I have one ordered (paid in full!), whether it arrives on the launch day is another question. I haven't ordered any games, but I think Resistance and Call of Duty 3 will be bought... F1 looks good, and Motorstorm, and Ridge Racer, and I will download the Gran Turismo HD demo once its online.

I shall buy one when they are selling for something in the region of what I payed for either of my PS2s.

Until then, they can whistle for it.

Its at a realistic proce just now.

A bargain for the technology your getting.

The fact it's out of a lot of peoples price range is a different matter though.

great technologyit performs the same as something half the price.

even if you add the hd player the 360 is still cheaper and has better live service, so if the ps3 is a bargain, what is the 360!!

The 360 doesn't have the same technology though.

To bring it up to a similar spec you end up spending the same.

Give it up will you.

The fact you are so gay about the 360 will probably help ps3 sales tbh.

the 360 excels in some areas technology wise where the ps3 excels in others, apart from blueray there is no more technology in a ps3 if you take into account all components of both machines

it has a cell processor, thats about as good as it gets, it has a crippling memory bus

john i think you need to admit/realise how bad the ps3 really is when compared to how good it shouldve been.

iv always previously bought sony so have no reason to slag it off, and its not just cause i now have an xbox as you dont see me slagging off the wii

i dont think john is anti ms, and im not anti sony, i just dont think the ps3 is worth it when there is just as good cheaper alternatives.

by the time the ps3 hits xbox pricing comparing them will be pointless as both will be dated

John is a Sony/Mac fanboy.

I shall not buy one due to the fact that as good as if not better technology was out over a year ago for half the price, HD DVD is winning the format so blu ray is pointless, Gay controllers, Shit online play, expemsive games, and the fact sony insists on fucking europe.

The latest figures I read bluray were outselling hd-dvd, which isn't bad considering hd-dvd has had a big head start.

Sony's new bluray player is also only $600

Controllers are tried and tested and loved by millions.
They do take the piss out of europe though.

Yes. Realistic price means under £300 IMO.
