Alistair Posted March 18, 2007 Author Share Posted March 18, 2007 (edited) Well, I'm from the UK, so what if I bought a PS3 from the USA? Would the games still work if I got a power adapter? I must admit, as damn ugly as the PS3 is, I would rather be playing Gran Turismo than war games (which I don't really like). And yeah, I do plan on getting a Wii eventually as well, man those things look cool! Poor graphics, but cool! Nintendo have done a good thing there.

Spaz The Great Posted March 19, 2007 Share Posted March 19, 2007 No it would be quite fair if they did that. 360 already has Halo, which isn't a game I like at all, but it is a popular game none the less. Sony needs a popular exclusive and I personally think GTA should be that exclusive game. While I agree they need a good exclusive, and GTA is definetly good enough, I don't think GTA should be exclusive to any console. Knowing Sony, they wouldn't allow it on PC, either. They are just that big of jerk-offs. Well, I'm from the UK, so what if I bought a PS3 from the USA?

They are nice, infact. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Spaz The Great Posted March 19, 2007 Share Posted March 19, 2007 Halo was exclusive from the start. GTA wasn't. GTA has never been exclusive, and it shouldn't be exclusive. It isn't good for Rockstar, and it isn't good for us. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Pandora Posted March 19, 2007 Share Posted March 19, 2007 After 3 years you always will have a pc release Here a ps3 costs more than double the amount than a 360 core system. Now is all that money worth it And please, calling Spaz a fanboy. Look at yourself. If someone here does get an orgasm because of a console it are those ps3 fanboys.

It would work if you got a power transformer of adaptor or whatever it is. And i actually reckon the PS3 looks the best out of the three with the nice piano black cover and strip of chrome but thats only my opinion.

Pandora Posted March 19, 2007 Share Posted March 19, 2007 And if I'm not mistaken you'll also have a prob with the NTSC version. But I'm might be wrong there. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Anthony. Posted March 19, 2007 Share Posted March 19, 2007 Oh yeah i forgot you would need a tv that could play NTSC aswell i think. There should be a few ou there with that i wouldn't have to worry my TV can play PAL NTSC and YUV Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Pandora Posted March 19, 2007 Share Posted March 19, 2007 I mean, the games that I buy here are PAL version and can't be played on a NTSC console. You can change something in the console so it will be able to, but I at least don't know how. A friend om mine does, so he already has one from Japan.

The PS3 games are region free so you can buy a japansese PS3 and buy a game from australia and it will work. It only the power voltages and your tv that matter. people in here (jakarta) keep telling me that XBOX-360 are better than PS3..is it true man?? Ill insert a comparison link, personally i prefer the PS3. http://www.winsupersite.com/showcase/xbox360_vs_ps3.asp Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Pandora Posted March 19, 2007 Share Posted March 19, 2007 The ps3 is much more powerfull then a 360. But at the end it's actually just a weak computer. It's has only 256 MB ram! But for gaming, yeah, good. Although I'd prefer spending the same money on a 360 and spend the remaining money on some PC upgrades. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Alistair Posted March 20, 2007 Author Share Posted March 20, 2007 Right, I've decided on a PS3. Even though to me it looks like the xbox has more memory, I just took a look at the PS3 exclusive of Formula One Championship Edition and there's no way i'm not going to be playing that! It can keep me entertained before GTA IV comes out! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Pandora Posted March 20, 2007 Share Posted March 20, 2007 Do note that what you see on the trailer of motorstorm isn't the actualy gameplay. BTW, the 360 has 512 mb RAM and the ps3 256 MB. It's mainly the CPU that makes the ps3 better, combined with the Blu-Ray. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Alistair Posted March 20, 2007 Author Share Posted March 20, 2007 Yeah, but what's the point of an xbox if you hate most of the games on it? and the games i like, are also on pc, so there ain't no point. it's only saints row i'd want to play and that'd get dull after a short time compared to gta!

It isn't good for Rockstar, and it isn't good for us. Well ok, then maybe the new owners will have a PC release and a PS3 release. The 360 is the main competitor, not the PC.

Red_91 Posted March 20, 2007 Share Posted March 20, 2007 Basically I dont think the PS3 and 360 are different in price when you compare all the add ons on the 360 that are already availabel it will cost the same as the PS3. The only difference there is, is that the PS3 doesn't give you this option the 360 does. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
GTAPlayer Posted March 20, 2007 Share Posted March 20, 2007 Well Saints Row are coming for PS3, and yeah if you don't like most of the games on Xbox 360 and those that are coming, then you shouldn't buy it. So if you like the games and the up-coming games on PS3, go for a PS3 man. I'm not really sure what I'm going for... Still I see more interesting games on the Xbox 360.

Alistair Posted March 20, 2007 Author Share Posted March 20, 2007 saints row is coming to PS3?? Well it's settled then, I'm getting a PS3!! If only it weren't so ridiculously expensive......still tho, it's worth it to play GTA IV, I suppose that's why they release it on console first!

Red_91 Posted March 20, 2007 Share Posted March 20, 2007 IMO you should never judge a console on its early titles because they odn't be very promising even the 360 was like this at first and so it the PS3 but they eventually get the good games coming thick and fast.

Pandora Posted March 20, 2007 Share Posted March 20, 2007 If I was you, I'd spend that same money on some PC upgrades if you like PC games... You'll get more power then a ps3 has. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
GTAPlayer Posted March 20, 2007 Share Posted March 20, 2007 Well power isn't everything you know, and personally I prefer video gaming. Yeah you go for a PS3 if that's how you feel, and yeah Saints Row is coming for PS3, should be out this spring if I'm not mistaken. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
