I just went into Blockbusters to rent the new James Bond film, and I saw a poster for the PS3. All I've got to say is £425!!? :eek: Is anyone actually paying that?

Loadsa ppl are paying it, i heard the games are like £70-80 aswell.
I couldn't be arsed tho.
problem is, sony have released the PS3 with too high a spec, too early.
it's too soon for a console this powerful to be sold at anything lower than the price it's at, just because of the tech price. they wont even be making any profit on the machines themselves, just to bring the price down.
but then, they had to release another console, because of the 360 and the wii.
Oh right, fair enough just a whisper- a few of the xbox games are £50 tho.
I've bought one.
As for the games, yes, I agree they are a rip off.
Only game I'd buy a PS3 for would be killzone, and that, not worth it
i remember paying nearly £70 for sonic two the day it was released, and that was in the early 90's
You need to give time for good titles to come out. I never judge it based on release games because they are usually crap.
really? i didn't think they were that expensive. :eek: :eek:
God, I hate when people say 'at the end of the day' to try and underline an argument. I was even talking about this last night in that 'things that BUG me' thread in anything goes.
Anyway, at the end of the day fuck all. There's not a chance I would have bought the PS2 based on the first batch of games. But after a while, once Sony started wooing me with their dazzling titles (much better than anyone else's), my hand was forced.
My hand hasn't been forced yet with PS3, but we'll see in time.
I would'nt be like "cool can I have a go", I'd be like "shit were did You get that dosh from, fool".
I know it includes a blu-ray player and what, but I don't want a blu-ray player. I want a machine to play games. They should have waited until blu-ray was as common as DVDs are now before putting it in a console.
lies!
I'd say both
yeah, i remember my grandad buyying it for me because he took my older bother on hoilday that year and not me,
i still play with the old megadrive even now and then, you cant beat a good game of f22 interceptor
So it comes down to what only appears on one console - and GTA4 is coming out on both, and Gears of War, etc, are already out on the 360 - so the games will always out.
With the price difference though, the games will need to be unique and very, very popular.
Really I think the key will be this Christmas, when we should have a price drop first unless Sony are really stupid, that would bring it under 400 quid and have people queuing out the doors for them.
Never mind the player interviews, the pundits in the studio are just as bad. Jamie Redknapp must say 'at the end of the day' before any statement he makes, but I've already expressed this in that other thread.
Your missing otu Halo 3, which will with out any doubt be the the most popyalr and best onlive game of the next generation consoles. There's still no game at the momment that can top Halo 2 for console online playability.
I miht buy the PS3 but as with the last geeration I firmly beleive the Microsoft macine will be my favourite console.
