I'm still not sure if LBP has any actual game content
It seems more like facebook with a jump button than anything else
And Sony ought to be aware that the market is overflowing with games right now, in the middle of a financial situation. It's hard to justify buying your number-3 or number-4 pick

True, most people have a number of games on their wishlist at the moment and don't have the cash to buy their lower choices.
LBP has been reduced on play.com to £30, presumably to boost sales.
At the end of the day it doesn't matter if 1 million sales gets you #1 on the charts or #19 - it's still a million sales.
not from an economics perspective, you have to factor in the ‘cost’ of missed oppertunities.
Despite the hype, I don't see the game being a console seller. Plus, it's not the type of game I'd typically associate with a Sony console or the types who'd buy a PS3. Shame it's PS3 exclusive really, I wouldn't mind trying it on my 360 or my Wii.
I've enjoyed what I've played of it, so far it's definitely very laid back at least in the early stages. Not tried making anything myself yet I'm leaving that until I've played some more of the story mode.

If the Wii had a hard drive to store levels etc. on that would be a brilliant combination imo.
If the PS3 was a little cheaper then maybe but to be honest I am sticking with my 360 its done everything I have needed it to do. I think Sony need to have a big rethink on how its doing things.
I think Sony have shot themselves in the feet this Christmas.
The stream of A-Rated titles just released on the 360 has easily shot down any hopes of Sony making a big impact this holiday. That combined with the fact you can get a 360 for just a smidge over £100 in some places makes the 360 the strongest contender this winter.
Sounds like the Big-N aren't doing too well regarding sales either.
I managed to get a beta code for LBP to see what all the fuss was about. After playing it did I understand what its about, nothing I read really made sense to me. However its on my Christmas wishlist. I have too many games to play and clock first!!

like what? fable 2 and gow2? ps3 has resistance 2(halo for the ps3), and this game that where talking about.
besides that, most AA games are in both systems. i say ps3 aint doing too badly
thats kind of the problem though for the ps3, the majority of people went out and bought a 360 because it was the new console and now we have both ps3 and 360 the majority will surely just stick with their 360's because most games are out on both and identical so theres no point getting a new console. i really hate to say it and please dont think im a fanboy because id get a ps3 if there was enough ps3 only games but i cant really see the point in the ps3's existance right now and i dont know of anything worthwhile coming out, i know theres one or two good ps3 games but that simply isnt enough to warrant the console, lets see what happens though

the first one good great reviews and the 2nd one looks even better. 60 players online with no lag apparently. 8 co op story mode. what more do you want :)
i admit i only got a ps3 because my 360 kept breaking. had it been reliable as steel, i would of not bothered with a ps3 tbh

im still really looking forward to killzone 2, heavy rain, god of war 3, uncharted 2 - which is more than enough reason for me to have a ps3. especially as i am still enjoying metal gear 4, little big planet, folklore, uncharted and oblivion!
im not trying to start a flame war or bash the xbox but the only game that i know of on the 360's most anticipated list is alan wake.. which i will just get for the pc
i was going to get a 360 again but it doesnt seem worth it just for fable 2 - which i hope will get a pc release anyway

yea exatcly. you wont be dissapointed in having a ps3. their are many exclusive games coming out for it has noted above. games that a few 360 fans would love to have been on their console.
btw how much do i have to pay additionally if i traded in my premium console without the hdd with a core 360?

i can see lots of points, many as quoted by sp3n below. Oh yeah, also it doesn't RROD as much ;)

Exactly, most games i used to play on 360 i just get and prefer on PC anyway tbh. Think anyone who has played LBP can testify its a quality innovative game, just have to remember there is so many new releases right now across all platforms, including lots of sequels to well establish games.

yup, another red ring thread, died about 20 mins ago
I think you can answer the point yourself. ;)
i hope this doesnt turn into a ps3 vs 360 fight :(
Of course it will. Unfortunately the fanboyz with mental ages in the low single numbers can't help themselves.
Anyways, I think it'll be a shame if LBP doesn't take off as it seems to be very original and originality is what we need in the current gaming market where sequels, sequels and yet more sequels are the way to go. Unfortunately Sony always, always, ALWAYS shoot themselves in the foot when it comes to dealing with user generated content/ copyright protection. There's having a firm hand and then there's using a nuclear weapon which Sony seems to prefer.
lol.. why do people argue about 360 vs PS3? Its pointless, it really is.

dont try and be clever gtech my comment was completely my opinion and incase you thought i was saying the ps3 is rubbish i wasnt. all i was saying was for me, the same games are available on a cheaper format which i already own with no real difference.
god, there are too many members on this forum that are quick to point the fanboy finger but will soon jump to the defence of their beloved console, its like going mad that i own a kettle that sits in a base and not one that has the chord plug into the back.
and as for your point, just because the 360 is a cheap piece of crap that cant handle being switched on for more than ten minutes doesnt mean i see a need for something else, though it would make sense :mrgreen:
The amount of e-peen flexing and arguing that goes on between PS3 and 360 fans is unbelievable, its the games that matter the most not the consoles you play them on. Provided you have fun playing the games you want on the console you own at the moment it doesn't matter really does it? You could have the greatest piece of hardware in the world sat under your T.V if the software wasn't there for it wouldn't be worth anything and from where I'm sitting there isn't a huge difference between the two back catalogue wise except for the a dozen or so console exclusive titles which makes choosing between the two nothing but a matter of taste in games.
I can't believe I just read this whole thread.
Instead of interesting discussion, its still a load of fanboy nonsense. I want my 2 minutes back.
