Her mouth is weird.  And her eyes are scary.

I dont see it being 60GB only, the reason  I think that is the fact that it has the HDMI interface.  There are alot of HD ready tvs out there that dont have HDMI, and if no component output then people will just buy X360+HD-DVD.

confirmed by the EU Sony rep, Saying its a bargin, and going on about how blue ray drives will be £600-700 so its cheap as chips.
They making a loss on it yeah, but i would not call it cheap.

I think Sony and Nintendo will come out same week and Nintendo Wii will be dirt cheap and sell better then the PS3. As a whole before xmas a parent will bet a wii or 360 over a ps3 down to sheer cost, only the hardcore ps fans will be picking it up for a while, complete the games and get bored waiting for it.

One concern i have is that the wii controler so far looks easy to use, comfy and games made well with it.
I know its all early for the PS3 controler but videos i have seen of people using it, it does not look like you can play a game that uses it for very long and your wrists will not be to keen.


I still love that card game using the eyetoy though.

No, because by all accounts a Blue-Ray player is expensive considering a HD-DVD player will set you back about £300.  Hardly cheap at all.

He hasnt confirmed anything.  He is being vague.

blueray isnt even a standard yet. Why would anyone pay £600-800 for a player before that battle is sorted out?

I think if the wii is released this christmas it will make the PS3s first years a lot more difficult. I think the 360 was in a way lucky to be the only console available last christmas as if parents were getting a next gen console for their kids that was the only choice.
