skunkoncrunk - May 11, 2006 03:55 AM (GMT)
Definatly the system that I'm most interested in.
Here's some news from Gamespy on the PS3.
Yesterday;
LinkToday- Controller Hands on Report;
LinkNews for a cheaper model;
LinkAny thoughts? Also, don't hesitate to post any news you find.

Yeah, the $600 model is a lot better, but it's quite expensive. Who has $600 to throw out on a console? (I'll have to pitch in a few bucks to get a PS3 for Christmas)
The controller I like though. Did anyone see the NBA Live 07 video? The players move like real life athletes now.

I suspose there is going to be alot of previews and shit about the PS3 at E3
Australian Prick - May 12, 2006 08:40 AM (GMT)
Well i'm definatly getting this instead of a 360. But considering how eagerly anticipated it is it may take awhile for the price to come down.

Pug, why don't you wait til the next console comes out? :P
I'll probably get the $600 version, if I even get a PS3.
Kingturtle2007 - May 12, 2006 08:04 PM (GMT)
Hmmm... 600 bucks. That's a lot of dough for a console only. I might have to think about this one. :ninja: :ninja:

I agree it does sound like a steep price, but if you think about what you're getting for your money, it's a great deal. The Blu-Ray will be awesome.

I can afford this guys! In denmark, once you turn 18, the goverment will provide you with money (about 200-600$ each month), As long as you're studying.
Sweet - May 13, 2006 05:40 AM (GMT)
yeah i already have the money saved guys i think ahead of time lol
DK - May 13, 2006 05:42 AM (GMT)
I have $100 already saved going towards this to help my parents pay for this so I can get it for Christmas.
Sweet - May 13, 2006 05:48 AM (GMT)

Pug Dog - May 13, 2006 07:12 PM (GMT)
Hey I never thought of that, I could always just take the cash out of my bank account :funny:
Sweet - May 14, 2006 01:51 AM (GMT)
the controlers are awsome you can get ones where instead of having analog sticks you move the controler in the air :D
Jedihunter - May 14, 2006 02:13 AM (GMT)
The Nintendo Wii's controller is better.
You can sword fight realisticly with the Wii's controller.
Sweet - May 14, 2006 02:15 AM (GMT)
yeah but what will the Wii's graphics be like?it's going to be a cheap consol to buy and it probably wont be that great the only thing good about it will be the controler

The Wii graphics arent horrible, besides the Graphics arent everything, Nintendo is all about Gameplay and thats what I buy games for anyways.
Sweet - May 14, 2006 02:26 AM (GMT)
too tell you the truth im not even going to waste my money and time on this.
DK - May 14, 2006 02:30 AM (GMT)
The Wii will probably appeal to people who have enjoyed Nintendo's games in the past and are looking forward to not only the games the Wii will offer, but its cheap price as well. The Wii will get a lot of sales just because of its cost, which was a smart move in my opinion. Although the name sounds kind of corny, it should be a pretty good system. I am not interested in buying it though.

I might be interested in getting it if they release any new legend of zelda games for it because I always played them on N64.

Twilight Princess is going to be a Launch title isnt it?
But.. If I ever get a PS3, It will be in the Bargain bin, I have better things to spend my currency on, Food for instance is one of them.
Mini-Me - May 14, 2006 03:04 AM (GMT)
Pizza Pockets are $2.99 at most grocery stores. Enough food for two days in a box.

Splendid plan!

Don't forget milk. You'll have a PS3 in no time.
skunkoncrunk - May 14, 2006 04:31 AM (GMT)
I'm stoked about the PS3. The games are looking to be really good. If you look at the price that the PS3 is compared to if you were to build a computer to run games like it can, it's fairly inexpensive.
Sweet - May 14, 2006 06:00 AM (GMT)
wasn't the PS2 about the same price when it first came out?

I don't think so. You money is worth more than ours I believe.
Australian Prick - May 14, 2006 10:20 AM (GMT)
Really? I thought it was the other way around with america having the strongest economy on earth! :o
Sweet - May 14, 2006 12:16 PM (GMT)
WTF last time i checked the US dollar was worth more than the Aussie dollar are you sure about that SOC. remember this was like 3 and a half years ago to.

Holy shit! That's cheap
The Price for a PS2 over here was about 426.31 Dollars when it came out. Maybe more
ShaneHaughey - May 14, 2006 11:15 PM (GMT)
I know for a fact that it will cost more in Australia, so meow.
As for exchange rates, the only money worth more than the US Dollar is the Euro. The Australian Dollar is, I believe, 85 cents to one American Dollar. Not bad. :)
Kingturtle2007 - May 14, 2006 11:39 PM (GMT)
How much is a dollar american to one Euro? :ninja: :ninja:
ShaneHaughey - May 15, 2006 12:07 AM (GMT)
1.00 USD = 0.773017 EUR
1.00 AUD = 0.772449 USD
Looks like I overestimated the Australian economy.
Sweet - May 15, 2006 08:15 AM (GMT)
well anyway i was watching then news, sky news i believe and they said it will cost about $600 australian :ninja:
