I know reese a little nerdy,but basically the PS3 has so much technology that it cant run and to make it work they will have to dumb it down, thus making it less powerfull than 360.  From that article the other major problem is with the graphics card, being half as good as xbox360. 

It will be interesting to see where Sony goes from here.  It seems like they're design was too ambitious at this time, and they're losing market share w/Nintendo putting a new system out.

My PS2 is toast. It won't play anything now. So it is time to operate!!

Doctor.  Doctor.  Doctor.  Doctor.  Doctor.  Doctor...

IT'S ALIVE! I had to take it apart a few times to try different things but I can play all CDs of all types again......

I know you all cared...

see, i read the opposite in a previous article--ill try and find it--but both systems share just a miniscule difference in graphics--where you wouldnt even be able to tell. The only diff. is the functionalities of the systems where you can do "more" than the other.

They are losing market share for not coming out at the designated time projected, but their name still holds ALOT of value.
Xbox hitting their target date-marketing, and gulping up more customers every year and yes--Nintendo more so overseas will result in a hit for Sony.

I bought God Of War a couple of weeks ago. It's one of the best games I've ever played as it's akin to an interactive movie. If you have a PS2 and don't buy it, you are a Wee Todd.

I got a spiffy new video card this week, so I bought Half-Life 2 Episode 1. I'm playing it with all the settings on high, resolution up, no framerate loss, and it's pretty fun so far. More puzzles to figure out, more Alyx tagging along, and more love scenes with Dr Kleiner and Lamar.

No doubt.  The game was just flat out incredible.

I already told Mrs. Feva that I'll be pretty much worthless for a few months once GOW 2 hits in Feb 2007.  She asked me, "What else is new?"

Its similar to Devil May Cry or Prince of Persia type game.  Familiar? I rented it twice when i had the gmae pass and never played it once. everyone says it's so great and if i recall it actually one game of the year last year.  i'll prob pick it up for only 20$.

[SunMo]

i never played either of those games

It's a RPG... with some of the best graphics the PS2 has to offer... a great story... custom kills that are bloody as hell... great soundtrack... won game of the year 2005.

Simply put... if you have a PS2... buy it.  Especially since it's part of their "Greatest Hits" collection and you can now get it for $19.99.

The Godfather is an awesome game.  It's pretty much GTA set to the Godfather, which rules in theory and in actual gameplay.
