To sum it up?
Gimped PS3? 500 bucks.
Premium PS3? 600 bucks.
What the hell, Sony? What the hell?
Sony can piss off, I'm spending my money on a Wii. It may have a batshit name, but at least it's a game console for GAMERS!

$600 is unbelievably cheap for a multi-core, mid-to-high-end gaming rig.
To mirror it in a PC you'd need at the very least $1200 Maradon! fucked around with this message on 05-09-2006 at 02:16 AM.

Unfortunately you're going to miss out on the best titles while the best non-nintendo Wii titles will be multi-platform and you'll wind up getting a PS3 anyway just like everybody who said they'd get a Gamecube and only a Gamecube ended up doing.
I'm willing to bet the Wii will be fairly close to the price of the 360 anyways. Maradon! fucked around with this message on 05-09-2006 at 02:20 AM.
And furthermore, I don't give a damn what "A comperable gaming PC" would cost, nor do I care about multi-core multimedia bullshit.
I'm a gamer, not a techno gotta-have-it-all nerd. I want a console that plays games, that's it.
I didn't buy a 360 for $400, I won't buy a PS3 for $600.
The absolute limit I had for the PS3, price-wise, was $450 dollars, and even for that much I would have expected them to cast the damn thing in gold.

As for the Wii, currently it looks like they've got more companies looking their way than Gamecube had for most of its developmental life. However, we won't really know for certain until E3's done.
On the other hand, I'm going to E3, so I'll get to check all of this stuff out first-hand.

Speculation. Even if it did end up costing $250, then it'd have shit under the hood and the games would look like shit. If the games look like shit, the system will sell like shit, and once again Nintendo will be left as the sole reputable developer for their console.

That's not being a "gamer", that's being a "whiney little kid". Impressive new games run on expensive technology. Expensive technology costs money.
Your outrage at this is hilarious.

Odd, considering that historically I have been right on game related matters with more accuracy than you have.
I do stand corrected at least temporarily, as I cannot locate the page where I saw the Wii priced at $250 bucks. I do, however, stand my ground on that statement as prediction rather than fact. Nintendo doesn't NEED a whole lot of other shit under the hood when all they're doing is making a GAME system.
And frankly, Maradon, I feel no harm in stating that taking game advice from you would be like taking accounting advice from Enron. You're full of shit, and everyone on these boards is well aware of your anti-Nintendo bias. If we listened to you, nobody on these boards would own a Gamecube or a DS, and we'd all have purchased Master of Orion 3 the day it came out.

The PSP didn't have a noticible technology advantage over the DS, but besides that, while shitty techology will stunt a system, the inverse is not necessarily true; excellent technology does not always sell a system. For other examples, see the Dreamcast.
All these "witty" one-line retorts people keep offering up are pretty badly full of holes.

1) If nobody owned a gamecube they'd probably be better off, as the handful of excellent non-multiplatform titles on it make it a pretty crappy value compared to the PS2.
2) I said the DS would be a gimmick but I ultimately consented that I'd probably buy one, even in the first thread that it was announced in. Today: The DS touchscreen is exactly the gimmick I thought it would be.
3) There isn't a person on the planet that thought MoO3 was going to be the bomb that it was... except me. I was flamed badly on the quicksilver message board for criticizing their "The Game Plays For You" design paradigm and the removal of tactical combat. So I was kinda right there too.
I find it amazing that the people who claim I "suck at arguing" are so frequently the same ones who fly back with emotional flames every time I point out something inconvenient but obvious.
That said, the Wii isn't gonna be utter crap just because of the low price. Wait until E3 and all the information is out there and see what exactly it can do. There's supposed to be some interesting new technology in it that hasn't been mentioned much yet. And get this...it's not expensive as all hell technology. Just because you hate Nintendo and expect it to be a piece of crap doesn't make it a piece of crap. It's nice that you have an opinion and think you're probably right, but seriously, you make a fool out of yourself sometimes.

Wait, I thought he was talking about the fact that he doesn't want some multimedia piece of crap over an actual gaming system. PCs are multimedia things, not consoles. PSP didn't realize that and DS is kicking the crap out of it.

Nintendo is not stupid. They realize that MOST of the people who bought gamecubes also bought a PS2. They realize that MOST of the people who buy a Wii will already have a PS3 or will eventually get one. A $250 price tag, to me, says that Nintendo is settling for being a "secondary system" that PS3 users will buy to get their metroid/mario fix but will have nothing even approaching the visual capacity of the PS3.
It's actually a pretty wise move to realize when you can no longer compete.

On every other point, I don't really give a damn since you're so badly wrong that I feel no need to argue. On THIS point, though? I call bullshit sheerly on a matter of PRIDE.
You and I got into it BAD in the weeks leading up to MoO 3's release because I said it would suck, and you said (much like now) that I didn't know what I was talking about. I was particularly pleased when you had to mournfully post that you were wrong and that the game did, in fact, blow goats just as I said it would.
And by the way, the emotion you're reading in my posts? It's not anger, it's humor. We've done this before, I've consistantly won. I'm not the underdog in this conversation.

I'm pretty sure what you're talking about is irrelevant to this conversation. "Multimedia" crap like burning and networking represents a negligible portion of the cost of a console.

Because I was excited about the game and you were shitting all over it for stupid reasons. Later I began trolling the quicksilver forums and learned more about the EXTREMELY few gameplay details they were letting slip, and I criticized the game for entirely different reasons that just happened to turn out to be the legitimate ones.

I guess it's possible that Nintendo has some ultra miracle technology that will allow a $250 budget box to surpass the visual capacity of a multi-core $600 one, but I find the idea unbelievably unlikely.

His complaints were about gameplay. Yours were about storyline.
You stated repeatedly that you didn't know whether or not the gameplay would suck, and that the only reason you didn't want to buy the game was because they messed up the backstory.
Not the best thing to cite if you want to say you owned someone.
As it stands, I was still right about the game sucking, and he still couldn't argue his way out of a paper bag.
It's no secret on these boards that Maradon and I clash over games frequently. That's just what I could find easily, and it still served my purpose quite nicely. Mooj fucked around with this message on 05-09-2006 at 06:03 AM.
