Final Fantasy Versus XIII to land on the Xbox 360? Square Enix CEO clarifies
During yesterday’s Square Enix financial call, CEO Yoichi Wada was asked by a reporter if Final Fantasy Versus XIII could land on the Xbox 360. Wada’s response surprised everyone as he indicated that the company is looking into it.
Wada stated, “We’ll be looking into it internally until right before the formal announcement." Wada’s comment caused quite an uproar on the Web. Enough for Wada to actually clarify his statement via his twitter account.
He tweeted [translated via Andriasang]:
It looks like the ‘net is heating up. Versus on Xbox? What I said at the earnings press conference was just that until a formal announcement is made at the announcement time, all points about all titles are not finalized.
It appears that Wada is basically saying that he gave a general answer because the title has not been formally announced. However, I wouldn’t be surprised to see Versus or any of Square Enix’s future "exclusives†land on the other console.

I have no doubt that Square Enix will disappoint their fans. They’ve been pretty consistent lately.
Hope I’m wrong though.
May 19th, 2010
It’s irrelevant really, whether it happens of not. Sony got their PS3 boost in Japan from FFXIII, and MS got their FFXIII bundle.
Versus is going to push very little hardware in any region.
May 19th, 2010
If it’s anything like FFXIII then I’ll pass on both systems. FFXIII ended up like a giant math puzzle;
If user a has x, y and z paradigms and b HP, what paradigm combination would it take to defeat a boss with c HP and d, e, and f abilities?
May 19th, 2010
See, ^that’s why I’m not into RPG’s
May 19th, 2010
wow, i was really looking into this but on the 360 means another shitty SE release…… DAMN IT
May 19th, 2010
Haha… disappointed Sony fanboys simply because it is not a Sony exlcusive.
May 19th, 2010
@lock_down
Have you tried Borderlands? It’s considered an RPS, which stands for Role Playing Shooter lmao.
Very little math involved lol. IT all boils down to Which gun has more damage and how strong is your shield. And a little bit of enemy level thrown in.
You run around and shoot shit and level up. Its a fun game. Even more awsome when you play it online with up to 4 people.
May 19th, 2010
Square-Enix is going to destroy this game too wow they only care about money they don’t give a shit about quality or fun. White Knight Chronicles 2 for PS3 owners.

just bought WKC for $11
Im gussing CarlB is calling Harry a Sony fanboy?
CarlB, you have not even played the game so you wouldnt understand why we were disappointed…yet here you are trolling about it
May 19th, 2010
Is not even official. It might still not come to any other console.
May 19th, 2010
@Roca
I thought you already had WKC?
May 19th, 2010
I passed on it at first because of the low reviews…but I always said that I will eventually try it out since JRPGs are not getting the love the used to get anymore….so even if its a great game they get low review score for stay traditional to the genre.
BJ played it and he liked it, and since I love FF12 I might enjoy WKC alot too. are you planning to get WKC?
May 19th, 2010
I hear it more like FFXI
May 19th, 2010
With development costs of games,it’s becoming less appealing for game makers to make a game exclusive for just one system.
May 19th, 2010
FF12 plays like a an MMO also using real time combat.
May 19th, 2010
WKC would have been far better a buy than FF13 had the single player not felt like half a game.
Very cool Multi-player + short single player still puts it above FF13 imo, though. Once I am done with RDR and 3DDGH I’ll get it back from my brother-in-law. Currently level 49 second time through the levels, Guild rank 7 or 8. Its a great Multi-player setup, though, far outweighs the single player game.
May 19th, 2010
It only cost me $11, I will probably enjoy more than FF13 which cost $60.
Most of my time right now will go to 3DDGH and ModNation…..after that I will spend most of the summer time playing WKC.
May 19th, 2010
3DDGH will be one I put in when I nothing to play.
A filler game lol. A good one though.
May 19th, 2010
As long as we don’t have to wait a whole other year and lose half the game then I’m not arsed
May 19th, 2010
when I “have” nothing to play.
May 19th, 2010
“As long as we don’t have to wait a whole other year and lose half the game then I’m not arsed”
This probably is that half. LOL
May 19th, 2010
Carlb
Allow me to explain it to you:
Your still a fairly new ps3 owner, but it surprises me you have yet to break hold of the ms brainwashing…I mean, you do like being able to play online on a better console for free right? I mean you do at least like that right?
Aside from the recent releases of alan wake and splinter cell(which is pretty much coming to ps3) have you not enjoyed the constant stream of exclusive, genre defining titles that only sony can offer? Heavy rain, mag, killzone 2, gow3, modnation, uncharted, lbp…whoa lost my breath there..all these games take advantage of the ps3 hardware…face it, these games are not even possible on the 360..
Anywhoo the point is, we all know the above titles take advantage of the ps3 hardware, like being able to allow developers to stream content off the standard hd, or take advantage of the br drive, both by allowing maasive data to be stored and thus improving graphics and load times in conjunction with the hd…developers do not have that freedom with the 360…so what happens? The 360 is now the lowest common denominator…
Well that means developers can’t take advantage of the following:
Standard hard drive. That means, longer load times(sometimes) less seamable worlds…
Br drive. That means the game has to be compressed more than it has to be….which means less graphical eye candy…also, the actual game has to fit…more compression and could even mean developers cannot fit all the content…which means some stufff might have to get cut out…
Both of these are examples of the exact thing most deveolpers are complaining about: having to scale back their games because of the inferior 360…
That’s why, when a game is multiplat, most sony boys grief…we know the game couldn’t be as big as it wanted. To be…
May 19th, 2010
I liked WKC, but IMO FF13 was a lot better.
FF had a better cast and story.
WKC’s battle system was really cool, but the game was too easy and there was no way to turn up the difficultly level.
The online was a lot of fun, but the level caps were a drag. Even if you got an S ranking on all of the levels, you still had to replay and grind a lot to be able to unlock the next set of missions.
Also there were only about 20 missions, which repeated. So you beat the 20 missions and then replay them again on a harder difficultly levels.
May 19th, 2010
Square Enix gonna get paid!
Can’t blame them really, they are a bussiness like any other.
May 19th, 2010
They have said that FF13 was the highest/fastest selling FF game. Multi console is obviously the reason.
Too bad it stinks in reviews and a lot of user reviews.
If people are upset at anything, it’s not that the Xbox is getting it too, but more of the sub par results that attribute the decision to go multi plat.
May 19th, 2010
“whoa lost my breath there”
LMAO
May 19th, 2010
“They have said that FF13 was the highest/fastest selling FF game. Multi console is obviously the reason.

that is why the next one won’t sell as well.
Why cut off the hand that feeds you?
May 19th, 2010
FF13 was one of the lowest rated FF title since the early ones and it probably got decent reviews because of the ‘Final Fantasy’ title.
May 19th, 2010
I’m going to borrow my nephews copy to try it.
May 19th, 2010
It also probably got some poor reviews for the same reason. High expectations.
I think JRPG’s have to really go out of their way to get anywhere near the reviews that Western RPG’s get now.

@jojo
CarlB has been too busy dry humping his iphone to appreciate the PS3′s games stream. It’s a geeky version of sex addiction: a totally fake disease (addictions are classified as diseases) used to excuse and justify generally pathetic behavior.

“OMG ITS TOTALLY A GAMES DEVICE, AND WE’RE IN LOVE!!”

FF VS13 is the great white hope for fans of Final Fantasy.
With so many longstanding fans disappointed in 13, many are eying VS as a potential redeemer for the franchise.
But if they cut out the world maps and airship to accommodate the DVD port, I think people are going to respond by not buying.
Not only that, but it would probably kill FF’s already tarnished reputation.
May 19th, 2010
they confirmed a while back tha versus will have airship and towns
May 19th, 2010
Not if that means fumbling around and switching multiple DVDs. They’ll either be cut, or scaled back.
May 19th, 2010
What’s with Mike writing all the actual current news articles that impact negatively on the ps3 fanboys?????? Usually he steers well clear of these!! HA HA!
May 19th, 2010
we’ll have to wait and see…
I think FF13 will the first game I will trade-in in a loooong time….to me it felt I had to go through a 20hr tutorial
May 19th, 2010
Well,Con it is a gaming site.
May 19th, 2010
“What’s with Mike writing all the actual current news articles that impact negatively on the ps3 fanboys?????? Usually he steers well clear of these!! HA HA!”
He usually doesn’t write them because they don’t happen like they do with the 360.
Your just a jealous hater lol.
May 19th, 2010
I was wondering…..do any of you have Kev on your friend list
I always doubted he owns a 360 because he usually never made sense about all the crap he used to talk

“Im gussing CarlB is calling Harry a Sony fanboy?”
You really do love speaking for other people don’t you roca? Well, back here in what we call reality, you can only speak for yourself, so if the shoe fits, wear it. I’m sure even Harry can realize what f’d up this game wasn’t the fact it was a multiplat, because there have been several more successful multiplat RPG’s.
“CarlB, you have not even played the game so you wouldnt understand why we were disappointed”
I understand enough to know that some of you just blame the 360 like the little PBots you are, instead of realizing it could have been a better game regardless of whether it was a multiplat or not.
“you do like being able to play online on a better console for free right”
Allow me to explain it to you. I rarely play games online, and XBL Gold has enough freebies perks in it that are different from Silver and PSN for me to enjoy at about 3 bucks a month.
“have you not enjoyed the constant stream of exclusive”
Yes, I have enjoyed the constant stream of games for both systems.
“face it, these games are not even possible on the 360..”
Sorry, but yes, in fact, they are possible on the 360, just as the latest multiplats like Red Dead Redemption are. You never know, the 360 might even have a slightly higher resolution like that title does.
“ITS TOTALLY A GAMES DEVICE”
Whoa, Jofa finally admitted it, lord knows that intervention took far too much time for him to admit something so basic.
May 19th, 2010
CarlB – “I understand enough to know that some of you just blame the 360 like the little PBots you are”

