PS3 is more than a console thou.

For a start its a Blu-Ray movie player, and standalone Blu-Ray players are about the same cost as a PS3! So thats a definite bonus.

Its also goet a web browser and shit, good for those without a PC.

Heaps of other cool shit..

I havnt brought one, but I've been having to fight the urge quite hard (and I'm not even a real console gamer.. only got a PS2 about 18 months ago!)

Went and had a look at my mates one today, looks pretty cool, id never waste that kinda money on one though.

My ex works for a playstation place plus my brother works foe E.A. games in England designing graphics. Have playstation games coming out my ears. Once the novelty of a new game wears off for the kids it goes with all the others. Have been known to sell some to make room for more.
Would certainly not race out and spend $1200 on a new consol.

I have heard of these people. A couple of Amazonian rainforest tribes and several people in Ethiopia, I believe.


They probably have better broadbean access than NZ though....

Consoles and PC's should never be compared.

I don't really care about all the web browsing bullshit etc.

I care what games are on the console

And fuck specs etc lol, I want fun

we got one it is awesome. It does soo much, you can game online, download games,view photos off your memory card and sooo much more.

I wont ever be buying a games console just put a grunty video card in a pc

I use to think like that too, but a good vid-card can cost almost as much as a PS3 at current price.

Will it play PS2 games, I have some fav, old PS2 games I like playing, found out the Xbox360 is not backward compatable with the older Xbox games.

More than likely it does. Sony has always been good about that.

And the #60 does play some older Xbox games but not many. Just the bigger titles.

[Indiana_Jones]

my mate can play xbox games on his 360.

Well I'm not sure how many. But we played Halo and star wars battlefront 2 on his 360.

I seem to recollect hearing they removed the 'emotion engine' or something from the NZ and Euro PS3 models and they only have ~60% backwards compatibility compared to the Jap and US models which are supposed to be 100% compatible with PS2 games.

1) Blu ray so what you have to buy your whole movie collection again?

2)Browse the net, as Indy said you don't want a games console for the internet its about oh surprise surprise games and fun

3)For the price or one of these you could easily get a good computer, if you don't have a PC but you have one of these you need to sort out prioretys

4)360 has much bigger hit games and the console is about half the price, and yes there are this many games you can play on your 360 which are origonal X-box game
