Getting a PS3?

[Frodo13.]

Just wondering if anyone is planning on getting PS3! Pre-orderd mine already, but gotta pay £45 desposit :o! Hopefully will be worth it though


p.s I really dont want any 'XBOX is well better' or 'Wii OWNZ' as this is a PS3 thread.

[:Hazel]

No, too expensive i'm not saying XBOX360 OWNZZ but i did buy one the other day.

[Frodo13.]

Ya, fair enough. I asked if people were getting one, and you replied with a simple NO, which is fine :)

its just the cost more than anything... £425.00 is a bit much, i thought i was paying too much at £269.99 for a 360..

I understand people's worries over the price, even Im going to struggle to pay it, but Im just a Playstation addict :p Europe is being ripped off though, its $600 in USA, which is about £300 here in the UK

[brandon]

Nope. Saw the preorders in game tho, 50 quid deposit.

[Digital]

If i had the money i would buy a PS3 but atm I have better things to waste money on. :p

[benjamin]

nahh i'm not.

[GommeInc]

Nope. Only reason I'll get one is for the cheap Blu-ray. I've gone off PS games for while... Not very interesting and a bit repetitive...

[Oni]

Nope ive got my wii. I can afford it or i could as 2 months ago i had £900 [till i bought my wii and pc] but the repetetive games but me off.

[womanizer]

No they suck.

[Energizer]

I was going to, but i got a 360 like last week, so cba now

[Josh-H]

Still considering, but I am happy with my 360 tbh

[Nemo]

savin for a wii since ps3 is out of my price range and pretty much same ol' same ol' in terms of gameplay so no i dont think i will :p

[Pyroka]

I'm a Xbox fan me, so no chance of getting a PS3 really. :P

[emobusters]

nope, its waaaaaaaaaay out of my price range. i don't really like playstations anyway, the games are boring after a bit.

[Azul]

Nope. More than happy with my 360.

[MsTanya]

my brother is

[Joe!]

I will after about a year of being out if they any good..

[Samster]

Once the price comes down a little i'll consider it;)

[MattyTheOne]

Ur jokin me.... £50 deposit? I hadda pay £100. I have £425 all paid off tho! I just need like anuder £30-£40 to get a bundle pack thing xD

I don't see why people don't like it. It'll last ten years according to Sony.

And i dun think $600 is £300. It's nearly £450 I think...

I think Xbox 360 is okay just that Microsoft took a slice of the game world and that they aren't as experienced with Consoles as Sony or Nintendo. Actually Nintendo is most experienced but they took a major blow with the GC.

But the games not as good as X360! They r at very least equal. It depends on things like Halo and Gears Of War on the 360 and MGS4 and DMC4 and Resistance Fall of Man for PS3 which'll blow 360 out of the water.

But as I said, GOW and Halo, Are really good. They should make like Fable 2.
Fable PWND!. So did the FF games xD

Blu-Ray is the only thing thats kicks the crud outta X360 and by a longggggg shot. Well, free online hub beats it too.

THAT WAS ONE LONG POST! IT SHOULD COUNT AS THREE!

Wow.

[Josh-H]

I won't get one till ... 5 months on as they'll be out of stock until then

[348GTS]

Xbox is well better

WII OWNZ





jk :P My friend has a ps3 and he really likes it, but you gotta have an HDTV for the graphics to look really good.

[dog-egg]

got mine reserved - £50 at game - sure it's expensive but for what you get, it's pretty damn good, plus the free online gaming is just great!!

[Frodo13.]

Actually blu ray is failing due to lack of support and HD DVD is taking over [360 has a hd dvd add on]. Also $600 is £308.439 right now!

[Uber-Jason]

i would get one but the'd have to be £300 first

[PaulMacC]

I'll get one after 3-4 Month's , I doubt they'd be sold out , Nobody will buy them.

[Frodo13.]

Also $600 is £308.439 right now!

HA! So I was about right. I knew you almost double your money if you move to the States.

[Callum.]

Is only 100,000 coming to UK/europe?

[Jackbee]

To expensive for me...

[Josh-H]

I'll get one after 3-4 Month's , I doubt they'd be sold out , Nobody will buy them.

