Title: PS3 coming on 11/7?
Post by: 240 is Back on November 01, 2006, 07:55:05 AM
I saw a commercial last night.  maybe I've been living under a rock, but one week of commercials for the very great playstation 3?  Anyone know if indeed it will be out in a week, what games will be like, etc etc?

Good luck getting one for several months. 

Actually many game developers are saying that most games will look virtually identical to 360 games, as they develop most stuff cross-platform with certain graphics engines (Unreal 3 engine for example.)  But it does come with BlueRay for high def movies built in, which is cool.

240, do you have any software, programming skills?

Get yourself an XBox 360, with the latest software update you can run home made games created via Microsoft XNA:

Man, I forgot all about that!  Major possibilities there.

Plus, Gears of War comes out next Tuesday.  That game alone is reason enough to buy a 360.

All games on the release of the PS3 are cross platform.

The xbox 360 now lets you stream .wmv movies from your computer, even if it isn't a media center PC.

Love my Xbox

Japan will be first with a November 11, 2006 debut, while North America will see the system on shelves six days later on November 17. Europe and Australasia will have to wait until March of 2007 to pick up the system.

sweet, thanks.  The commercial was a series of lines and a little hard to read.

let me know if you guys like it, and if the controllability is just like the PS2.

I loe the ps2 controller, but hate the xbox.
