[ Estimado Fede ] ( Ps3 vs 360 )

Ese Fede! te anexo eso que me habias pedido, es el primero que encuentro, voy a buscar mas porque a este no le veo nada espectacular. De lo del PS3 vs xBox 360... pos la neta: Ninguna vale la pena si no hay tele HD de por medio. Y de ahi, la neta es unico que tiene salida de HDMi es el PS3 ( el 360 elite tambien tiene, pero para ese varo mejor un PS3 ). Por otro lado, ahorita el 360 tiene mas y mejores juegos, aunque los del ps3 se empiezan a ver significativamente mejor. Ah! pero ahorita yo no me compraria un 360 por un rato... tiene rato que a microsoft se le viene cayendo el teatrito porque los xboxes se estan muriendo, y se rumora un ratio de unidades defectuosas del 30%!!!! En mexico no me ha tocado ver u oir ninguna, pero al parecer si es medio comun en gringolandia. Ps3 y wii estan saliendo bastante bien. Ademas, estan todos los mugres costos escondidos del 360, pagar para bajar demos/jugar en linea, el add on de Hd dvd (no es necesario para bajar juegos, pero pos son 2mil varos por un hd dvd add on o 7 mil por una unidad stand alone pa ver peliculas...). El blu ray, como nota informativa, continua ganando 2-1 en ventas al hd dvd y se ve que va para arriba. :) Es chido que el ps3 lo saques de la caja y haga todo sin tener que salir a comprar la madrecita que se te olvido. Aun asi, saldra como mil pesos mas caro que un xbox todo equipado, aqui en mexico. Todo depende pa que lo quieras :D Si es para hechar desmadre el wii es obligatorio, de ahi, en juegos lo que le critican al ps3 es que son muy buenos, pero extremadamente cortos (pero por regla general el promedio esta en 8 de calificacion). 360 tiene 3 juegos que ya son casi casi must have y que aparentemente van a ser completamente exclusivos: Gears of war, Halo (que lo unico realmente chido es el multiplayer) y bioshock (Aparentemente, Dios bajo e hizo un juego. Este.) (el promedio tambien esta en 8) Lo malo? los demas juegos del 360 sencillamente apestan! (o estan en ambas consolas) Si quieres una consola ya ya ya ya, yo te recomiendo el ps3. Si te aguantas otro rato, yo esperaria a ver si el 360 se convierte en el nuevo rey de consolas o el ps3 le da por bajar de precio y regresar al no. 1. Va a haber mas variedad de juegos en ps3 (shooters, aventura, rpg, arcade contrario al 360 que parece mas una maquina de shooters profesionales, je je.) Chale. ya me heche un bueeen rollo. A trabajar! Saludos! //Serg

[ Coincidencias de un romance electronico ]

Por fin tengo PS3. Parcialmente financiado por los padres, y ya sin rastro de culpabilidad, me sorprendo porque pesa más que un bebe. Pero antes de nadar en las complejidades de 7 kilos de aparato electronico me gustaria conservar un par de datos curiosos en la compra de mi monstruo de 8 procesadores:

1. El nombre del vendedor de mercado libre se me hizo conocido. Tras una busqueda en google, descubri que fuimos a la misma universidad, aunque separados por 7 años, y que trabajamos en la misma compañia.Aumenta el factor freak las referencias que me dio a la serie de 24. Aun no recuerdo de donde me sonó el nombre. Deja vu?
2. Llegando a puebla, cargando mi caja de felicidad, casi me llevo entre las patas a Yas y a mi ahijada. Toda mi familia fue a recogerme, para encontrarme con Dennis, quien cargaba a su hijo.

Si no son pruebas fehacientes de que el PS3 y yo somos el uno para el otro... que más? //Serg

[ On why A PlayStation 3 is The Way To Go ]