Dude it has record pre-orders, you will NOT get one for a long while ;)

[Frodo13.]

Paid my deposit today. Pre-orderd Call of Duty 3 too.

Well, I never really thought about the stats, UMDs did bad too 0.o

But, Sony's blu-ray is much better than the HD-DVD. In storage wise anyway. And who is HDDVD made by? Toshiba or something like that? Blu-rays were like 30-40% designed for gaming but the HD-DVDs were inly sponsored by Microsoft because of the need to fight with Sony. Microsoft released the Xbox 360 a bit too early. I don't think it is TRULY next gen. In terms of pwnage neways. xD

But the blu ray is the problem that stopped the PS3 being launched in europe on Day 1.

I still believe in Sony!

Damn americans. Ripping us off...

Sony didn't take into account the exchange rate.

I feel really strongly about this. -.-

I'm scared...

Im sure they did, they just decided to ignore it just because they can but imo its one step too far. HD DVD is winning because its much cheaper eg The chapest blu ray player is in the ps3 yet you can get a hd dvd add on for the 360 for £100

[Russia]

Me ps3's are great! but sony sucks and the price is too high i think famileys with good jobs get them for there child.......

[A4AOwen]

I will in good time but not now.

[Jcshua]

PS3 Is just like Wii, if your playing basketball, to shoot you have to hold the pad like a ball, and pretend to shoot, I saw it on T.V

I might buy one after a few months of release, depending on feedback etc.

[Dentafrice1]

I have had one since the 25th of december and its great.

Only bad thing is its got the same navigation style and everything of the PSP

[24]

No. Too Expensive for me. If i had the money i might consider it but there would always be that lingering thought of how many pairs of shoes i could buy for £425.

Its motion sensors are poor and inacurate i played it in london and everone was turning the tilt off. It is also exactly that tilt it doesnt detect where it is or anything just the angle.

[letisix]

Na, I wont buy one ethier.

[piddle2k6]

I doubt i will as the console is very expensive and thats without games which will have blu-ray and will cost a small fortune!

Looks cool though

[Uber-Jason]

i would but for the cost

[flyingcat06]

I think i'll be just fine with my xbox.

[mangle]

I might , depends on how long until the cost is dropped , no way am I paying the original price

[Uber-Jason]

with the ps3 though they may not be able to lower the price that much because theyll be making such a loss it wouldnt be worth it

[Russia]

Is only 100,000 coming to UK/europe?
1Millon I heard

Anyway i will/ would get teh 20gig one.....

PS3 Is sixaes (or w/e) NOT Motion sencer... there 2 diffrent things...

[Russia]

Dude it has record pre-orders, you will NOT get one for a long while ;)
No it doesnt? Wii has the Record of Pre-orders....

[Jamexy]

Tbh, I'm not getting a ps3 MAINLY because of the price. Then I seen the tech demo thing on youtube, and it took ages for him to land that plane with the SixAxiS thing and it put me off. The world, I don't think, is just ready for blu-ray. If you went up to someone on the street and said to them 'Do you know what blu-ray is?' they would just stare at you.
I'm happy with my Wii anyways. ^^

[You]

Im going to wait untill they go down, they are v.expensive and probably not worth it as they are basically the exact same as ps2 but with better graphics and controllers imo. (oh and blu-ray)

[Jamexy]

Dude it has record pre-orders, you will NOT get one for a long while ;)
Maybe so, but how many of them people will be disapionted with them and sell them on ebay?

[:LeKevin:]

I don't see why people don't like it. It'll last ten years according to Sony.


And? I've got a NES and that's been going strong for well over 10 years :D

--

I doubt I'll be getting a PS3. I'm more of a Nintendo fan :P!

[Stitch]

i think i am. Not as soon as they come out though because out of the games that are being released with it CoD3 would be the only one i would want.

[---MAD---]

I might. Not sure because I bought a PS2 but barely played it..more of a PC gaming fan :).

[Nike]

i'll wait a year or so til they're £200 lol.

He had no difficultly landing it. If you were watching carefully he was shooting the targets...THEN landed it.

The tilt controls still are rubbish though.

Ever used them? If not then why judge?

