this morning all of britain was selling the ps3, well im one who will not be getting one as i wont pay the price they are selling at!! £425:eek:

wonder how long it will be before they start selling them on ebay for double the price??:(


so whos got one??
why when there arnt that many games??:confused:
 
Its not the b all and end all not having one. Too me they are just a reason to spend hard earned cash that might be needed elsewhere. Wait till crimbo and ask your other half nicely for one. :cool: Even with the technology in it its a rip off and though they say there are plenty in stock;

in the usa they're not doin well either

being outsold by nin wii 2/1

at that price do u blame them - a 4-5 yr shelf life isnt worth that kinda cash
 
I wouldnt say £425 is expensive. Only £75 more than Xbox 360 when released and brought out to late? When would you have brought it out? Right in time for summer and then crimbo i think is good time to start selling it. Oh and games are £35-40

You can get a decent comp that will play games for that price and you don't need accessories to go online. Though from what I have read its "hot".

Still To Dear, so is Xbox.

Should of come out same time as Xbox.

£40 for a game still to expensive.
 
To bring it out with xbox would have had an impact on sales so selling it at a time where no other console is being released is best. Just as nintendo did with the Wii. I dont think its expensive then again i can afford it where others in other circumstancies may not be able to (family, bills etc) and £40 is the same as all the games for all other consoles so only the same.
 
not only is teh xbox a muh better machine you can get copied games for it

ask the guy who tried selling copied games and modified consoles on here lol
 
Give it time and you will be able to for the PS3. I cant comment on how good or bad xbox is as ive never used one.

ps3 uses blueray and a blueray dvd writer is roughly £1000 at the moment so its not realy cost effective for the pirates to buy one yet plus teh actual blue ray blank media will probably be about £5 a disk maybe more

ive played teh 360 and will be getting one once they drop in price which i predict will be soon now teh ps3 is out but seen as teh ps3 is selling so badly world wide microsoft may not feel the need to drop prices but if tehy do it will give the greedy sods sony a good kick in the nuts who basicly every time they release a condsole over price it knowing that kids will beg for it until they get one

If anyone is desperate to get their hands on a PS3 I know that Game will have a VERY limited number in tomorrow morning strictly on a first come first served basis. Get down VERY early !
 
Chav, PCs will ALWAYS push the technical boundaries. the core of a PC will need very little updating and everyone knows that keeping one step behind teh bleeding edge saves you an absolute fortune. I have friends who IMHO waste hundreds on keeping up with gaming standards. thats their pleasure in life, I have another friend who has spent(wasted) > 70 THOUSAND ponds on his lotus elise over the last 6 years. Again, thats his pleasure (Oh and that 70K doesn't include the money spent on track days or getting to them all over Europe)

Games consoles on the other hand are fixed hardware and from that moment on its down to software to push the limits of the platform. We also seem to be hiiting a position wher gameplay is back on teh list of priorities! Look at teh Wii, most of teh people I know prefer playing that over their Xbox360s, Yes I know, more money than sense to own both
