Yeah your right patty, i think i read a quote of Ken Kataragi(sp?) saying that PS3 is not a gaming machine, but more-so a multimedia machine. So hes saying they arent focusing on gaming but rather a well-rounded home entertainment device, yet most of us just want it for gaming.

Now, not getting into a Blu-Ray v HD-DVD war, but both formats are pretty much the same, both are High Definition, Blu-Ray has a bit more capacity and HD-DVD is alot cheaper. Some people want the Ps3 more because it has a Blu-Ray player built in, yet the 360 is going to get an external HD-DVD player that will cost $100. So if you were to buy as 360 when the HD-DVD player is out, you'll get the console, player and a free game for $750 compared to the PS3's 1000 and no games.

And stonecold, can we just quit the fanboyism mate, the 360 is not an inferior machines, both consoles have similar specs, some out weigh the others. Dont talk up the PS3 yet because no screenshots or videos have been released that have been generated from the PS3 itself.

Ill only buy the PS3 sooner than later if it REALLY brings something new to gaming or has something very unique that they havent told us about. Otherwise id rather save the 1000.

and so the epic quarel of the 360 Vs PS3 begins once again.
Who give a shiny shovel of shi*e.
Playstation been around for years dominated the market then comes microsoft with the xbox which truly did smash sony as the leading console for the current gen.
Now we got a 360's and PS3 on the horizon and all guys wnna do is compare.
like i said who cares.
As som1 already said competition is healthy keeps the industry going.

Plus im soon 2 own both so i dont care lol
I wil love them both equally, each in it own way.

shipping in the UK has changed we go off weight and size now instead of just size .
So if it weighs anything near the 360 wed get raped on shipping.
My advice if you dont live in the UK never buy From the UK lol

Hey Porter There both good. Mircosoft have proven that, and We don't know how good the PS3 will be until it comes out. Its just that I'm more devoted to the PS3.You should consider buying a PS3.

Like i said, i did, but im not sold because of the reasons above.

I have a 360 (great next-gen console) and was cheaper.
PS3 is too expensive for what it is.
The games will proably cost a bit more than rrp of 360 games (which is 120)
360 has alot more top of the line exclusives (Gears of War, Too Human, Huxley, Dead Rising, Saints Row, etc, etc.)

I know this is going back a few months, but Porter, for someone who says stop the fanboy crap I think the following should be heeded:

Porter = MICROSOFT FANBOY

:P

BTW guys, PS3 is only game region free, not movie region free, but can anyone yet answer my first question on the first page?

It all works out to be the same in the end with all the additions and such - the 360 = the basic pack or actually more. Coz sony is cutting the price of it. So the 1000 is going to be 800 or 799. Thats what has been said - I haven't seen it in this thread - so Im posting....

Im just gonna wait and see. And when the time comes - i will decide. And if MS choose to buy out rock* then I dunno..... i might quit sony and go MS... lol oh the games people play (pun intended).

For anyone interested in all the juicy bits of the PS3, should buy the new Christmas issue of the Official Playstation 2 Magazine Australia. They got there hands on a PS3 and have put all the information about it in the mag. I should type the info up and post it on the forums but theres way to much

mmm....ps3....i drool over the sound of it! one more payment and i have half of the ps3 price! then my dad pays half and its all good! and juicy bits of ps3? ps3 is juicy even without knowing wats in it rofl! so ledge, do you mean that the price of ps3 in aussie is gonna drop? if so then wooooot!!!
ms....i would buy a 360 just for halo! sony should make a game like that or maybe valve could join with sony and make counter strike portable! i reckon that that would be the number one game on psp. or maybe counter strike ps3? that would be awesome! ms should make a portable box to play halo portable!

well these are my opinions and i cant wait till the launch of ps3! hope there's no shooting in aussie... or thefts of my ps3 when i get it...

BundyDanger said:The time is getting near. Who's getting the premium console??

Anyway, I've got another question... I read in OPS2 mag that PS3 will be region free for games, just like the PSP (yay, we will be able to bypass our crappy censoring laws...

But, does anyone know if that will mean we can play other region PS2 and PS1 games on the console??


Unfortunately No PS1 And PS2 games will have to be pal