“I understand enough to know that some of you just blame the 360 like the PBots you are, instead of realizing it could have been a better game regard PBots you are, instead of realizing it could have been a better game regard of whether it was a multiplat or not“
Except the part and fact square themselves said they were limited and had to take out content from the game, aka scale the game back, specifically because the 360 could not handle all the content, aka game…hence the blame or scapegoat, falls to ms..take it up with square’s finger pointing fella
†Allow me to explain it to you. I rarely play games online, and XBL Gold has enjoy at about 3 bucks a month“
Nice try dodging the question…you either enjoy free online or don’t which is it..as for you enjoying LIVE….how is MS giving you “freebies” when you are paying?…explain that to me and the other 20 million plus Silver members how that works? Lol and its $50 bucks…not $3…quit trying to make the sub look less than it is….
“Sorry, but yes, in fact, they are possible on the 360, just as the latest multiplats ike Red Dead Redemption are. You never know, the 360 might even have a like Red Dead Redemption are. You never know, the 360 might even have a slightly higher resolution like that title does“
Sorry but quit dreaming…RDR, FF13, GTA4 have ALL had to be scaled back in order to get the 360 versions to RUN on par witht the ps3…that is a FACT..backed up by developer comments…
And remember, these games are already built from the ground up to support the lowest common denominator: the 360, and even THEN, the developers had to CUT and SCALE back content…thus not taking full advantage of the ps3s capabilities both in graphics and storage…
Face it brotha, the ps3 is better and superior when developed soley for the ps3…most multiplats are just what could have beens…
Now, we can take it further and compare graphics on each consoles respective 1st party titles:
Answer this: where’s the 360s answer, graphically, for:
Killzone 2
Mag
Heavy rain
Lbp
Uncharted
Mgs
Gow3
Motorstorm
Gt:prologue?
Gt5
Huh?…halo?…gears?…fable?..forza?…none of those reach the graphical benchmark the ps3 has set…and the sad thing is..that’s all ms has….
“ITS TOTALLY A GAMES DEVICE†Whoa, Jofa finally admitted it, lord knows that in”
Exactly, at least now, that you own a ps3, you won’t have to miss out on games…as for me? I’m not really missing out..fable is really all I would miss out…I’ve played gears on pc, halo is not my thing and forza…just reeks of “me try”
But I can say I’ve tried em, my bro owns a 360…

Oh and how come none of you have tried dishwasher samurai?? That is one arcade title on live I would buy in an instant if it came on psn…;(

May 20th, 2010
“You really do love speaking for other people don’t you CarlB”
Not really. I didn’t name you roca, though I did say “you”, I didn’t mean “you” in particular, sorry for that… do you happen to be a PBot? Do you even own a 360, or just enjoy talking trash about it?
As far as Harry goes, I said “I” was sure, not that he actually does think a certain way.
“take it up with square’s finger pointing fella”
Nah. Not worth the effort. It is a convenient excuse though. Care to link where he said the gameplay itself was of a lesser quality specifically because of the “limitations” of the 360?
“you either enjoy free online or don’t”
Well, I suppose if I don’t use online multiplayer then I don’t enjoy it. I do enjoy how each service continues to add capabilities though, and how I usually get those capabilities on Live first.
“and its $50 bucks…not $3…”
I’ve never paid more than $35/year for mine. Sorry.
“Face it brotha, the ps3 is better and superior when developed soley for the ps3…”
Sorry “brotha”, but aside from a few graphics tweaks here and there in a relatively few games, I don’t see any “superiority”. Gameplay is gameplay, it’s either there or not. Multiplats like Elder Scrolls have over near 100 hours of quality gameplay. I haven’t seen any PS3 exclusive exceed that gameplay time.
“That is one arcade title on live I would buy in an instant if it came on psn…;(”
To each his own, I was more drawn to Shadow Complex myself.
“the 360 owners here have already purchsed a ps3 and have seen the light!!”
I enjoy my PS3, but it’s certainly nothing like a religious experience, let alone something I could not have lived without.
May 20th, 2010
“Nah. Not worth the effort. It is a convenient excuse though”
Carlb, ill give you credit, you are dumb, but at least you stick with it…if it ain’t worth the effort, there’s only 1 of 2 reasons it ain’t worth it to you: 1. You don’t like facts. 2. Your just a hater
Its a fact the 360 couldn’t handle the full final fantasy experience. Square has commented and confirmed as much. Now if you can’t accept the FACT that graphically, the 360 can’t hang with the ps3, then stfu, because you look like a dumb fool trying to deflect the fact that the ps3 is simply more powerful into a graphic vs gameplay debate…I didn’t mention gameplay…nice try fella.
By the way, in a game like FF, graphics = gameplay. In a fps, graphics = gameplay….unless it plays like utter crap. You think crysis would have been heralded as the best fps to beat if not for the graphics? I understand your point about gameplay > graphics, but guess what? If that was entirely true…why the need for hidef?
“Well, I suppose if I don’t use online multiplayer then I don’t enjoy it”
Enough said…if you don’t enjoy online gameplay, your opinion is moot from here on out about the topic. Remember, your talking gameplay here, all those other features are irrelevant to gaming and are just fluff…
“Sorry “brothaâ€, but aside from a few graphics tweaks here and there in a relatively few games, I don’t see any “superiorityâ€. Gameplay is gameplay, it’s either there or not. Multiplats like Elder Scrolls have over near 100 hours of quality gameplay. I haven’t seen any PS3 exclusive exceed that gameplay time.”
Again with the gameplay…obviously you know shit about gaming…depending on the game..guess what? Graphics = gameplay…on a another note, cutting content, is essentially cutting gameplay…I.e, affecting gameplay….and the developers are complaining about having to cut content on the 360…all because of a standard hd and the br drive….that’s where the superiority of the ps3 begins….if you can’t see that….then damn…maybe you should trade both systems in and just get a iTunes gift card and play paper toss…or scrabble…or any other “real” iphone game or app…
May 20th, 2010
“I’ve never paid more than $35/year for mine. ”
I’ve paid exactly $0 dollars/year for mine…see the difference there lad?
$35 is still more than $0…..don’t see how you can defend that, but I have a feeling you will try and justify ms raping you gold members…while you pay them too lol…
Just keep in mind a few things:
UI’s are subjective and don’t affect gameplay
Feature selections are subjective and don’t affect your precious gameplay
Non-gaming content (movies, shows) is subjective and doesn’t affect your precious gameplay…
See, even on your “gameplay vs graphics” deflection tactic, I beat you…and sorry for namecalling, I use it more for effect than a personal attack…but sorry for it nonetheless
With that said, I can get pretty much a similiar/better experience, AT NO COST aka “for free”, on no less than THREE other consoles: ps3, pc, wii….
May 20th, 2010
Why is it that ms is the only player that needs to be charging for their service, when you can get an equal/ better than experience on three competing platforms…
(Sorry this was meant to be with the above post but somehow I cut it out…damn cell k/b’s…
May 20th, 2010
“I didn’t mention gameplay…”
Sorry, but I did, and for a valid reason. It is what is important to me. Any difference in exclusives graphical appearance is only a fraction as important to me personally as gameplay. I still enjoyed Infamous, yet it looked like pixelated poo at certain points in the game (by present gen standards).
Gameplay is going to always be what draws me to an exclusive, and both platforms have quality exclusives with enough gameplay to justify time spent playing them. I’m happy to admit that some PS3 exclusives look better than 360 exclusives. I’m also happy to admit that some 360 exclusives look better than PS3 exclusives. Bottom line? The minor difference in graphics makes no difference in me playing them or not. Any “superiority” argument is fanboy fodder to me.
“graphics = gameplay”
Sorry, I understand that’s how you feel for those types of games, but I disagree. For me, gameplay is always many times more important than graphics, regardless of the game.
For some reason, you feel the need to express one product (a console, in this case) as “superior”. I don’t care to prove either one “superior”. I own all three. My 360 gets the most gameplay time, but I still don’t consider it “better”. It’s always come out with the majority of online features first for Gold, with the others following it’s lead. I still don’t think it’s “better”. Some exclusive games are prettier than others, I still don’t think they are “better” because of their prettiness.

May 20th, 2010
Carlb
I totally understand you points regarding gameplay…but, the thing is, you too care about graphics…else why’d you join the new generation of gaming? When you break down every game out there, gameplay is all that is left. The funny thing is, gameplay, for the most part, has remained unchanged, pretty much since the introduction of 3d gaming…
Platformers..all play the same…racing games…all pretty much the same, they are either arcade or simulation…fighting games…still play the same as back in the 90s…
Gameplay, across every system has always been…equal…but since 2008, the ps3 has given people more of it…via its extensive, genre-defining, quality first party lineup..
Graphics has always been THE measure of how powerful a system is…and currently the king in the graphics department, is the ps3..you, for some reason, don’t like that fact, and decided to try and switch up the debate to gameplay…
Here’s the thing man, aside from an arcade title here and there, the 360 really, doesn’t have anything I would buy the system for…ms first party games are the following:
Fable
Gears
Halo
Forza
Those are ms flagship titles…the titles that define the 360, that push the 360 to. Its limits( not saying they have just saying, they are first party and should be leading the way)
Its a solid lineup no doubt, but, on that list, one franchise I hope makes it the ps3 one day (fable) and the other I like playing for lie 20minutes then I get bored of the …gameplay….grapphically these games look nice, but only one franchise shows off the graphical “power”, and thus what its capable of, gears..sadly, its been beaten graphically by the following sony titles:
Uncharted
Metal gear soild
Killzone 2
Motorstorm
Gt5
Mag
Heavy rain
Gow3
You see that? All these games outperform the 360 graphically….now you want to talk gameplay…well I see a list of 8 games, different genres vs 4 titles…I didn’t even mention the r&c series, infamous, warhawk, jaxk series…and all these, you can’t find ANYWHERE else…you talk about how you like gameplay..but can’t see how much more of that the ps3 offers…
Graphics. Ps3 is currently the king here
Gameplay. Ps3 offers much more of it
Online play. You don’t care so its a moot point, but ps3 wins here as well
Multimedia features. Both offer similiar content, LIVE offers more, so ill give it to LIVE…oh wait…this has nothing to do with gameplay….so when you talk of gold features, it really doesn’t matter right carlb?…
Right now man, the ps3 is all over the 360…face it, you bought a ps3, and so did the majority if not all 360 owners…why? Remember you were saying 360 is where the games are at…obviously not
Anywhoo, good for you that you have both systems..you found something worth getting to buy a ps3…I’m happy for you…I wish the 360 had something that good to get me to want one….but sadly I guess ill just have to miss out on yet another halo title….another gears title…and another year of shelling out 35-50 bucks…
As far as me feeling graphics = gameplay for ff games…nice one, but that is the truth of those games..the graphics make the game, ff has always hade…high production values…for the puerpose of bringing the best graphics to you….its not a feeling..its a fact

Jojo29, We have been explaining this to HH, Kev and Me_ for years and it does not sink in. Carl atlas admits when he sees a good game like GOW3 and U2.
Your words are falling on deaf ears.
May 20th, 2010
I don’t know what you lot are smoking but your determined efforts to pretend that there is any serious difference between Xbox and PS3 for gaming is laughable.
Personally I’ve already got a Blu-ray player so why would I want a PS3?
It’s still more expensive than the Xbox in the UK and the Xbox has more games and more games with a higher metacritic score.
A handful of decent exclusives?
Be serious.

