Let us know how much they weigh - they're supposed to be seriously heavy.

In celebration of the release of the PS3, I managed to bring my Dreamcast back to life.....
Which generally means a weekend of Soul Caliber ahead....

I'm a happy bunny  :clap:

Enjoy it Graham :D

And they don't seem any heavier than an xbox 360 :)

In work today there were two great big metal cages full of PS3's, I'd say there were several hundred units there. I only had two to deliver today myself.

Soul Caliber is ace on dreamcast ( I still even kept my dreamcast! )
Looking at software of PS 3 games....I still dont understand why Virtua tennis is Ã,£49 and Motorstorm Ã,£39 (should be otherway around?). XBOX 360 for Virtua tennis is Ã,£39 where PS 3 of Virtua tennis is Ã,£49! ffs

Games arent worth that much as I would be happy to pay at least either Ã,£20 or Ã,£30.
For budget price should be like Ã,£15 to Ã,£20.

C64 Budget price was Best things ever happend and no one couldnt even beat Ã,£1.99 or Ã,£2.99 a game.....that was FAB !

There's no way you could develop a ps3 game and sell it as cheaply as that nowadays Hotshot...

The best advice if you have a limited budget is to get pre-owned games I'd say.

A local games shop has an offer advertised that will sell PS3 cheaper if you trade your PS2 as part payment that might buy a game or two

The stores here will sell you a PS3 for $750 (instead of $999) if you trade in an XBox or PS2 and 20 games.

:o Thats a lot of games they want.

Jim

It is shocking really.  They'll trade in for about $10-$20 a game most of the time, and then seconds later it's on the shelf for between $29 and $60.

One retailer here is offering it for $950 if you also buy a game.  Another is offering a game and a 2nd controller in the pack for $1050.  I don't think any of them yet come with a completely free game.  They must have been given so little margin in the $1000 price tag.  I'd really like one...

I'd like one too and the game trade ins... It shows that the shops make most of the markup in the games and sod all on hardware.

Sony are sweating on this console selling well.. Apparently they have invested so much money in gaming and they have been lagging behind.

If I am typical of the market then they should worry.. I don't think I'll be buying one of these myself unless Gran Turismo and Grand theft auto is seriously amazing on it and even then I'd probably wait a year or two, unless someone gives me a free one :) I just don't think a games console can be worth so much money can it?

Sony saying that the Price drop wont be until NEXT YEAR!
I do like motorstorm and formla 1( I wish they did bring on XBOX 360 but good news is AIRCOMBAT 6 is coming to XBOX 360   Lovely ! )

cheers

GTA 4 Screenshot or Video will be show on 30TH March (The Graphics will be slimair as Table tennis game or maybe little abit better)

GT 5 (racing car game) wont be out until 2007 or 2008 at the early
Resident Evil 5 wont be out until Next year (I think that good things to keep on working design and game itself.....  Resident evil 4 was amazing and RE 5 is going to be another things but will they step up next level remind to seen  ;)   )

cheers

I want to be able to stick a screwdriver into the abdomen of my adversary in GTA and eat his intestines lik,e spaghetti :) If I can do that then I'd buy one..

my (amazing) strategy: buy a PS3 from a japanese site, where the yen equivelent is Ã,£250 (the retail price in japan). With the cost of a power addapter and p+p, it will still be cheaper! Success!
I love semi-colons way too much ^^;

Umm, doesn't GTA on PS3 = GTA on XBOX360, but with slightly better graphics (maybe)?
Fuck L. Ron Hubbard and fuck all his clones.
