Not the biggest problem I know but I cant help but think this PS3 is getting more and more skank by the day.

my honest reaction is - meh.

i find it hard to get as excited by games in general as i used to.

My DS will keep me happy for now.

Gives Microsoft a massive run up at the EU market for next gen though. not ideal froma a sony perspective.

My DS will keep me happy in Uni lecture theaters...

As I get older my interest in games and finding time to play them wanes but I do like the 'politics' and power battles still...

MS must be rubbing thier hands together.

Sony is delaying the super expensive gaming machine?
I couldn't care less. It's too expensive for me to want it.

yeah, i keep taking toilet brakes at work to play Big Brain Academy.

worryingly i seemt o be getting stupider as the day goes....

How much is sony asking for a PS3?

and whens the Poo Poo Wee Wee out?

haha - this is the best bit.

With no game - the PS3 will cost you....drum-roll...

£425

So u get a console thats like 10% more powerfull then the X360 and has only 1 exclusive title for it now in Metal Gear Solid 4, all the other games have gone multi-format as dev teams releaside "hey, we CAN put this on X360, the PS3 isnt 2x more powerfull"...

Post by **Best First** » Wed Sep 06, 2006 10:13 am

if GTA:Whatever it is comes out on the 360 first then i will make the leap.

£425! i could buy a ****ing half decent PC for that these days - and that gives me access to bongo and a raft of cheap games.

Sony - undone by bongo.

but then aren't we all?

I'd rather buy a Wii, one or two games for it and a game or two for my DS - than buy a Ps3

What will it cost to buy a Ps3, a game and a extra controller? Meh...

I'm hoping it will get less expensive as time goes though, as I'll probably want to play Pro Evolution Soccer.

Or - buy an Xbox 360-gears of War, a Wii and Mario galaxy for the same amount!

Seriously Sony, I can have twon consoles, two massive games and two different experiences for the price of your machine without a game... err?

guess what ill be buying this xmass.

that really sums it up doesn't it?

oops.

not to mention sony can easily absorb teh hardware costs to a greater extent. makes no sense.

Can't really say anything else then that I agree, lads.

Has Sony lost their game or something? You do start to wonder...

Gotta love the strap on action.

Anyway, like I've been saying for well over a year, this is only paving the way for the Nintendo Renaissance. The Wii is cheap, inventive, and will catch the fancy of any who see it. It will achieve iPod like coolness and rule the world.

And MS, if there's ANY ANY way you can convince Konami to give you MGS4, please do so. My first born can go on the bargaining table.

*looks around to make sure no one's looking* Sprunker's too. :P

Microsoft must be laughing. Xmas is sewn up for the 360. There are some quality titles due out and you can bet that they will time a 360 price drop (and maybe even Halo 3) to gatecrash the PS3 launch party.

Can't wait for my Wii

the main producer of MGS4 (forget his name) said that MGS4 would run on the X360, much to SOnys dismay... I bet u see a port around1 year later.

We were asking on the edge forum, what games do Sony have that MS doesnt have?

Bar MGS and Final Fantasy - not much, doesnt justify £475...

The best thing the PS2 had going for it was the 3rd party support. Hence it had games like Katamari, Guita Hero etc. The only reason these games were made for PS2 was because it was the market leader.

PS3 could be seriously harmed without that kind of support. It will be cheaper to makes games for the Wii & 360. There is potentially very little to distinguish itself as something worth £425

Sony are going to have awful troubles from this if it doesn't come off, they stand to lose billions on the PS3 if it fails and from the sound of it failure is looking increasingly likely (failure as defined as coming a long way second or possibly third in the home console market- considering the loss they plan to sell each PS3 unit at they need a lot of games takeup to make profit).

Shanti418 · Post by **Shanti418** » Wed Sep 06, 2006 7:04 pm

Yeah, it's all going to come down to 3rd party support. If MS gets it on the same level as Sony, it's all over for Sony. But yeah, I need to SEE the MGS, the Guitar Hero/Kareoke Revolution, the Katamaris or the world.

TBH it'd do Sony some good I think. They desperately need a kick in the ass as a corporation- they're huge, bloated, impossible to manage and it takes years for ideas to get anywhere. A massive loss on the PS3 could mean a shakeup big enough to get them out of their rut and start behaving like a sensible corporation again (it might make them start valuing their customers a little more too).
