Re: IGN-Ten Reasons to Wait for PS3

Hmm... Not too many HDTV's are 1080p native right now. Good for those that haven't bought an HDTV and are going to spend the extra cash a 1080p set will cost, but not really a system seller IMO for those that already have an HDTV that isn't 1080p native (which is probably most).

Re: IGN-Ten Reasons to Wait for PS3

Halo 3 just started production in September, so it's far from done, and I wouldn't expect it until 2007, sometime around when the movie hits theaters.

Actually no, it was in very early production while they were stilll working on Halo 2. Bill Gates wants Halo 3 out the day the PS3 drops to counter it. Halo 3 is much further along than you think.

The movie will not be out in 2007. No way it will be that soon. They haven't even cast yet. The barely finished a rough draft of the script and from what I know, Peter Jackson is the man to direct.

Don't the current HDTV's have 1080? Isn't that just the resolution? I was at Best Buy today and there were a bunch that were like 1200 x 800 or something.....wouldn't that support 1080?

Not necessarily. Most up to this point don't support 1080p. Many support 1080i, but it's not the same.

Some new HDTV's do support 1080p, but you'll also pay more for them. I haven't looked in a little while, but I'd guess they're $2700 and up.

EDIT: 1280 x 720 is 720p. 1920 x 1080 is 1080p. I'm not sure what you saw that was 1200 x 800.

I love the assumption that you will be able to tell some huge difference between 1080i, 720p and 1080p when it comes to games.

I usually buy every console on release, but I have to say, with what I have seen with the 360, it's integration with XBL, it's dashboard and all the other new little things that no one seems to be mentioning, I really don't see a need for a PS3 at this point for me.

I agree BK..not only is it a great system, but the litlte things are some great cool.


I hope Halo 3 does drop the same time as PS3.

I prefer Sony so i'll get he PS3 but really who cares which one is "better". They both look great and can't go wrong with either really. The difference between these two won't be as noticeable as the difference between the PS2/XBOX.

I think so sony's online already suck and they haven't improved on it. I think xbox has to much going for it

Can someone explain how Blu Tooth will work? I don't get that part. What, you can listen to your videogame while taking a dump in the bathroom???

Re: IGN-Ten Reasons to Wait for PS3

So it's official? Sony will NOT change their online system? They still seem like they have a bunch of time...

I mean after all this criticism being thrown at Sony, I'd assume they'd do something about it by then.

blu-ray is the only positive from that list. I'm also convince that xbox 360 will have hd-dvd on there and that with that and there compressing ablity it will equal the production of blu ray or even surpasses
