Well.....the $599 model is 322 GBP, more than an premium 360 and presumably more than the revolution. But, of course, they'll sell the PS3 for more than 322 GBP.
Of course, there's the losers saying you're getting a next gen DVD player, but nobody really knows if Blu-Ray or HD DVD will prevail. I'm going to be buying "normal" DVD for a while yet anyway.
Of course, the PS3 will sell loads anyway. :roll:
I upset a Sony fan boy a while back. He said I shouldn't have got a 360 and should have waited for the PS3. Well i told him I didn't want one, and thought it was likely to be a pile of s***, he practically started crying, and looked very upset. Ha.

I've been leaning toward getting the Nintendo for a long time, and this just confirmed it for me. I'm still upset over the fact that the PS2, well, the earlier models, had trouble with dual-layer DVD's.
Buh-bye, Sony. You won't be seeing any more $$ from this dude.

I thought Sony was going with that Boomerang Controller? This controller looks the same as the Dualshock 2? :?

They may have changed it as people were mocking it and calling it a space dildo. Or, more likely, they wanted to steal, then crappyify, Nintendo's idea.
But according to some n00b on Joystiq, Sony have "stolen the show"

Yeah i think $600 is to much for a videogame system especially when you can get games that look the same on a $400 360. :wink:

I thought when I spent the $300 on a PS2 the price was excessive. $700?!?!?! That's almost what I used to pay for one month's rent!
If I win the lottery, sure, I'd shell out the money. Until then, hell no.

Well, don't get too frazzled about $300, it's looking like the Wii is launching at $249...

These are just speculations... very plausible ones, but still just speculations.
And even for 249$ it wouldn't be too expensive. I'm sure the price will drop fast, after the early adopters got their's. :wink:

The way things are going it looks like you'll be able to buy a 360 and a Wii for about the same price as a PS3. 2 consoles for the price of 1.

Hey, It was bound to happen sooner or later. I wonder if the big N will reclaim the the throne like it did in the mid 80s to at least the mid 90s? I wouldnt mind seeing it that is for sure. PS3 at near 700$ eh...That is pretty insane. I might have second thoughts and get the Wii instead.

Garbage....

The lower end model lacks wi-fi, a slot for memory cards and, in particular, a port to hook up a HDMI connecter for high-definition programmes.

No memory cards?!?! Oh, what a piece of crap. Either version. I am definitely going with Nintendo, even a speculation of $249 is better than what Sony's price is going to surely be.

it has a 20GB HDD, practically infinite save storage.

The prices are already confirmed as well.

$499 for the crap model

$599 for the useful, but much too expensive to ever buy model.

(This maybe a dumb question/ I don't know if I was reading the above wrong)
But if there is no memory cards then how are you supposed to go to your friend's house with a super fly game and show off how cool you are if you can't bring your save state with you?
