    I'll wait until hey have been out a year. Read somewhere that the release price will be somewhere in the vicinity of $1200.

    I've heard of geeks knifing each other at the cybercafe after a bad session of Counter Strike...... so PS3 shootings aren't really a surprise......

    Some people were selling places in the queue outside the store on ebay for more than the consoles worth.......

    It would be fun to booby trap one then walk around there until the bastards robbed you, then remotely detonate it when they were getting away with it!

    Shit, I think I have been watching too much TV or something! Cheers John.

    I heard thaton the news too. Did you hear Sony are contemplating legal action if a console is sold somewhere it hasnt been released yet? What grounds do they have to do that?

    Um they're Sony.......... they have millions to spend on pointless court cases...... even if they don't win, they win, cause layers are fucking expensive

    But by all means take them on, start importing and reselling consoles I'm sure they won't mind, much ..........

    I see there are strict rules being put in place on ebay for those selling PS3's though. http://www.nbc11.com/technology/10328225/detail.html

    I also read on a forum, that preorders are limited to one per househould. Although they were not sure

    You know what's really sad?

    There aren't really any games available that anyone particularly cares about, yet.

    I give you Tycho, of Penny Arcade:

    The launch is full of... Well, Launch Titles. It sounds like Insomniac did what Insomniac does - deliver spit-polished hits. Past that, you've got Genji (rank), Untold Legends (just... no) and Gundam (daemonic). Everything else is something that

    (a) already came out, and

    (b) most likely runs better or has more features on existing equipment. Seriously, read the reviews.

    This is beyond insulting. This is beyond ridiculous. It is farcical.


    Anyway, some of us don't have time to play console games. And does anyone else think the control interface for Gears of War is pants? Give me a mouse and a proper FPS any day.
    kiwibiker is full of love, an disrespect.

    When I talk to my 12yr old son it's all about his gaming. Nothing else rates a mention. What did you have for tea 10 min ago? No chance, long forgotten. He has 3x Nintendo's, PS1 PS2 and is harping on about wanting X BOX. Now of course it's a PS3. Wait son, back up the truck! You know that box you wanted? WALLOP! Have some of that, lovly jubbly!

    you queue for the latest games console so you can shoot the shit out of whomever in the comfort of your own bedroom, and instead you get gunned down in the streets and robbed....theres a sad irony right there.