Lol ALL these game are EXCLUSIVE if you don’t own a ps3, you don’t get to play these games…anywhere…
The funny thing is…this list..is just the icing..some are new ips, some are establishhed franchises…let’s see what you come up with…prob a list of arcade titles….
May 20th, 2010
More lists.
Boring.
Just like the Pbot blinkers that cannot see and understand that every one of the genres is more than represented on each console by several good examples.
So just what is the point of your tedious listing?
May 20th, 2010
Why because you can’t make a Xbox list LoL sorry needed to say that.
May 20th, 2010
“I don’t know what you lot are smoking but your determined efforts to pretend there’s any serious difference is laughable..”
HH, don’t be stupid please, its already a FACT that there is a difference between the two for gaming: the ps3 superior architectue, coupled with the br drive and standard hd…
Again, if you argue this point, then you are just showing everyone here just how much of an idiotic fanboy, most know you to be…
But I digress…developers have already stated the difference between the two, and they heavily favor the ps3, precisely because of the ps3s inclusion of a br drive…the very reason you seem to loathe the ps3…again, developers have stated:
Content can’t fit on the 360, only the ps3
Content is cut…aka gameplay aka gaming…guess this means the ps3 is superior for gaming…
Again arguing this point only makes you look like the fool you are if you do argue this point…
“Personally I’ve already got a Blu-ray player so why would I want a PS3?”
As I said, because the br drive, is, according to developers, not me, great for gaming…not having to scale back or cut content…ah the joys of the ps3…multiplats…diff story..
” It’s still more expensive than the Xbox in the UK and the Xbox has more games and more games with a higher metacrit”
Wow, metacritic….where are all these “exclusive” games the 360 has….guess the reason most 360 fans here on blorge just decided to buy ps3s, just for br drive…or could it be the games…hmmm thhe very reason I’m stating….if the 360 has all these “exclusive” games…why the switch?..oh right so far, this year has only seen the release of 3 games for the 360..me2, whci coincidentally I can get on pc….oh guess there goes that exclusivity…my bad, alan wake…nothing bad to say and splinter cell…which will be coming to ps3…according to rumors…
And the biggest title you have to look forward so far this year is…oh damn another halo game….next years big title is…wait, another gears title..and fable 3 will be coming to pc!….so I was serious when I stated the fact that:
The 360 has only a handful of exclusive triple a titles..if that..
May 20th, 2010
Hh, you dipshit <–you've been demoted again
The list is the answer your fucking question…its to show you EXCLUSIVE TITLES…no one gives a shit about multiplatform games representing x genre on x console cuz guess what? Both systems will have them.
What's left? Ffirst party titles of which the ps3 has more genre defining, benchmark setting tames than the 360. Period.
Ffs, if you can't see that, stfu..
May 20th, 2010
More tedious whining.
This struck me as hilarious “standard hd”, meaning what’ exactly?
Lower res games like Red Dead Redemption or Ghost Busters?!
LMAO
May 20th, 2010
The plain fact is that your little (short) list of exclusive games means nothing to me.
I don’t care.
Seriously.
Xbox covers every genre more than adequately.
Anyhoo, I’m far too happy for your boring fanboy sh*te today.
Just scored myself a new 1tb Sky HD box for £149 delivered with no set-up fee.
That’s down from £499 full price and the previous best discount price of £249.
Happy days.
May 20th, 2010
Lol happy
Your just a dipshit
Standard hd= standard hard drive…..guess that’s why you don’t understand things, thet need to spelled out for you..
Anywhoo, as I’ve said before, I’m done making you look like the dipshit you are, everyone on blorge knows what and who you are, so my goal was accomplished long ago in owning you
As for your new toy: grats!
May 20th, 2010
HH,
If you are happy with the Xbox360, then so be it. Both systems are similar and offer similar features. Both systems generally get the same games. Ps3 is not more expensive than the Xbox360. You have to spend about the same amount of money on both systems to get similar features. The Xbox360 is a decent gaming system. However, the Xbox360 system will end up costing Xbox360 users more money in the long run. I just feel that the Ps3 system offers better overall value.
May 20th, 2010
sorry jojo you made yourself look like an idiot. you should of said standard HDD = hard disk drive. HD refers to high definition. . .no one says HD = hard drive LMAO
May 20th, 2010
“More lists.

LMFAO Those list are the reason to own a consol in the first place. Why not buy the consol with the best list of games? Oh, I forgot. You are use to second rate crap. I guess the old saying “Stay with what you know” applies to you.

HH what was the last exclusive game you bought?
so far this year alone I already got Heavy Rain, GoW of War 3, 3D Dot Game Heroes, ModNation Racers, MAG and WKC…..(eventually I will get MLB 10 The Show)
I’m sorry but let me remind you how blind you are that you even claimd ODST and Gears 2 look as good as Uncharted 2…..that was before you claimed Reach will be the best looking game in 2010.
not only that but you are such a fanboy that you even claim that Alan Wake will be one of the top 3 major hits this year…get your head out of your ass.
no matter how much you want it doesnt change the fact that the PS3 has the BEST looking games in every single genre.
FPS = Killzone 2
Platforming = LBP
Action & Hack n Slash = God of War 3
3rd person & Action/Adventure = Uncharted 2
Tactical = MGS4
Kart = ModNation Racers
Racing = GT5p
Animated = Ratchet and Clank
RPG = FF13
Zen = Flower (made its own genre)
Interactive drama = Heavy Rain
the 360 has been out longer and it’s easier to program for but has yet to surpass the PS3 in the graphical departmen.
May 20th, 2010
Umm, I think you’ll find Liquid had it prfectly right, hence my mentioning res & those lower res games on PS3.
My last Xbox exclusive?
Must have been Halo ODST, before that Forza 3.
Either way your opinion about PS3 having the best of each type just bores me.
Whatever differences there might be are not only minute but as far as I’m concerned simply not worth me shelling out on a new game console.
(and yes in the UK the PS3 is still the more expensive – and the Xbox 250gb game bundled editions are now down to £199 compared to £240 for a bald PS3 slim or £270 for a 250gb PS3)
May 20th, 2010
http://us.playstation.com/ps3/playstation-move/index.htm
May 20th, 2010
more expensive or not, it still doesnt change the fact of what I stated above
and that it has been producing the best console lineup since 2008 (3 years and counting)
nice excuse though, but I can understand you…you last game was a $60 add-on

Roca
“nice excuse though, but I can understand you…you last game was a $60 add-on”
“Excuse”?!
Yeah whatever you have to use to convinvce yourself.
You’re also completely wrong about my game, it cost me less than £20 (can’t remember exactly I think I paid £14) brand new, £20 is $28 US/$34 Aus.
So no it wasn’t as $60 add-on.
Try again.
May 20th, 2010
an add-on nonetheless. Thanks
May 20th, 2010
the PS3 not only gets the best graphics but also has produced the best lineup since 2008 based on the critics (IGN, Metacritics and more)
now that Bungie is gone, the only onther ‘major’ developers for MS are:
turn 10, Lionhead and Rare….laughable indeed
May 20th, 2010
There is no such thing as a bald Ps3 slim. Unlike the Xbox360 system, all models of Ps3 systems come fully equipped.
May 20th, 2010
Roca
You can slate the game as much as you like but it wasn’t $60 like you claimed and seeing as I bought it quite clearly your opinion means less than zip to me.
twilight
The point is the Super Elite in the UK in a bundle deal (2 wireless controllers & either the Fortza game or the Final Fantasy XIII game, plus the headset, lifetime silver XBL membership & 1 month trial XBL Gold membership).
The ‘bald PS3′ is just that a console and 1 controller, no games & the free part of PSN membership.
May 20th, 2010
@HH
you must be retarted or something…I said $60 because the game was released for $60 USD and that’s a fact whether you like or not. I’m not going for how much you paid, I’m going for how much the add-on was release for and they indeed released it for $60USD
and the ‘free’ part of PSN will ending saving you alot more money the long run..as for those who are looking for a HD console and dont want to spend extra money on a bluray player then the PS3 will be a better deal then your super elite bundle.

