NBA 07


Extra Credit

NBA 07 is one of the hottest sports game on the market. This game is the only tlaunch title that was released in 1080p high definition. The graphics are so good that you can actually see the sweet run down and drip of a player. The game also uses the controllers sensor to control a player to do spin moves and crossovers. NBA 07 allows 2 people to play online and 1-4 people to play without going online. The makers have also added nice features like an open shot indicator, and a power boarding system. I think that this a good game to have and I also hope to get it for myself.

Blu-Ray Player for PS3

Extra Credit
Many people think that the PS3 is too much money for a video game system, those people are wrong. THe PS3 can go online, play music, DVD's, view photos, and e-mail friends. But better than all that is the Blu-Ray player. THe Blu-Ray player is basically a DVD player that plays movies in 1080p, the highest definition that televisions handle right now. A normal Blu-Ray player would cost at least $800, but its is included in the PS3 at its normal price. Sony is actually losing money for each system they sell because of the Blu-Ray player. This is what makes the PS3 such a great deal.

PS3=Computer

The PS3's technology is so powerful and advanced that it is practically a computer. With this system you are able to surf the internet. It even is able to have a keyboard and mouse hooked up to it for easier navigation on the web. You can e-mail other friends with PS3's right from the home page of the system. It also allows a headset to be used to chat with other friends online. You can even download pictures and music to view and listen to on the system. The Playstation 3 basically cancels the need to even buy a personal computer.

Its theme is aliens that russia and start to take over the entire world. The PS3 can handle up to 40 people online for this game, which is amazing.

I Got A PS3

Extra Credit
I was so pumped for christmas hoping that I would get a PS3. My dream came true on Christmas Eve when my brother gave me a 60 GB PS3. He also gave me an extra controller and 2 games. The two games that he got me were Marvel:Ultimate Alliance and Need For Speed:Carbon. I like the playstation store where I am able to download demos of Sudoku and Gran Turismo. The graphics on the Ps3 is such a good quality that it seems real. The load time is also much faster than the PS2 because of its 8 cell procesors.

I Got a Preorder

On October, 28 I sat outside a Toysrus all night to make sure I recieved a Playstation 3. I went with my Dad, and 2 friends. We arrived at the door of the store just after noon the day before. There were already two other people in line ahead of us that had been there since 9 that morning. It was not so boring the first few hours, but we did not bring enough things to keep us occupied for that long. Then after the sun went down it was really annoying because it was cold and hard to do anything but sit around. We also forgot about the time change which added another hour to our long wait. After all was said and done we had waited in line for 23 long hours to recieve a piece of paper that said we could get a PS3 on the day they are released.

PS3 Games

Sony is planning on releasing multiple games on the launch day of the Playstation 3. The have also made sure that some of their best selling games will be available to gamers that want to rip open their system right away. Some of these games are Madden 2007, Tony Hawk's Project 8, and Call of Duty 3. Releasing top selling games on launch day is very important to any video game company because they want people to be looking forward to play the games as soon as possible. This means that they sell more systmes and games sonner which also takes business away from other competing companies. They made a smart choice by releasing Madden 2007 with the launch because just about almost every gamer I know is a very big fan of all of the Madden game. Sony is hoping that their wide selection of games will help sell many systmes. Although it has good games for the release many people are still not sure if its worth it because of haow much the system costs.

PS3 Controller

The Playstation 3 Controller was a hard decision for the design group of the system. They had originally released a photo of the controller looking more like a "boomerang" than something that would be used for a video game. The reason for this design was that they wanted to create something new instead of using the same controller that they had used for their first two systems. After many complaints about the controller they decided to go back to the original design. They also made the controller wireless so that you do not have to deal with a cord and its length. This is a very popular feature that is very important to many gamers. They also added a "playstation" button so that you can go to the system's main screen. This screen allows gamers to access the video game, music, photos, and other cool features. This controller is very nice and more gamer friendly than any other controller out there.

Limited Supplies


The Playstation 3 has had development problems for a long time. The system was supposed to be released in the spring of 2006, but do to problems with the Blue Ray software they had to postpone the release until November 17 of the same year. Altough the wait is longer it is good because if they had tried releasing the system in the spring it would have cost at least $1200. By Sony waiting half a year they were able to cut the cost in half. The system has so many diiferent parts from different companies that it takes Sony a long time to make them. For the release date the Sony corporation is only scheduled to have 400,000 systmes for a worldwide launch. This is very few compared to the Xbox 360 which had 2 million for their first release, and the Xbox 360's were sold out when the stores opened. This just shows that the Playstation 3 will be in very high demand for a very long time.

Playstsation 3 Preorders



As of October 10 all the preorders at gamestop for the PS3 have already been sold. Within 5 minutes after the stores opened all of the preorders were already gone. Gamestop was not planning on having the preorders be sold until the beginning of November, but they surprised many people by selling them 21 days before the expected date. This shows that with very little information that sony has released that the PS3 will be a very popular item. On top of that their will only be about 400,000 system for a worldwide launch on November 17. Many people that I know are planning to stay out all night for a PS3 since they were not able to get a preorder. With hardly any Ps3's for the launch date I think that it will be a long time before they are not going to be sold out.