[Oni]

Yes, I have if you'd read my earlier posts. I played the PS3 at the game on exhibition in london.

[PaulMacC]

I think the lanch is always big tbh , Then when all the fanboi's get theres the sales will drop BIG time

[Yggdrasill]

nope, wii for me.

[chips]

The wii is a gimmick that’s all any one who byes one for general gaming is a idiot

I’ve pre-ordered mine at my local shop had to pay a 50 pound deposit and choose one game (got Resistance: Fall of man) and an accessory

No its not, the ds was called a gimmick way more than the wii and it now sells over 2x as much as psps.

[Isolde]

I'm getting ps3 if it has alot of features and when the price goes down, maybe on next christmas for half price.

[Misawa]

I have a PS3 and it's definitely worth it, it outright beats the XBOX 360 in my opinion. The price may be a little high, but there's nothing that they can do about it. It's the future of video gaming anway, so I ask, how expensive are the next next-gen consoles going to be?

For the ultimate console, get the PS3. For a lot of fun with your friends get the Wii and for good gaming but not with a massive price tag, get the 360, simple as.

I don't see how it can beat the xbox 360... It may have blu-ray and better graphics, but does it have a game acheivements system thing like 360? Atleast with the 360 you get more from the games than just sitting and trying to completing them...

[Bear-Max]

I don't want to say it but I'm really tempted to pre-order one. For a long time now I've been adamant that I wouldn't be endorsing Sony's latest console, but I have the money sitting in the bank serving no purpose and Play.com has quite a good £524.99 bundle on sale. I'm feeling the urge to click "buy".

Despite my technology lust, I do think that the 360 offers the better experience compared with the PS3. It's cheaper, has a great library of games and a more rewarding online environment.

[SuperMatt]

PS3 just copy the Xbox 360. We got Xbox live they copied it for Playstation network. We have 4 controls they have 2. We have a media centre etc they dont (i think). They have just copied us really, Xbox 360's rule and will always will until a new system comes out which has better stuff (which is nearly impossible to beat the xbox 360. Try and name some things which could happen to consoles in the future. And name the new Xbox.

[chips]

Yes your right about the DS

The Wii will never be considered as a rival in any way to the Xbox 360 and ps3 the Gamecube could always keep up the wii will fail when making games you can port between ps3 and 360 and make muti-format games as you could with the last gen and there consoles but with the wii you have to redesign the game so they have lost a lot of support from games makers also the games are cheaply made and there’s not much to them over time people will stop making games and people will only get games like Mario and Zelda from Nintendo they will concede and stop the Wii and make a slightly better console than ps3 and Xbox 360 and with the money they lost it will be over priced and no one will bye it

[Demynx]

I'll buy it once it is in my price range, till then, I will play my Nintendo WII

Everything copies everything.
Lets say.. you see someone with a device and they sell it and do REALLY well.. Wouldn't you want that same thing? Its all about money these days.
Theres always something that comes out which is original and then everything else must have it.
Happens in habbo (People make a nice casino design.. then people copy)
Happens with clothes (Someone sees one person wearing one thing, copies it, it turns into the new "thing")
Its the vicious circle of life x]

I think in the future there should just be a console that plays its own games + other console games. Like the ps2 with ps games.. But this should be like all PS + Xbox games. That would be nice x] With interchangable controllers.. lmao. I doubt that would happen cuz I would imagine people would stop buying Xbox's and PS's .. But who cares :) That would be good.

[Oni]

No everyone copys nintendo. They have the first of everything. They invented controllers, dpads, analogue sticks, shoulder buttons, 4 ports and kind of online as the snes in japan had sattalite play.

Also why should it be harder to adapt to the wii?. Id say its easier with nintendos 'wii programming arm', they have bought loads of multiformat games onto the wii for example need for speed carbon and madden. They would make so much more money if the wii continues selling as it is predicted http://uk.gamespot.com/news/6166286.html?action=convert&om_clk=latestnews&tag=latestnews;title;1 .

[Bear-Max]

Lol, what you are all calling "copying" is known as "business". That's how it works.

[PaulMacC]

Once all the fanboi's get there's the ps3 will die