May 20th, 2010
HH, yout an idiot
There is enough evidence just on this site alone that supports the fact that, the ps3 is currently pissing all over the 360, that the ps3 has the best exclusive lineup, three years running now, is a superior console, IF you choose to see it. You choose not to, and hey, that’s okay, just stfu, as I have pointed out beofre, because you loathe any success of the ps3 and now we know why: you blame br, sony and hence the ps3 for the slow adoption of the new hidef format..its cool man, hold your grudge, but it jsut means you have a tarnished and stupid ass view on any thing br/sony/ps3 related, so I reiterate: stfu.
Examples:
Developers have already stated that games are cut and scaled back because of the inferior 360…that’s a fact you cannot argue with, so, stfu.
Developers have stated that the reason the ps3 is better is because of the br and standard hdd…that’s fact, br makes games better…developers themselves have said it, fact so again stfu.
Most if not all members of blorge who only owned a 360,nhave now joined the ps3 community
now, I know you are dumb so ill spell it out for you: this mostly because of the ps3 exclusive first party lineup….a FACT that has been reiterated and commented upon by these very people…shiit even carlb said he a ps3 for its….EXCLUSIVES…
Now what I find interesting is the same is not so much so vice versa….which can only mean, the 360 first party lineup is weak….this is simply based on the people here on blorge…i I believe this will be a growing trend from here on out…
And I don’t give a shit how much you paid for a game…we are in the minority when it comes to smart online shopping, msrp prices halo odst was 60 bucks, eat a dick and choke on it, that’s like carl trying to say he pays $3 a month for LIVE, that’s horseshit, there is no per month sub, its 35-50 bucks up front….msrp prices…shitt I got ssf4 for 25 bucks shipped and next day delivery….I still call ssf4 a 40 game because that’s its msrp…keep reaching though HH…
Again, these are the facts, if you choose to see em. If you don’t, stfu and just read and don’t comment….at least you won’t look so stupid…
May 20th, 2010
lmaoo……millions of ppl pay day 1 price and don’t whine as much as you do
just ask the 3 million of gamers that bought MW2 day 1 or the 2 million gamers who bought FF13 in Japan during its first week.
or the gazillion of ppl who have bought all 3 different version of the iphone on day 1.
thanks for prove how retarted you are…..
I guess my job pays me enough for me to have disposable income…one thing you can say about me is that I’m not cheap when it comes to stuff that I love doing. for a person that like to talk about quality specs and high-end stuff you seem to be pretty pretty cheap
May 20th, 2010
“the thing is, you too care about graphics…else why’d you join the new generation of gaming?”
Of course, but the generational leap amongst present gen consoles compared to past gen was much greater. Say it was a 100% improvement in graphics over last gen for 360/PS3. There is maybe 5-10 games on PS3 that show a ~5% graphical advantage over some 360 games, while multiplats being released even this year are still showing to be equal or in some ways better on 360.
The thing is, say I just spent $299 on a brand new graphics card, and it plays all the latest games on their max level, except for 5-10, but that difference is nominal to me. I am not going to spend another $299 for that difference. I did spend another $299 on a PS3 for it’s exclusives. I would have done the same for 360 if I only had a PS3 before.
“Why not buy the consol with the best list of games?”
The list is already on MC. No need to copy and paste a wall of text here.
Games rated 75 or above (“Favorable” to “Universal Acclaim” review aggregate scores) on MC:
360: 336
PS3: 236
Either console has enough good to great games to warrant playtime.
May 20th, 2010
HH,
I understand what you’re saying. Microsoft does have great bundle deals. I absolutely agree. I just think that Microsoft offers you more on the front end to entice you to buy their product. However, in the end, it still ends up costing you more money owning the Xbox360 then it does the Ps3.
May 20th, 2010
Carlb
That MC list includes multi plat/arcade/psn titles…we talking exclusives aka the reason you bought a ps3 in the first place…that’s the point I am trying to make..you would have done it vice versa? Judging by the trend here at gamerblorge alone…I don’t think that’s case…here or out in the world…I’m willing to bet, that worldwide, there are more people that own 360 that buying up ps3 than vice versa..

For gaming I do not agree.
I will agree it’s a little different if you really want a Blu-ray video player – but even there the prices have fallen like a stone (for intance I could buy a brand new brand name Blu-ray player and have change left for the difference between the 250gb PS3 & the Xbox bundle.
I do not use nor do I want wi-fi, cable networking is a far better solution for me.
Besides wi-fi what else is there?
The Xbox bundle gives a 2nd controller, which is something many appreciate.
I already have umteen rechargeable AA batteries & charging units so even that means nothing to me
(although for the sake of convenience & neatness I did buy a couple of ‘play & charge’ units for my 2 controllers).
What else?

“That MC list includes multi plat/arcade/psn titles…”
Yes, they are still games. Some multiplats get better reviews on one platform than the other for any number of reasons.
“you would have done it vice versa?”
Yes, the 360 still has enough quality exclusives to justify the purchase to me, and as you can see from roca’s link above, IG quantified it as 8 more exclusives on 360 receiving favorable reviews.
“I’m willing to bet, that worldwide, there are more people that own 360 that buying up ps3 than vice versa..”
That only makes sense, as the 360 came out a year earlier, the PS3 has finally came down from it’s ridiculous “they’ll get a second job” price, the PS3 redesign, and PS3 having enough exclusives to justify the purchase in addition to, not in place of, the 360. I bought a PS3. I didn’t “switch” to PS3.
“Now run along and be a good little mindless consumption unit.”
lol, classic.
May 20th, 2010
HH I’m glad you asked:
The Ps3 exclusive games lineup.
If there iss honestly nothing in the ps3s game lineup that interest you, then all good..stfu, and stop posting anti-sony, br, ps3 horseshit yet you constantly bash it and you’ve already stated the reason..which really has nothing to do with gaming:
You simply hate the fact that BR won, and that the BR board should have buckled under the HDDVD forum….in order to allow a faster hidef standard adoption rate…but the same can be said about toshiba and the hddvd ( the only true backers of hddvd)
That is the sole reason you loathe the ps3, sony and br…
But the same can be said about hddvd and toshiba…which you don’t…which leads me to believe: a) you favored hddvd, b) you might of already hated sony before which is why reason a) is there and c) since hddvd lost you now hold a grudge
I should have been a fucking lawyer…
Anyhow, if the above is even remotely true, then again, anything you say against the ps3 stems from a grudge you are holding and thus is biased and which we can just disregard anything and all you say against the ps3…
The fact that you keep saying you lg bh series player is better than the ps3, further proves your lack of tech knowledge…but it does have a feature the ps3 doesn’t…multi region…
But, that by no means makes it better….spec wise, there is only one brand player, according to the avs guys at avsforums…and their words hold mountains more credibility than your lame dipshit posts, and tha is an oppo player…even then the avs guys say, the ps3 still does MORE than the oppo player…
Now, if you can honestly say the ps3 exclusive library doesn’t interedt you, that’s fine…we all know why though..
On top of that, wifi, free online play, br….yes, those are the reasons people get them…wifi, no not the best for online..but most people have few choice…you talk like you are the exception ( not paying release prices, etc..) but your stupid brain fails to realize, your in the extreme minority….the majority enjoy br, wifi, free online and every major title enjoys people buying release day prices…
Thank you HH, now stfu
May 20th, 2010
Carlb
You only tranish youself by siding with that dipshit, you yourself have seen his idiocities…
But carlb…we were talking EXCLUSIVES…I’m not arguing with you there….you brought multiplats because…for the last 2 1/2 years, the 360 has nothing against sonys exclusive lineup…which is why you bought into a ps3…!!!
As far as 360 having exclusives…yes they do…could count them on on hand…but I agree they have em…never said they didn’t, all I said was the ps3 has MORE AAA firtst party titles…which is why you bought a ps3…
Please let’s not bring up prices okay? The 360 sat at 500 with less features as well…ms’ pr guys just weren’t as stupid as sonys…
It didn’t make sense to you guys in 08, or 09…I called this trend when mgs4 came out..YOU are now only seeing this…I’m still of the mind nintendo played this gen best, sony next and 360 last…
Sony has long touted a 10yr plan….ms followed that after they realized how long this cycle was gonna be…anywhoo, these are my crazt theories…
May 20th, 2010
The 360 might a few more exclusive because it had a whole for itself and basically most of its title were exclusive (common sense) but it also have waaaay more JUNK title.
now if you take out all the PC/360 the PS3 will have more quality exclusive……
now the critics and the media has claimed that the PS3 have had the line in 08 & 09….and by the looks of it, it seems like 2010 is going to go in Sony’s to make 3 years in a row.
besides the quality title it has also brought alot of innovative and unique games that have set the standard.
looking at the future titles the 360 has:
-Fable 3
-Halo Reach
-Gears 3
-Portal 2
the PS3 has:
-Socom 4
-Gran Turismo 5
-Last Guardian
-LittleBigPlanet 2
-DC Universe Online
-Free Realm
-Motorstorm 3
-Resistance 3

I’m not “siding” with anybody here, I just thought that particular comment was funny in and of itself, regardless of who it was directed at or how accurate it may or may not be.
“why you bought into a ps3…!!!”
I also bought a Wii for it’s exclusives, a DS, a PSP, iPhone, etc. all for the same reasons, they each have enough quality exclusives to justify the purchase at this point in time.
I understand what you are saying jojo, I just don’t share the same opinions as you do.
May 20th, 2010
“I should have been a fucking lawyer…”
Yeah but only in your own mind.
“it does have a feature the ps3 doesn’t…multi region…”
No actually.
It can’t play HD DVDs.
Until the PS3 slim you couldn’t bitstream HD audio properly either.
It is also PAL/NTSC compliant for DVD.
It is DVD multi-region.
It is also far less jiuce hungry than a PS3, even now with the slim.
But go ahead, ignore all that and whinge about how ‘only’ multi-region is missing on PS3.
Ya tedious infantile f*ckwit.
May 20th, 2010
HH,
I’ll agree that gaming is good on the Xbox360 but Ps3 is just as good. Tastes in games are subjective. As a die hard film buff,I will say that I can appreciate the player that you have because it does a little bit of everything. Yes, you can get a cheap blu ray player but all blu ray players do not perform the same. However, just looking at blu ray movie performance only, the fact is that most free standing blu ray players still do not perform as well as the Ps3 system does.
May 21st, 2010
twilight:
PS3 and Xbox 360 in gaming are not the same. PS3 has awesome exclusives games from Sony Xbox barely has support. PS3 is not a cheap Blu-ray player is one of the best. I don’t know if you said PS3 is a cheap player LoL.
PS3 is superior at everything.

Roca.:
Some also play PS2 games.
You can that the PS3 allows you to rip content from a disc that you burn Xbox does allow it.
Also if you have movies, music, or photos on a flash drive the Xbox won’t allow you to rip to the console. PS3 does allow that.
PS3 does remote play so if you own a PSP like the world does, you have access to all your ps3 media anywhere in the world. Xbox 360 doesn’t.
Free online that is unrivaled and has no lag. Xbox Live is a lag fest plus it has cheaters.
PS3 has a free USB charger, Xbox 360 you have to buy batteries monthly.
There way more things to add.
May 21st, 2010
Correction.
You can that the PS3 allows you to rip content from a disc that you burn Xbox does not allow it.
May 21st, 2010
Ivan,
You are right. You didn’t understand the point I was making. I didn’t say that the Ps3 was a cheap blu ray player. I was comparing the performance of the Ps3 to blu ray players in general. I was making the point that the Ps3 is the best overall blu ray player as far as performance goes.
As far as games go, the Ps3 system does have more exclusive titles but there are some people who actually prefer Xbox360′s games over Ps3′s games. I don’t get into debating people’s taste in games anymore. It’s a useless debate because everyone has different tastes in games.

