Re: Ps3

its still cheaper to buy the xbox for 399 and add the wireless card

Re: Ps3

He went on to say that you can get BOTH the Nintendo Wii AND the base 360 for the price of a PS3.

I think this is the most important thing he said. Ya gotta consider the source here, to some extent. This guy isn't going to be able to sell you a PS3, because there won't be any on the shelves this Christmas. He's in sales, so of course he's going to do what he can to encourage you to favor something he can actually sell you.

Some of his criticism is probably valid to some extent, but I wouldn't overreact.

Re: Ps3

how come nobody talks about the Wii ?? lol, don't underestimate the power of presents, think about how many consoles will be purchased from parents just wanting their kids to hush their little mouths (considering the fact that it will be the lower-cost console).

Re: Ps3

just saw the PS3 in stores today ... i think they are imported sets from Japan or something 'cos the prices are crazy ... $1400 (USD$900) for a 20Gb set and $1600 (USD$1030) for the 60Gb

whats even more crazy about it is that there isnt any games on sale for the PS3 so people would basically just be buying the console and nothing else

Re: Ps3

Even though its expensive, but don't forget you can play Blu-ray movies on it. The Blu-ray player alone sells for $999. I'd rather wait til prices come down early next year and more supply for 2 main reasons - there could be lots of bugs to work out early in production like someone mentioned and there doesn't appear to be great games at launch.

Re: Ps3

you also have to see how many Movie Companies are releasing under the Blu-Ray format vs. HD-DVD

Re: Ps3

being expensive is one thing but selling it at double the cost of the published retail is just madness

Re: Ps3

i'm waiting till the format war is won before i purchase either blue ray or hd dvd...no point in waisting the $$$ for something that might end up equivelant to a BETA player.

Re: Ps3

buddy of mine went to stand in line this morning to get one when they went on sale at midnight. Of course, he was already too late, as there had been people that camped out last night in line.

As an aside, the weather in St. Louis yesterday was beyond shitty. Cold, rainy, and blustery. It must have been miserable evening for them.
