I still dont know if i'll get one on european launch day or not :S

Right now my savings are at 330€, i almost bought a PSP the otherday when i gazed at it in the mall. If my friends had call out for me 10 seconds later i would probably be leaving the shop with the PSP lol. So damn tempting when you got the money available.
 
I realised it says Playstation 3 DVD-rom.... Probably if you have a game that you want to load quickly ( if you place the data at the right place of the DVD ) or just want it to be cheaper to produce it'll have the option to ship the game on Dual-layer DVD like for the XBOX 360, instead of blue-ray.
 
I don't know what site this is but who cares. It's funny nonetheless if true.

E-Bay removing PS3 auctions!

Yes, the rumors are TRUE! E-Bay and Sony are teaming up to yank all those nifty E-Bay auctions off the net! Already, E-Bay has removed over a dozen since this morning's post, some of which were in the range of $2000 to $4000.

===========================

Seems kind of fake since...

EBAY PS3 Auctions
 
meh, ps3's gonna bomb here in Australia, and yes as clichéd as it sounds, it is the price that will.

I"d like to get one... when its price is quartered, becasue its launching really, really expensive.


So why are people crazy enough to pay so much for it on ebay then?
 
I read that the PS2 will dominate holiday sales in Australia, because it finally got down to 199 ASD, which is cheap enough for the cheap australian's to buy :D

Well, I am with you man the PS3 is too expensive everywhere.
 
lmao it's begun.

GameStop: Our PS3s Sold-Out Nationwide

I just got off the phone with a GameStop spokesman who confirmed that as of 2 p.m. Mountain Time, the chain's 3,600 stores has sold out of every single one of their PS3 pre-orders. As of right now, he went on to say, the chain has no word on whether they will be getting anymore for launch day. So this could be it for their initial batch of consoles.


Each store had at least eight PS3's for preorder, with some getting as many as 16. And, he confirmed that only two units per a store could be sold to employees.


While they sell-out wasn't confirmed until 2 p.m., the spokesman told me it was a matter of minutes at most stores. He added that this was much faster than the sell-out rate of the Xbox 360. at the chain. Brian Crecente

Wow, at a faster rate then Xbox360, I'm not surprised that people are willing to pay for PS3's great quality. For me consoles like Wii, only thing I have to say for it is that its cheap. Wii might be good this year, but if you want something that will last long PS3 is the way to go. To me buying Wii is like buying a broken watch over an accurate watch, The broken one being like 2$ while the accurate being about 20$. Would I really buy a broken watch just because its cheaper?

So the 7 controllers really is true :p Probably 4 wireless and 4 wired.
 
one thing i hate about some new "next-gen" games is the abuse of HDR/Bloom lighting. look at the jersey on the NBA2k7 screenshots : the white from the guys' number should not look like that unless if i had extreme eye problems !

I see no evidence suggesting that the actual build-quality of the Wii will be substandard.
 
I think that NBA 2K7 currently looks terrible on both the PS3 and Xbox 360. NBA Live 07, on the other hand, looks more realistic IMO.
 
NBA 2K7 looks way better than NBA Live 07.

I doubt there is even a contest between the two, have you seen NBA 2k7 screenshots? They are fantastic!


But everyone has their own opinion ;)

Who's going to buy one? Everyone already has one :lol:

The opposite more like, given Nintendo's history, I doubt the first released Wii's will ever break
