  1. 1 Million units forecast for Initial European Launch Period Great!

     

    London, 24 January 2007 – Sony Computer Entertainment Europe today announced that PLAYSTATION®3 will be launched in the PAL territories including the United Kingdom on 23rd March 2007 Good ! at a price of £425 Just... UGH!...

     

    Responding to retail and consumer demand, SCEE confirmed that initially only the 60GB model would be available, with the 20GB model to follow later in the year dependent on demand. Both good and bad I guess (I bet you they're gonna pull a PSP and say that the PS3 has dropped in price when they launch the 20GB version)

    The rest is gravy :P

     

    PLAYSTATION 3 Peripherals Available at Launch

     

    Peripheral - RRP in £ Sterling

     

    SIXAXIS™ Wireless Controller - £34.99 WHAT THE FUCK!?

    Blu-ray Disc Remote Control - £17.99 Too much, it's no good!

    HDMI Cable - £17.99 Should've been £15 but you can use a standard one anyway so meh

    AV cable - £17.99 If that's RGB then it should be £15 , if it's composite then a simple lol will suffice

    Component AV cable - £17.99 Again, should be £15

    S Video cable - £12.99 Good price!, cheaper than composite eh?

     

    Launch lineup isn't bad! Sega seems to be coming to the rescue (Definately didn't expect Virtua Fighter for launch!) and a decent amount of games at least (Even if most of them are 360 ports)

     

    Accessory prices are ridiculous, £35 should not become the standard for a controller! (Damn you Microsoft) I wonder how much the PS1/PS2 memory card adapter costs? Also what about PSN prices? (And while I'm at it, where are the prepaid cards for PSN, I don't wanna use a credit card!)

     

    As for the console, meh we knew about it for ages. You've either accepted it or not by now so that point is moot.

  2. Sorry CooInTheZoo but I'm gonna have to swap TOS with daftada instead since it would cost me more money to swap it with you (Since I would have to pay for shipping 3 times instead of just 2)

     

    daftada, I've just sent you a PM with my address, as soon as you send me yours I can post the games to swap. Thanks!

  3. I'm looking to replace part of my GCN PAL collection with NTSC versions, I'm looking for the following games...

     

    Luigi's Mansion*

    Wave Race Blue Storm*

    Super Monkey Ball*

    Super Monkey Ball 2*

    Super Smash Bros Melee*

    Pikmin*

    Pikmin 2*

    Tales of Symphonia*

    Baten Kaitos*

    Baten Kaitos Origins

    Chibi Robo

    The Wind Waker*

    Twilight Princess

    Ikaruga*

    Resident Evil 4*

    Eternal Darkness*

    Mario Party 4*, 5*, 6 and 7

    Mario Golf Toadstool Tour*

    Mario Power Tennis*

    Mario Kart Double Dash*

    Viewtuful Joe*

    Viewtiful Joe 2*

    F-zero GX*

    Prince of Persia (all 3 of them)

    Beyond Good and Evil

    Timesplitters 2

    Soul Calibur 2*

    Metroid Prime 1* and 2*

    Donkey Kong Jungle Beat*

    Paper Mario The Thousand Year Door*

    Super Mario Sunshine*

    Fire Emblem Path of Radiance*

    Battalion Wars

     

    Also if anyone has a Memory card 1024 or an Action Replay I may be interested in those as well. The ones marked with an asterix are games whereby I already own the PAL version of the game (I'm also willing to do a PAL/NTSC swap with someone if they wanted to for some reason or another)

     

    I'd rather do a trade here than on the US ebay since shipping such a large amount of games would cost me an arm and a leg!

  4. The reason why Wii's standby mode takes up so much power is because it's WiFi is still active and is constantly running on Wiiconnect 24. Other devices take up enought juice to keep it "on" while the Wii has to power it's WiFi as well as the 1 watt it takes for itself.

     

    BTW wasn't it found out that the PS3 uses up over 340w at it's peak?

  5. YES! This is fantastic news, Tim and Chris are very talented designers and come up with some very unique ideas but they've never been able to admit that practically everyone who made Rareware what it was had left to form Free Radical and Zoonami (aside from the grunt programmers and the music composers of course)

     

    Hopefully, Chris and Tim will head off to Free Radical to join their old buddies and some how get back together with Zoonami (They haven't made a single game thus far so maybe they'd be willing to team up again) If somehow that were to happen, then it's possible that the Rareware of old may live once again!

  6. That's odd, well REmake doesn't support 480p so that may be a contributor to the jagginess.

     

    I assume that you've already turned the sharpness down on your HDTV (since your other Wii games look fine), I know I did!

     

    But then again, REmake never had any Anti Aliasing and always suffered from horrible pixilation anyway. It's just that playing it on a HDTV amplifies the issue even more.

  7. I finally got some Vc points and I thought I'd try out some games that I'd never played before so I chose ecco the dolphin since it seemed so different to everything else and IGN gave it a fairly decent review...

     

    WHAT A PIECE OF SHIT!

     

    The game has a distinct homebrew feeling as soon as you start it up, listening to that generic noise Sega call music, and then it hits you. The collision detection is completly broken, although you wouldn`t want to play it even if the collision detection was good thanks to crap gameplay and level design.

     

    One of the worst games I`ve ever played, I feel completly gypped.

     

    Oh well, SM64, SMB, GH, SCV4 and Wario`s Woods washed out that bad VC taste in my mouth!

  8. Name: I loved it from the start (Was probably the only person to do so as well :grin:) and I love it just as much now.

     

    Controller: I thought the controller would be completely awesome and it turned out to be even better than I thought it would be! Mind you though, it guzzles batteries like a hot knife through butter (Got me some 2500 MAH batteries so that little problem is now sorted!)
