Wherever I want to be
I pre-ordered one whilst out in town today at that well known retailer, anyway now I'm sat here having second thoughts thinking wtf?! Do I really want this thing or not? :confused:

No games really interest me atm apart from Motorstorm and even then im not so sure. GTA4 will rock i'm sure but until then it's a case of just having it sat there...

Even if I do go ahead with this, will I get my launch day console? Members of staff seem to think I will and it's plastered all over their window preorder now before it's too late etc.

Help me out :(
 
Meh, unlucky then really, had mine since 2nd december 2005 and had no problems. But if you're really only interested in gta4 its a great waste of 450 quid.
 
Apparently Sony have been quite specific in their allocations to suppliers. As long as they haven't lied, if the retailer says you'll get it, then chances are, you'll get it!

So did you get it replaced? Mine died after 2 weeks, got it replaced, and it has been fine since. Best purchase I have made in a long time.

Got a refund.
 
Well I've firmly bitten the bullet now as I've just sold my 360! :eek:

Even if I only buy games once a blue moon, I'm looking forward to getting my money's worth out of the Blu-ray player. Places like LOVEFiLM have Blu-ray films for rent and I know Blockbuster will be starting shortly.

I will miss some of those Microsoft exclusives like Halo 3 and Alan Wake but I'll play those sometime in the future when Xbox 360's cost peanuts.

Then there are bound to be quirky Japanese games that never get published here. Thanks to the region free nature of PS3 games, that hurdle can now be overcome. Plus having only owned a PS2 very briefly, I can catch up on all those titles I've missed like God of War, Katamari, MGS, etc.

I'm also looking forward to playing FEAR, Rainbow Six Vegas, Marvel UA, NFS Carbon, COD3 - stuff which I never got for my 360.

Why do you want a PS3? You don't seem like your interested in any games for it at the moment, you haven't mentioned that you will buy Final Fantasy, Metal Gear or whatever the ICO team will make when those games come out.

If you want it for GTA4, buy a 360 now and get it when it comes out for that. Not to mention Bioshock, Halo 3 and Mass Effect coming out this year, whereas the PS3 at the moment still has not offered anything more than Resistance and Motorstorm.

I think Sony will release a lot of cool stuff at GDC, so if your really not entirely sure I would keep the pre-order and see if your interested in any stuff they announce at GDC.

Aye, tis reasonable but not when you're supposed to be saving up for uni in the summer on crap wages. :D
But it's an investment, as you'll then spend all your time playing on your XBox instead of spending even more money at the student union bar. Even at a pound a pint, it doesn't take long to drink 150 pints of the watered-down Fosters ;)
 
LOL, of course! But why am I talking about getting a 360 anyway - I just flippin' sold it to buy a PS3 and some games!
 
HDMI cables, not asking where to buy one from(if it's a competitor). But whats a fair price for one?