You list is so predictable, desperate & laughably stupid.
You seem to forget I have 2 PCs
(and now a neat little laptop too).
“PS3 still does more than your shitty player”
But I only wanted a multi-format movie player.
It can’t do all of what I, primarily, wanted.
“-plays region free bluray games”
LMAO
What a stupid non-point.
You mean plays the Blu-ray movies that are not region encoded.
You might as well hold up a ‘region a’ or ‘region b’ or region c’ player for being fantasti because it is able to play region a, region b or region c discs.
Well whoopy-do.
So what?
Now what about those movies that are region encoded and are only available in other territories?
Fail.
“-plays bluray movies which are over 80% region free”
Same point over again and just as laughably idiotic as the 1st time around.
…..and I very much doubt that 80% number.
I’d bet large that is the number of releases in the USA that are region encoded, and not the % of available world-wide.
“-plays 3D HD games”
So what?
I diud not want a game console I only wanted a true multi-format multi-region video player.
When I wanted a game console I went looking for a game console.
Handily enough I found one with more games and more games with a high metacritic score.
And it was much cheaper.
It’s called the Xbox 360.
“-plays 3D HD bluray movies”
Not yet it doesn’t.
It might not this year either if they don’t deliver the needed firmware update.
…..and you should also know that I couldn’t give a f*ck about 3D movies in the home.
Besides, you have no idea whether or not the LG BH200 will also get a firmware for that, we got ‘BD Live/profile 2′ when everyone thought we would not (even after LG paid out $75 a pop to US customers because they thought it would not happen & wanted to avoid a law-suit)

….and so what?
That’s all utterly irrelevant to me.
I did not want a game console, I wanted a true multi-format multi-region (everything) video player.
That starting to get through yet?
“-plays DVD”
Yeah, so what, again it’s region locked for even DVD so it’s no use to me.
Besides Why would that matter to me, I already have several DVD playing devices in my home?
“-can stream from Netflix”
I’m in the UK, that’s utterly irrelevant to me and if I was wanting streamed HD video or HD VOD I have my PCs, my laptop, Sky HD DVR and my Xbox and Sky through my Xbox.
“-has a dedicated video store to rent or buy HD movies”
Another non-point.
I have 2 PCs, they have the biggest ‘video store’ for me to try before buy out there.
“-web browsing capabilities”
As far as I can tell it’s a poor one.
Besides, I don’t care, I have net access via several routes and I’ll take a PC web-browser over a game console’s every day of the week.
“-has Vidzone, a music video service”
I have 2 PCs & a laptop with far more open to them media-wise.
“-can stream content from other devices like PC”
I have PCs that can do that with each other, and the Xbox, my new Sky 1tb DVR will be doing that soon too.
“-plays CD”
Wow, such a killer point, I hear the amusing sound of the bottom of the barrel being raked out.
“-play PS1 disc”
Don’t care.
Really.
You could give me that for free on every system I own and I’d still have zero interest.
“-can rip CD
-upgradable HDD
-blue tooth capabilities that let’s u connect any BT device”
See my point about owning 2 PCs and a laptop.
“-has a dedicated social network space”
*guffaw*
Be serious.
All your feeble ‘points’ mean nothing to me.
Before I bought my Xbox I aready had 2 PCs and I already had my LG BH 200.
When I I wanted a multi-region and true multi-format video player I bought one…….
……and even today the PS3 doesn’t even come close.
May 21st, 2010
Ooops
In the ‘plays region free games’ substitute games for movies in my reply.
It still holds up.
The fact is there are NTSC US versions of PS3 and PAL versions.
May 21st, 2010
Oh dear, my bad….
“I’d bet large that is the number of releases in the USA that are region encoded”
should read
“I’d bet large that is the number of releases in the USA that are not region encoded”
May 21st, 2010
you are dismissing all the things the PS3 can do better than you shitty player just because you somehow does not care for it….but it doesnt change the fact that you as of right now is discontinued and the PS3 is selling and evolving while your shitty player is history.
you garbage player is straight for movies(Bluray, a dead format, and last gen format) while the PS3 can play can do the following and much more……..
PS3 still does more than your shitty player
-plays region free bluray games
-plays bluray movies which are over 80% region free
-plays 3D HD games
-plays 3D HD bluray movies
-plays PS1 Classic
-plays Minisl
-plays PSN games
-plays DVD
-can stream from Netflix
-has a dedicated video store to rent or buy HD movies
-web browsing capabilities
-has Vidzone, a music video service
-can stream content from other devices like PC
-plays CD
-play PS1 disc
-can rip CD
-upgradable HDD
-blue tooth capabilities that let’s u connect any BT device
-has a dedicated social network space
even back the you shitty player didnt even came close to what the PS3 offers from the getgo.
May 21st, 2010
Repeat you list all you like the fact is even after the updates and the slim the PS3 is still region-locked for Blu-ray and DVD.
Plus it can’t play all the formats I want my player to.
Fail.
May 21st, 2010
twilight:
“HH,
I’ll agree that gaming is good on the Xbox360 but Ps3 is just as good. Tastes in games are subjective”
My point in all of this has never been to say the PS3 is garbage.
It hgas always been merely to point & laugh at the fanboy f*ckit brigade who venerate the PS3 as Holy and who moronically slam the Xbox at every opportunity they give themselves.
Look at that idiot here, he seriously imagines I could give a sh!te that my video player isn’t a game console.
May 21st, 2010
so basically you need a shitty player, 2 PCs and a laptop and 360 and a HD-DVD add on to have almost similar features of everything offered with the PS3
I can keep going on more features the PS3 offers but that would make your shitty player look more like a worthless CE device..
May 21st, 2010
HH
That’s fine. You bought into an older player for whatever features you wanted that it can do that the ps3 can’t…fair enough
My point stands though:
Shut the fuck up then about any new news that puts sony/ps3/br in a good light..
Your opinion doesn’t matter because, as you said, you bought your game console, also, the ps3 exclusives don’t interest only you here at blorge.
Again, I reiterate, quit posting bullshit about sony/br/ps3….you are not interested, in fact, you have said flat out you don’t like them….fine, your opinion is biased and holds no credibility…so again:
Shut the fuck up you dipshit.
You whine about people here whinning….yet, you are the one posting in any news that puts the ps3/br/sony in a good light..
May 21st, 2010
say all you want the fact is even after the updates you discontinued player can’t still do 3D movies or game, does not have a upgradable HDD, does not have a dedicated online store for HD movies, cannot streaming movies, cannot stream contend from PC…and more…..but hey it can play a “dead format” (HD-DVD) that must be worthy enough of a place a the museum
May 21st, 2010
Oh HH…as for the power usage retort: get the fuck out of here
Your 360 uses 215w, your player uses…what you posted 90watts…
That’s 305w…the slim uses 250w….and my 500gb ps3 uses 280w…gtfo here on which saves more power lil bitch..
On top of that, your cluttering up your entertainment hub with the use of 2 electronic devices….your using up more than one socket..
Sonin essence, the ps3 gives even more features…it uses less power than your setup, saves even more space for your computers and new laptop, and you use less wall sockets…oh and you save money by not having to go out and buy another power strip…yeah I can see why you loathe the ps3…fucking infant…gtfo, I’m done owning you
May 21st, 2010
“My point in all of this has never been to say the PS3 is garbage”
No it hasn’t…your point has been to rain in on people’s parade..what’s it to you if someone wants to praise the ps3? THAT’S the problem with you, ANY and all posts that paint the ps3 in a good light, your there to say ” its not the best br player” when countless A/V sites say it IS the best BR player .
Your there to say BR is not needed, when DEVELOPERS say IT IS needed….
So again, gtfo, with your lil comment saying you didn’t say the ps3 is garbage…your actions say otherwise dipshit
” It hgas always been merely to point & laugh at the fanboy f*ckit b”
What’s funny is this is exactly what I’ve been calling you out for…you say you don’t talk trash about the ps3, but you do, to say to point and laugh…but what’s funny is when I called your dumbass out on this fact, you became the lil whiny bitch fanboy we all laugh at….so much so that now you are bringing out wattage numbers to try and deflect and prove your worthless point…you still haven’t answered the question of why you don’t like the ps3…
I have already made my decision as to why I won’t get a 360….and in the same breath I also mentioned if x things changed, I would..that makes me open minded and not biased..aka not a blind fanboy.
HH
How’s it feel to get owned on so many different levels by me
May 21st, 2010
As for lg bh series br player..
Like I said, you bought for whatever purpose you bought it for,
But I HIGHLY doubt you actually play and use every single format your player can play…..just throwing that out there…lol…
And really the only time the 360 is slammed, is when people do the comparisons like LIVE Gold > PSN, which is not true, but I agree that LIVE silver edges out PSN in terms of just more content offered…UI taste is subjective…
My point being ps3 are defensive and reactive…while 360 are offensive…
You seem to forget this site’s posters were all once pure 360 fanboys…its because of them and their crazy comments I started posting here to begin with, and by them from I can remember, I mean you/cad and a few others…things have changed quite nicely, CAD is all but driven mad now, most have all bought ps3s now, and you…HH remain, constantly put back into place by myself and others
May 21st, 2010
2 ludicrous little t!ts tugging away at each other with their dreary Pbot ranting.
Get a life.
….or do your school work…..or a less soul-destrying jobs.
May 21st, 2010
hahaha…..as expected, all of a sudden you have nothing more to support your delusional fanboy claims
May 21st, 2010
“things have changed quite nicely, CAD is all but driven mad now, most have all bought ps3s now, and you…HH remain, constantly put back into place by myself and others”
hahaha……it must be so painful for them
May 21st, 2010
HH
I’ve reduced him to that lol
Has nothing to bring, no more “wattage” statistics…no more deflecting…he reduced to repsonding with ” ewww pbot tits”..
What a dipshit lol
I have a life, a good one, a beautiful gf, a fun job, a good home, albeit a bit quiet with just two of us
life is good thanks for reminding me. Go back to your moms basement…wait you never left it lol
May 21st, 2010
Oh dear.
You and the rest of the little sycophantic Pbot fanboy crew just make fools of yourselves.
Your game console is not the equivelent of a PC.
It is not even the equivelent of my high def video player in relation to video playback.
I was into PCs long before I bothered with a game console.
Ditto the whole home cinema thing.
So your pathetic claims about
“to have almost similar features of everything offered with the PS3″
are just the laughable idiocy to me that they plainly are.
Your world might revolve around a game console, mine does not.
Your equally absurd (not to mention highly questionable in regard to mentally health) and toweringly arrogant claims about your feeble fanboy ranting here and its effects on anyone (you so plainly wish it had) are just deluded & preposterous.
But sadly so totally to type – and such a give-away about your juvenile lame immature mentality.
Anyone can make big claims on a m/board on the net…..but your 24/7 existance here coupled with the infantile fanboy drivel you spout say plenty to the contrary.
May 21st, 2010
And yet here you are, post away just the same…
Surely you see the idiocy in that lol
HH, you dipshit, look at what you are reduced too:
You sit there and point out my mental health, because of the content/nature of what I post..
Yet here you are….posting away with me…
You call us/me immature, yet here you are, resorting to deflective tactics when proven wrong, comparing the most minute and un important of details (wattage, seriously, gtfo), and now I have you sitting here typing ina pseudo intellectually manner, but its all a farce..its just a smokecreen for your bitch ass whinning…rofl, look at what you have reduced yourself too..
All because you just want to throw on the hate parade on the ps3..
Also, check your mental health..nobody said anything in regards to your involvement to pcs…I just mentioned space savings…
I built my own pc…a monster of a gaming rig…actually, my gf helped me build, her lil hands fit better in the case…
As for bringing in life comparisons, that’s was all you dipshit, don’t be jealous because my life sounds better than yours…and yoour attacks on my personal life and mental health are evidence of just that: a jealous hateful person…I’m not gonna apologize if my life makes yours seem not so great…that ain’t my problem…you questioned me to get a life, I’m simply sharing with you how it is
As for 24/7 …again…look at my posts..and you are there, just like the dog you are, following me, posting and trying to get a whiff of my ass or something
what a dipshit
Again, it humors me to seei/we have MADE you resort to these tactics…all indicators of your desperate attempts to point out the weakness/fanboy cliams of the pbots…
BR being needed is NOT a claim dipshit, developers back this.
A standard HDD helping games is NOT a claim jackass, developers have stated this
FREE online play is better dumbass, recent articles and statistics back this
As for your choice of BR player, that’s fine, it plays the 1-3 titles you like…you CAN’T say though, its a better player than the ps3…AVS/Ars/and countless other tech and a/v sites agree with me, but, but, if region is that important to, then you made the right choice.
But, overall the ps3 br player trumps the lg bh…that is a fact..
Its just the lg meets your needs….see the difference dipshit..
Laters dipshit
again I like tossing you around these forums 
Ill bet well hear from him soon enough
May 21st, 2010
hahaha……they have gone from debating “360 vs PS3″ to “PS3 vs many players” to “PS3 vs iphone” to “PS3 vs PC”
lmaoo…seems like the 360 doesnt have anything worth debating for and can’t hold its own against the PS3….all it had going for it early this gen was – Price and better games – not all that is going as the PS3 cost the same and it has been producing the best quality gaming lineup for 3 years in a row
PC ended up having the 2nd best quality lineup last year tho….good try there just not enough.
but as you stated, all the stuff that a PS3 can do you can also do with: 2 PC + shitty player + laptop + 360
May 21st, 2010
Pathetic.
May 21st, 2010
Ah ther it is
hi HH! Glad to see you posting such informative and insightful points….
May 21st, 2010
Naaaa.
There it is.
Roca’s typical fanboy bashing of anything not PS3.
Like I said, pathetic.
May 21st, 2010
Of course the diot imagines everyone sees everything through ‘game console glasses’.
Laughable considering how much more PC does.
Similarly laughable considering what the LG BH200 does.
Tough luck for him when one considers Xbox has more games to offer & more games with a high metacritic score.
I never once called your game console ‘sh!t’ or
‘sh!tty’ but as per you resort to that sort of cretinous fanboy behaviour.
Pathetic is what you are, moron.
May 21st, 2010
your “discontinued” players is garbage compare to the PS3 which keeps evolving and adaptiong new tech while you player does most of its work with a dead format and the dated DVD while the PS3 does many more things that will outshine all those your “discontinued” player can do, like:
-plays region free bluray games
-plays bluray movies which are over 80% region free
-plays 3D HD games
-plays 3D HD bluray movies
-plays PS1 Classic
-plays Minisl
-plays PSN games
-plays DVD
-can stream from Netflix
-has a dedicated video store to rent or buy HD movies
-web browsing capabilities
-has Vidzone, a music video service
-can stream content from other devices like PC
-plays CD
-play PS1 disc
-can rip CD
-upgradable HDD
-blue tooth capabilities that let’s u connect any BT device
-has a dedicated social network space
-supports MLBTV for watching HD baseball games
-PSP connectivity
-store pics
-can support hulu for video streaming
-can support Pandora radio for music streaming
-can support Youtube/tv
all that for $300
no wonder you need a 2 PCs, a laptop, a discontinued player, a HD-DVD add on and the outdated 360 to come close to all this..
May 21st, 2010
“Besides, you have no idea whether or not the LG BH200 will also get a firmware for that, we got ‘BD Live/profile 2′ when everyone thought we would not”
Actually to my understanding your player is incapable of receiving a firmware upgrade that allows it to play movies in HD 3D.
My understanding is HDMI type 1.0 at the moment is incapable because of hardware limitations(quite possible I Misunderstood model #).
May 21st, 2010
and the HD 3D uses a new codec that older player dont support and cannot be upgraded via a firmware update, it will require a new SoC that supports it
and just before you say something stupid, let me remind you the PS3 can do it because the Cell is pretty much a upgraddable SoC
May 21st, 2010
HH
No you don’t outright say it, your too much of a pansy to do so,
Instead you use phrases/words such as:
“.ps3 features is laughable compared to x”
“Ummm…ps3 uses more wattage” <—that just reeks of your moronic attempt to reach for anything to use against the ps3…but I turned this around on you lmao
Sorry, but feature for feature, the ps3 trumps your LG player in overall performance, the ps3 is overall a better product. Period.
Now, we can get into if it better for YOU or not…in this case, the LG suits YOUR needs…you want to play your 1-3 region locked titles…but what you fail to realize is, though the LG fits YOUR needs, it is NOT a better overall br player than the ps3…period. case closed…if someone were to ask for just a br player, no other info 10/10, the ps3 will be recommended over the LG…even the ps3s upscaling is better than the LG…test me on this please..
This methodology pertains to the games debate as well….I agree, the 360 has more overall games….about a whole years worth I'm willing to bet..BUT the ps3 has more EXCLUSIVE games. Period. This is fact. Just based on the sheer amount of studios sony has over ms..in fact ms has been bleeding 1st party studios….
This is further backed by the fact ( well keep this example to just blorge members) that most people here have who have owned 360s are now buying ps3…precisely because of the ps3 EXCLUSIVES…
In the end HH, you just keep showing how idiotic you are…
Keep posting though
May 21st, 2010
Roma he has the LG BH 200 series I believe???
May 21st, 2010
Roca
Spam away, like anyone cares.
RomasantaMC
“My understanding is HDMI type 1.0″
Well you’re wrong.
The LG BH200 has HDMI 1.3
http://www.lg.com/us/tv-audio-video/video/LG-blu-ray-dvd-player-BH200.jsp
Roca is simply just BS’ing without any credible source to back up his claim.
Personally I don’t know one way or the other, but then neither does he.
It’s just more pathetic bashing.
Next.
May 21st, 2010
Laughable claims aside the LG has one of the best upscaling chipsets out there.
The QDEO is on a par with REON.
But what would you guys know about it?
May 21st, 2010
“Roca is simply just BS’ing without any credible source to back up his claim”
hahaha…this is well known you idiot. if you didnt know this is because you too busy dealing with a dead format!
get up to date dude!

