Ciaran Posted February 12, 2007 Share Posted February 12, 2007 (edited) In this topic you can say if you have pre-ordered a PS3, since most gaming stores now know how many consoles they are getting. Also put down things saying if you got a deal or anything like that. Do not turn this into a flame topic like all the other ones. - I have per-ordered mine from my local Game shop and I am going to pick mine up on the 23rd March. I am going down to the shopping centre at 9:00am (that's when it opens) to collect it. He said that I was 34th person in the queue and that I should get one. I will also be going into school late, since I have to bring down Photographic ID or I may not go in at all (depending on my Parents).

Jared Posted February 12, 2007 Share Posted February 12, 2007 I want a PS3, but it's really expensive here in Australia, $1 000 is a little over the top I think. So for me, it's either wait for it to decrease in price or buy an Xbox 360. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dark Lord Posted February 13, 2007 Share Posted February 13, 2007 Its 25,000 Rs. here. I rather replace my mobile for much better PDA. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Pandora Posted February 13, 2007 Share Posted February 13, 2007 You know JayD, that cheaper then other countries. But not that much less though. I, like I stated in other topics, don't think the ps3 is whorth it. However, if Blu-Ray turns out to be the winner I might still get it, but at a later, far later time.

Jared Posted February 13, 2007 Share Posted February 13, 2007 Hard to say, I've always liked the PS and Sony themselves (although I was screwed over with the PSP). I think it would be worth it, but it is WAY to expensive. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Airashii Posted February 14, 2007 Share Posted February 14, 2007 Hadn't thought much about it but I suppose they must be starting to do that. --- I would pre-order but: 1) I don't have enough money right now. 2) I'm not actually in a rush to buy it, there aren't many decent titles announced. (Plus I still have unfinished business with my PS2) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jared Posted February 14, 2007 Share Posted February 14, 2007 2) I'm not actually in a rush to buy it, there aren't many decent titles announced.

Pandora Posted February 14, 2007 Share Posted February 14, 2007 The release of both titles will still take at least half a year. So there isn't any rush yet. I want to buy a Xbox 360 for games like those (games that don't come for the Wii) but it'l still take some time untill those titles are on the market. And the 360 might drop in price by then.

Red_91 Posted February 16, 2007 Share Posted February 16, 2007 I am 100% going to get it, plus I don't know if you heard but most film companies are starting to use blu-ray DVDs so it could turn out to be a winner but not straight away, Does anybody watch Watchdog on BBC 1, I watched it the other day and they showed the 360s breaking down after a year or so and about 300 people in the UK alone were affected. They said three red lights come on on the START button. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Pandora Posted February 16, 2007 Share Posted February 16, 2007 MS supports Blu-Ray. And they have quite alot influence it this type of stuff. But personally, I DO think Blu-Ray is better, but the drivers are a bit expensive. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I cant believe you, a couple of weeks ago I was saying the PS3 is better than the 360 and at that time you disgreed with me, have you changed your mind? Anyway ON TOPIC the blu ray drive itself would cost $1000 so Sony are selling it pretty cheap (blu-reay drive). Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Pandora Posted February 16, 2007 Share Posted February 16, 2007 I would buy a 360 instead of a ps3. For the simple fact that I'm far from willing to pay that price ONLY for the Blu-Ray. Like said. If they (Wii and ps3) where the same price, and Blu-Ray DIDN'T win, I'd take the Wii. If money is out of the issue between the 360 and ps3 I think I'd go for the ps3 (in that case for the Blu-Ray).

Yeh but before you were critisicing the SIXAXIS and now you are willing to buy a PS3, funny how things change. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Pandora Posted February 16, 2007 Share Posted February 16, 2007 Hell, now we are going to get that SIXAXIS stuff again. The SIXAXIS stuff really isn't anything amazing AT ALL. for the Blu-Ray Do not turn this into a flame topic like all the other ones.

Anyway a company has fixed the SIXAXIS, they put the motion features and the rumble feature all together in one. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If you don't mind me asking, how did he do that? And how did he get it past customs? Plus you do know that the voltage supply on the cables differ from Asia and Europe. plus its illegal Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Pandora Posted February 19, 2007 Share Posted February 19, 2007 My friend got it. Somehow. You got family in Asia and let the system get "rebuilt" to suit Europe. Most technical people can do that. I can ask him for a picture of it if you want. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I thought it was a prison sentence, Sony said before its realease in US and Japan that it can't be taken into Europe. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Spaz The Great Posted February 21, 2007 Share Posted February 21, 2007 Just felt like adding in that in America, you don't even have to reserve it right now..... Simply walk up and ask for one..... They are simply sitting on shelves. Ho-hum. What a shame. XD Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
