Ok, its settled, I'm going to wait. I went to the store today, just to check it out, and the range of games out and the moment is horrendous, absolutley nothing I want to play, and there was only like 25 different games available.

The console itself is f'n massive, it looks bigger than the PS2.
 
It's so much bigger than the ps2, but it's worth it. I'm not sold on the ps3, but if you want a blu-ray disc player, get it. Blu-ray players are running for a grand here in the states.
 
Yeah they're at $1500 here, and there is only one model on the market (samsung), this was one of the justifiable reasons of originally buying the PS3 for $999, but apparentley the launch here in Australia was quite poor, so the price should drop pretty quickly.

don't count on it.

games are going in the mid $110 as well aren't they?

straight to ebay if I ever get one.
 
LOL! This is so funny.

My friends took their PS2 to Pakistan when they went to visit over there. They got this thing called a ma-chip put in their PS2, and because of the ma-chip, they can now play bootleg games on their PS2. Games are 60 rupees in Pakistan, which is equivalent to a $1 here. Yes a $1!! So if you get the machip installed in your game system, you can buy real cheap bootleg games from countries like Pakistan. I didn't want to do it because if they mess up while putting the ma-chip in your console, your system might mess up.

Some of the games I saw there were $110, some were the standard PS2 new release price, of like $90-$99.
 
I think the PS3 is the ugliest console, right after the first XBOX anyway. Way too big, you would've thought it'd been much more sleek like most consoles are going for today. Well, you can expect a change in appearance in about three years I bet. The font for the PS3 itself is just ripped from the Spider-Man films. lol

Well I decided to go and pick up the PS3 I preordered today, as after yesterday when I got my braces on, and went to pay, the lady told me that the Hi Caps (Health Insurance) were giving it all back to me ($800

), plus I'm getting about $700 back from Tax Return soon, so I thought why the hell not. Really only cost me $800 for the actual console, as I got a $200 worth a controller and game (Call Of Duty 3) for free, so I saved $200 on buying it now.

I'm still questioning wether or not I did the right thing, but in a few months time I wont really care (like over paying for a new Computer I bought), lol. I guess I can always sell it on eBay and make most of if not all of that money back if need be, which is what I always use to justify big purchases, lol.

We ended up getting a PS3 today with Need for Speed Carbon and Marvel Alliance.

Quite a piece of machinery isn't it.
 
Yeah, I think its worth the $1000 price tag, its basically a computer (60GB hard drive, plays DVDs / BluRay, can surf the internet, store music, movies, photos etc. etc.), and a PC will cost you upwards of $1500 as is, so its pretty kool. I love the fact you can turn it on / off using the wireless controller, makes it like a TV, and I no longer have to get out of bed to turn the bloody thing off, lol. Also my USB Logitech controller for my PC works on the PS3 too, so I've got 3 controllers which is good.

I just cant wait for Madden and NBA Live 08.
 
ha im in bed as i make this post from my ps3
