    Sony are smart. The XBox 360 is around £250-300 so Sony would aim for around that price ;)

    Also, UK release date is aiming for Christmas 2006/ Early 2007.

    But whatever it the release date is, PS3's gonna blow the gaming and entertainment community away. Think about it- why would they show trailers better than the games?

    What worries me though is backwards-compatibility and Blu-ray. Apparently about half of the film community have sided in using Blu-ray for their films. Also since PS3 will basically be a Blu-ray player, backwards-compatability may not be possible unless there are secondary drives to play the (compared to Blu-ray) now obselete DVD's and CD's.

    So, are you trying to say, that the PS3 will not be good, or it will be good? You said: "Blow gaming and entertainment away", so it can mean both things. What was your point, exactly?

    First of all the PS3 is coming in Nov. unless it is delayed again.

    Second of all it will cost around 500, no doubt about that.

    Third of all the 360 does not cost £250-300 it cost 300 for the bundles without a hard drive and 400 with the one that has a hard drive...

    Fourth of all the PS3 will not be realeased in the UK in 2006, most likely it will be released in the UK around March or May of 2007.

    What do you mean basically be a blu-ray player, and backwards compatability wont be possible? It was clearly announced...it will happen... :censored:

    and finally the controller, http://www.weblogsinc.com/common/images/04...288975612371472

    it wouldn't let me post the pic..
    that is just a mock of the rumored, it has not been officially anounced

    So, what you are trying to say is that the Playstation 3 will cost around 500 british pounds? That sounds a bit strange, but I doubt that Sony will put it that high. The top price would probaly be around 400 pounds... And what kind of an ugly controller is that you posted?

    i belive this console wil lbe a big success but there gunna have to a hell of a lot of work in a very short time cuz 360 is setteling to become a awsome machine, i'll deff buy the ps3 cuz no doubt it will have some killer games as did the ps2 i just hope to god with this extra delay they sort out the controller is rather use the DS 2 than the banana boomerang haha.

    im realy looking forward to having this machine aswell as my 360 cuz i love the games that ps2 has to offer just hate the graphics.

    btw in reply to when its comming out sony is planning a worldwide launch in november im expecting a better launch than 360 but there having hardware issues atm so who knows

    and also the 360 wasnt £400 it was £300

    region free means it can play any game from around the world so you dont have to wait for it to come out in your country

    $500 would be a reasonable price. Would be like $100 more then the 360 and you get a 60GB HD and more power.
