Isn't it still cheaper to buy 40GB PS3, new HDD and new PS2 than 60GB PS3 playing PS2 games?

In my country it is. So I bought 40BG PS3 for 700$ (yeah, the price is a killer in most European countries), new 250 GIG HDD for 95. New PS2 costs 200$.

So, to sum up:

PS3 40GB + 250HDD + PS2 = 1000$.

New 60GB PS3 costs 1200$.

I am left with one spare 40GB 5400 rpm 2,5'' SATA HDD (I'll get an USB case for it for 20$) and 200$ in my pocket. Plus I have 100% compatibility with PS2 games and no problems connecting it to SDTV. Unless I'd have if I bought PS2, but what's the point? Maybe If I got one for 100$, then maybe...

* All prices are for Poland in relation 1USD = 2PLN (more/less what we have today).

Hmm, IMHO PC here will be the most suitable. But since you want to choose between PS3 and XBOX 360 I can't help you, I can only say, that I chose PS3. Generally even though 40GB version is in my country more expensive than 360 Elite, PS3 has more power, brighter future and more features, plus online gaming is free as far as I'm correct. From what I've seen even the lowered down resolution in PS3 doesn't make games look noticeable worse. And one thing more. DVD-HD is dead, so why to overpay for X360 if no films are available or at least very few on HD-DVD, plus BD films are 50$ each, so no tragedy here.

Plus it is sick to pay for a game and then pay monthly fee to play it online or pay for extra content. That's why I think I'll get PC version.

[QUOTE="dvader654"]Neogaf had their end of the yeahGOTY vote and awards, as usual its better than most every site. The winners were voted on by over 5000 gamers. Here are the results, Galaxy won GOTY.UpInFlames

Way too console oriented for my taste - Crysis not being one of the top 5 FPSs of the year and The Witcher ignored in the RPG category is kind of laughable. Ditto for the adventure category, obviously those guys can't differentiate an action game from an adventure game.

I second that view. GOTY is a laughing stuff on GS. I don't even watch the video anymore. Sadness...

I have to say I was shocked just five minutes ago when I saw the GameSpot Images button showed up and I thought: "No... They didn't... But they did!" Thank you for implementing this option, soon I will post more my screenshots of games that don't have them.

Now... When the old reviewing system for GS users is coming back or will this one be enhanced, or maybe it wa and I don't know it, cause I got so fed up with the new one I didn't dare to write any review since then.

Nah, you are overreacting mate. It's Eidos' (I guess their branch responsible for advertisement) business to promote their games on sites like those and it is GameSpot's business to make sure their reviews are trustworthy and reliable as well as their staff. Just the American way of doing things. For us Europeans much more important is the idea, they value money. Just plain cultural difference.

As for Jeff, well it was his time to go. Hi supported dumbing down review system and since he didn't see nothing wrong in action that hit the community... well I am surprised that he wasn't fired next day. If site was run by European media that cares about the content and is faithfull to its roots he would loose his job instantly. On his place, I would just stay quiet or do what Greg did. The review of Oblivion and unbelievably high score meant that it was Greg's time, he just got lost and allowed his preferences and overall media pressure affect his review. Plus console versions got much higher score for no reason.

I second the idea of bringing back old rating system! BRING IT BACK!!!!

As for the poor admins and mods they can do nothing about that. GS staff just doesn't care enough to listen to our request or just to show any interest on this forum. Admins will lock all our posts, cause they know nothing will be done and its their job to do so.

But nevertheless:

BRING BACK OLD REVIEW SYSTEM FOR US USERS!!
