I'm sure most of you know tat the Sony Playstation 3 is launching next week. I also know that most of you are not going to purchase one at launch, but might in the future.

As you might or might not know, I am actually getting one!! I'm excited and I can't wait to get my hands on that shiny black plastic and finally play games on a next generation console.
I
was originally going to get a Xbox 360 initially, but then I changed my mind.

If you don't like the PS3, please don't leave any stupid or arrogant comments... :angry:

So many great launch games they really set it above from the res-

Oh wait, no. Just Resistance Fall of Man and some sports titles.

Well at least it's good value for mon-

No wait, I have to drain my bank account to play it.

Well, at least we can use Bluray on it-

Oh wait no, they're not available in australia yet, and won't be available nor cheap for a fair while.

Dang, why don't I preorder one of these babies!

No, as you can see we're extremely behind. Not that its a big loss or anything, its just a ps3. I actually think its better to get it later so you can buy post launch games and know which ones are good and such. The same thing happened with the 360 here and instead of buying Perfect Dark Zero (Sucked) and Kameo we got to buy Oblivion and Graw. We did get the Wii at the same time though.

Actually mars, blu ray has been out here since mid to late last year. Blu ray players have been released and some blu ray movie discs as well. Its just that its so god damn expensive. I did go to Harvey Norman and saw a movie in blu ray. I must saw it looks spectacular.

I should have said "widely available." No major DVD retailers stock bluray movies yet and if they do, it's like three films you already own. And with the recent hacking of the "uncrackable" code, expect more delays. It's just not even worth thinking about yet. Like Windows Vista.

That is true. Not to mention the internet factor with Vista.

Like Windows Vista.

Nice.

I see your point, and personally, I think Blu-Ray is still a ways away... I noticed that Sony (i think) is working on a new, cheaper Blu-Ray player, but it'll take a while to catch on.

Like the PS2 launch, people didn't buy the console for its launch games...They wait for games like MGS, Gran Turismo and Tekken.

IGN called Resistance the PS3's "killer app" much like Halo was to the original XBOX...

Resistance is only good because it is the best game on ps3. Its a great game but i expect more from the ps3. Don't you dare compare it to Halo.

I agree. I haven't played it, but from what I've read it's hardly a "killer app" so to speak.
