I have seen quite a few side by side comparisons and so far the 360 games are looking better. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Greetings Posted March 22, 2007 Report Share Posted March 22, 2007 Can't believe people go so manic about a stupid game console.I played these things a few times and they are just the most boring things ever. The only time I ever enjoyed them was 13 years ago. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

TomN Posted March 22, 2007 Report Share Posted March 22, 2007 I won't be getting one soon, maybe one day but not yet. However the price tag of 500 is a bit pricey but you have to look at it this way your getting a blu ray dvd player aswell and these dvd players alone cost about 400/500 don't they?

Sneakers O'Toole Posted March 23, 2007 Report Share Posted March 23, 2007 I'll be getting one, can't quite afford it yet but soon.Just want it for Metal gear Solid, Gran Turismo and Pro Evo. Only games i play. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Joe Papasnap Maher Posted March 23, 2007 Report Share Posted March 23, 2007 Well, i just been down to hmv, Oxford Circus ( 7.30 this morning ), and there was only about 20 people outside.The guy who was at the front, was a right nerd LOL. Apparently those, the 1st 100 customers who bought from hmv got a £1000 sony tele Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Bondy Posted March 23, 2007 Report Share Posted March 23, 2007 (edited) I've got one already, i was out in town last night and Game was opening at midnight so i popped in and bought it( brother then took it home) but was too wasted when i got home to play it.To be honest i dont see any difference in xbox 360 and ps3 i just prefer playstations and they have muuch better controllers IMO.Although i do agree they have wank release titles for it, but im just looking forward to GTA4 and mgs4, ffXIII etcEDIT: o dear, i just watched a video from that smashmyps3 how sad are those people camping out for longer than 18hours for a ps3 Edited March 23, 2007 by Bondy Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Trebor Posted March 23, 2007 Report Share Posted March 23, 2007 To be fair though, the PS3 is a Blu-Ray player as well as a beast of a games console. Considering the Samsung Blu-Ray DVD player is going for £538 on Amazon and Sony want £500 for the console - it's not such a bad deal. I'm not saying that I'm getting one, although if Oxford Street's HMV is giving a freakin' tele away with them it does sound rather tempting!They had just been told they had been rewarded for their patience and loyalty with a free £2,500 high-definition TV on which to play their shiny new console.

Simon Posted March 23, 2007 Report Share Posted March 23, 2007 That was only for the 1st 100 customers, they also got a free Taxi ride home too.Thats what everyone is saying, making an excuse for the simply ridiculous price. End of the day, that's one of the main reasons people seem to be buying one, because its just a cheap alternative to another technology.Hell, a few game creators have retracted their release titles and waiting a few weeks because their scared they wont sell.I hope it falls even more on its arse then it already has.

Trebor Posted March 23, 2007 Report Share Posted March 23, 2007 I hope it falls even more on its arse then it already has. Why? Just out of curiosity, I mean, it's just a games console! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Simon Posted March 23, 2007 Report Share Posted March 23, 2007 Because, for some reason, it angers me that Sony believe they can charge 500+ quid for a fooking games console. Its simply mind boggling how they thought that was a good idea. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dan6061 Posted March 23, 2007 Report Share Posted March 23, 2007 I'll get one when they're at a resonable price...Although i'm happy with my PS2. barely play it anyway... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Its simply mind boggling how they thought that was a good idea.I guess they charge so much because they know people will buy them - if not straight away, in the near future after the initial release. Either flog them cheap and sell more, or more expensive with only the die hard Sony geeks buying them Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It's not like I would buy one anyway.Let's not forget that the PS2 was a DVD player too, I never had a DVD player before that. And that's ten times more useful than a Blu-ray player.

It's not like I would buy one anyway.Let's not forget that the PS2 was a DVD player too, I never had a DVD player before that. And that's ten times more useful than a Blu-ray player.Meh. Aside from your personal gripes/preferences - People do want a Blu-Ray player, hence why they've been selling? It was the same with DVDs, only the tech fags and well off had them, they were super duper expensive. Now look at it, pretty much everyone has at least one DVD player in their home and they're piss cheap. Gamers would surely want a blu-ray player too? Capable (obviously) of playing Blu-Ray DVDs as well as, more importantly, Blu-Ray Games which lots of gaming companies can utilise to put more content into their games?Speculations: It's just that it's technology and release date have meant that it's come into a fragile market, HD still isn't that huge, neither is Blu-Ray or HD-DVD, when it's all a bit more mainstream then I think they'll dominate in years to come. They're supposedly making a loss on every single PS3 sold, they're strained as it is. Gaming is a huge market for them so Sony aren't going to deliberatly price themselves out of it. It's like getting a HD Ready TV, Sony are future proofing themselves for the next years, as technology these days is getting freakin' silly.Although, I don't really give a toss, I play my PS2 to kill time whilst I've left dinner to cook and I find it highly entertaining, I won't be getting a PS3 yet, that's fo' sho'.
