well if you look at it this way, one doller for the americans is just as valuable for them as a pound is for us even though its worth only half. so basically stuff in england costs like way more. not to mention they get paid more in certain jobs. the pound is only good if you lots of it and you go to a place ike america to live (kinda what i am doing soon) and it basically doubles your money. i say before hand sorry to go off topic but, like houses there are like double the size for the same price. and loads of other stuff which i can not be bothered to talk about right now.

I dont know if you guys have heard or mentioned this but experts say that it taks 900 dollars to manufacture a Ps3 so the price they estimate may be as high as 700 dollars.
Peace out!

alright before it blows up in this thread, im going to address a new article floating around like crazy now.
http://www.gamespot.com/news/6144963.html
they report that a japanese site has affermed that sony said the ps3 will be delayed, and everywhere its eating it up like hotcakes, not even looking any farther than that site. im not saying it wont be delayed, but im saying to spread it around with basically no realy fact is saying nothing. they are mainly claiming the blu ray drive will be to blame. if blu ray players are alread in production and are completed and tested, why would this be to blame? yes its a new tech, but not everything new is hard to make.why dont people look more into this? probably because there is little out, so a site claims something it just has to be true, and if it issnt, its something to talk about to entertain the masses. if sony doesnt get their ass in gear all these rumors are gunna kill the ps3 before its born.

Well, Sony has E3 to overhype their system for another 5 months, keeping people waiting for PS3 to continue to wait. Hopefully Nintendo will get their console out before Sony, but I doubt it. The holiday shopping season seems to be the popular choice for a launch window.

according to the e3 webpage scea has acquired this sapce for displaying.
Sony Computer Entertainment America, Inc. West MR 512
Sony Computer Entertainment America, Inc. West MR 515A
Sony Computer Entertainment America, Inc. West 2416
exactly what one will be for the ps3 is unknown, and the floor sizes to me are unknown. maybe this display at the gdc will be worthwhile, but if not im sure e3 will sure as hell be.

Well these big company's really pee me off when they keep on and on about pirate software/media. My HD TV unfortunatly has no HDMI or DMI input's so will not function with HD DVD or Blue Ray films. What a rip off. One big reason to why I would be considering on purchasing a PS3 would be becuase of Blue Ray HD films, now thats thrown out the window.
Does anyone know about Keiji Inafune the man behind Megaman, Street Fighter, Resident Evil and Onimusha. He is working exclusively to Xbox 360. Also anyone checked out the New Bomberman on Live Arcade?

Well way back @truthman abt the money thing. I said my local dollar in my country. Not in America. Not only Americans call their currency dollar. And I doubt this will kill the PS3. If it comes out before Christmas this year it'll be all good.

o i know that, i just though u were an american, sry.
1 dollar isnt as precious as a pound.
someone i know came back from america for a visit (they moved to USA a year ago) and there money followed exchange rates to the very $.
they said that all the cheaper stuf etc isnt like it seems. its practically the same. american jobs pay more $$$ per hour simply because it a lower currency.
Don't judge the consoles by specs, more isnt always better, espec in PS3 specs.i know the truth, ask if u wanna know.......

well it depends where you go truthman, you can say that america is not so cheap, with regards to say birmingham, but when you go in london they can charge you upto 1 pound 50p (roughly 3 dollars) on just a can of coke. from what i have seen stuff in both america and britan normally have the same figure, the only thing is they are in two different currencies (however you spell that)so basically like you and i also said americans do get more $$$ an hour and they pay the same figure (except in dollars which is half of what we pay, but they get income in dollrs, you get what i mean). anyways what i am trying to say is that stuff might not always cost a lot more cheaper than england stuff but in most cases it does, and that is from what i have seen.

lol. i know exactly what you mean rabbity, i knew what you meant from the start. just explaining my point.
'english' english to 'american' english conversion.
trainers = sneakers
jam = jelly
jelly = jello
chips = crisps (americans say fries for chips)
if ur english never ask for egg and chips, or else you will get egg and crisps.
about jelly/jam/jello
thats why when us english kids were younger and we watched american TV and they said peanut butter and jelly, we all thought YUCH, when actually its peanut butter and jam. but i tried that too and it was vile. how can you eat it, its nasty, lol.
try a scottish deep fried marsbar. (i never have - probably be horrible)

yeah i thought the same thing truthman about peanut and jelly, until i finally found out what it actually was, and like you said i did not likle that much either.
oh and thruthman have you ever been to blue waters, near london, its meant to be the largest shopping centre in europe, anyways i went there last week and ended up spening 150 (roughly 280 dollars) pounds on just three t-shirts, but i am sure if i had gone down to east ham market and got similar t-shirts, without the brandnames i could have got them for about 10 pounds each. (i know this is off topic, i just wanted to add another example to my previouse comment)

lol, yea. nicely rabbity hehe.
east end is the 'corner shop' of london. get it. lol
ever watched bo selecta 3. the one with craig david in america, he says in a café 'i asked for egg and chips not egg and crisps', simple but funny.
in games made by american developeres (totally non offensive here) when british soldiers are in they give them outrageous accents.
there either all, 1920's posh rich soldiers who speak very royal like, lol but true it seems. or either ALL from the darkest bits of the east end of london with cockney-itus to the extreme, and are a common as muck (speaking wise), cant barely understand what they are saying.
battlefield 2 special forces SAS force is a good example of 'super posh' soldiers. we dont sound like that, or like the east end ones on other games. why why why.
just thought id mention it.
lol.
it is true though isnt it.

yea i know what you mean. the area where i live is really bad and i do not know one person who talks like either of those two extremes you mentioned. i wouls say that i am in the middle slightly towards posh, but only b/c i was put in a good school. also i thought cod 2 was not bad with the british voices.
also was there meant to be somehting ghoing on today and tomorrow, with ps3?

That's because you said we speak American in America, when in fact it's English with an American dialect.
but I did think that argument was pretty rediculous because I knew what you meant.

well most people actuall use tennis shoes here in america. But we actally pronounce it tenny shoes or kicks as slang. The language even here varies so much depending on where you are. Northern people get offended when we say yes sir/ no sir or yes mam/ no mam. That is something that a lot of places in america dont do but in the south we call that southern hospitality. It shows respect for your elders. If you go to the southern part of Louisiana here in the US near New orleans and lafayette they have such strong accent at times it sounds like they are speaking another language.