Don’t post any links Roca. Just PM them to CarlB and Harry if they ask.
May 21st, 2010
LMAOO….
since he is speaking the truth for once, suddenly links are available for everyone and not just for CarlB and Harry *if they ask*

Oh and whilst I think of it the need for anything beyond HDMI 1.1 is a myth.
Sky have launched a 3D service on their satellite HD TV service and their DVR is HDMI 1.1.
(and no, I am not talking about the old blue/red glasses kind I am referring to the polaroid version)
Besides I really have no interest in it in the home.
Roca
….and so what?
Did I ever say otherwise?
(but maybe, just maybe, this explains why the other f*ckwit has trouble finding it referred to on anyone’s top 20 list these days)
What’s ‘dead’?
DVD is very much alive, and Blu-ray is still going.
….and only the disc format is ‘dead’ with HD DVD, the movie formats are the identical and same ones (VC-1, AVC & Mpeg2) that Blu-ray uses.
May 21st, 2010
HH,
As I stated before, I’m not all that excited about the 3D format but we’ll see how it goes. In regards to some things, remember sometimes unindulgence is bliss.
May 21st, 2010
HH dipshit
I never once said you LG is “dead” I’ve been saying its not overall a better br than the ps3…you dipshit, try reading for a change before you type…but that’s expecting too much from a moronic dipshit like you…but keep on posting
May 21st, 2010
Also, your LG might be on the top 20…but the ps3 is in the top 5…that’s the difference, and only difference I’ve been telling you about, but, you are a ….no need to be nice..you are a dumb one..you’ll get it sooner or later:)
May 21st, 2010
Learn to read.
Where did I ever say you had said the LG was “dead”?
You really are a boring tedious little idiot.
Go play your double-act game at someone else.
You’re boring me now.
May 21st, 2010
Good to see I can affect your mood
But again, I never said the LG is dead…just it gets trounced on overall performance by the ps3….looks like the public school system has failed you…poor poor little dipshit
Continue bringing pointless post here, keep avooiding the issue
the issue isn’t me, you can’t even site where I said what lol
Keep up this idiot boy farce dipshit, continue being bored
You post quite a bit for trying to tell people to get a life
Haha glad I affect you so though …let’s see what else you bring
May 21st, 2010
is not ‘dead’ is just ‘discontinued’
May 21st, 2010
I guess, I owe HH an apology on the LG comment ;(
You spaced things out a bit much..plus you attacking both me and roca in the that same paragraph..again, my bad.
All else still stands
May 21st, 2010
People. Summary.
He got a BR player. He likes it. It’s not garbage. He doesn’t think the PS3 is garbage.
Roca loves the PS3 so much he wants to take it back behind the middle school and marry it.
‘Nuff said.
May 21st, 2010
Carlb
Summary:
HH bought a LG BR player he loves it. Its a good BR player
People say the PSe is just as good
HH goes on a rant how the ps3 is laughable as a BR
THEN people tell em the ps3 feature set, and they far exceed his BR…
HH fails to state why he likes his BR player..it fills a region playing need…but instaeed veers off a tangent about how x feature is better than the ps3….which is pointed out to him as simply not true…again overall performance goes to the ps3…
He then further goes into another tangent about power savings…in which he is proved wrong again…his lg/360 use 305w while the ps3 slim uses 250w..
Instead of being a dipshit
He could have said the following: guys I understand the ps3 feature set, BUT I needed a br player that can play region locked games.”
Instead he goes off about how laughable the ps3 is as a br player, how much wattage it uses, how br is not needed, etc…
HH is just a plain old dipshit
Case closed. HH my bill will show on your account
May 21st, 2010
@HH
I’ve heard great things about sky. But when did sky start streaming 1080p, let alone HD3D that will be bluray quality.
The 3D they are using(no hint if it was true HD,720,1080) is a completely different tech than what TV manufacturers are pushing. The 3D they are implementing is a mere stepping stone before they push some newer boxes which won’t be HDMI1.1.
May 21st, 2010
The tech they use HH significantly sacrafices highdef for 3d
May 21st, 2010
RomasantaMC
Sky’s HD broadcasts (like the vast majority of HD broadcasters) are in 720p/1080i.
Actually it’s really 1080i with a setting on the player for 720p processing which some find looks better on their earlier HD TVs.
The 3D they have just launched (so it won’t be being replaced anytime soon) is the polaroid kind and they have a deal with LG for HD TV sets going out to bars, clubs and other public entertainemnt venues.
They’re doing it but, as I mentioned, I have no interest in it in the home anyways.
……oh and my Xbox is a Jasper with a max rating of 150w and the LG is 25W.
The rest is just typical Pbot misrepresentation, distortion, ludicrous defensive invention & flat-out fail.
May 21st, 2010
Just out of interest…..
…in which insane flight of fancy would I be using the LG & my Xbox together (making a combo of their wattage use relevant) anyways?
May 22nd, 2010
“Look at that idiot here, he seriously imagines I could give a sh!te that my video player isn’t a game console.”
I think that’s really what gets confused when people say the PS3 is the best performing BR player. The PS3 has some real problems when you look at it just as a BR player (uses a huge amount of power, fans sound like they come from an F16, stupid and cheap Bluetooth remote). I appreciate that you can play PS1 games on it but it doesn’t make it a better BR player.
And I do have a Sony TV and BR player so it’s not like I’m “hating on Sony”.
May 22nd, 2010
Me
When put like that, stating a feature that’s not good and then explaining why…is perfect..its when you critisize without even at least a single reason….
Now, the wattage numbers I pulled out were from the sites, so, if some are different big whoop….my point is you even pointing out wattages to begin with was a lame attempt to slander the ps3…
And I don’t know how you have your setup, but I figured while one watches movies, the other could play games….I don’t know, I figured since you get things cheap you’d have more than one tv….or at least lived with someone….my bad…
May 22nd, 2010
You don’t know jack sh!te about how I live or who with.
You scrabbling about in your typical feeble attempts to hurl any sort of abuse is as tragically funny as ever.
May 22nd, 2010
me_
Precisely.
The PS3 also lacks certain fundamental features that rule it out.
Most importantly is the region locking on DVD & Blu-ray.
I have never bought a region locked video player, why the hell would I start buying into that stupidity now?
…..and for what is primarily a game console?
I don’t think so.
May 22nd, 2010
the PS3 is one of the Best bluray on the market that offers you much more value than a 360 and your normal stand alone player based on what the critics says and not baised opinions from HH or Me_
the fact that some of you have gone a bought a stand alone bd player (kev, HH, cad) just how much value the PS3 offers out of the box.
May 22nd, 2010
Who do you think you are preaching your tedious nonsense to Roca?
Can the PS3 play all DVD regions? No.
Can the PS3 play all Blu-ray regions? No.
Can the PS3 play HD DVDs? No.
Can the PS3 operate with both PAL & NTSC TVs? No.
(and one last video one which is why I have my PC & HTPCs –
Can the PS3 play X264 & H264 .mkv HD encodes – without conversions?
No.)
The Xbox offers more games and more games with a higher metacritic score and the LG can do far more than a PS3.
Similarly I have the PCs fill in the HD .mkv gap for encodes.
Like I said the PS3 isn’t even close to meeting my needs and the other options I have chosen do.
I already had the 2 PCs, I already had the LG.
I could have bought a PS3 if I’d wanted but tbh I just don’t see the need for another game console so I bought a neat little laptop.
That now handles all my media needs when I’m away from home, including .mkv encodes.
So despite it lacking a BD drive I really don’t need one.
Encodes away from home will do very nicely.
May 22nd, 2010
HH
I must have hit a soft spot HH…your right I don’t know jack shit, but I just figured you didn’t live alone…I figured, being a hts/electronic buff, with a budget, you’d have at least a similiar setup like me: my lady and I, have the main entertainment center, the ps3, big screen, hts…pretty general, adjacent to that we have the computer, so sometimes while she watches lifetime,or whatnot, ill hop on the computer, or sometimes when I’m playing ps3, shell go to our room and watch tv….multiple power using devices being used at the same time..
Its not me trying to hurl anything, its me using common fucking sense…something you seem to lack…so using common sense, if you don’t use your ce products at the same time, like the above examples…one can figure maybe because you live alone, and from that I can gather your single….
That’s just assuming and using common sense judging by the limited info we get from each other…now if I called it and you don’t like that truth, okay don’t know what to tell you….but if I’m wrong and you don’t live alone chances are you’ll be on more than one ce product at a time…which was my point…that’s it.
Yes the ps3 does have some drawbacks as a standalone player but when sites such as avsforums say only one other br player tops it in overall performance, an oppo aka NOT you LG, I’m gonna go ahead and take their word for it, not yours, was my point wheen you ttry and downplay the ps3 br playback..
The ps3 might not fit your very specific needs, but the ps3 is still a better overall performing br player than yours, backed up by various and well regarded a/v sites…
May 22nd, 2010
@HH
is your player discontinued?
can your player do any do any of this??
-play PS3 games
-plays 3D HD games
-plays 3D HD bluray movies
-plays PS1 Classic
-plays Minisl
-plays PSN games
-can stream from Netflix
-has a dedicated video store to rent or buy HD movies
-web browsing capabilities
-has Vidzone, a music video service
-can stream content from other devices like PC
-play PS1 disc
-can rip CD
-upgradable HDD
-blue tooth capabilities that let’s u connect any BT device
-has a dedicated social network space
-supports MLBTV for watching HD baseball games
-PSP connectivity
-store pics
-can support hulu for video streaming
-can support Pandora radio for music streaming
-can support Youtube/tv
-better exclusive
to do all this you clearly stated you have 2 PCs, a Laptop, a discontinued player, a 360 and a Sky box…and you still dont have all the features the PS3 offer like 3D movies and Games..
the PS3 have produce the best lineup since 2008 (3 years in a row) and have had the highest % of better rated exclusive since it came out…..
your shitty player is only good for movies….
and the PS3 has been praised as one of the better BD players on the market whether you like or not……but keep whining all you want you still ended up spending more cash to get similar features as the one that the PS3 offer out of the box.
Killzone 3 FTW
May 22nd, 2010
More pathetic nonsense.
I see the double-act’s back for the usual spamming the site with irrelevant BS & preaching the fanoby Gospel
(tho to God knows who you might imagine could care less).
May 22nd, 2010
HH
Your a dipshit, I’m not pulling any double act.
You asked ME out of interest why I think you would use your devices at the same time, and I provided the exact scenario why I thought it, then you retort with your typical ” oh your just pbots; your nonsense” dipshit responses..
