The digital life convention here in NYC. NBA '07 and Resistance: FOM.

Again... very underwhelming... Blu-Ray also wasn't very impressive when compared to HD-DVD.

I guess it depends on the games and which developers try to get the most out of the system because the same underwhelming statement could be made about the 360 at times.

You have to figure that NBA07 and Resistance have been in development for sometime. These launch titles have had a longer development time than the 360 launch titles.

When are kiosks going to be in stores? I want to see this thing in action.

Oh, I completely agree... but I was just making my comments based on the impression some may have of the PS3 being the "end-all" of next-gen systems.

I'm just saying that being that I have been playing the 360 for a year (or close to it) COD 2 and Resistance are not that far off... R:FOM is head and shoulders above COD2 in terms of details... but not the "floor you and knock you off your ***" type game I was expecting.

Maybe my expectations were high. *shrug*

All I know is for those that have not had a 360 will be impressed... but if you've been playing the 360, don't expect to be "wowed..."

NBA 07... man, that game wasn't even close to NBA 2k7...

Graphics are going to be so close this generation that it could be hard owning a 360 and PS3 within the first 6 months alone. I want a PS3 as much as the next guy, but to spend $600 on a machine that I have it's competition at home which I spent $400 on right now is a tough choice. When the exlusives start coming out like MLB07, Devil May Cry 4, Virtua Fighter 5, etc. to name a few titles than it will be worth owning.

Plus I want to know how the BC is going to be handled on this system, will it upscale the PS2 games so they will look a bit better on a HDTV than they do via the PS2.

I think that Sony has been so hush hush about things with this system. If they really wanted to create damage control for the price tag + shortage of systems, spill the beans on more movies and how BC works.

Alright guys, move this to the PS3 thread. This is about Pre-orders, not the PS3. Thanks

That can't be TO, for no where in that post were the phrases "Give me the ball," or "Donovan sucks."

For those that haven't pre-ordered the Wii yet and have a TRU around, TRU is taking pre-orders this Sunday for the Wii.

There is a rumor that TRU will be taking PS3 pre-orders as well on Sunday.

I went to two TRU yesterday and they both said they are taking preorders for both but one TRU said they were only getting 3 PS3s and 15 to 20 Wii's

Re: Playstation 3 and Nintendo Wii PREORDER discussion

Great to know though guys... I'll atleast make a phone call and figure out if I've got a shot.

Makes sense since TRU is featuring the Wii as one of the "hottest Holiday items" this year. Apparently its the first console to be featured in TRU's big Holiday book.
