Quote from: Play.comWe are thrilled to confirm that Play.com will supply your pre-ordered Sony PlayStation 3 Console with 60GB HDD & 3 Games at launch
:) More money than sense!
Arent they saying that there are going to be 220k at launch? in THEORY it shouldnt be too hard to get hold of one :)
Infact to show how easy it was, ive just pre-ordered one from argos, except mine didnt force me to buy crappy games with it 8)
Quote from: Deaths Head:) More money than sense!
Indeed!!
;)
Only thing worth playing on it right now is the GT demo!
And the F1 game :) So far, that is the reason I am getting it.
If past history with Argos is anything to go by (ie Wii and 360) you may well have quite a wait when it comes to your pre-order with Argos.
And lets hope it is hard to get ahold of initially ;) I suspect they will quickly go the way it is in the US and Japan with PS3s keeping the shelves company. They arent exactly flying off the shelves.

Regardless of what people say, I have covered my ass as much as possible, people seem to think that 220,000 is a lot, not really when you compare it to the 60 million plus population of the UK...
yeah, but noone wants one

And youve ordered from Play?
Numpty....
:)
I didnt expect to get it on launch though. I expected it sometime this year :D

Is that the availability....or the price? :mrgreen:
I was talking to a friend of mine who owns an online retailer the other day, and he says demand for the ps3 is very soft and expects no real supply problems.
he also mentioned something very interesting about game prices, but Im NDAed on that
Its not like you cant cancel any backup plans nearer the time, its going to be pretty obvious if theres a supply problem or not a week or so before launch :)
Quote from: evilslyhe also mentioned something very interesting about game prices, but Im NDAed on that
I dont understand why people post stuff like that
You might as well post "I know a secret but Im not telling nah nah, nah, nah nah"
(youre posting under an online nick talking about an undisclosed friend - how can you be NDAed on anything in that context.)
Hmm, not so sweet.
PS3 confirmed to be Ã,£424.99 at launch. Play.com bundle for PS3 has changed to Genji (http://www.play.com/Games/PlayStation3/GENBRW/3-/1022617/Genji_Days_of_the_Blade/Product.html), Formula One (http://www.play.com/Games/PlayStation3/STCS9/3-/1021992/Formula_One_Championship_Edition/Product.html), Resistance Fall of Man (http://www.play.com/Games/PlayStation3/4-/1022657/Resistance_Fall_Of_Man/Product.html). If bought seperately they would cost Ã,£39.99 each from Play.com
Lets look at the bundle:
PS3 60GB - Ã,£424.99
Resistance - Ã,£39.99
F1 - Ã,£39.99
Genji - Ã,£39.99
Total = Ã,£544.96
OMG I am being ripped off Ã,£5.03 :) I am going to call Play.com sometime this week and query where the added value is in the bundle...
Bundle price dropped to Ã,£524.99 which is reasonable imo. Compared to what it was anyway...
Also:
QuoteSony has confirmed that the first 500,000 PS3 owners who register their console will receive a copy of the smash hit Casino Royale on Blu-ray format. To get Casino Royale you must connect your PS3 to the network and register your console. Those living in France or Italy will only receieve their movie copy one it has actually been released in their region.
