The ps3 will be the most advanced Bluray player on the market! hellz yeah!

ps3 hate in 3....2....1.....

Dudeman: Sweet the PS3 plays Blu-Ray Live movies now. YAY!!!!! I laugh that interactive features is just now coming to Blu-Ray when HD-DVD had it from the start.

Too bad you can't brag the same about the PS3's gaming performance. When is the 4D update coming????? Has the PS3 cured Cancer yet???

Don't worry though. I am buying a Sony PS3 Blu-Ray player at the end of the year. I figure they will have dropped the price again by then. Maybe by then PSN will actually be worth a damn. Or Home will actually be in people's homes. Maybe in game communication. Who knows maybe Sony will actually deliver on thier promises.

WAIT BEYOND

Home and Ingame xmb = this summer

I'd wait a month or two just in case they drop the price $50 just like your momma did. LOL!!

Ah, the "your momma" jokes. Expected from those with an IQ less than 20 and the mentality of a 7 year old.

Ingame guide (PS3) = this summer* (anticipated)

Ingame guide (360) - November 2006

Yeah... I'll just let that tidbit of info speak for itself.

go to flamingwars.com . It's a running joke between Pimp and I. nice try though.

RROD (360) - November 2005 - also speaks for itself.

dudeman: Always resorting to the RROD. I swear thats all the ammunition you Playstation Polesmokers have. Although it is hard to argue against RROD. I think you need new material, just like you mom needs some new moves in the bedroom. :p

its not the all the ammunition they have, its the only ammo they have

@ pimpdaddy And 4d graphics and curing cancer is new material. You have used that line quite a bit.

kungfurabbit: I never said my material was new. I just said that all you Sony Sausage Smugglers always resort to RROD. Try something different. If you have read my past posts, you know I can attack the PS3 on multiple issues.

At least my 4D and Curing Cancer applies to every PS3. You guys and your RROD doesn't apply to every 360. I have owned 2 360's now with no RROD. I know plenty of people who have no clue what the RROD is because they have never seen it.

I swear do I need to hold your hands and give you guys new material for attacking the 360???

And i can say i went threw 4 xbox 360's ,cause i did. The fact is the 360 hardware is shit. I'm not saying the games are shit cause their not. But the hardware seriously , both thumbs are down.

look at all the sony hate. ps3 rules and the beaten is going to get worst

pimp daddy just eat a dick loser ps3 rules faggot.

the guy above is really needed on the sister site

they both are promoting flamingwars.com ???
