		<description>Richard, you seem to focus a lot on the negatives of the PS3 when in fact those &#039;negatives&#039; you&#039;ve mentioned above aren&#039;t a big deal &amp; won&#039;t effect the PS3 in the long term which is the important thing.

Yeah developers weren&#039;t told about the PS3 pad using motion-sensor until a couple of weeks before E3 but saying as the majority of PS3 games that are being developed for the PS3 launch weren&#039;t even 50% complete at E3 giving developers plenty of time to implement motion-senor in the future. It&#039;s not a problem if only a small minority of PS3 launch titles use motion sensor because I&#039;m willing to bet that the majority of PS3 games will eventually use it in the future. That doesn&#039;t concern me in the slightest.

Whatever Sony had planned to show obviously wasn&#039;t ready so they asked Polyphony to show that GT HD demo. What&#039;s the problem? 

Yeah Kojima wasn&#039;t happy with the lack of rumble but he&#039;ll find a unique way to incorporate motion-senor use in MGS4 &amp; who&#039;s to say that rumble won&#039;t make an appearance in the future plus a lot of people aren&#039;t bothered by the lack of rumble in the pad. I&#039;m certainly not concerned by it. 

What&#039;s the problem with Genji 2? It looks like an average game &amp; sorry to disappoint you but not every game will look amazing on PS3 just like not every game on the 360 looks fantastic. 99% of people are aware of this.

Care to elaborate on your &quot;Sony weren&#039;t truthful comment about their split SKUs&quot;? After all the crap that was initially written about the two SKUs most people realised that the only major differences were the lack of HDMI &amp; WiFi &amp; a smaller HDD. You can easily add those features that were taken out if you did buy the PS3 Jr. I made myself CRYSTAL clear on here that I wasn&#039;t happy about Sony releasing 2 SKUs but I guess you must&#039;ve missed my post about that.

Yeah Sony made a lot of noise about having 2 HDMI slots on PS3 but having just the 1 doesn&#039;t change anything for me or for the majority of gamers so I don&#039;t see a problem with that either.

Saying games &lt;strong&gt;won&#039;t&lt;/strong&gt; benefit from BD isn&#039;t true unless you show me right? &lt;strong&gt;ALL&lt;/strong&gt; PS3 games are being developed on BD why can&#039;t you get your head around that? It&#039;s fact &amp; only time will tell how two versions of the same game, one created on DVD one created on BD, will differ. There might not be a big difference initially but over time I believe there will be. It&#039;s just my opinion.

I have no obsession with MS I just don&#039;t like comments like &quot;PS3 is not a next-gen games system&quot; &amp; other stupid comments coming from MS &amp; people associated with MS. 

Like I said at the top of this reply you seem to focus an awful lot on the minor negatives about the PS3 when they aren&#039;t actually that important in the grand scheme of things. 

Are you actually interested in getting a PS3? </description>

		<description>Um Gary what?  Microsoft didn&#039;t tell me what Sony had done wrong lately so I dunno what they would have me believe.  All the negative information I&#039;ve heard regarding sony has come from them and their key game developers.

Warhawk devs keep telling me &quot;we found out about the motion controller two weeks before E3&quot;.

polyhpnoy digital said &quot;we created the Gran Turismo HD demo in two weeks because kutaragi wanted something to show off&quot;

A developer named kojima said he was disappointed by the lack of rumble.

Sony put Genji 2 in their own conference, a move I still believe MUST have been arranged by microsoft insiders, so you may be right about that one.

Sony walked off stage without being truthful about their split SKU strategy, or even mentioning what features they were dropping from their original plans.

Sony told me how important hdmi was last year, and then said it&#039;s not important this year.

thats quite a few things I take issue with, and its not a full list.

Microsoft didn&#039;t make me believe sony is messing up, their own developers did. I didn&#039;t say whether or not sony&#039;s launch titles will fit on a regular DVD, but since the majority of thme will be sports titles and ports available on 360, I seriously doubt they won&#039;t.  You say we definitely will see games that will tkae up additional space, I saw I&#039;m waiting for someone to show me one, it hasn&#039;t happened yet, when it does, we can talk about it. Saying games will benefit by being developed on BD isn&#039;t true until you can actually show evidence of it. Right  the &quot;all ps3 games use blu-ray&quot; is as true as you want it to be, when you&#039;re playing live 07 on blu-ray and I&#039;m playing it on DVD, tell me all about how Blu-ray made it better. You say they will be great, I say show me something, because they&#039;ve shown me nothing.

I&#039;m not sure why you have this obsession about MS saying anything negative about Sony&#039;s strateg,y since sony has spent the last 4 years deriding MSs videogame strategy, particularly the last year.  You want them to compliment Sony&#039;s moves, if they don&#039;t I understand thats a problem for you, I just don&#039;t think you have any logical reason why. Sony has spent the laat two months backtracking, of course they kissing up now. Pick any quote you want from 2005 and it&#039;s horribly negative about the 360, are you going to tell us about how scared sony is of microsoft?</description>

		<description>It&#039;s Halo 2. An 2 yr old game that the modding community will make an option for XP owners. Besides, this isn&#039;t the same as the BD debate.</description>

		<description>Who really cares as long as it plays games. Yeah, it is more expensive but I figured it was going to be at least $400 to begin with and already had that money saved. If you actually started to save money from the time they announced the price it would be $4 a week(20 gig model) or $8 a week for the top model. I&#039;m assuming people have jobs since they&#039;re spending  over $400 bucks for a game system. That&#039;s really not a whole bunch money to save every week. Most people blow that easily on stupid crap. As to Halo 3, I think you have to upgrade for Halo 2 but I wouldn&#039;t be surprised if it&#039;s for Halo 3 as well.</description>

		<description>Richard, how do you know that all of the first batch of PS3 games will fit on a DVD? I don&#039;t know if they will or won&#039;t &amp; regardless of whether they do or don&#039;t I&#039;m sure that the extra space will be used sooner rather than later &amp; I&#039;m quite happy to pay the ££s for Sony to use Blu-ray for games. 

Gamers WILL benefit from games being developed on BD like it or not, that&#039;s my opinion &amp; you can continue to disagree with me on anything you want. The fact is Sony hasn&#039;t done as much wrong as MS would have you believe recentley. That&#039;s my biggest problem with MS. They should cut out the rubbish that they have been talking recentley &amp; concentrate on producing AAA games because it&#039;s the GAMES that will make people choose between the 360 &amp; PS3 not which company bad mouths the other the most.

When a company talks about another company as much as MS has been about Sony, that says to most intelligent people that MS is genuinley worried about what the PS3 is bringing to the table. I believe MS are concerned &amp; they have a good right to be in my opinion. 

With regards to being forced, we&#039;ve had this discussion before &amp; nobody is being forced. People will either buying at the original price at launch or will wait until the price drops. There is always a choice.

How about Halo 3? Isn&#039;t that only going to be compatible with Vista meaning if PC owners want to play that game but don&#039;t own a 360 they HAVE to upgrade to Vista? Is that not being forced? 
Please correct me if I&#039;m wrong about Halo 3 though.</description>

		<description>The most important point of the story:

Blu-ray is not a Sony product.

In fact, there more companies behind Blu-ray than companies behind HD-DVD, which means HD-DVD is the more proprietary format.

Microsoft talks and talks and talks and keeps losing billions of dollars with the Xbox division.
When they can churn a profit, if they ever can, I will listen to them.</description>
