Back-again!

by Tommy Tseng

Hey guys!

Sorry I couldn’t bring you any news….there was an internet problem at the servers…however we’re back on track and ready for more action!

BIG NEWS that came out this week: Crysis coming to the PS3!!!!
Apparentely, various sources here and there are claiming Crysis is coming to the PS3, and this has been furthered by GameStop advertising Crysis on PS3 boxes! Retailers usually won’t advertise a game for a console until it is absolutely confirmed from the publisher AND developer that it is coming to that console (in this case the PS3). So….Crysis is coming the the PS3!!!! Yay!

Also, there may be another PS3 price cut! It seems that the new one may be a response to the Xbox 360 price cut, since after the 60GB PS3 will no longer be at retail for $499, the only package left that Sony will be selling will be the 80GB PS3 at $599 bundled with Motorstorm. The 80GB PS3 actually has a smaller hard drive than the Xbox 360 Elite (120GB), which is now selling at $449, $150 less than the 80GB PS3. As games are around equal in visuals at the moment, it would seem sensible that you get the Xbox 360, unless you want to shell out an extra $150 for a blue ray player. This is of course not the case, as the PS3 is significantly better in terms of hardware, and as game developers and blue ray technology get better, it will only be a matter of time until PS3 games far surpass those of the Xbox 360, audially, visually, gameplay and content wise. Did I mention the SIXAXIS controller also has motion sensing capabilities and maybe a rumble feature in the future?

In conclusion (seems like I’m writing an essay), the PS3 price cut may indeed seem beneficial, even though it won’t be necessary in the future (PS3 surpassing Xbox 360 in terms of everything). Oh, and what was that-Crysis will be coming to the PS3 as well! We shall see if it stays PS3 and PC exclusive-even if it does go to the Xbox 360, visuals won’t be that good, eh!
