Fifa looks like it is goign to be legit. The game is pretty lame @ beginning. . but once u get playing it and get decent at it. It is an OP game.

I am not wasting 599E on a console. That's half my mother's salary for a whole month. Wont say anything else.

are you sayin it hasnt come out in aussie yet? wow sorry dude.

I already have one, and have had one since christmas and I still say despite the large pricetag is worth it. Hell, buy a 360 and 4 games that youll probably play for a few weeks and your at the same price.

Amazon are taking pre-orders in the UK as of today at 14:00. Be quick !!!

599 € is in the first moment a extremly price for a konsole. but with combination with bluray the price is not really too high ... a 42" flat tv and gran tourismo series online will max roxx

but if you can wait the price will go down. unfortunately is sony 1 year to late imo. and they miss the christmas time for delivery

so lot of people play now 360. i will wait for a cheaper ps3 ... for online playing i have my pc!

For those of you who are interested, Amazon UK were taking pre-orders for the PS3 today from 14:00. The pre-orders were against their initial allocation of PS3s they had been told they would receive from Sony. By around 18:00ish today amazon stopped all pre-orders. The word is that over 10,000 pre-orders were received in 4 hours !!! I have a feeling that demand for the PS3 in the UK is going to easily outstrip supply so if you want one you'll need to preorder from elsewhere pretty damn quick!!

i got mine the day before thanksgiving day, and so far its just collecting dust, waiting eagerly for Army of Two and MGS4.

i think thats wayyyyyyyy too much money....i know ill be sitting with my 360 for a bit and waiting for the price to drop!

I agree. I initially thought it was a bit pricey but then again I got thinking is it really...? Bear in mind the following:

1. You get a Blu-Ray player which is cheaper than any standalone player currently available and for which the reviews have been pretty postive.
2. You're getting a next gen console with proper HDMI output to feed your high def display
3. You can play Resistance: Fall of Man which is a decent FPS and the online gaming element is free
4. You can always sell it on ebay if you don't like it and the chances are if you do you may make a profit as supply is likely to outstrip demand in the UK. Worst case scenario is you may lose like £20-£30 if you do this - about the price of a game. On some forums people are saying they've pre-ordering over a dozen of the things they're so convinced they'll make money - and thats a big financial risk to take !
5. A decent PC graphics card like the Geforce 8800GTX card is around £350 by itself.
6. Initially, Sony are losing money on each console sold.

So I figured lets just go for it. Anyone else got any views?

Yes the fact that it is a blu-ray player is actually amazing.. shows how cheap it actually is.. Cheapest blu-ray player on the market, and the PS3 features are free basically

The only problem is, will people actually want a blu-ray player? HDDVD or whatever it is could take over instead of blu-ray, meaning no-one will want the PS3.

Porn industry is supporting blu-ray, and winner of format style battles are normally determined by porn industry. Also, blu-ray players are much more 'available' then the HDMI. Makes me think blu-ray will be winning.
