The PS3

I'll be getting PS3 but only in about 12 months when it has settled down and some decent games are about for it.

Great shortage of PS3 due to European penchant for paying five times the price pre-Christmas. My little boy wants one but knows the difficulties as he waited six months for his PS2 and almost a year for a "Genuine" PSP. What is Wii? and is this suitable for a twelve year old?

The Wii is the new m=nintendo, and certainly suitable for a 12 yo. Cheaper too.

Thanks, AT. Might have to go along that route.

Cnet is a good review site, and this one has a video review as well.

happy with my PS2 and PES6 for now. Will upgrade in a couple of years when everyones dropped prices. XBox 360 looks class so it wouldn't bother me to go with that.

In fact, frustrations grew so large for disappointed punters that spates of violence erupted outside some stores with reports of fists thrown outside a Best Buy in Michigan, a Walmart store forced to close in Southern California, police being called to an outlet in New York, a spate of muggings, shots fired in (where else) Texas and gunman robbing a California store of its PS3 stock.

Plus, Sony is losing upto $306 on every console sold.

I'm going to get a Wii as well.

1. Mario
2. It's like £150

Finally got my Wii yesterday - it was a Christmas present off Mrs Horse, only a month late

Superb! Can't wait to get home from work tonight to get back on it again. Highly recommended!

I got impatient waiting for the PS3 so I got a 360 last month, after playing on a friends. I'm usually a bit of a shill for Sony products, but I have to admit the 360 is very cool (Gears Of War is class) and it will certainly keep me entertained till the PS3 comes down in price.

Way too pricey. I'll stick with my SNES.

I don't think PS3 will sell too well. Already people are being put off by the high price tag (much akin to N64's cartridge prices) so people will be reluctant to buy. There is no doubt that it is the most powerful console out there but that won't make a difference if only a select few will be willing to buy it.

I got my Wii on release date and have to say the experience is worth the £200 that you have to pay for it. Add onto that the fact that there is a gauranteed back catalogue of around 300+ games coming out for it and you've got a console that will offer significant gaming value. For anyone whose not played on the Wii go and have a play around with one when you get the opportunity, there's a multitude of things to give you a wide variety of playing styles to keep you interested. If you get the chance to check out Warioware or Wii Sports then you'll be part of the way there into understanding what they can do with the remote.

I have got the old Xbox and i think it brilliant, good graphics, Good selection of games and lots of internal memory so you dont need a memory card.

The only down fall i have with it, Is that you get loads of games for the PS2 that Xbox dont do and if they do the games then it take ages for Xbox to release them.

I am still an Xbox man though.

Anyone getting 1 tomorrow?

Put it this way, I went to my mum's at the weekend and brought back my N64.

Goldeneye - still class
Zelda/MarioKart/Rogue Squadron - still class.

PS3? No ta.

goldeneye is probably the best game ever

price not much of an issue but i will wait till the ps3 builds up a decent games collection

might get a 360 this summer

If you buy one, don't buy the original wireless pad. It's got a built in battery that's not replaceable so you got to buy a new one when the battery is out

Marshall · Post by **Marshall** » Thu Mar 22, 2007 10:01 pm

It said in the official playstation magazine t'other month that if and when that battery dies out (supposedly it will take a fair few years before any kind of deterioration) they will replace the pad with a shiny new one. Whether that is true remains to be seen...
