ps3

[cobalt]

anyone else pick one up this morning?

[Konovalov]

I can honestly say that I have never ever owned a consol. I'm curious as to how people rate the new PS3 thingy. :hmm:

[Dowly]

Nope, not yet. But I have to in some point. I´ve been a fan of the Metal Gear Solid-series since it was first released on the 8bit nintendo, so the next MGS will be on PS3.

[Grayback]

Extremely unlikely. I've got one console in my house - an old refurbished GameCube that we got for the kids. I'm not shelling out $500 (as if!) when I've got tons of great PC games I've never gotten into. Basically, these things sound like general updates of their older versions - what's really the point of spending so much for just a better version of something you already have? Now, if these things had anything like the VR capabilities that computer geeks promised us in 1992(!) I might think twice.

The other half wants a PS2 with a 'Spyro the Dragon' game for christmas.
*sigh*

I have tried to get her to play 'propper' games (SHIII) on her pc over the LAN, but as ever the seeds always fall on stony ground :roll::damn:

[STEED]

PS3 will soon be out of date as those boffins work on PS4. ;)

[AVGWarhawk]

I just love the hype the media created making people go nuts and camp out at the stores. What crap. Give me a tickle me elmo instead.:lol:

Give me a tickle me elmo instead.:lol:

Those things rock - someone had one in the office the other day, just could not stop myself grinning.

I have been reading that there are problems playing ps2 games on them aswell as the things over heating which is no surprire.

I'll wait till the bugs are ironed out and they are offering a decent bundle. Sad people camp out at stores.

You already have half the battle covered - just getting her to play games. If you let her play, she will eventually graduate to something more complex.

This is why people camp out at the stores : http://cgi.ebay.com/SONY-PLAYSTATION-3-PS3-60-GB-IN-HAND-NIB-CONSOLE_W0QQitemZ320050153858QQihZ011QQcategoryZ62 054QQrdZ1QQcmdZViewItem
There are tons of other ps3 or ebay going for the same amount. Considering the ps3s go for 5 to 6 hundred bucks that's a really good profit.

[Spoon 11th]

Just read, some brit has paid 15100 dollars for his PS3 from an auction. Also some guy was shot in the chest, when some youngsters came to rob people waiting in queue.

Some people have more money than sense. :nope:

[HunterICX]

Doest he PS3 comes with a SH4 on it?
No?
Nuts to that....I stick with the PC:smug:

[tycho102]

I would like to take the opportunity, on the very first page of this thread, to say that viral marketing can suck it. All day.

Secondly, no I'm not going to buy a Playstation 3. I have become decidely less enthuastic about the Wii in the past month, due to the fact I have to hunt around for the component connection, but I will likely be buying a Wii and playing Zelda. Maybe Metroid; I'm not real excited about first-person-shooter Metroid, but I might give it a try.

Probably the Mario game, whatever it will be. Maybe the Donkey Kong one. And lastly, whatever Zelda/Mario/DK Kart racing game that Nintendo will be putting out.

It's probably about time for Zelda Kart.

Here is the latest update on prices. My wife and I saw one for $3,000,000...with 6 bidders earlier in the day I couldn't believe it!

[Godalmighty83]

[cobalt]

can you sell one overseas to europe? is that legal?

[Sulikate]

Wii are the champions...

:arrgh!:

[stabiz]

Bah ... who cares about consoles? Nearly all games worth playing are PC only.

[XabbaRus]

Are those prices for real? $30,000 for a PS3

I have heard Sony aren't going to be to sympathetic to people who grey import them into Europe and will even prosecute.

That's cheap according to the latest search. :arrgh!:

[bookworm_020]

The last consol that I owned was a Sega Megadrive 2!!

I'm Sticking to my PC!!! Less chance of being robbed for it!

[Sailor Steve]

I still have my orignal PlayStation. I put it up for auction. One guy said he'd take it if I gave him five dollars.

I've seen some really good racing sims for consoles, so I might finally buy a PS2.
