Readers’ Thoughts

March 3rd, 2006, 2 Comments

I have two readers to mention today. First off is “aces high” who is thinking of getting Call of Duty 2 for the PC and wants opinions. So all you Call of Duty 2 owners out there, maybe you’d like to give him a hand.

Second is Michael, a reader who is getting just a little fed up with all the complaints about lack of information from Sony:

I don’t know why everyone has given up hope on finding out the PS3 release date and price. Has everyone forgotten about the next big Sony event in the near future, March 22? This is the day that Phil Harrison himself has said that he will come out of silence and release all the PS3 info, including release date, price, peripherals, everything? Everyone should just take a chill pill until March 22, and after that, if we still haven’t found out anything new, then get upset; in fact, go out and get an Xbox 360 cuz if we don’t hear any big PS3 announcements at the Game Developers Conference then we’re not gonna hear anything at all.

Now it’s been a while since I read the announcement about Mr. Harrison’s talk, but I don’t think that he promised he would reveal all those details mentioned. At any rate, I am looking forward to what he has to say. But I am not getting my hopes up.

New poll: What about BD?

March 1st, 2006, 6 Comments

Okay, the last poll was messing up my sidebar too much. It was getting unusable. You guys are crazy!

So here’s a new one. What do you think of the Blu-ray player in the PS3?

  • Awesome, man!
  • Forget it, dude!
  • Dunno, let me think!

Are you going to use it to play HD movies? Do you not care? Do you think it’ll help give the PS3 better content, with all that disc space lying around?

So there you go. Cast your vote in the PS3Blog.net sidebar. (I make note of that for all you RSS readers.) Since I already have an HDTV, my vote is clear: I am eagerly waiting for it.

Final Numbers for Cost of Game Poll

March 1st, 2006, 4 Comments


StarWarsShop.com - More Product. More Exclusives.
In case anyone is interested in the final poll numbers from my previous poll asking about what cost you think is fair for a PS3 game, here they are:

$30 - 19%
$40 - 13%
$50 - 33%
$60 - 25%
$70 - 3%
$80 - 7%

Total number of voters: 336

This was one of my most successful polls so far, probably due in no small part to PS3 Countdown. Thanks Gavin!

Gambling for a PS3

March 1st, 2006, Add a Comment

If you’re a gambling man (or woman) and would like to get yourself a PS3 for much less than the eventual MSRP, check out UniqueAuction.com. In mid-March they plan to auction some PS3’s, and the way in which is done is really weird, strange, and will make lots of people lose some money but a few people get to get a PS3 for cheap.

Don’t like my summary of how it works? Then maybe this article over at PS3 Center will be more to your liking.
