Playstation 3 Information, hardware, games discussion Part II

Re: Playstation 3 Information, hardware, games discussion Part II

I have no issues with you loving the PS3. But I do find it completely ironic that you will defend it to your grave if anyone dares to say negative things about it, but yet your avatar is bashing EA. Find that a little ironic?

I have no love for fanboys (and I'm not accusing backbreaker of being one since I don't view this topic a whole lot so I don't know how hard he defends the system) but I can't blame someone for responding to the negative posts here about the PS3. It's basically the same group of posters posting the same thing over and over about whatever issue they have with the PS3 or how they're going "straight to ebay!" with their console. And the one's that seem to scower every corner of the internet to find a negative comment made by a journalist in regards to the PS3 while ignoring anything positive that's written or posted. It's tiresome and petty. I don't want one, and don't care for the console much at the moment, but I don't feel the need to voice that opinion over and over again in an attempt to convince others (or myself, I think a lot of people are trying to do just that) that my opinion is the right one. Instead, since I don't care, I often avoid any of the PS3 topics on this board because they're all the same. I'm not even quite sure what made me read this particular topic this night.

Again, I have no problems with someone saying negative things(Cons) about the PS3. Its the blatant "FUD" I take issue with, it is a pseudo defense to create balance in the argument. So say what you will negative or positive I can careless. Becuase by Nov. 17th, I will have a PS3 and a new Kingdom of Heaven Blu-ray disc, the 1st one to take advantage of the 50Gb and MPEG 4, Loss Less 7.1 audio and oh yeah playing the games I like as well making all those motions like the Wii, with graphics comparable to the 360.

And oh the EA avator I did the same thing to Kush because of the abominal baseball game. So this is in protest to that abomination called Live.

The PS3 sucks.

I really hope your ps3 goes to someone else. I will laugh for days.

Re: Playstation 3 Information, hardware, games discussion Part II

Didn't take long did it EG, HMcCoy thinks my statement is an afront to his system, when I give the 360 its props all the time. HMcCoy don't get so homotional about inanimate objects ok. HMcCoy, the games you mention are all top notch and I hope you enjoyed them. I'm not worried if I don't get to play them as long as you enjoyed them is all that matters.

That's funny that you want to criticize anyone about being emotional about a system.

Re: Playstation 3 Information, hardware, games discussion Part II

This doesn't make any sense, there are more 360 fans in this thread than PS3 fans. You wonder why they even come in here.


I just read someone compared PS3's launch lineup to 360's Fall/Winter releases. I mean, really...

That's the same commerical that was shown in the theater when I watched The Departed.

I like it. Basically the PS3 is presented as almost larger than life. It has a little bit of War of the Worlds feel to it.

couple of tidbits

Under basic agreement with SCEI, Terra Soft was granted a unique opportunity to develop and bring to market a complete Linux OS for the Sony PLAYSTATION 3. In development of Yellow Dog Linux v5.0, Terra Soft integrated and enhanced code from Barcelona Supercomputing Center, Sony Group, and Fedora in order to offer the following:
- kernel 2.6.16
- gcc 3.4.4 and glibc 2.4
- Cell SDK 1.1
- OpenOffice.org 2.0.2
- FireFox 1.5.0 and Thunderbird 1.5.0
- Nautilus 2.1.4
... and a suite of Personal Accessories, Development Tools; Sound & Video, Internet, and Networking applications.

A single-click installer enables absolutely anyone to install without instruction. Post-install, the default suite of applications presents an intuitive, self-guided means of exploring Linux without the confusion of multiple applications in the same family. An Advanced installer mode enables selection from greater than fifteen hundred packages, as is expected from a complete Linux distribution.

PLAYSTATION 3 is an advanced computer system designed to provide next generation computer entertainment contents in the home, incorporating the state-of-the-art Cell microprocessor with super computer like power.

As a guest of IBM at the annual SC2006 tradeshow, Nov 13-16, Tampa, Florida, Terra Soft will showcase Yellow Dog Linux v5.0, Y-HPC v2.0 beta, and Y-Bio v1.1. Yellow Dog Linux v5.0 for PLAYSTATION 3 will be made available through YDL.net Enhanced accounts, through the Terra Soft on-line Store, retailers, and public mirrors world-wide.

Why exactly is this useful? Somehow I don't see many people throwing out their computers for a ps3.

Here's my question, is that available to anyone this time? Didn't the PS2 do that as well?

The xbox did too. I just don't see why this is exciting.

It did? I don't remember linux kits? If you modded it you could, but this isn't modding the system.

It does nothing really for me either, but it is cool IMO to give your end users the options.

I don't know about the modding part I just know that people had linux running on their xboxes.
