I will make you a deal...Why don't you just give me the $600 and I will kick you in the nuts and we will call it even. Waste of money right now IMO. Blueray will fail and that is majority of the cost associated with the PS3.

You basically had to re-up $250 for the Wiimote + Virtual Console (which is another name for emulator).
I have played with ALL the systems extensively and do believe the PS3 to be the better system....later. Right now I can't fathom why anyone would want to pony up $600 for it right now.
Dude, it's $600.:dry: I don't know how to make it any clearer.Quote:

anyways i think there are enough games out there for ps3 that will keep me busy for good time....so i don't think that's a bother for me...
Add to that, the games are $60.
I don't get the rush.
However, go for it. It's your (or your mum's) money.
BTW do u knw the kinda technology PS3 has, Sony is actually losing around $250 for every premium console they sell as compared to 360 premium which makes around $150 for every console they sell....
and BTW its my hard earned money not my mom's....:huh:
All of the stuff about how much money Sony is losing matters none.Quote:

This games for the system right now suck ass when comparing it's price tag and I couldn't care less about Blu-Ray since I'm not gonna pay $30-$40 to buy the movies.
If there were affordable Blu-Ray burners and recordable media then that would be another story.
Btw, I didn't get a 360 'till I got a deal on it. At $400 I was willing to wait. At $300 (for the premium) I could bite.
I would recommend a Wii if you are trying to get in shape and/or have lots people over often. Other than that it's a total rip-off.
I'm sure Nintendo was thinking, "Hey we can come out with this new controller and basically make the Gamecube in a smaller box."
It lacks a robust online component, there's basically no graphical improvement, and the game volume is lacking. I think I had 10 good GC games which makes the initial cost of it unjustified when comparing my Xbox and PS2.
I wonder if the $250 for Wii will be justified.
As for the PS3, Resistance is a damn good game so that should keep you occupied although not $600 worth.
So much for MGS4.Quote:

I could go on about the many exclusive games it'll have but just wait.
Yay UK PS3 store just got updated with a new game...:happy:

Also there are new videos in the store:

Making of 'This is Living'.

I have both the 360 and the PS3. I'm starting to get mad at Microsoft for not producing a console that can't last a year. I had to send in my lauch 360 to be repaired and the new one I got about 7-8 months ago just crapped out. Oh well... back to Tech support to get another coffin. My PS3 is soild so far. It has frozen on me a couple times using older PS2 games, but that could have been scratches on the disc. With news of upscaling DVDs as well as older PS1 and PS2 games in the next patch, I couldn't be happier. Source: http://dvd.ign.com/articles/791/791205p1.html
Overall I am happy with both systems, but wish I had better luck with the 360.
Sony claims their bluray drive shortage is over and analysts are saying that there will be a price drop for the PS3. HOLD ON TO YOUR WALLET!
^^^
source?
I would anyway. Why would I rush to get an expensive console that has virtually no games and plays expensive movie disc that I also won't buy.Quote:

I don't that there will be a price drop. Sony is counting on the good games to revitalize sales so I would think they'd try that first.
Who knows? They may throw in a bigger hard drive and drop the price (or just the bigger hd).
Either way, I'd wait.
