blu ray player zone free image
Mmmm.... C
I had an Xbox 360 till the red lights of death took over. I am not going to invest in another Microsoft system because of the disappointment. I don't really like the Wii so I'm probably going to get a PS3.
I read mixed reviews about this system. Mostly criticized for the dim game selection, and that the system does not use its full potential. Is this a system that you think will excel and eventually take over the gaming industry or is it the biggest flop of all time?
(also does it play DVDs or just Blu-Rays)
Answer
Pros:
-Typically comes with larger HDDs, which even then are simple and easy to upgrade, not to mention doing so doesn't void warranty (if for some reason you need ridiculous amounts of space. Some people do, but I understand it doesn't appeal to the masses)
-Free Online Play (Despite being free, it's quite stable)
-Blu-Ray Player (plays DVDs and most .avi files as well)
-Wi-Fi adapter built-in
-Rechargeable Controllers out of box
-Decent library after a two-year buildup
-Hideo Kojima's current exclusivity (MGS, ZotE, etc)
-PSN has a very nice collection over the years, with Pixeljunk [developers] being among my favorite. Arcade doesn't at all have a worse collection, but the PSN is decent nowadays to where it's still worth mentioning that you have something to substitute Arcade with.
Cons:
-Online play options aren't as robust as Live, including....
-No cross-game chatting, yet. You get the option to send texts via virtual keyboard, but it's difficult to find people willing to use it.
-*Slightly* smaller gaming library
-Because there's no unified online gaming network, the difficulty in joining a friend's online game varies from title to title.
-Wish it had Castle Crashers (though at least I have Pixeljunk :))
Neutral Zone:
-Six-Axis functionality (while rarely ever used *well*, at least it's not a con as it's rarely required)
-It has Home, which presents a unique, new console experience to interact with fellow players. It gives you a way to find other like-minded gamers. This is a neutral zone, however, because the novelty of Home BETA faded very quickly. Granted, it's beta, but they may have missed with this one. It is, however, not a CON simply because it's an optional feature, so it's not like it hurts.
And there you have it. Honestly, I think the first deciding factor ALWAYS comes down to what games you want from your exclusives. I got the Wii because I wanted Twilight Princess, and the PS3 because I was addicted to Warhawk. However, if you find yourself as more of a Gears of War or Halo guy, maybe you should get another 360. Gran Turismo, Metal Gear Solid, or Warhawk more of your thing? Get a PS3
If you like any other shooter: guess what, they're almost always multiplatform. Do you love sports games? They're also multiplatform (I WILL admit that they are slightly better on the 360, but the difference itself is not a console decider).
Second factor is gaming partners. It's much more entertaining to game with people you know, regardless of how the console performs.
For me it simply came down to the fact that I was unwilling to pay for online play, though I do have a great deal of respect for how good Live is.
As far as criticisms you've reported:
-Dim game selection was a problem at the very beginning of the Playstation 3's life-cycle. However, at the end of two years it's shaped up. Library isn't as wide as Microsoft's, but it has a quality lineup. In fact, looking at http://vgchartz.com/games/index.php?&results=50&name=&console=&keyword=&publisher=&genre=&order=Score&boxart=Both&showdeleted=®ion=All&alphasort= :
I notice that we nearly have a 2:1 advantage of PS3 games over 360 games in the top 50 rated games (granted, only one source).
-Game developers don't use the console's true potential simply because most game developers shoot for multiplatforming their games. What does that mean? That developers don't take advantage of the processing power of the PS3 because they still want the games playable on the 360. It's not a bash on the 360, but rather explaining that it's simply the easy business decision. If people are to take advantage of the PS3's hardware power it won't be until the later half of this console generation.
-Is it going to take over the industry? Heck no, at least not in this forseeable future. Biggest flop? HARDLY! It's a beast of a machine. Its misguided, slow start did indeed hurt it indefinitely, but the console is still selling nonetheless. It's a powerful, versatile machine with potential yet to be discovered.

Make Panasonic Blu-Ray Player ZONE FREE?
Brendan
I have a Panasonic 3D Blu-Ray Recorder (DMR-BWT720)
Can I make it ZONE FREE and Multi-region for Blu-rays with a remote code and switch back and forth, or does it need chipping?
I want to legitimately buy original 3D Blu-rays from abroad which aren't out in Britain.
If it needs chipping, can you personally recommend someone you've used personally?
