well in the DS case, Nintendo actually couldn't ship enough to meet demand, which is why the numbers are on the low side--for DS numbers. The DS actually sold out during Late November-January....it's a evil demon

Glad we agree

Anyways, heres some new Tekken 6 info
Quote:
*Leo has been confirmed to female by the director. Hmmm....Not sure? We'll see. The very idea that this has been a hot topic all over the net is a tad perturbing.

*Leo's martial art style is similar to Akira's in VF but with her own original style added.

*Leo is also similar to Paul(Paul's daughter??) and was made to attract people who are new to the franchise.

*There will be more than 2 new characters. I think I saw one of them in the promotional trailer and it appears to be another girl who has a fighting style that resembles Lion from Virtua Fighter.

*Was that Lei in the trailer? Sure looked like it to me.

*Stages will be very different from previous tekken and will have lots of strategic usage.

*Customization is going to be a huge part of the game.

*Characters will obviously receive new moves and new motions to make the game feel fresh.

*I've heard the game is right now only 15% which I think is somewhat believable
and an extended video interview with the director(in Japanese) shows more footage and what not

VF, tekken, all MEH.

don't like fighting games, they are all the same, just looks pretty thats all.

isn't there ANY games to perk my interest in the PS3?

I saw the F1 screen shots and i must admit it looks nice, but I hate F1 its boring, if they did a Rally version, well, I'll be interested.

I'll be even more interested if they bring on a light gun style game, i got so used to the Wii FPS point-shoot-and-scoot method, where is it on the PS3? or for that matter he Xbox360? where are those FPS games? I liked Halo but after all that dual joystick compared to wii controls im having doubts getting a xbox360 for it.

I have to wait, maybe PS3 will bring something out, but come on, at leased throw me something?

you're doing too much thinking, just enjoy your Wii for now :P

As for Rally games, there is the Collin McRae game coming out on PS3/360/PC sometime this year, or next.
http://www.gamespot.com/xbox360/driv...om_clk=gsimage

Or maybe GT5? That will have a good mix, rally included.

Who would of thought that one of the PS3 best looking titles, and best looking games period this gen, would be Hot Shots Golf 5....

http://www.playsyde.com/news_4038_en.html

The environments look amazing, but the characters seem out of place with the realistic environments.

lol can't help it. They remind me of those old Christmas TV specials with the clay looking people. I'm not a big fan of golf either, well playing it as a video game, but I may just give this a play just to look at the peeerty graphics.

Hey y'all...I've got a problem, and maybe some of you might have an idea as to the answer?

I've been hooking up my PS3 to my 22" Westinghouse monitor. The path goes from my PS3 to PS2 component cables to a Psyclone signal chooser to my quality component cables to my monitor.

I started out hooking up directly to the monitor via multi-av and never had the problem I'm about to describe.

Now, when I play a game or watch the movie, the screen will randomly go blank for a second or so and then come back- this is in the middle of gameplay or the film, itself, so it's quite distracting. Sometimes it only happens once every hour. Other times- like yesterday when I was playin flOw- it will happen four times in the span of 5 minutes. Has anybody heard of anything like this?

My best guess would be the PS2 component cable. I'm not sure whether it was new, and I don't know what brand it is- bought it online and the packaging was sparse. But it could be something entirely different. Any help would be greatly appreciated.

EDIT: OH...and I should add that I haven't had this problem with the 360, which is also hooked up to the same signal chooser and uses the same normal component cables.

But on the more serious side for your case why not just go back to your old settings if the new settings are causing problems. Can't say I have that problem, my ps3 is hooked up straight to my tv.
My old setting were through the the COMPOSITE cable that came with the PS3. That means the highest setting is 480 (can't remember whether I or P). It's unacceptable to run your PS3 in 480i. The only thing I did beyond switch from composite to component is run it through the signal switcher, but like I said, I haven't had any problems with the 360, which is also hooked up to the switcher.

Doubt I can help since I don't have a PS3 but I used to run into a similar problem (screen didn't go black it just sorta jumped for a second) anytime I sent a 480i signal through a component cable on my hdtv. Is there an internal setting you have to set in the PS3 menus to set it to progressive scan? Don't think ps2 had one, but both xbox's did.

The DVI port isn't HDCP compatible. They pretty much lie to you in the advertising by saying it's hdmi ready and all that crap.

So I still think PS3 could have a price drop this year too in order to be competitive--well they need one.

real question is if they do, how much we talking about? $25? $50? $100?
Sony is lowering production costs. Nothing here said that it's gonna affect the price of the console, as the price is already below production costs. Sony probably isn't planning to make losses on their console for a long time. Just because Microsoft pulled it of with the older Xbox doesn't mean Sony will do the same. Microsoft also sold the 360 with losses in the beginning, but they also improved their production methods, but also didn't drop the price of it for each change. Besides how much cheaper is the production for each Cell CPU going to be? My guess is $10 max. But for Sony that is a huge improvement. For one it isn't much. But when you're looking at the amount of consoles Sony makes, it saves a shitload of money.

Is it worth buying PS3 now or should I wait a little longer?

It'll be worth buying a PS3 once this comes out:

Cool, Motorstorm...


I did have a good time playing the demo (although not as much as playing the Lost Planet: Extreme Condition demo right after that) and can't wait for the video reviews to come out, revealing all the goodies in the game.


Also, as an overwhelmed college student, both academically and financially, I'm not hoping to buy PS3 until 2008...because that's when FFXIII is due out according to SE. Starting with Motorstorm, the PS3 software line-up is getting better. I expect that the PS3 will go up after many good and innovative games are released. Then again, there's always a chance, whether it may be minuscule or ridiculously high, that the sales will still fall...regardless of the consumer-expected price drop.


About the price drop, Sony may do the right thing and drop the price per unit for PS3, both the Basic model and the Premium model. Even though, as I stated before in this thread, Sony isn't losing money. Their PS2 sales and Bravia TV sales is basically negating their losses created by PS3. Then again, since I learned this information few months back, I've no idea how credible this still is.
