Maybe I will get one this Christmas afterall!

Haha I would seriously Wait, Really have heard very little reports about the releases in the USA and Japan, and whether they have been successful or not... or how good the system is...

 

[St Helens RLFC]

That's true - not read any reviews or anything.

 

[getofmeland]

Hence why I am doubtful on the console, the whole front has been very quiet recently

 

[St Helens RLFC]

Expect a series of highly interesting TV adverts any time soon.

Surprisingly little press on the PS3, at least down here. Is that not strange?

 

[The Flash]

Agreed. Hope we see some stuff soon.

£500 per machine!?!?


**** that.

 

[SmokeyMonkey]

I thought it was £425?

there were 6 ps3's sitting on the shelf at circuit city about a month ago here..

 

[woosaah]

all i have heard is that the wii has been outselling the ps3 and the xbox has only just been outselling the wii.

but that was the xmas sales in the states

Plus a game @ £60...

I've had a brief play on the PS3, I played on Formula One 2006 & motostorm. Both games looked good, but nothing really impressive. Graphics where on par on the 360. I would never pay all that money on a ps3. I didn't get to use the six axis on the controller, but the guy who has the PS3 doesn't like the six axis. He reckons its just another gimmick that Sony has tried to sell the console.

 

[Bullitt]

I'd imagine after a gew generations of games the visual prowess of the PS3 will begin to shine through. Still won't be worth £500 though.

What everyone needs to remember is the fact that launch ***les rarely cause a problem for a new console. I would say 18 months or so it will be the biggest selling thing on the planet. Until the games get good I shall abstain for now, methinks.

 

[getofmeland]

I am personally not a fan of it, having played on one as well... see my write up a while ago...

360 was the best decision i made..

 

[O'Rothlain]

The PS3 will blow up here in a little while. I agree, give it some time and games and I think that it will outshine the Xbox 360. Hefty price tag with it, though. Here's to seeing price drops in the near future!

graphics comparison on gamespot http://au.gamespot.com/features/6162742/in...cs%20comparison
same gaming experience as 360.... do believe it will eventually be better over time than the 360 but will the 720 be out by then?

 

[gjohn85]

I read in the paper today & they where saying that us brits will pay £122 (£425) more for a ps3 than if you bought it in the US (£303).

 

[St Helens RLFC]

Yep. We Europeans always get screwed for prices. Don't worry - the prices will drop quickly after release.
