Sup guys just a short lil blog here. I'm gonna set up a videoblog that hopefully works whenever I get time. I'm in no rush so don't lose sleep over it, not that you would anyways. I finally got my Ps3 last week Wednesday so that gives me time to give you my impressions. I know I said PS3>360 but that's a given seeing as pencil+paper>360. Anyways my Dad bought it and he also bought the games. He bought two and two came with it....

1. Resistance 2: The best game he bought and it's very impressive seeing as he knows nothing about gaming. Yeah I was going to get this game anyways so it's cool that he picked this up. Thank god he didn't crappy game. It's got decent graphics especially with HD which is awesome. The gameplay's fun but nothing original. All around awesome game.

2. Tiger Woods PGA Tour 2009: I had 07 for the 3shitsty and it was quite enjoyable although my Dad bought as much for him as for me. It's good fun, especially multiplayer. The graphics are really good.

3. Unreal Tournament 3: Haven't really played this much but I will. Only played it once (it game with the console so not much to say about it.

4.   Gran Tourismo 5: Prologue: Last and certainly also least. What a piece of garbage. Why the hell are they charging money for a demo? There just milking this thing dry, trying to rake up every cent of money possible from this game. It's fun but it's still not a game.

Also bought Casino Royale on bluray. Wow it makes such a huge difference. This is the first blu ray movie I've watched. It's really awesome.

The next game I'm going to buy will be a. Dead Space b. MGS 4 c. Ratchet and Clank: Tools of Destruction or d. Motor Storm Pacific Rift. Not sure yet.

After having a 360 for 14 months which broke twice during that time, I decided to order myself a PS3.

So I ordered one yesterday, it should come sometime this week.

EDIT: It's coming straight from a Sony stockist and will actually be here next Monday (2nd Feb), whatever, I can wait.

Resistance 2 has just decent graphics, on a system that uses blu-ray? And "Thank god he didn't crappy game." You take a shit on Sony's best racing exclusive too, eh? lol

Get the fuck out of here with your shit.  You want people to care about your opinion when you say something stupid like pen+paper>xbox?  This is GiantBomb.com, not some fucking system wars place.  I have all three systems and can say they are each great in their own way.  dont touch my wii for months, PS3 will only get exclusives, all other games go on the xbox.  You need to fucking grow up and stop trying to make yourself feel better about the only system that your DAD bought.  Maybe in a few years you will realize that this system wars shit is bullshit.
Sorry I vented guys, but seriously, this is the most retarded post i have seen today.

I accept your opinion and his, I think this is what forums are for, to agree or disagree with the author of the thread and discuss in a way we all don`t start spewing flame wars out of our ass's.

My PS3 was fun, but it just died after 13 months of faithful service. Too young, too expensive to fix just yet. Maybe soon I shall Jesufy it by sending sony $150.

Maybe you can get it repaired by less by buying parts or knowing a handy repairman around where you live.

I do agree with the sentiment but Gran Turismo is a massive enough franchise to warrant this kind of thing. Polyphony are absolute perfectionists and therefore they had to release something to tide car nuts over.

Also, apart from archaic online structure (and the obvious lack of content in this "half-game") GT5P is still incredible (in my opinion). It's the attention to detail that's unmatched by anything in the industry. I'd be an idiot to say Forza is not a great game (it is) but GT is (and always has been) something else.

That's why this demo sold 3 million copies (not to mention Store downloads) and that's why PS3's will absolutely fly off the shelves when the full game is released.

You're entitlled to your opinion, mind and I'm glad you're enjoying the system.

PS3 rocks.

Clearly that's not his opinion. Gran Turismo has its place, but I've personally had more fun with the Wipeout and MotorStorm games. His complaints were about lack of content anyway, as he still found it fun, so the full game will likely satisfy him. While GT5P should be like $10 cheaper in my opinion, I think it is more than a demo with 16-player online races, over 70 cars, and 6 tracks (all reversible).

Personally i think the 360 is better. i have a PS3 and a 360...i play the 360 much more. The PS3 is a good blu-ray player though.

Why do people insist polyphony are sich perfectionists when gt4 isn't even above 90 on metacritic(?). They're just slow

It does seem like I'm a pS3 fan boy. Weird. I've been supporting 360 all of this gen till now.
