I see. I try to be helpful by pointing out where people have got info wrong (e.g. sales figures, company valuations etc.), or by urging people to find information for themselves rather than rely on speculation and biased opinion, and I get nothing but 'he must be fanboy'. I actually didn't indend on buying any of the new consoles but I might actually get a PS3 now because it seems there may be a lot more free thinkers using them and a lot less sheep.

Well, if you don't read the stories you link to in your own posts properly, I can't expect you to read other peoples I suppose.
Quote: "Do you think everything that's been announced in this thread is just heresay and non-factual, biased, etc.? If they're true, then they're true! Please point me to the articles with which you have linked to which say none of it is true."
I never said
none of it is true, I said the majority of what has been written here is from peoples opinions, misinterpretation of reports or guess work. You will no doubt read whatever you want into that so repeating myself is pointless.
Lets start with your very first posting -
Why are they continuously stooping to such lows, i.e. blatant lies?. 'Blatant lies'? This would mean that they knowingly printed false information. How can you possibly know that? You can't, it could have been an accident by them, or by Emmy, or by someone in between. Therefore what you wrote was not true. It was speculation.
Do you honestly think comments in this thread like
'ps3 sucks' is fact rather than personal opinion? Mmmm.
Quote: "Uh, yah, because according to the major game blogs Resistance is the "must-have" title for PS3."
And you only play games which blog sites praise? Shame.
Quote: "Can you let me know of any games that are out right now for PS3 that I should try instead?"
Once more with feeling... its not out here yet! When its been out over here a year (like the 360 has there), ask me again.
Quote: "Okay *noww* I understand. My sources are second hand interpreted postings, but your sources are legitimately backed up and notarized by Harvard lawyers. Got it."
Yeah, because that's what I said
Your ability to read amazing things from simple sentences does amuse me.
Quote: "Care to comment, or are you convinced larger capacity discs = better games?"
And neither does faster access = better games. More storage space could = bigger games and better quality video footage.
Quote: "Alright, since you brought it up, list out how each of those are superior to the 360s with your top secret sources then get back to me."
Nothing top secret, just good research again.
The optical drive in the PS3 is 'next gen'. The one in the 360 isn't. It can store more which allows for bigger games and longer sequences of top quality video, as well as supporting more disc formats.
The controllers contain motion sensor technology. It is a shame they don't have rumble but then that technology is not exactly 'next gen' either, is it.
The floating point perfomance is much better. See the test results everywhere.
The gigabit networking hardware in the PS3 has one socket for network in, and two for network through/out. This allows it to act as a switch/hub and also to act as a network server/controller for other devices in the future (such as an IP camera or other network peripherals at gigabit speeds). It also has a built-in wireless network adapter, which the 360 doesn't.
Quote: "What I don't understand is how people like yourself can defend a brand until your dying day as if you're defending your own grandmother."
I am not defending the brand. I don't care about the Sony name and I don't own much made by them. All I am trying to do is to point out that if the company makes mistakes (who hasn't) then it doesn't automatically mean they have deliberately deceived everyone and their consoles must be based on lies. Admitedly
you haven't actually said the PS3 is inferior but others have.
Please don't ask me to go through this thread again asking for links and such... just read it without inserting your own meanings. It will save us both a lot of time.
