Community


A question arose from one of the members of the group awhile ago and I thought it should be mentioned here. He said,"it seems that you guys are always smashing Sony. How come you never smash the 360 or Nintendo." I replied, "being that I don't have a 360 or a Wii my smashes and strong opinions are one of first hand experience." I could talk for days on end about Microsoft's flaws, but since I don't own a system I don't feel the need to bash it. I personally don't think Nintendo has any flaws. Let me explain. Their system is durable and it serves its purpose(to play games). Many hardcore gamers may say, "they don't have any good hardcore games." That's a choice Nintendo made with their console to focus on the casual gamer, not a flaw. Their third party support is a little lacking, but all companies lack a little support in a few areas. Microsoft has very few first party support, Sony is coming along with their 3rd party support and their first party support is strong, but they can't hold onto an exclusive. Even though Devil May Cry, FF, and GTA are third party titles, they should have been bought out as timed exclusives at least. The purpose of the our smashes is to tell, critique, and vent what is wrong with a personal issue at hand. Since all of us have a PS3 and this is a PS3 website, we are going to voice our opinions about Sony and developers and maybe our readers will be in agreement or disagreement and voice their comments. Since you have both systems and you can speak from your experience by all means voice your opinions here. I would like to smash the Sony community. Simply put, YALL PS3 OWNERS OUT THERE WITHOUT A MIC NEED TO STEP YOUR GAME UP. See the people in home talking with one another. Where is that taking place on the Playstation network?

lol Good smash. I think that Sony in general needs to UP THEIR GAME, not step their game up. They are doing a great job by listening to the community, but it's not enough to take the edge over 360 or Wii.

About the microphone support on PS3. I totally agree, but I think Sony should AT LEAST have an official PS3 headset, like the 360 has. It's not fair making us buy a usually expensive microphone, or the PSEYE. The PSEYE is a bad microphone. Crappy noise cancellation.

Why can't we have a cheap PS3 headset, that at least works right?

I don't think it's our faults for not having mics, it's Sony's. I have a mic myself, but to all those that don't, go buy one at Wal-Mart, or wait until Sony makes an official one.

@ J-Vas

all PC mics are compatable with the PS3 i saw a cheap ps3 headset at gamestop brand new for 9.99 ...and tell me this how is Sony making you buy a mic are they dragging you to the store and emptying out your pockets..NO!!! its not manditory they bundled Warhawk with a headset and now Socom so dont BS about them making you buy an expensive mic because there are cheap ones out there and M$ mic isnt wireless and breaks very easily my cousin has had 5 of them ..

as far as smashing the Ps3 it good that you see the flaws in the ps3 but instead of always hating on the ps3 appreciate it tell some reasons why you bought it why its a good machine to own.... smashing the ps3 soo much.. might as well bought a Wii or 360 dont you think?

I'm not hating on the PS3, I love it, but I would just like to see an official mic. They could make a lot more sales with an official mic, because there would be a better "community" aspect in the PS3.

Now, it doesn't matter if the PS3's official mic breaks easily, it's all a matter of taking care of the thing. I'm not saying your cousin's careless, but damn, five? My friend broke his because he stepped on it on accident, and it's his fault. If he would have took care of it and put it on a shelf or something, problem solved.

And I don't smash the PS3 so much, I back the PS3 100%, I'm just trying to let out some ideas that I think could help the PS3.

Fuck the 360 and Wii. hahaha