Its just simply because you can’t give credit where its due, and that’s okay, its just means your a dipshit who can’t stand the ps3/sony/br succeed or even be praised…..that makes us better than you..plus no matter what you say
All the previous solo 360 owners on this site, now all own ps3….they doing something right, whether your dumbass cares to admit it or not…lol
May 22nd, 2010
More laughable garbage.
May 22nd, 2010
Lol the only one looking laughable is you dipshit lol keep on posting, keep proving my point
dipshit
May 22nd, 2010
The only reason to keep on posting is to laugh at you, you can’t even distinguish when a reply is made to someone else (or is it?).
Either way I’m having a great big laugh at your infantile tantrums.
May 22nd, 2010
It seems your the infant throwing tantrums, as you can’t seem to distinguish when someone is answering questions you asked themmm
You asked me out interest why I thoughtof x….you figure out the rest dipshit…
Its funny though, I can control your mood and tone of how you post…lol, I guess I’m the one laughing at you…enjoy your laugh, all by your lonesome
May 22nd, 2010
Laughably ludicrous and ridiculously arrogant & deluded pip-squeek behaviour.
Seek help little t!t.
May 22nd, 2010
Jojo does have a point, the PS3 does have some really good media center features. It’s got some really good BR player features too, I can see why a lot of people like it.
Personally I had a couple of issues with it as a BR player and it looks like HH had some issues too with region lock stuff. It’s not an open and closed decision like some make it out to be here.
As for Rocas ridiculous lists. My BR player is a toaster too! You have to go out and buy a stand alone toaster. Therefor my BR player is clearly superior.
May 23rd, 2010
A toaster? Is that the best u can come up with? At least everything I said is true…..but I’m sure ur ‘toaster’ is a better player than HH’s discontinued player.
And yeah jojo has provided valid points that show why the PS3 is one of the top player…..everything the PS3 does outshine what lg bh200 does.
May 23rd, 2010
Lol HH
Your childish tantrums when I trump you is all that matters
May 23rd, 2010
me_
I do not disagree with that, just like the Xbox makes a great media centre/extender too.
My point here has never been to roll in (like a few can always be relied upon here) making idiotic statements like “console ‘a’ is sh!t” or some such similar pointless juvenile stupidity.
I do like to point & laugh at the blind fanboys who cannot stand any positive comment about the competition
(they go nuts about anyone saying anything fair about Wii too)
which they cannot help but see as an ‘attack’ on their beloved.
Even now, in this area regarding video playback, region locking and a true multi-format ability is just ignored and a stupid fanboy slogan spouted.
(And of course in all debate anything PS3 is seen through the prism totally as if PS3 was always a slim & always at current pricing levels)
…..or you just get some equally stupid self-praising arrogant & mentally questionable BS.
But this is sadly what you tend to get nowadays from a certain segment when game consoles are involved.
Kev, CAD & CON are often held up as ‘equal’ in terms of fanboy-ishness……but I have never seen them devote their lives to this sort of laughable 24/7 patrolling of the m/b’s or such slavish bashing/defensiveness.
It’s quite enlightening, if not especially interesting.
May 23rd, 2010
What a troll……nobody has taken u seriously ever since u claimed ODST look as good ss Uncharted 2, keep wishing u tho.
May 23rd, 2010
Well ifnothing else you’d know all about trolling Roca.
May 23rd, 2010
At least I keep it real real while u hate on everything Sony with pure lies and false claims…..remember when u bet that Reach was going to the best looking game in 2010……or when you claimed Alan Wake is going top be one of the top 3 major hits this year? or when u claim BD was a failure and that it was going to have a short life spam……or how u keep claiming that PS3 is selling less than the 360 every time the NPD numbers are revealed but u forget to mention that the PS3 is outselling the 360 worldwide
Pathetic troll lies is all u’ve got
May 23rd, 2010
More of your idiotic BS
1) “remember when u bet that Reach was going to the best looking game in 2010?”
So what?
It’s an opinion.
I’m entitled to have one of my own, you ridiculous fascist twit.
…..and as we have yet to see the finished article it still might be.
….and even if it isn’t quite at the peak you’ll still be the one making youyr silly mountains out of molehills.
2)”…or when you claimed Alan Wake is going top be one of the top 3 major hits this year?”
So what?
It’s an opinion.
I’m entitled to have one of my own, you ridiculous fascist twit.
…..and seeing as it has only been out a few days it still might be.
3) “….or when u claim BD was a failure and that it was going to have a short life spam”
So what?
I actually just quoted a view held by a senior guy at Samsung.
One of Blu-ray’s biggest backers.
I guess your nartrow fascist view means that he’s not entitled to express his (informed) view either.
4) “or how u keep claiming that PS3 is selling less than the 360 every time the NPD numbers are revealed but u forget to mention that the PS3 is outselling the 360 worldwide”
So what?
NPD (and Japan) are the only regular monthly numbers of any independent substance we have.
In fact Sony’s financial report also gives some hard numbers and the gap last time they released figures was still around 7 million.
So, not quite the fast catch-up you Pbots seem to believe – and would have everyone else believe.
Nevermind, carry on your laughable howling at the moon.
Crowd out the ‘off message’ talk, eh?
Troll away.
May 23rd, 2010
@HH
“They’re doing it but, as I mentioned, I have no interest in it in the home anyways.”
Thank you for agreeing that because of HDMI 1.1 on your player it will never have HD3D.
May 24th, 2010
“”What a troll……nobody has taken u seriously ever since u claimed ODST look as good ss Uncharted 2, keep wishing u tho.”
Well Roca you did get lines and pixels mixed up in the last thread (you know the difference now I hope). If I was in your position I wouldn’t go around saying other people can’t be taken seriously.
@HH
I think Roca’s taken up Ivan’s job. At least his English is a little more understandable.
May 24th, 2010
“I do like to point & laugh at the blind fanboys who cannot stand any positive comment about the competition(they go nuts about anyone saying anyth”
Said the pot to the kettle….you do the same exact thing whenever any topic or anyone holds praise for the ps3….lol keep oon trying though…
Also, yes your entitled to your opinions, but you never admit when your opinion is totally wrong…case in point the sscuccess of br, and the recent issue of you saying that br is needed when developers say it is….let’s see what you post next
May 24th, 2010
@me_
“If I was in your position I wouldn’t go around saying other people can’t be taken seriously”
lmao…pathetic….this coming from the guy who claimed the was showing its age because of its ‘built-in Wireles G wifi” once MS released an Wireless N adapter not knowing (like always) that you can plug almost any USB wireles N adapter to the PS3…that’s what I call freedom…..while the 360 is locked to MS’s overprice peripheral….
I think you have taken CAD/CarlB’s job and least they dont kiss HH’s ass as much as you do….
@HH
you opinions are biased and always favoring the 360.
your player is shit compare to “everything” the PS3 can offer….most of your opinions are far from the truth.
I know your player plays DVD, HD-DVD and BD from any region (so what?) but all the features that the PS3 offers out of the box outshines those of your discontinued player……but hey you will never admit it because ‘its your own personal biased opinion’
@jojo
“Also, yes your entitled to your opinions, but you never admit when your opinion is totally wrong”
exactly
May 24th, 2010
@HH
Sony’s financial report does NOT change the FACT that the PS3 has been outselling the 360 WORLDWIDE since the beginning of last year……buy hey (so what?) it’s your ‘opinion’ to think other wise and bring something totally unrelated to the fact that the PS3 has been outselling the 360 for a while now
May 24th, 2010
RomasantaMC:
“Thank you for agreeing that because of HDMI 1.1 on your player it will never have HD3D”
What has HDMI 1.1?
The LG has HDMI 1.3 (so you were wrong about that).
The Sky HD DVR (which doies have HDMI 1.1) is, right now, offering a polaroid 3D service.
So what are you getting at?
Roca & the other idiot.
Boo hoo hoo.
Have your little double-act tantrum with someone else.
Morons.
May 24th, 2010
“right now, offering a polaroid 3D service.”
LMAOO….as expected.
May 24th, 2010
Lol at HH
you can no longer bring any meaningful comments, so you resort to your pbot remarks lol
I love beatingt your ass across thses boards
I enjoy affecting your mood so though
May 24th, 2010
@HH
I apologize the sites I checked specs on LG BH200 were incorrect.
May 24th, 2010
@RomasantaMC
no currently released player support the new codec needed for 3D, it will need a new hardware upgrade (pretty much a new player)
May 25th, 2010
Fair enough RomasantaMC.
Roca
…..so what’s so ‘LMAOOO’ about the polaroid 3D system (other than it not beting the shutter glasses version Sony are going with on their 3D TVs)?
I thought you were not so long ago soiling your Ys over how ‘awesome’ this new 3D stuff was at the cinema
(and that was all polaroid).
Either way I have no real interest but your typical fanboy flip-flopping on this stuff is as funny as ever.
May 25th, 2010
…..oh and you’re talking cr@p about needing a new player.
(you should stop relying on google for everything you know, it’s often incomplete or flat-out wrong)
Sky did not need to bring out anything new to give people the polaroid 3D (which is not the old red & blue glasses stuff I suspect you think it is)..
May 25th, 2010
you still raving about polaroid 3D?? lmaoo pathetic
Sky uses poloriod 3D (old tech) and it doesnt need anything other than dual images and red and blue type of glasses
HD3D on the other hand will not be possible without a upgrade…depending on the hardware specs.
your LG discontinued player will never be able to support the new codec for 3D and it will also neeed a upgrade to support HDMI 1.4 specs through HDMI 1.3
stop relying on your ‘personal opinion’ that are usually far from the truth and you have been wrong 99% of the time (see above for proof)
May 25th, 2010
Roca
No, you idiotic moron.
Sky uses the latest polaroid 3D.
It is not the old red/blue glasses type you idiotic cretin.
The ‘upgrade’ you are on about is an emitter which is a new piece of hardware the shutter glasses system requires.
If Sky can do this with the HDMI 1.1 in their DVR then I can see no reason why LG cannot update their player which has HDMI 1.3.
The HDMI version is clearly not the restricting part.
So long as the method used is compatible with the 3D HHD TV being used it will work……which is exactly how the Sky system, does it.
(like you’d know zip about Sky without googling anything)
May 25th, 2010
yeah but its the poloroid tech?? seriously why are you still making a buzz about it….
poloriod 3D doesnt really required much work other than what has already been use for many years, more perfected but way inferior to the new 3DHD tech.
and yes the 360 can do poloroid 3D but it will be limited but its DVD 6.8GB size and it will be hard for a game like Gears 2 (which uses all the space available) to have any kind of 3D.

