Revenge of the PS3!

121 0

EGM March 08

We spend a lot of our time (well, nearly all of it really) explaining why the PlayStation 3 is the most powerful, best value video gaming console you can buy. Well, the March issue of Electronic Gaming Monthly helps further the cause and explain what’s in store this year, with a cover story on why “2008 will rock” for the PS3 and its owners and fans. We, of course, agree. Covering off on subjects such as the amazing software line-up this year including LttleBigPlanet and MGS4, Blu-ray, PlayStation Network, and PSP cross-functionality, this is a pretty comprehensive article that is definitely worth a read. Subscribers should have it already, the rest can pick it up when it hits shelves next week.

  • Iam really tired of WAITING !!

  • Will Somebody from sony answer my question? Why are we still waiting for HOME??

  • Xbox 360 had its year. Now it’s PlayStation 3’s turn.

    Back to #1 :)

  • While 2007 didnt totally suck, it wasnt that great either. Sony owns movie and video game companies and developers and they still manage to have less content than microsoft which does not own all of that. Also we’ve had many updates and eric claims that thats what we’ve been asking for, but obviously all we have wanted since the beginning is in-game xmb. Developers complaing about how hard it is to develop for the ps3, and games and home getting delayed. 2008 TAKEOVER, its too the point right now that i will believe it when i see it!!!

  • Although I really enjoyed 2007 with my ps3, I do agree that 2008 will be great!

  • There’s alot of whiny babies on here I see……I wont name one of them(IBO Champion).

    Home will be out when its ready, if you get it now Home will constantly freeze up. Stop bashing Sony/PS3 because you cant get Home, get that sand out of your vagina and go play those sh*tty 360 titles you named earlier.

  • I always expect Sony to pull ahead in the long run. The PS2 still has the most impressive games library to date. As will the PS3.

    Everyone hates on sonys’ new systems when they first come out , then they will end up eating thier words like always.

    Plus 2007 was a good year , Folklore was the best game that I have played for a next gen console , not to mention assasins creed on the PS3.

    Sadly , I will never buy another EGM as long as I live ( it’s been a few years now ) , so I will just have to wait for reports.

  • 2008 will be i keller year for the PS3.

  • Got the magazine. gonna read it. hope it’s good!

  • I just picked up Devil May Cry 4 and I’m very disappointed at “you” Sony. The 5GB installation is not optional. It’s mandatory >_<!

    I event went out of my way to calling Capcom and they said in order for me to play this title on that system I don’t have a choice and they work with the technology given to them. Which is the best they could do since the BluRay drive read a lot slower then and regular DVDROM drive.

    I’m hoping you guys at sony take a real serious look at this situation. Because if I’m going to have to do a 5GB installation on all my AAA titles. Then you guys can count me out of putting any of my cash out to support your first party and third party software.

    I know a lot of people are very excited about upgrading their HDD but I’m not. After spending $675 on a 60GB PS3. I’m not looking forward to spending another $150 for a bigger HDD. In total I’d end up spending $825. For what? Just for me to game? This is not reasonable!

    I’m actually using my 25 minute installation to rant about this… This is soooo not coool!

    “I know this comment will not be read by anybody or replied to, as usual”.

  • In my household, money doesn’t grow on trees Sony! No rich daddy’s here neither. I work hard to play hard but I’m also cautious about how I spend my money.

  • Finally something positive about the PS3. It’s about time haters realise this is PS3’s time to shine. Hope to see similar turnaround of mindset for other media outlets.

  • EGM is a bit dense, they seem to reflect general opinion on certain forums. Firstly the PS3 had great games last year (Uncharted, Ratchet and Clank etc..), so no it didn’t suck for 2007 (except for the summer drought). However that was the general opinion on certain forums. Now the general opinion has shifted to PS3 is gonna rock 2008, this is thanks to you guys awesome Christmas marketing blitz and price drop. Not to mention an onslaught of good news.

  • Check this out!! I made this on photoshop from scratch. PS3 rules!!

  • ps dont steal my picture for yourself. i will sue you :]

  • @110 Ghostm,

    You can get a USB drive for less than $150. Then just move some of the stuff from the internal to the USB drive so you’ll have room for the DMC4 install.

  • This is it man!

    Japan was the first one to understand the PlayStation3 is where it’s at.

    After that came Europe

    Now North America we learn and understand where the future of gaming lies.

    We’re already seeing it, games like Grand Theft Auto IV which need a lot of space are geared towards ps3 since blu-ray gives them so much space.

    It’s not only that, but ps3 is a power house, hdd as default, DiVx, psp/ps3 connection, FREE ONLINE(Sony really needs to emphasize this more), and soon PlayStation HOME

    I’m telling you when Sony launches PlayStation HOME with GTAIV and MGS4 around the conner, the world will open their eyes and never look back.

  • By the way, ps3’s 2007 games were more dynamic and offered more variety than the competition.

    While Wii was full of casual games
    While 360 was full of FPSs

    PlayStation 3 had Motorstorm, Resistance(yes it was still alive all throughout last year), Folklore, Heavenly Sword, Warhawk, Uncharted, Ratchet and Clank.

    ^That’s a whole lotta love right there, not to mention the really fun Store games.

    People were just b*tching too much ’bout the price, I think that cloud has gone away so this year should be bright.

  • Ps3 in this new age technology is great. Sadly for most fo us in the caribbean, it’s expensive. Still, I like it. Can’t wait to own one. TOP GRADE!

  • Lol, it’s so true. I can’t wait for some MGS and all the other great games coming this year. SSSSSSNNNNNNNAAAAAAAKKKKKKKEEEEE!!!!!!!!

  • I think Sony should consider supporting their fans rather than a rag that routinely bashes Sony and Sony fans alike.

    Look at what they did last month. At the end of review section they have quick reviews for titles that arrived late or else weren’t worth the time of a full review. They spend several lines bashing Haze before stating it was a preview copy. It is in the reviews but they couldn’t resist. This is routine for them. Remember the March cover with the tomato?

    Then their cover states 2007 sucked for the PS3? Why does Sony continue to support a publication that bashes Sony and fans. Particularly when the PS3 outsold the 360 in 2007. What? Yes, why is no one mentioning that fact? How bad do you suck when you outsell the competition?

    I played my PS3 a great deal more than my 360 or Wii. You will do better with loyalty toward the fans rather than rags like EGM or professional Sony bash sites like Joystiq.
