[PS3] PlayStation 3 Discussion Thread

I was thinking of picking one up, but after adding everything up, it'll probably come out to around $900 CDN, for the system (premium!), an extra controller and a game. Even with a stupid name, the Wii seems like a much more viable choice. I read somewhere that it'll be $250 US, but we'll know tomorrow for sure. This can very well be PSP vs DS all over again, and I think Sony knows this, which is the reason they rushed the gyro.

Killzone (which is notably absent... ) is probably Sony's last hope right now to really shut up the naysayers if Microsoft unleashes Halo 3 around PS3's launch.

Jam it back in, in the dark.

With Final Fantasy XIII and MGS4, nobody can argue that the PS3 won't have its buyers (heck, I'm buying one eventually, I'm just likely going to buy the Wii first), but if Nintendo & Microsoft ever wanted to close the gap, this is pretty easily their best opportunity in years.

There's nowhere I can't reach.

I doubt MGS4 will make it as a launch title or even close, as the trailer did say "2007," and PS3 launches November 2006.

PS3 also likely won't have a price drop for a year at least. Just look at the PSP, which still sells for about the same price as at launch.

This thing is sticky, and I don't like it. I don't appreciate it.

I was hoping to see Killzone and Motorstorm, but I guess we have absolute confirmation by their "no-shows" that neither currently even ressemble their trailers at last E3. They probably look like that "Resistance: Fall of Man," which was in my opinion one of the biggest embarrassments of the night.

And here we have some shots of the PS3's XMB, from IGN's Weekly video feature.

I'm pretty sure those pics of the dashboard aren't final, at least I'd hope not. That looks like it was made in 10 minutes considering that it's identical to the PSP's.

I was speaking idiomatically.
