Honestly, QJ. This is some of the oldest news you could've posted. This is for ALL bluray players July 1-Sept 30. And it doesn't "come with them," you have to mail the UPC and form away from them, and you have certain movies to choose from, they're not of your choosing entirely. Way to twist the words again. Please, report the information properly and in a semi-timely matter.... I don't usually complain but this is just unbelievable. If you're going to report on a deal, report it accurately and don't change information.

# thanks for that observation.Guest 2007-07-15 15:19
but on the contrary, if you click on the thumbnail on the right (which will enlarge the image), you will see that the 5 Blu-ray movies come free "WHEN YOU BUY A SONY PLAYSTATION 3 BETWEEN JULY 1 AND SEPTEMBER 30". therefore the deal on the blu-ray movies are conditional upon you purchasing a PS3 unit within the specified time.



while they may have a separate deal on all blu-ray players, this one highlights the PS3 price cut.

Nice but no thanks. Sony is an evil company that won't lower the system for a long time like PS2. Look at the PSP which wont even lower some more and what a jerk they are. They are very selfish and pig, really. They have no mercy on people's money and their wishes. Now, I won't buy it at all, no thanks!

# Just get a 360, you wont regret itAoxomamoxoA 2007-07-15 19:56
You won't be missing much. There is nothing good on the PS3 that you cant find done 10 times better on the 360.



i.e.

Gears of War > Resistance: Fall Of Man

Forza 2 > Gran Tourismo HD demo v 1.2

DiRT > Motorstorm



The rest of the PS3 games are just Xbox games (Ninja Gaiden and all the poorly done ports), which is kinda funny since the majority of PS3 fans refuse to purchase a 360...even though most of the games on the ps3 are from 360 or at least on it first and done better...



Actually, the only cool thing about the ps3 is F@H and the web browser (even though its quite slow), but neither of those things add to the gameplay element. All the rest of the ps3 features dont compare to the 360. Most fanboys are too stubborn to realize it, since most refuse to even give 360 a try. They would rather stick with blind brand loyalty than weigh the pros and cons.



Before anyone gets their panties in a twist, I do own both.



Live Gamertag: Sublime 1985 (with a space)

PSN: Sublime1985 (no space, of course)

"There is nothing good on the PS3 that you cant find done 10 times better on the 360."



can we say.....an idiot ??



have you heard Mark rein,s recent interview saying UT3 on PS3 runs better than Gears on the 360,and it would be the only system to feature PC mods in it



http://ps3.qj.net/index.php?+pg+49+aid+97586+act+success



i guess you didnt



"All the rest of the ps3 features dont compare to the 360. Most fanboys are too stubborn to realize it"



like the Red ring of death,sure thats an incredible 360 feature but i dont many people would like it,i dont mention the 50$ Live i dont need to pay a cent for what i have been doing for ages on the PC



"The rest of the PS3 games are just Xbox games (Ninja Gaiden and all the poorly done ports)"



i see...seem i was a fool,and there i was thinking games like Killzone 2,Lair,Warhack, Heavenly sword,and UT3,Little big planet,Uncharte d and MGS4 are all ps3 exclusive seems i was mistaken [UT3 will take a very long time to come to the 360 and with no mods..check the link above]



"Gears of War > Resistance: Fall Of Man

Forza 2 > Gran Tourismo HD demo v 1.2

DiRT > Motorstorm"



quiet a fair comparison,Forz a 2 is so bad that you can only compare it to a demo,i think its also right to compare Gears of war with resistance since Killzone 2 destroys it....and isnt Dirt multiplatform ??



"Before anyone gets their panties in a twist, I do own both."



you really really shouldnt own a PS3,i suggest you sell it and buy an extra 360 in-case your first overheats and leaves you to the repair center,you have the other one to console you

when you click on the thumbnail, you cant see or read the fine print that states "mail in rebate offer" Which then directs you to the rebate form that is for ALL bluray players.

# Perfectly written!Guest 2007-07-16 03:09
This site needs to get better news editors, all you have to do is read on various major websites, Sony/Disney/etc to realize this is a deal for anyone who's purchasing a ps3 from any store. Just keep your receipt!

