Also, i read a review (by someone i actually trust) that threw a ton of files at the ps3 in the sd card reader and coudln’t get over 1/2 of them to work… you can throw any file type at the xbox and it’ll do something with it. > > the whole controller thing sucks… i heard the graphics are nice and some people claim some things (like the glass breaking in some shooting game) is ‘better’ than xbox… but who knows, that’s why i was asking. the whole price is just too much… you can get a full xbox premium package AND hd dvd player for less than the ps3. > > the xbox is coming out wtih a revision2 model… it’s going to have a true hdmi out (which is the only thing it’s missing from the current model)… the hd dvd add on’s are dropping in price (under 200) and it does all upscaling, games and movies… I’ve always been a playstation fan, but in the past years have seen the light with the xbox… > > proprietary games are soon a thing of the past… the latest hype is that the ps3 is losing the final fantasy series… who knows what is going to be next. > > out of all the hd movie systems, 650,000 americans have them, some 40,000 have players, 300,000 have blue ray and 310,000 have hd dvd add-on drives… so the high-def market is going to be scary in the next year or so. i hear you…i’m in no rush. & i’m not a hardcore gamer that plays like 4-5hrs a day. i probably play that a week or less. as far as upscaling that is pretty stupid, but i have a upscaling DVD player now so no biggie it would stay on duty & the PS3 would just be games & blueray. the thing that i think Ps3 has over xbox is that it is an internal blueray reader…meaning that developers have the ability to program with pretty much no limitation due to the size of the blueray. from what i read there are only a few games that are close to meeting the ceiling of the DVD size storage. but just think 3-4yrs from now. since xbox is just a DVD reader & the HD ad-on is player only…they pigeon holed themselves to DVD size games. yes there is a chance that they may not develop games that flow over the normal DVD size…BUT PS3 gives them that flexability & option to explore developing games that start to unilize that space. imagine a GTA game developed on a media bigger then a DVD…it would put san-andreas to shame. like i said it may never be an issue but from articles i read…developers have show intrested in testing waters of larger games on the blueray discs. --- _[View the full topic](https://forums.speedlife.net/t/playstation-3-network-names/187047)._
