E3: 80GB PS3 Coming to Europe

Sony has f**ked up big time, not only have they lost Final Fantasy 13, Microsoft is beefing up the dashboard and services in Autumn and all Sony have got to compete with is a 40gb degradestation with a bigger hard drive...Wow just wow.

I think Sony has lost the plot, they have lost pretty much every market there is.

They've certainly lost the market of infantile fanboys...

Well no I am not being a fanboy its facts the PS3 is a an utter s**t of a games console what can it do exactly in regards to play games? I mean look at all the cross platform games graphically they suck on the PS3 compared to the 360, I compared GTA 4 side by side on the PS3 and 360 and the PS3 was diabolical graphically!! slowdowns, colours were terrible and extremely dark even with all the settings on max for lighting.

Even the latest update for the PS3 f**ked up the consoles.

And where is HOME? Oh wait still WAITING for a f**king BETA!

Instead Microsoft announces a new revamp of the dash this year in Autumn!

Sorry but overall the PS3 is truely f**ked, 80gb version what with only a bigger hard drive?? No reduction in cost for the 40gb?? Degraded the console as well isntead Microsoft are improving the console.

Microsoft has the best software lineup and look on the system including live.

The only people that purchase a PS3 ONLY are deluded ignorant fanboys that dont know what true gaming is even if it hit them in the face.

There are tons more positive things to say about the 360 than the PS3.

How many exclusives has the 360 lost to the PS3? PS3 lost the biggest franchise it had which was Final Fantasy what a huge f**king shame.

Haven't we all seen this before, my friends please look back to the year 1995, A big hardware company on its third console, brings out some big black thing with the same controller as the last console, and it failed miserably.

The Playstation 3 is the SEGA Saturn ^^

"Sony has f**ked up big time, not only have they lost Final Fantasy 13"

they havent LOST it, its just going to be cross platform in certain territories. meaning more people can play it. all good yes?

why does always this competition between consoles affect people so much. you say youre not being a fanboy, but slagging off a console you dont own (yes yes i know you USED to) and championing one you do, is pretty much the definition of being a fanboy. if you dont like a console, great, dont have to f**king ram it down people's throats all the time.

some people like the kind of games that sony bring out. little big planet for example. all the psn games you cant get elsewhere. you know what my girlfriend loves super rub a dub, or whatever its called, cant get it on the 360, hardly a system seller, but hey she likes it.

i had a 360, but i got rid of it. FOR a ps3. im in no way a sony fanboy, as in term of sony, i see them more of a conduit rather than a console company. (at least in the past) rather than say nintendo, which have a legacy of video games. all in all, each and everyone of them is a company, they make money they coudnt give a hit about you, so why do you about them, they just want you to buy their products. thats the truth.

all im saying is just calm down ok, you like the xbox 360, WE GET IT. go play it, have fun. let other people have fun on whatever game they like to play.

A white console with highly touted network abilities and a controller sporting an offset analogue stick from a manufacturer considered an also ran the generation before, launching early to compete with the next PlayStation?

The XBox 360 is the Sega Dreamcast :-)

Those who remember the past are doomed to see it in the present.

A) Microsoft releasing a new dashboard isn't really that big a deal, is it?
B) 80GB vs 40GB is in fact an upgrade, however useless people might find it.
C) People who slag off consoles are fanboys, not people who buy them. Since fanboyism is probably the most hardcore-feature of "gaming", I prefer to be ignorant about it. Personally, I buy what I want, and play what I want.
D) If an XB360 fell on a PS3 it would merely bounce or slide off; if a PS3 fell on an XB360, it would crush it to smithereens.
E) The PS3, as far as I'm aware, hasn't lost Final Fantasy, only the exclusivity of it. As long as I can play it, I don't really care whether you can or not. What a "huge f**king shame" it is that people can either play it on the XB360 or PS3, according to their choice.

No! Especially when the new dashboard is a cross between the PS2 and the Wii.

you never played a staturn than sega staturn controler just stits in your hand best for fighting games.

360 dashbord update it looks like a blended version of media center with the girly feel of the the wii
and hay the ps3 is better than the 360 and yes i haver the right to say it i own all 3 i have had my ps3 since lanch no problems
i have had many 360s even my elite has stoped working i not had it a year yet and it dose not f**king read dics if i wanted a console just for live arcade i have a pc ond get s**t loads of roms for mame that i can have in full sreen not borded and its all free
and a nother thing you Posted by SuperSaiyan4 games graphically they suck on the PS3 compared to the 360, I compared GTA 4 side by side on the PS3 and 360 and the PS3 was diabolical graphically!! slowdowns, colours were terrible and extremely dark even with all the settings on max for lighting.
you are saying that you have two of the same hdtvs setup the same ( i dont think so ) even if you have two tvs the same wich i dout you dont own a ps3 any more so how have you done this i am very intrested
and yes thay have not put ps2 playback in it how cares if you are whanting to play your old ps2 games keep your ps2 simple if you have not got a ps2 go buy one seconhand you can pick up for about £40

What is it with the forums today - are visitors to the Scope website being redirected here by accident?

I am convinced StupidSaiyan4 is an ironic/joke "character" created at Spong towers on a slow news day to create a bit of interest on the forum. There can be no other explanation. Someone with the brain capacity to type (poorly) on the internet, surely cannot hold/believe these views.

People just face it the PS3 is infact a dead machine, old GPU outclassed by the 360's GPU, no upscaler and poor quality games coupled by tons of crap like the controller.

The 360 is a true games console.

if this is the case then the ps3 and the 360 are dead hay the wii just dose games it seles like hot cakes
get a grip mate all three consoles have good and all three have bad
i think the only resone you hate it is because you regret the fact that you had a 60gb and you sold it and you now whant another but cant get hold of one

I wish, but even we couldn't be that perverse. There would be chaos in the office (which has moved from the Tower on King Street to a magic underwater flying castle, which sounds cool but it leaks a bit, and some of these fish are not to friendly) if he were one of us.

Fair point, no one could make up someone to sound as daft has he/she/it does. What about the Octopi? I hear they can be right nasty bast**ds
