Why I Like My 600$ More Than I Do The PS3

- Awesome graphics, but it's like they charged per pixel.
- The plain ridicoulous claims. 4D... my ass...
- The hardware bugs (I'd rather not have a new console short out the second I bring it out of the box, thank you)
- The fact that it's ridicoulously overpriced
- Ridicoulously overpriced
- Did I mention ridicoulously overpriced?

Sony killed it's brand. It dreamt too high and blew things up too big. They took the Playstation 2, gave it liposuction, tore out it's innards and replaced them with supposedly better but actually horribly flawed new organs/hardware, gave it a shiny new case, and then... told everyone it would have 4D imaging.

4D!

Thank you, but I already have 4D. I EAT in 4D.

I BREATHE in 4D.

The fourth dimension is time. In time, I breathe, in time, I eat.

I DON'T NEED A CONSOLE TO SHOW ME WHAT IT'S LIKE.

And given that all consoles are in time WITH me (otherwise they would be static and would probably never even appear) they're ALL technically 4D.

That's what irks me the most. It's like they just got some random gofer to make up catchphrases for their new technology.

Oh, and while Sony reclines in it's big, luxurious office chairs as PS3 sales creep along, the Wii has nearly doubled it's sales, and they still don't even think it's a threat.

I would love to have something like the PS3, with all the power, but I would much rather save that 600$ and spend it on... you know... games? Cheaper consoles that focus more on gameplay mechanics than just making everything look cool?

I would love to have something with the graphical power of the PS3. However, I would love to have my 600$ still more. I would love to spend that 600$ on the Wii more, since then I can buy the console, four remotes, and a plethora of games.

With the PS3, that's barely enough to buy the console.

Guess what I, as a low-budget gamer, would prefer? Just what I said there.

WII > PS3. If nothing more than versus price. Someone needs to go up to Sony and stamp that on their forehead until they get it. I CANNOT PAY 600$. I WILL NOT PAY 600$ FOR A VIDEO GAMING CONSOLE.

Okay, rant's over. Now discuss!

Welcome!

I love BYOND so much I guess I just had to go and get myself a shiny new member page and keep the site going just a bit longer. Thankfully PayPal worked.

Yes, yes, the stylesheet looks horrible but I don't really care at the moment, since I barely gave it a once-over on the CSS but didn't want it to just be the default.

I'm a 15-year old (well, 15 this year - yes, surprisingly young) male living in Newfoundland with a penchant for all things nerdish, which I wear like a badge of honor on my FOREHEAD. Metaphorically. I'm interested, in a serious list as opposed to the rather insane one off to the right, in computer programming, BYOND programming, video games, Dungeons and Dragons (stop laughing, it's a good game), and... something... involving... lasers, space, epicness, and funniness. Oh, and some bookshelves.

Can't forget the bookshelves.

I pose a metaphysical question. What exactly is in bologna sandwiches that makes them so utterly ADDICTING?! Does the brand I buy first using Flav-o-Lasers for hours on it until it's the most scrumptious, belly-satisfying thing ever and then watch, cackling with laughter, as my gut swells from so many for breakfast and I steadily become more and more addicted to them until I EXPLODE. EXPLODE LIKE THE SUN IN MY EVERLASTING ETERNAL... FOOT.

Have fun figuring out what the hell I just said there, cause I'm sure as hell not wasting time trying to.

On a more serious (read: less totally insane) note, go play Resident Evil 4. I finally got around to renting it.

Best. Resident. Evil. Game. Ever. And it doesn't even involve zombies per se. Oh sure, they act like zombies, but when they start growing flails out of their heads and trying to decapitate you while they themselves are decapitated, you'll realize that it's not quite the same flavor of something of Umbrella's doing. The inventory system is awesome, and somehow Ashley isn't all that annoying. At least she stays quiet most of the time, and hey, if you were being carried off helpless while some half-assed attempt was being made to rescue you and bullets were missing you by inches, you'd probably scream nonsensical things like "LEON! HEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEELP!" over and over again, too.
