I adore my 360 and can't wait to have a PS3 as well.
I'm really looking forward to next Tuesday and the incendiary line of 'there are no games for the ps3' seems blatantly bizarre and uniformed.
As an aside, for those who currently own a PS3, which would you say are your favourite games and which are the unappreciated gems I should keep my eye out for?
This a is a great move from Microsoft and a good move following Sony's Slim announcement and the price drop.
Why do people still persist on this 'my console is better than yours' garbage?
Surely the likes of what Sony have done with the Slim and MS's response to it means that the consoles are more accessible and affordable - and for those of us who have one of the machines, it gives us the opportunity to own and play the other and more importantly a whole new set of ...
25th would be fab though ^-^
Hoping Sony Europe take the hint and do the same.
Sony took the console war with the original Playstation by the sheer quality and mass of their advertising, which not only phased out the competition but brought people into gaming who'd never considered it.
I still remember the genius of the 'And conquered worlds' ad - and oh my when I saw a Final Fantasy 7 ad my heart jumped.
It was therefore strange to see Microsoft take the Sony note with the marketing of the 360 and even Nintendo seize similar reigns and really ...
And I know for myself and 3 of my friends who were looking at which Blu-Ray player to buy, spending another £100 to get a next gen console is a no-brainer.
Good touchstone re the MS/Apple battle to as an example.
If you have an edge over an opponent, you take it.
If the opponent sees that as valid, it's their move to make themselves seem *more* competitive, which in turn can only be good for the gamer. Be it price point, exclusives or whatever it may be.
The Pro seemed like the most accessible of the 360 packages, especially given the HD prices to upgrade the Arcade.
Maybe this means MS will see sense and make the HD more affordable from here?
Now the consoles are more readily available and affordable, here's hoping it becomes about the games - and in particular that people who haven't upgraded, or else own one of the next gen consoles, get a chance to play a bunch of great games that they hadn't previously.
.. and absolutely adored it.
The entire Trilogy, tweaked, with Wii-mote controls is a big temptation to invest in a Wii.
So the Euro 'Bundle' that's 'revealed' is ... no bundle at all.
I intend on getting a slim and the only UK retailer to currently tip their hat towards something is HMV, who are offering either Far Cry 2, Quantum Of Solace or Assassins Creed with the console at no extra cost. Not a great choice, but better than nothing at all.
Currently nothing listed from Amazon, Play or Gamestation. I had a wander into Game and the lad behind the counter said they expected them to d...
I thought might be announced today. :/
Any thoughts as to what bundles Sony might bring forth to tempt gamers further? Infamous perhaps? Uncharted 1 & 2?
Firstly, it's great to see the Console wars hotting up a little. It's good for competition, will hopefully make for better games for all systems as they hope to outdo one another and snare a greater share of the market.
Great price point for Sony and perhaps it will mean a turn around in the amount of ports that don't use the system's hardware and finally multi-format developers will start trying to best the technology as they did with the PS2.
As a gamer who's been ...
His bitterness would be perfect ^_^
Spot on re marking out of 100. Why even mark out of 10 though. Why not …
5. Incredible,
4. Very good.
3. Average.
2. Not great.
1. Awful.
I know I will be getting a PS3 at some point, undoubtedly in time for the next Final Fantasy game.
I’ve never played a Metal Gear Solid game at this point, but it is in the bundles being sold here in Blighty with the PSP, so if I like that version of the title I may well be tempted to plump for the PS3 & Metal Gear Solid 4, should a decent pack be available. Loved the first God Of War on PS2, so may well be tempted by the PS3 incarnation.
Of the 360 stuff I’...
Certainly it’s all about opinions, but I’ve really gotten interested in the PSP for Crisis Core and have noticed a lot of games I’d really like to play going for surprisingly little. Not to mention a system that seems to be most versatile for entertaining me on my travels too.
As people have mentioned on here, Sony does seem to have plans for the system with the PSP store and undoubtedly some big gaming announcements on the horizon. With the increase in hardware sales I think i...
I wasn't going to get a screen protector, just a good protective case - but will look into getting one now - ta muchly ^_^
Thanks for your advice as well, it means a lot and i'll be making a far more informed purchase in the next few weeks!
What would you guys say were your favourite games on the system btw?
What sways me to any system is the games. Certainly Crisis Core is something I just can't leave alone as a massive fan of Final Fantasy 7, but the more i've looked into things the more games i've seen that i've liked to play. The price point for most of them online makes this somewhat of a no brainer too.
Likewise the amount of options for keeping myself occupied on long journeys with the movies and just plain filling the memory card up has me very intrigued indeed.

Where Sony kicked in with the Playstation is in marketing to the everyday man, en-mass, which brought gaming to the mainstream.
This is something Microsoft and Nintendo have picked up on within the last few years, with Sony seemingly sitting back. Whether it was confidence that the brand had already been established with the original PS and that PS2 had such a huge piece of marketplace anyway.
It's interesting to see that Sony are all over TV here in the UK with ads ...
