Title: PS3
Post by: Samdy Gray on Monday, March 19, 2007, 12:20:17
Who's getting one then?

Released this Friday (23rd).

I soooooooo want one, but I think my missus would hit the roof if I went out and spent £450+ on something other than the house.

 :cry:

Ive heard Toys R' Us got some in today, if there's any left now is a different matter.

Did anyone buy one? You can buy one with ease, unlike the Wii.

Sometimes we have Wiis in stock in WHSmith but not always

I'm not getting PS3 yet because
a) I don't have that kind of money
b) It is bound to come down in price soon enough
c) I'm not sure I care

My manager at work has paid out £625 for his, he's getting 3 games with it, another control pad and an HDMI cable.

Did anyone hear about those people that waited outside Virgin in Oxford Street for 24 hours? they all got a new HDTV worth £2,000.

Do any of you Nintendo nerds know If I there is any way I can play original and gameboy colour games on a N64. I know there is an expansion that you could use for Pokemon garbage, but I would like to play some old gameboy Zelda games through the TV.  :roll:
Sad I know.

My brother paid £625 for one of these today, I only discovered this after trying to find him most of the day

I am not into games at all so wonder why the hell youd spend that on it!

The PS3 is going to be a major flop. Just as the PSP was compared to the DS. Sony have taken far to long to launch a next generation console and when they did its still not as good as the Xbox 360. Ok so its got Blu Ray. So what, not of interest to most people if you want just a quality games console especially if you don't have a HDTV! Plus where are all the games? None of them can compare to anything thats already in the market on the Xbox. Gears of War and Ghost Recon are simply superb cames not to mention when Halo 3 is launched later in the year.  The PS3 has failed already in its biggest market, the US and sales figures from February saw Sony sell only 127,000 PS3's in the States compared to Xbox selling 228,000 360's in the same month. If it fails in America be prepared to see the major software companies bringing fewer new releases to you in the future! You have been warned!
