If the games are getting reviews such as this from the start, that certainly places the PS3 on solid footing at least from the launch window. The high-quality of Resistance doesn't surprise me at all, as it would be enough of a game to make me want to buy a PS3 (but I don't plan on it, yet...).
Launch games appear to be slightly ahead of that of the 360 titles based on the Japanese reviews, so it will be interesting to see what the Americans will say about two weeks from now. I can't say that I'm expecting entirely different reviews here, but slightly different seems reasonable. I doubt Gundam will do that well, while on the other hand Resistance probably stands a good chance for solid 10s from the likes of IGN.
...As I always say, "we will see."

"Solid 10s"? I seriously, seriously doubt that. IGN hasn't rated a game a "10" since 2001, and while Resistance has a good amount of hype, I doubt it'll even get a 9.5. But then again, I would think something like this would get no less than a 9, if it lives up to the hype and all.
But time will tell. It'll be interesting to see how the PS3 launch compares with the X360 launch and the Wii launch (especially with Zelda on it's belt).

I'm worried very much, and EA in particular is making these worries more feasible with the announcements for the next Madden and NFS Carbon, that this will just allow publishers to force players to buy things that should have been (and have been before) in the game when you buy it, à la GT:HD.

This has nothing to do with that, thanks for reading the article. This is about Sony funding titles that will be relased for download, similar to Xbox live Arcade. Titles like flOw, BlastFactor, Criminal Crackdown, Lemmings 2, and PS1 and PS2 games...this has absolutely nothing to do with microtransactions...

That could be viewed as either making games only buyable/downloadable over the internet, or microtransactions. I think the Sony version of XBLA could be great, however, so long as it has better games than what XBLA has.Article

Well, with all due respect, you're taking it out of context based on one sentence. Sometimes, as in all reading, you have to read *everything* to come away with the intended meaning.
They are speaking soley, only, and completely, about games that are downloadable in their entirety. One game. Not added content to other games (though that is still present, but this article has nothing to do with that).
With that being said, so far, it looks like there are a lot of original titles on the way for the PS3, and a lot of them support multiplayer. i'm really hoping the Sudoku game will support online multiplayer...that would pwn...I love sudoku.

You are correct; and I will admit that, while I did click on the link, I only skimmed through it briefly.

Does anyone know if the PS3 will be offered at launch with both the reflective piano black and the matt silver finish that Sony showed in the promo pics last year?
The reason I ask is that since then I haven't seen any additional pics of the PS3 with the matt silver finish, and all the recent demo models have all had the reflective piano black finish.
After having just bought one of the new Limited Edition PS2, which comes in a really nice looking matt silver finish with matching controller, it makes me really want the same type of finish for the PS3. đź‘Ť

Nope, the black is only available at launch. Sony might have different color varieties for the PS3 in the future, though.

There's a Japanese commercial that I just don't understand. It's a kid, I think, as a passenger in a car driving on the freeway. He stares at four factory smoke stacks at various angles. That's it.

Back on topic, before we get another warning for slow chatting, did anybody else get burned by Best Buy? They took their PS3 web page down when they accidentally sold PS3 ahead of time.
Here's the old link I used... http://www.bestbuy.com/site/olspage...1&type=product&id=1156202764702&ref=06&loc=01

I was at Target the other day poking around for some X-Mas ideas (yes, I'm already thinking about it) and as I was taking a walk though the video game section for kicks, I couldn't help but laugh as I looked at the PS3 display. This was of course is accordance with displays at Best Buy, Circuit City, and even the local Meijer store. With the hype machine in full swing, it really is offering a lot of false hope to a lot of people who seem to think they are going to be able to get one before X-Mas.
...Ahhh, the beauty of capitalism!
Is there anyone here who had a pre-order? I've heard about some of them being pushed back as late as February or March 2007, and even then that looks a bit grim. I can't imagine what these things are going to go for on eBay, it scares me, really.
