

How is it crap? If it's crap we wouldn't of been able to sell 24 million copies, go play with your PS3 grill and come back when you've hit puberty.

It's the other way round - the PS3 is more adult-orientated.
