Chuck Posted June 4, 2006 Share Posted June 4, 2006 Does anyone know what the official Ps3 uk price is, or are there any other sources apart from play.com £550 pre-order. My friends trying to convince me the ps3 will be better ie he'd rather get that than a 360 or Wii, and hes got it into his head that its £400 witch is a load of balls because hes just got it mixed with £399? plus the only thing i can come up with is that id rather be playing a console with mint graphics, and mint controller and mint exclusive games and mint online service (inc ie marketplace) than a console with really mint graphics and a crap controller and few exclusive games and a pants (in comparison) online service. Edit: plus PS3 looks [insert as many bad mouthed words hear as possible] really rubbish to say the least compared to the 360 or Wii, unless your buying it thinking its a replacement for your george forman grill. Oh and did i mention its goona cost enough for your banker to ring you. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

immy Posted June 4, 2006 Share Posted June 4, 2006 I actually think the ps3 looks pretty good i won't get one till christmas 2007 because of the price but I don't quite think it deserves all the hate it atracts. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
m_fergy Posted June 4, 2006 Share Posted June 4, 2006 £550 pre-order It best not be £550 I dont think they would go to the £500 mark over here (UK) £425 seem right (Or £400) If it is anything over £500 I defo wont be paying it Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
rokhed00 Posted June 4, 2006 Share Posted June 4, 2006 Sony have asked George Foreman to front the launch of their new ps3. There will be 2 styles of ps3 the core basic one which only cooks burgers in standard mode they look no different to any other burger on the market and you can only get 1 burger on the grill at anyone time. now the deluxe model has all the extra's that the core model doesn't have, including blu-ray oven for all the extra space you'll need when cooking 2 burgers, plus the quality of the end produce is such high quality. you get high definition cooking with that blu-ray laser for those well defined char grill lines, and all in 1080p (full aroma surround sound and smell), Wow hear those burgers sizzle from any part of the room like your just standing in front of them and smell those burgers all round the room) and new to the range for the deluxe model is the 6 way directional bluetooth burger flipper , you don't even have to be near the ps3 to flip over your burgers, you just move the burger flipper around and watch those burgers flip like magic, the grill can use up to 7 bluetooth burger flippers at any time. Another handy feature is the usb ports, plug in your ipod or mp3 player and play your favourite music or download my favourite the sound of those burger sizzling and enjoy the sound anywhere you go mmmm, mmmmm. don't forget you connect the ps3 grill to your TV to download recipe idea's from Sony online market place for ways to cook chicken and sausages and giant enemy crabs(got to love those crab sticks). Its so good I wouldn't put my name on it buy my grill instead George Foreman Please Note : burgers are not actually owned by you but are licensed to you from Sony and cannot be resold or traded in. :laughing: :laughing: :laughing: Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jamba Posted June 4, 2006 Share Posted June 4, 2006 Other than the potential for brilliant graphics, 2 franchises and the fact that it's a BluRay player (which is not necessarily a good thing) I just don't see anything that is convincing me to think about buying it and that's before thinking about the price.

So you would rather play somthing thats an expensive half assed rip off of the other two. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Domstercool Posted June 4, 2006 Share Posted June 4, 2006 You don't know that it's half assed rip off yet. Some of the hatred for the console is way out of line. Yes it's expensive, which is why I think I'll get one when the price goes down a notch, that is unless Suikoden VI comes out before that, then I'm screwed. The thing will sell great in Japan, it will get the big names, the big RPGs and all the other big stuff. Companies are already starting to say they like it, although to be honest it seems that every company is saying that nowadays about all the consoles. At the end of the day, we don't fully know how "rip off" it will be and how half assed it will be. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mario_jr Posted June 5, 2006 Share Posted June 5, 2006 I said "rip off" meaning their "motion detecting" controller and their "online service" Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Chuck Posted June 5, 2006 Share Posted June 5, 2006 im against it,what i said was id rather play something less expensive with good controller and good online service ie the 360 than something more expensive ie the ps3 with pants controller and online service Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
