I'm 99% sure Japan gets it November the 11th and every1 else gets in the 17th of November (including us of course), a worldwide release, its on the gamespot website sumwhere im pretty sure, im getting over videogames as well i brought a 360 and havent touched it for about a month, been getting into car audio now.

its being released on the 17 november......still 20 weekes...but 100 bucks a week gives me 2k, so lotsa cash to buy games etc...

yeah im into car audio as well, but im really waitin till i get my new car until i do some serious work to a car, audio wise, coz the laser isnt cutting it

i think i will wait till it gets cheaper plus they usally change the console a little bit anyway

bah, $1000?

it'll be < $500 6-12 months after release.

i'm one of those tight-a$$ people that wait for the decent games to go platinum and $50 anyway!

- Stooge007 out

x2 Stooge. Its not tight-ass, its just smart. And if you think about it, the less people that buy it now, the more it will bomb, the lower the price will get.

check it out, i'll probably get 1 the day it comes out

yeah been lookin there, and www.ps3portal.com
www.ps3land.com

I remembered when i got my PS2, $600 with extra controller memory card and a couple games. A while later GF got me a silver edition PS2 as christmas (or was it birthday..?) pressent and I gave her my black one... lol

I've learnt my lesson and this time round i'm gonna wait till the price drops, as by the time it drops in prices there will be different versions which fix up issues with previous version.

But to be one of the first people to own a ps3... charge people to play on it
I know of a store in the City which does it for imported games.

spot on im in the same boat... wait for the later versions where the problems (if any) have been fixed...

there is a xbox360 lounge in penrith......


the ps3 uses blue ray right?


SSS_Hoon

blu ray=yup

personally i don t reckon therell be many probs........its alreadyu been pushed back 6 months whle they sort it out....

hell yes ill be charging ppl to use it lol

LOL... charging ppl to use it...

good idea i spose... u dont pay $1k for something to allow others to play with it... haha...

could make a hefty profit, maybe even pay off the console in "playing fees" LOL...

set it up with a TV outside K-Mart or Target and let ppl play with it. the console will be paid off in no time... haha



cheers

mmmm was tempted by the 360...but that was still going to be $4-500 after i trade the PS2 in which i hardly ever use

i guessing that the PS3 has alot more features over the 360

well ive got 2 ps2 and both stuffed up i got one fixed but after the 6 month warranty it stuffed up again
