ps3 sucks cuz its sooo expensive
When you consider the whole package,i beg to differ that the ps3 is remarkably cheap!
I doubt I will be one of the fortunate ones to find one at the launch since Sony dropped the amount of units being released by 75%. People in Europe won't even be able to get one until March 2007 due to the shortage.
Yep up to 1080p 
16th of november they reckon this time!
Well that was our launch date too, till a couple of weeks ago. Now it's been put back for the third time to March 2007. So good luck with that launch date pussyman.

this is an ignorant question.
are the new game systems really good. are they too in depth. are they hard to learn. thats why i dont get one. i think the games are hard to learn. am i wrong? and if so, what systems do you guys and gals reccomend to a newbie on the newer systems. remember i am still playing n64 and the original nintendo.

well i honestly would recommend getting an xbox 360, because the system has much to offer at such a great price. microsoft really listened to there gamers this time and they answered with xbox live marketplace and xbox live arcade. you seemed to like the more easy to play games then the complexed games which is why xbox live arcade is what your looking for, theres tons of great retro games on there where you can just download and play em.
I have both the 360 and PS3, i baught the PS3 in april and have played on it literally 3 times, you carnt beat the 360 - the PS3 isnt even connected to a TV in my house wich is a shame becuase kids will do anything for one, the xbox is more of an adults console thats why i like it better, it seems more serious than the PS3
plus you have the avaliablilty of microsoft SW
once more, on a 1000+ pixel HD the graphics are better on the 360 hands down, the PS3's graphics feel and look gritty.

Your stuck on the N64? :eek: no wonder you find the games hard to learn. Should have picked up a ps1 back in the day and moved up to a ps2 so you'd be used to all the buttons!
For those of us who haven't been left in the dust by video game consoles. The games aren't hard at all to learn, but some are still challenging to master!
The new systems rock! You can never be to in depth, adds to the realism of the game! But in about 10 years the PS3, 360 and Wii will all be old school and considered shit, by the then new standards!
Anyway to answer your question. I'd recommend the 360! It has bugs but have been worked out by now. The PS3 also has bugs but cost significantly more. Don't waste your time/money on the Wii. That is some hard shit to learn. Graphics are childish and to much damn moving around for my likes!
High definition isnt the important thing to take note of, here. What's important is the game and the texture resolution (size = bigger is better = not blocky/blurry like when you walked RIGHT up to the wall in doom1 or Goldeneye N64 = you can walk up and see the hairline fracture in the cement wall with a 2048x2048 texture plopped on a small wall)
So it goes something like this: Just because you have a high definition TV doesnt mean every channel is going to come thru in hi-def. The same is true of the PS3. Just because everything can come in clearly at 1080p doesnt mean the walls, guns, or people's faces will be to yours.. or anybody's liking as far as detail and clarity go.
But.. to answer your question.. yes, the PS3 itself is HD-ready. Whether the games will use that resolution or not.. is entirely dependent on the manufacturer. It's a huge tradeoff, frankly. Do you want to put all the processing power into the 1080p res with antialiasing and try for consistent 60 FPS? But then we might have to trade off physics details, level-of-detail will only be at short range..
(example being the mipmapping/blurring the ground, walls and player skins once youre at said distance away from it. Goldeneye the sample, btw.. walk up to a wall, stare at the ground and notice the different levels of blur/mipmapping as you walk backwards. That process halves, or cuts the texture's size to save video memory in the game. Plus.. at lower resolutions it can produce an interesting, pseudo-moire effect. Moire being the rainbowy.. zigzagging effect on extreme details without extreme representation on your screen. Many people dont even know it exists until.. yup, until they actually LOOK for it. Like deinterlacing or.. geez, anything on TV.. or related to video output. Whew.)
.. so anyway, you cant have it ALL ways. Smooth framerates, overall screen resolution, physics detail, LOD, Antialiasing, draw distance and what kind of filtering should we apply to the textures coupled with the possible shadow/lighting detail being the primary concerns.
btw, Goldeneye ran at 512x384 with x2 AA and bilinear filtering on the custom SGI setup on the 64. But the N64 never sold a VGA output anyway.. as I recall. Which would be really easy to do, as most consoles actually put out the pure signal and the only real conversion is to NTSC/PAL. But.. yeah, the first was the VGA cord for dreamcast. But not all games supported it. Complete piss, that.
