"sony have said they see a 10 year life cycle on the ps3"

Yeah right.

You surely cannot believe this.....unless you work for Sony or are such a blinkered fan-boy you'll believe anything they claim.

I only saw the PSOne's demise last year, 2005. I believe the PS was first released in 1995. That's a 10 year life cycle.

well, 360 is crap, ps3 will rule us all,
and stop complaining, PAL people will get better versions, after this article i decided it would be better to wait for the improved ps3's, plus now I'll get a ds lite and save the 130 again.

Well there's a bit of fanboyism for you. I too support the PS3 over the Xbox 360 just a bit because of the way it's being launched, but I wouldn't go as far to say "Xbox 360 is crap". As far as I know the earlier problems have been solved, and whilst a Triple-Core IBM PowerPC system is slower, it's easier to code for. The ATi Graphics processor it uses, whilst based on a variant of HyperMemory, is quite a competent unit (especially compared to that of previous consoles and the Nintendo Wii) but the standard DVD drive will be a stick point that will eventually prove a real problem when games outgrow the fast-approaching 9GB limit.

well, im happy as long as no one gets the $500 version of the ps3, for $100 dollars more, getting the lesser would be a stupid move.

Hmmm, maybe, but at the prices I've seen it is not going to be as attractive as its rivals.

FYI, the annoying part is not so much that we'll have to wait another 4ish months, it's that sony (and microsoft for that matter) ALWAYS promise universal, or if not very closely staggered launches and they NEVER deliver them.

I just wish they'd stop blowing up our bloody skirts in an effort to promote their product for a change.

It's about as bad as a politicians promises leading up to election time (which fellow Queenslanders who are voting tomorrow will know ALL about ;) )

So are you predicting that the PS3 will be widely available on US storeshelves this Christmas?

wow, now that is a surpising comment. People will buy the ps3 because it will have great everything, then there are people who know nothing of hacking and are still honest, us on the other hand you may have a point, it would be cool when it's hacked but people want to enjoy for the games, i really don't care about an os or other stuff, but I also wouldn't mind it.

Talk about issues. This guy needs serious medications or a good shrink.

As should people who post things like that. Come on, get real, a lot of people save up for quite some time to buy these things.

Wow, there are so many things to talk about here. Anger management sounds like a good one... lol :)

There are many ways you can look at this but I am one who doesn't mind waiting a little longer for a higher quality product. As far as I know the first version release of ANY product will more than likely have a few bugs. So the fact that Sony are pushing back the release dates could also be an indication to further refinement of the system. I am sure that they will not make any of this public though. I mean who wants to hear that a $999 (Australian Dollars) system could potentially have faults?

I am also one that will not buy a PS3 straight away. The price is too high for a gaming console for me. However I can see justification in the price with the Blu-ray player alone. A Blu-ray DVD player costs the same amount as the initial release price of a PS3 and that's WITHOUT the gaming hardware.

As for the very first post regarding Indonesia getting things even before Japan. I don't know any way to say this without insulting but my thoughts are that the only reason for this could be a Guinea Pig type scenario. To test if the product has any faults... To test market reaction etc. I mean it's MADE IN JAPAN. So why would they release it anywhere else first, unless for the reason I just mentioned? I don't know, it could be Indonesia has more relaxed import laws, but I honestly think it's more of a testing medium for Sony.
