Oh ok. Yeah, i've always wanted to go to Japan - and even learn their language first, just to get all the crazy technology over there - and all those sweet RPG's that never make it to Australia. Would be a ball. Wish i had the cash lol...

Yeah especially writing in that Kanji or whatever they call it. I know a few words, but only beacause a couple of my mates got tattoos in that dialect haha. Trying to be hardcore lol... Whats this i hear about the PS3 being Region Free? Surely not. That would breed extreme new levels of piracy lol. Would be good for importing games from Japan though...

yeah well I'm a bit of an ebayer of late - and Regions are a big limitation on some of the games i could purchase. Especially since I'm in PAL territory - the majority of games listed are NTSC, and I haven't modded any of my current generation consoles and don't plan to mod any of the next gen ones i happen to purchase...

hehehehehehe.......very funny
Just a shame ur going on about a stupid stereotype that aint even true.
This is a more realistic one:
If a Yank had to choose between a PS3 and losing 300lbs, what would they choose?
its all about the facts baby......

Wow this thread has gone downhill.
Back on the original topic, if you want to pay 500-600 dollars for a ps3, then get a ps3. If you don't, than there are cheaper options available.
If you think the average consumer will fork out that kind of money, than you have good faith in Sony, but ultimately time will tell wether or not the pricing was worth it.

that must be nice living close to a border of another country, living in the uk makes you feel like your imprisoned b/c your sourounded by water, especially considering the fact that i have a problem with flying, ahh no way out. lol.

"Well I'd have to say one advantage of being in the UK/Australia etc is we get our hardware and software later on (a negative in that sense) but this usually results in problems being rectified - for example i remember Star Ocean on PS2 had serious glitches in the Japanese version, and there were some overheating issues with the Xbox 360 when released in the US (was it the US?). It's not all that bad navi95 :)
On that note, given the price tag on the PS3, you can't tell me if you were prepared to buy a decent piece of hardware like that (at such an exorbitant price tag as well) that you wouldn't go for the better model anyway - everyone loves a bigger HD!! I know I would anyway.
I think that Sony have wronged in two ways - their high price tag will eliminate a small percentage of buyers (most die hards will by a PS3 anyway, but parents who are buying for their kiddies might opt for a cheaper alternative next christmas season) meaning they may lose some of their lead in market share to Microsoft.
The other mistake I think is they've released their console after one of their competitors (MS) have - the Psone and PS2's success was helped by being the first console released in each of their generations.
Despite that the PS3 will still be a success, but i think the Wildcard is Wii which could either bomb or rocket to success (i hope we don't have another Sega on our hands!)."
ACtually Sony has always been second releasing their systems...Saturn came before PS1 and Dreamcast came before PS2.
Yo!

I'm betatesting one of the final releases and let me tell you, buy linux because no matter how fast your pc is its slow
Were testing it with 3.7 ghz intel extremes with 2gb of ddr2 ram, 350gb hdd's loaded

hey rabbity, dont you guys have that high speed train connecting england to the mainland? so there you go, no need to fly.
But they all do sort of the same thing, and that is rearrange what you thought was real, and they remind you of the beauty of very simple things. You forget, because youre so busy going from a to z, that theres 24 letters in between... You turn on... tune in... and you drop out...

Lol yall.I'm from the south so I guess i'm stupid.Anytime someone says someone from a different place is stupid that should basically mean they are stupid.To count an entire part of the world that has millions of people as stupid is just stupid.(But yall were just kidding lol and so am I).
kainx: It's to bad more people don't see that vista is just xp in another shell{;/ I know about directx 10, but ms will not make it backwards compatible which makes ALL no matter where you live upgrade to thier bull$&it just to get their game benefits.
