Current mind share on B3D

[Qroach]

you mean a wifi/internet connection, a cpu, and a firmware upgrade? im sure the ps3 can handle it if the psp can.

No I meant where are you going to input your television video? Anyway feel free to dream about that in another thread. This isn't the best place.

It is possible. Not saying that it will happen. And I thought this thread was the place to say this stuff.

im not sure you understand what the location free base is. you input your dvd/vhs player, tv, or favorite console to the base. the base then streams the video out to any device with a internet connection and the correct software.

all the ps3 would need is software for the location free player, as is all the psp needed.
the real cost comes when buying the actual location free base, which is $350 hard to the consumer.

its just software for the ps3/psp.
the hardware is the base.

you could have the base and you could stream video to your laptop if you wanted.

if you wanna know more on how the psp uses it, i posted on it at nvnews after finding a sony forums thread about it...

no i know what it is. I thought these guys were talking about using eh PS3 as a "base" for location free TV and not just a reciever.

if you say so...

What if the PS3 has LocationFree TV software built inside of it?

but yeah, this is all kinda OT... back to the poll

Getting both a 360 and a ps3 at launch.It's great that these 2 consoles will ,probably,launch with a one year difference in Europe so there will be plenty of time for me to be excited about both.

I don't really care about the revolution even though i own a GC. I absolutely hate the new controller(sorry Nfans).

Maybe if the new metroid is mindblowning,who knows???

Would like to get an Xbox 360... a few things I like about the services they offer such as arcade, and downloadable games as well as the online gaming aspect, plus I'm a fan of xenos.

Will defenitely get a PS3, owned three PlayStations, and two PS2's, looking forward to what the PS3 will deliver in terms of graphical as well as non graphical richness.. and I hope the broadband IP camera takes off.

Would like to get a revolution... I look forward to playing with the remote controler, and playing great Nintendo games.. pure fun.

Well, MS have certainly done a good job of getting the hardcore forum guys pumped up.

So is this it? did everyone vote?

 

[Kalin]

PS3 - 156 (39.59%)
Xbox 360 - 145 (36.80%)
Revolution - 82 (20.81%)
I have no current preference - 11 (2.79%)

The numbers don't say that on mine.

 

[Kalin]

Two more votes since then, one for Xbox360 and one for all three.

PS3 - 157 (39.45%)
Xbox 360 - 147 (36.93%)
Revolution - 83 (20.85%)
I have no current preference - 11 (2.76%)

 

[mckmas8808]

Mines says 81 for PS3 and 83 for X360.

It's because you're not adding in the votes of individuals who say they will get multiple consoles into the pool of individuals who will get only one, and using the final tallies to take your percentages.

Oh yeah. *smacks head* That's pretty good for the PS3. Most of their titles are vaporware right now. Wait until we actually see stuff.

I'm really surprised by those numbers. I had always thought this board was very pro-playstation, but maybe it's just that those members are more outspoken.

Honestly scooby (this is not against you) it's because you are pro-Xbox. That's why you feel that way. I'm pro-Sony and I used to think this board was all for Xbox and everything Xbox related. Now since I've calmed down and gained some sense I've grown to see that is not the case.

 

[Qroach]

I'm sure there some playstation 2 fans out there that are willing to give something else a shot if they see games they like. Overall I was suprised by the numbers. I didn't think it would do this well against the PS3 in a poll.

Psshhh! That's just XBox board hype - the 'Sony fans of B3D.'

I can assure you that if nothing else, since E3 there has been a *significant* influx of Xbox fans. (You TXB guys know who you are!)

Anyway I think there is quite strong representation on both sides of the 'aisle,' but I think what's most important is that everyone get along and respect each others opinions. In theory this should be about dispassionate technology discussion, afterall.

What we can be assured of is that for either the wrong or the right reasons, this poll is not reflective of the 'average' gamer out there, because I feel B3D forum members tend to represent an 'above average' segment in terms of knowledge and immunity to hype.

lol, no that's just my observations when all the X360 threads continually go down in flames...but anyways...I digress...
