Sony pisses me off too, but we all know you're just sucking Nintedo dick at this point.

The only chance of Sony saving its ass is by releasing the PS3 with quality launch titles. Even then a 499 price tag is going to be a hard sell. But it'll sell nonetheless.

Yeah, it's November 11th for Japan, 17th for everywhere else. Mucknuggle's right, people are gonna want this like a thirsty man wants water.

i always say i wait but im a sucker for games heck i even bought the first Japanese PS2s (bad memorycards) and no i dont like getting PWNED

I have a feeling that even at the insane price, the hype will sell the system.

It'll be interesting to see how well Nintendo does in a completely different price range.

Only 6 degrees of movement? This motion thing is as restrictive as a fucking DPAD. The ENTIRE POINT of the motion sensing stuff is to add more accuracy, this is hilariously pointless.

I know their strategy. The motion sensing stuff isn't really going to be a big focus of PS3, they just made it tacked on on purpose, so people would see it and say "that's nothing special" and then dismiss Wii as a gimmick because they wont bother to learn more about it. It's pretty genius

I'm seriously considering reserving a few and then selling them on eBay for mega profit.

Yes but the 360 will have had more units shipped to be sold, the PS3 will be sold out the moment they start excepting pre orders, the 360 should have quite a continous supply even up till the holidays.

I don't think many parents would fork out £600 for PS3, they would rather go for the cheaper option the Wii or the 360.

Does it necesarily have to be Wii that takes the throne? Word on the street is that there's a system called the Xbox 360 and it's already on sale around the world.

Can't even believe how true this is. Wii-mote, get off the fucking earth.

Everyone's gonna want one. That's true.

I think we all want a Ferrari. I know I do.

Then again, I aint buying a ferrari for $100,000 - and I'm not buying a PS3 for $499.

Also, why are you all saying that the games weren't impressive? What was not impressive about the stuff that they showed? The EA sports titles look ridiculous. All of the games that I saw clips of had crazy graphics as well. I was very impressed by what I saw.

Watch Sony release a better motion sensing controller once it figures out a way to bypass Nintendo's patent.

Everyone's just jaded, who are you trying to kid. I can afford a PS3 easy, I know what I'm getting in November.

True, there was some crap (SONIC, UGH) but a lot of it looked interesting.

My hope is that people will see how craptacular the whole thing is and then say "wow, I wish this was better."

Cue Wii.

Sony used CG last year and they're getting owned across the net for it. Had they showed some roughly early footage and some short teasers the reaction would've been positive now. But most of those fell short of what we saw last year, regardless of how unrealistic we knew they were.

Insomniac and Naughty Dog had great showings though, and Heavenly Sword isn't nothing to blow off. MGS4? Terrific, but not for $499.

How is it crappy? You're just trolling now (as expected).

I can afford it easily as well, still doesn't mean I'm willing to fork out $600.

Besides I expect all the first PS3's to give a permanant black screen of death, judging by Sony's release history.

Whoa... actually, they'd be more likely to go to the 360, rather than the Wii, since most casuals take games at face value (graphics).

Um, it's a tacked on, after-thought like, shameless attempt to steal Nintendo's main offering this gen.

It would've been more effective if the price point was lower. Since Sony wants to make it so that poeple can't differentiate between PS3 and Wii, they'll probably go with the Wii because it's less expensive and, to them, appears the same.

Hahaha, Sonic was driving a fucking jeep. ;__;
"GOTTA GET TO THE VIDEO STORE QUICK, OUTTA THE WAY REALITY TOOT TOOT"

...sigh...looks like I'll be saving up for just a Wii this year. My parents are gonna laugh me into oblivion when I tell them the PS3 price.

Allow me to requote Grubdog-

You're saying that ISN'T crappy? You saw the guy holding the controller, he looked like he was IN PAIN. It's going to be uncomfortable and awkward doing all this movement with a two-handed controller. Call me a troll all you want, but seriously now, look at how tacked on this feature is, and try to explain to me how it is actually good.

Are you SERIOUSLY DEFENDING THIS THING? It's a freaking FLYING JOYSTICK. I was kinda excited about the motion sensing thing on the PS3 until this, because of the racing game implications, but now those are gone, because the analog is still more precise. The Wario Ware Twisted motion sensing capabilities on GBA are more advanced than this, this is funny shit.
