Towers Posted April 6, 2006 Share Posted April 6, 2006 I think they have shot themselves in the foot with a price tag that high. Don't get me wrong, sure some bachelours will buy it cause it's got Playstation written on it but they're missing out massively on the council estate Chavs who all own the current PS2. On top of that kids at school won't have one (The rich ones may) which means word of mouth doesn't happen. I think Sony are playing on their brand names, both the Playstation and Blu-Ray name hoping to make it a seller.. I think for that price they're wrong.

I read somewhere that the PS3 can even play games. But don't quote me on that one. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DiemetriX Posted April 7, 2006 Share Posted April 7, 2006 TBH. There's no games announced that make me want a PS3. And the only reason I use my PS2 is Singstar/Buzz/Guitar Hero But I'm buying a PS3 this/next year anywayz. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

DiemetriX Posted April 7, 2006 Share Posted April 7, 2006 Well... I'm known for wasting money... I got 4 GC, 3 Xboxes and an Ngage :| and I cant remember the last time I used my PSP. Having all the nextgen consoles is a must for me. I feel it's my job since i work in a gamestore. And I'll have no problems affording it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Yoshiking Posted April 7, 2006 Share Posted April 7, 2006 I'll never be able to afford a PS3. Then again, I don't want one. I have never used my PS2. That's right. Never. Probably mainly because I took it apart (and then my friend smashed all the pieces), but nonetheless. I don't wanna spend that much money on something I'll never use.

DiemetriX Posted April 7, 2006 Share Posted April 7, 2006 If the PS3 does eveything they say it can do I wouldn't call it a wast of money. (for my sake) It will then replace my PC, fry my food, and entertain me in ways only the revolution can surpass. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

DiemetriX Posted April 8, 2006 Share Posted April 8, 2006 You do know that it can be done on the X-Box, right? Xbox is limmited to my own home. If i can have my PS3 at home and watch anything anywhere on PSP... THAT would be awsome Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MasterYoda Posted April 8, 2006 Share Posted April 8, 2006 Well you can already watch videos on the PSP. Why would you need a PS3 to watch videos? But it surely won't be a waste of money anyway Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

But if i can STREAM all the media i have on the PS3 Hardisk perfectley to my PSP anywhere, It's a big pluss. No more boring tripps to my GF :P no more slo days at work.

Tellyn Posted April 8, 2006 Share Posted April 8, 2006 I draw the link at Revo at 200 quid. If it has a massive bundle like that GC shell for the controller and all the other shells, nun-chuckas, games, and maybe an updated Wi-Fi connector, then I'm in. Hell, I'll buy it whatever. The last sony console I bought was PS1 and it will stay like that. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I'd say PS3=Revo and both >>> 360. YOU'RE NOT WASTING YOUR MONEY!!! If you like japanise RPGs and Sony franchises, that is. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If it has a massive bundle like that GC shell for the controller and all the other shells, nun-chuckas, games, and maybe an updated Wi-Fi connector, then I'm in. What's wrong with the current connector? I don't think they should bundle the connector with it as many people a) already have one or b) have something else. They can buy it seperately if they need/want one. I would say £200 for the console, a controller (with nun-chuck and shell) and a game. Realistically, it wont be any cheaper that that, I reckon the console will be £130, the same price as the GC at launch. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mokong Posted April 8, 2006 Share Posted April 8, 2006 Jesus if the PS3 itself is gonna be £400 i can only cringe at what the price of the games may be Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
AshMat Posted April 8, 2006 Share Posted April 8, 2006 My bet is anything up to and including 60 pounds for a game. I would guess 30 for a controller, but we don't know what the controller will be like since we don't know what it is anymore. Im guessing itll have motion sensors, tv remote shape..

goku21 Posted April 8, 2006 Share Posted April 8, 2006 Hey Hey people not so much blind fanboyism please...we are nintendofans as you can see in the posts above but let´s not do the same faults the other fanboys do...or it´s not going to change in future...just simple bashing is stupid...some people really have the money and a practical use of all the gameunneccessary features, people that like converting films because they are DIVX-Fanboys for example are pleased with the PS3...it might be really fast in these things...or perhaps for linux-techies this is a good one too, gamers are buying this stuff too because they are satisfied to have the new sony-console...and that´s O.K. i think, i´ll buy a revo anyway, I wasn´t that hyped for a looooooong time, but same goes for sony fans....

Domstercool Posted April 8, 2006 Share Posted April 8, 2006 For me it's Makai Kingdom, nuff said. I'm a super fan of Nippon Ichi and they are supporting the PS3, So I buy it. It is really that simple. Also the fact that the PS3 will still be the RPG console yet again, there is no doubt about it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