# I would not buy a 360Guest 2007-07-16 03:12
Two of my friends bought 360's and both have gotten the rrod. One of them got it fixed and it broke again. The other friend is still waiting for his to come back from microsoft.



Dirt is on PS3 also but I still like Motorstorm better.



The sixaxis motion sensing is way better than 360's could ever be. I heard they were making it for the 360 but you will have to buy new controllers and spend more money.



I also like that PS3 has free online play. I would never pay for what I already get for free.



The movies you get in this deal are about five years old and all on tv for free now anyway. You have to mail in your reciept or a copy of it and the movies will come in the mail.

Yes, DiRT is multiplat, but DiRT is a better game than Motorstorm overall and it is on the 360.



I heard that sony was making a rumble controller for the ps3, so you too will have to buy new controllers and spend more money. I prefer rumble over tilt controls anyway, motorstorm could have seriously benefitied with some rumble support.



True, PS3 has online play, but you get what you pay for. Not only does the PS Store only have about 12 demos to choose from, but their arcade games (still, only about 10 or so) cost more than what Xbox Live charges for their arcade games. Xbox Live has over 100 demos, and there is a new arcade game every wednesday. Plus the user interface is just plain better (i.e. Guide Button).

Hi AoxomamoxoA,



I think your statement of owning both consoles is a lie, seeing the obvious amount of bias in your post. Be that as it may, I WILL be checking up the PSN ID listed below.



I own BOTH consoles and would NEVER say that one is so definitely better than the other in ALL respects. Incidentally, that is why I think you are lying with respect to OWNING both consoles.



As Passer-by above me has been good to point out, there are several games on the PS3 which are at least as good as, if not better than, on the 360 (Oblivion for PS3, for one, comes to mind when compared to the patched or unpatched version for 360).



Now, if you have anything SANE and REASONABLE to add, please do so, otherwise please don't bother to post the same "My Daddy's stronger than your Daddy" crap again.



It's a shame - I thought your posts were, at times, reasonable enough, but you proved me wrong.



Regards,

MTK

Hi AoxomamoxoA,



Regarding your comments:



" Yes, DiRT is multiplat, but DiRT is a better game than Motorstorm overall and it is on the 360."



That's just a point of view. I personally happen to think that Motorstorm is more fun.



" heard that sony was making a rumble controller for the ps3, so you too will have to buy new controllers and spend more money. I prefer rumble over tilt controls anyway"



Well, if the 360 does happen to implement motion-sensing (which I don't think they will), then you would have to buy those new Controllers anyway. And as for preference of Rumble over tilt-control, that again is down to individual preference - you do not speak for everybody. For example, I, myself, like the motion-sensing AND the Rumble. Unlike you with your irrational prejudice, I don't just dislike the motion-sensing because I don't like the PS3 or because I don't have it.



"motorstorm could have seriously benefitied with some rumble support."



Agreed.



"True, PS3 has online play, but you get what you pay for. Not only does the PS Store only have about 12 demos to choose from, but their arcade games (still, only about 10 or so) cost more than what Xbox Live charges for their arcade games. Xbox Live has over 100 demos, and there is a new arcade game every wednesday. Plus the user interface is just plain better (i.e. Guide Button)."



I think you are confusing online play with the PSN. I am a Gamer, and unlike you, I can say that the PSN (and the number of Demos and Arcade games) has NOTHING to do with whether you can play online FOR FREE or not. So stop misrepresenting and comparing Online Play to the content on PSN.

And, as for comparing XBL to PSN (for Content and User-interface), yes, at present, XBL trumps PSN in both those aspects.

However, nothing is set in stone, and I would say wait until PSN Home (with all its bells-and-whistles) is released until you declare XBL as the Winner in this game.

After all, you can't declare any winner until the race is run, can you?



Regards,

MTK

1st of all, DiRT is multiplatform



2nd of all, DiRT on PS3 is way better than on X360, the developpers said so.