Been debating with myself if I should write my rantings about consoles, I mean will it be read/convince someone? Then I realized that there are some valid points that are only discussed on hard core gaming forums, and some seem that are not discussed at all. So here we go. If u are 72 years old, or 6, is a ps3 for you? Or is the Nintendo Wii a better option? I would go with a yes here. Nintendo has managed to create an accesible system, with simple, fun, accesible games. But if you can handle a pc, or write a blog, I bet you will get bored quite soon: Games with repetitive tasks, unless they're played with more than four people, don't get funnier after a week. Nintendo has always come as a family friendly, "Your kids will not see blood" approach, wich is good, but also gets a bit restrictive over time. This restriction also alienates certain developers, and even complete genres ( There were no terror games on nintendo's earlier ystem, the GameCube ). A PS3 has a back catalog and upcoming games of enough famili friendly games, and a lot of gritty, obscure, complicated games. Its like choosing a movie: You choose the movie, not the theater. While Nintendo is trying to enter darker games, I think that will hurt it more than benefit it. Another drawback, is that the lack of third party publishers narrow nintendo to the next Mario, Zelda and Metroid iterations. They're great games, wich always score as perfect, but those are only 3 games, plus a couple of another gems. And yes, the new controller. It's great. But it's not simple. As with any interface, you'll have to learn it's quirks. Its just a new controller, wich by the way, tries to emulate a keyboard and a mouse, only motion sensitive. With it's own motion sensitive controller, the ps3 doesn't reinvent the wheel, rather, expands it, welcoming new and old users alike. And, unfortunately, Nintendo online comunity just doesn't seem as advanced as Microsoft's or Sony's. You'll be able to download oldies games, but the console doesn't have a hard disk or enough internal space to accomodate movies, shows or a lot of games. In short, Nintendo is still an option, just a very childish focused one. So, I can handle a PC and I'm not afraid of variety. Why not choose an xBox 360? If you had an xBox, or knew someone who does, you'll have probably stumbled upon one of the biggest drawbacks: Microsoft doesn't care for you. Just as with Windows, once the nex big thing is here, you're history unless you upgrade. Ps3 is backwards compatible, and the ps2 still has a year or so of momentum, before starting to get old. In paper, it doesn't sound as important, but my ps2 has managed to keep me entertained for the last year, and will do so a bit more, while enough supplies of ps3 are acumulated, and I buy one. An xBox owner suddenly wakes up and realizes there are no more games for his/her console. On the obvius side, the ps3 is more powerful, and more expensive, but it will also look better, and as mentioned above, has a larger life span. Besides, there's enough variety of games to have a lot of tastes happy. Microsoft is in it for the money. They just ensamble a good computer and ship it as a console, expecting to get a good byte at the 4 billion dollar pie. Nintendo and Sony try to make something better each time. Oh, at it will charge an extra $200 for a HD drive, wich will be required for bigger games later on, making it a $650 console over time. ( $400 console + $50 xBox live service/year + $200 HD Drive ) ... the PS3 offers you all that for $600, no hidden costs. is the PlayStaton 3 really that powerful? Yup, really. Perhaps you will not notice from the start, at least on the graphics, but you'll start noticing certain details. Like intelligent enemies, for example. Basically its like this: The ps3 has 7 persons running around inside, while the xBox has 2, and the wii has this 2 not very intelligent persons running. What does this means? Means that you can assign work to those 7 persons, and they're synchronyzed enough to get incredible results. One people can paint a masterpiece ( the image you saw ), while other one composes sounds and music, other one places the players in great manners, other one manages the weather, other calculates the trayectory of your bullets and the last one checks what is the traffic on the city doing. It can create a living, breathing environment, for you to get lost on it. Extra content While obviusly copying from microsoft, the ps3 will have an online store, where you'll be able to download free demos, videos and the like. You will also have a profile ( like a blogger account ), where people will write you and play you. The difference? Microsoft charges 50$ a year for the service, while the ps3 offers it for free. That high cost on the ps3 is getting lightier, isn't it? Besides, you'll be able to download new and great oldie games for a 'bout $5 a shot. If you feel caritative, you can download applications that will use the power of your console while you're not playing, to decode DNA and try to cure genetical diseases. Cool, ah? I can see you saying: "My Ps3 is saving lifes. What's your console doing?". Games It just makes sense to continue with your current console, doesn't it? Same games that you enjoy, and a lot more of surprises. Ps2 marked the birth of onimusha, devil may cry, killzone an God of War ( Probably the most innovative game since metal gear solid ). And with its current horse power, ps3 will enjoy PC ports wich will look better, same and runnable for about 6 years, as pc games evolve and require more power, and the ps4 arrives. While I'm certain that you won't play Halo, Gears of War or Zelda, my bet is that you'll enjoy a lot of other licenses. Besides, with current software costs going up, it's more likely that at least the xBox and the ps3 will get the same games, in wich case, the most powerful console will receive the most extras and content. What now? Go and play. I think you'll be happier with a ps3, but you'll probably get a good time with any other one. It's your movie!