Back-peddle away!
May 25th, 2010
HH, your an idiot..
Roca is merely saying, polaroid tech is old tech…no matter how updated it is IN COMPARISON to the new “HD3D”, or whatever its called…
For the record…I can’t stand all this new 3d bs…BUT, I’m glad the ps3 will give me the option to use it…if I ever want to…
May 25th, 2010
Oh and there’s the 2nd part of the ludicrously idiotic double-act.
May 25th, 2010
whining is all you have left….suddenly he cares about polariod 3D after months for dissing HD3D….
hypocrite
May 25th, 2010
Boo hoo, boo hoo hoo.
….and you’re a blind dumb f*ckwit too.
I have repeatedly said 3D is of no interest to me in the home and I have repeatedly said as much here too.
Pointing out your (typical) risible ignorance regarding 3D, the LG, HDMI versions & the Sky box is hardly inconsistant with that.
(except to a laughably dumb moronic fanboy like yourself)
May 25th, 2010
hey HH dipshit
What’s laughable, is the fact that everyone here at blorge see you for what you are: a simpleass, nitwit
Keep on posting pointless posts, all your posts are nothing but whine
all you do is whine about me/pbots, or whinning about me/pbots whinning..
You go ahead and whine away lol we enjoy watching you kick and scream while the rest of us actually contribute to the topic with you know…actual thought and content;)
Till your next mornic post dipshit
May 25th, 2010
good luck with your ‘polaroid’ 3D…..I did that in like what…….10, 20 years ago
you are so full of shit…just like when u lost every single Bluray arguement with your lies and wrong opinions, you went back like a lil bitch to hide behind DVD (older and lower quality) which is not the standard for HD content and your precious HDDVD was burried deep into the ground. now that you have lost all 3D argument, again with false claims and stupid opinions…..you once again have gone back to the older tech, polaroid in this case, to make your pathetic self feel better for buy so many CE devices and none of the can support HD3D
May 25th, 2010
There there there ladies, you let it all out.
LMAO
May 25th, 2010
nothing to add once again..
ran out of biased ‘opinions’ already?

Awww…its okay, don’t cry just because you can no longer keep up with us….
Don’t worry, it’ll be okay for you…no, I didn’t say it was okay to be that dumb…just that it’ll be okay..for me
