I can't wait, but I can.. When the PS2 came out, it was $800AUD, this will be higher, now you can buy the PS2, with the stand, memory card, AND a game for like $300AUD.

Sounds good!

Discuss.

I hope that Sony isn't really planning on redesigning their controllers. If it ain't broke don't fix it. If the PS3 has the same controllers as the PS2 but with the additional bluetooth wireless technology, then that machine is pure sex, and I can't wait.

[imtheoneandonlyD]

Yeah, i like the design of the ps2 controllers. A redisign will only be a step backwards.

[mysatilac]

havent done any research, how will it compare to the XBOX 360`? which is supposed to be HD gaming

I agree about the controllers, but the new ones look more ergonomical, even if there would be a period of adjustment

Lol, yesterday I heard that it was gunna be called the Ps720 because its going back twice unlike the Xbox which is going back once. I hope its badass just like the before ones.

No way hoser, microsoft is going to kill sony....they are the only ones out for the holiday season this year. And about the same time the PS3 comes out BAM Halo 3....OUCH!

Edit: The 360 is going to have HD Gaming.

If Sony does anything to the controller, I wish they would move the left thumbstick up. It is much better for FPSs than having the thumbsticks horizontal to each other.

I dont think it makes any difference what so ever. Also you can tell how BADLY Microsoft is afraid of Sony, if they pull something like putting Halo3 out right when Ps3 comes out. Funny stuff.

Yeah it seems that way, but for some reason I doubt it. They knew what they were getting them selves into when they brought out their own console. It's feirce competition, but I don't think they're scared of Sony.

[BigFig15]

How much is this bad boy going to cost?

[Rally Sport]

I say around 400 but my friend says probably somewhere around 500. Also whatever system you buy, they are all going to look the same and basicly play the same thing except for some having exclusive games and a little thing here and there. The console wars is once again still going strong and it looks like it'll be another victory for Playstation.

[imtheoneandonlyD]

I cant wait for the ps3.

On another note the "related links" at the bottom is telling me i can get a great deal on the PS4.

[goat_launcher]

Hey, that's fucking sweet. Just one question (albeit a stupid one)- The PS3 will read and play Mp3 burned CD's right?
