Sony Playstation 3 Console With 60GB HDD & 3 Games (Formula One 06/Warhawk/Singstar)

All for the bargain price of Ã,£549.99

Where is Batch when you need some positive spin on all things Playstation.  They sure have my preorder.  Gives me a chance to make up my mind wether or not I actually want one, sell it on, or cancel the preoorder. :)

soopahfly

Lol, for that price they can kiss my ass.

Nah, I think Ill buy a Wii, four controllers, three games and still have a couple of hundred spare :)
It's all fun and games until a 200' robot dinosaur shows up and trashes Neo-Tokyo... Again.

Ã,£550... No way on earth am I paying that for a console that I dont even know that much about...

Deaths Head

The games are Ã,£50 each, that should make the console on its own approx Ã,£400.  Make that Ã,£430 since you would be "saving" Ã,£10 per game.

One side note, the Wii part of Play.com is live and youd think that since Wii is not much more powerful than an Xbox1 the games would be reasonably priced.  WRONG!  Ã,£49.99  Exactly the same as the PS3.  The console will be cheaper but you will be paying next gen prices for games...

Nice to see another company jumping on the forced bundle with games you dont want option :roll:

Goblin

Nah, thats just pre-order prices on play, Nintendo have stated that the games will be cheaper (first party ones anyway) than the competition. Iwata has said no more that $50 for first party. Even with our massive UK magic conversion rate they wont hit Ã,£50. Ã,£39.99 is more likely.

skidzilla

Yup, Id expect casual titles like Wii Sports to turn out to be even cheaper than that too.

Ive never wanted a Nintendo console since I had the N64 (which I still use, and think is great) the gamecube just didnt appeal....


but the Wii will be the next gen console Ill be buying :) Nintendo have really got it right, I think.. some innovation!! not just more processing power a la PS3 / Xbox.

The *only* thing that could make me want a PS3 is the fact itll have games made by polyphony digital..  *sigh* Shame they wont release GT5 on other platforms, the Wiis controller would be awsome, I think.

I think Goblin has the right idea here :mrgreen:

They can f**k off tbh, I mean OUCH. Ã,£50 a game, evil.
Thing is going on the other thread, looks like the ps3 will have issues for many with it breaking so over Ã,£500 for something that looks set to not work properly is going to be fun for the people who pay for it, lol.

Nintendo are so going to be number 2 or number 1 now. I know I said they will die, but the more the info on the Wii has come out the better and better it is got. They could have done the wrong things but have done some lovley stuff and ideas. Still abit kiddie but will do better then the ps3.
