Anyone think that in the "PS3 can do anything" campaign they should point out that the ps3 can even used for research by various government institutions such as the airforce?

I laugh every time I see those commercials. It quickly scrolls to games, then blu-ray, then all the way up to everything. What more does it do than those two things?

Hmm. I'm personally not interested in folding proteins or researching military data.

I wanna play games, and for the life of the ps3 there has been nothing on that system that I wanted, that I couldnt get elsewhere, for cheaper. (And if on the PC, usually a better visual/audio experience.)

With games like heavy rain, GoW3, and uncharted fortune 2 being ps3 exclusives, and of course price cuts, I am willing to at least look in the systems direction.

Will I buy it now? Hell no. I just got a PS2 a few months ago, and combined with new PC releases I have more than 10 metric ass-tonnes of gaming on my hands.

Ill buy a ps3 when ps4s come out, and a decent library of games has been built up for the ps3. Probably about 6-12 months after I buy an xbox 360.

My version and yours are very similar!

No offense to the images guys, but it's better to not derail the thread even more Nomad should know what's expected of him by now.

Its pretty likely though

Ignorance should only be spoken in the pursuit of knowledge. Because out of that context, it can only be stupidity.

theory - the worse the console (not inc. games) is the more people who buy it.
alt theory - people are tight on money and buy the cheapest thing.

examples: n64 getting owned by PS
dreamcast
wii>360>ps3 slim>PS3 early
ps2>gamecube (debatable)

and PC getting owned by everyone although PC's are alot more expensive

When it comes to DC conversations, there is no real argument. DC died. Plain and simple.

That doesnt make it a bad console. It was excellent. It just couldnt keep up with sonys juggernaut of a marketing campaign for the ps2 and the massive fanbase.

New SEGA Genesis RPG in the works - GameGrep
Is it me or is their Irony the Playstation outsold the Nintendo 64, the Playstation 2 outsold the Sega Dreamcast, and now the Wii is outselling the Playstation 3?

Never said it was. It might have been the best console ever made, but it died.
