Agreed, Australia isn't part of the EU, and our tariffs shouldn't apply to you. Unfortunately Britain, like Australia, we pay a lot more on most things electrical, when compared to the "US". Is it fair that we in Britain and Australia pay more than in America, NO. Should we not speak out against it, hell NO. But given the price difference of £4 over the Australian prices of this bundle compared to the UK price, is it really worth an article like this? Sony are to some degree co...
The cost of the dualshock 3 is roughly $40 more in Australia than in the US. That's roughly £20 sterling, well guess what, if you want a dualshock 3 in Britain, thats how much extra we pay over our American cousins. Thats down to the economy, tax, import duties etc of each country, although Sony could balance it out a bit, but then the same goes for microsoft in each prospective country. But this article is not about dualshock 3 price, its about the GTA bundle comparison to the UK price....
Granted, in Australia your paying £34 more for your PS3 than in the UK, but hey check the difference between the US and the UK, its a bit more of difference. Thats world economics for you. There may be a few places in the UK that are selling this bundle for £299, but most places I've seen are averaging around £319.99. Now thats £20 more than this article is stating.
When you work it out, the difference between the normal retail price ($699 Aus dollars) and thi...
I know your joking (well seems to be a sarcastic remark), but I had to, you where on 99 disagrees, the temptation was too great, finger hovering over mouse button.......had to hit that disagree.
Do I get some sort of prize for being the 100th disagree button hitter?
Again, sorry man.
To the article in question, of course they've prob' pushed the boundaries of disc storage with this game, its next generation (more complex game world, next gen engine, la...
hmm, read the article and do a little research, well then.......
ASDA, a supermarket chain in the UK and currently the second largest chain in the UK after TESCO. It is also Wal-Mart’s largest overseas subsidiary, having acquired them in 1999. There are 6,500 Wal-Mart stores, in 14 markets, employing more than 1.9 million associates, serving more than 179 million customers a year.
And you say we should ignore any pre-order sales figures from such a company?
Are you referring to the xbox 360, as that uses a DVD drive, and the arcade unit is the cheapest console on the market, but a poor dvd player. (sarcasm)
If your referring, as we know you are to the PS3, then your incorrect on two counts. One, the PS3 uses a blu-ray drive (the winner of the next gen hd format that microsoft didn’t back, its not dvd, although it can play upscaled dvd’s. And two, the initial price of the PS3 was expensive, so how can it be a poor mans machine when e...
Definition of Guess to those that have disagreed with most here.
"To predict, to assume, presume, or assert (a fact) without sufficient information",
i.e., its a guess, it could be anything. We'll just have to wait and see, or until they announce what it will be.
LOL, i'll probably get a disagree for saying that now.
I just have a feeling it will be a sequel to Bully. Just for the fact that its been some time since the original PS2 release. With the recent re-release on 360 and Wii of the original, by the autumn or early winter this year it would be about the right time for a follow up. The GTAIV engine will soon be on show to everyone, what better game to get a sequel than bully, the engine would work great with it, and the first Bully managed to do rather well.
I've always played Unreal on the PC since the first game launched all those years ago, but decided to buy this one instead for the PS3. And man, does this live up to expectations. Its still fast, enjoyable mayhem, that keeps bringing you back for that one last go, time and time again. Every FPS fan who owns a PS3 should pick this up, forget 3rd rate games as mentioned by mighty_douche, Unreal simply rocks, especially on a big wide-screen HD display.
The 360 is only approx. 7M units lead over the PS3.
The 360 has been on sale for 2 years (actually its about 2.3 years) but lets call it 2 years for simplicity) and its approaching 18M. The PS3 has been on sale for 1 year (yes its been on sale since Nov. 2006 for the USA and Japan, but the rest of the world didn’t get it until end of March 2007, so lets call 1 year), and its approaching 11M.
Now if the PS3 was only keeping pace with the 360 it should be at 50% sales ...
.....before you call people out (and I know you've been around this site long enough to of read the predictions of analysts in stories posted over the last 4 months), so its you that is lying and trying to put the blame on PS3 supporters, not the other way around.
Below are just some links to analysts predictions, that took me all of like 30 seconds to find in google, only 3 links supplied, but google showed a lot more, and if you look in past N4G stories, you'll find a few more ...
we are on 2.10 at present. If being able to talk to friends, via in-game xmb, is in firmware 2.40 update (summer, approx june-sept), then when and what are we gonna get with the 2.20 and 2.30 updates still to come between now and then. I'm curious to know what other things Sony are gonna be gracious enough to give us in the next two updates.
In UK the white is available under normal retail, not import. When I upgraded my old psp to the new slim in the UK store "Game", I had the option of black or white, no silver however (which i wanted, but I believe the silver is available in Germany). Would be nice if Sony could make all variations of the PSP available in all countries.
Hopefully something they will sort out soon.
Just upgraded my psp to the slim, and the white as well as the black has been available in the UK since September last year. I would of thought that if the UK has it, then the rest of the EU would also, I could be wrong in that assumption though.
You really can't get it where your from Mart?
A review is designed to give an informative opinion of a game, to help people make a purchase decision. If bad coding is causing one version to be of a degraded quality, why not take a point of it out and reduce its score. This goes for 360 as well as PS3. It has nothing to do with hardware, yet you’d like to use any reason you can as ammunition in your childish crusade to make out your beloved 360 is better than the PS3. Kids in school playgrounds act that way, mines better than yours, nah n...
Its been a long time since I did any spanish, but I think he said
to quote "TruthBTold"
"Spain is the land of the Playstation, and they know quality when they see it". So, yeah he gets an agree from me too.
As the U.S. got "Dream On" - Aerosmith for Guitar Hero as a free download over the last weekend, was hoping the EU store would receive the same in this thursday's update. I Have tried downloading from the states, but its incompatible with the UK version. Looks like we get another uninspiring update.
DMC........let me guess, you've just looked up the American sales figures for this, and have seen that the 360 has sold over 100,000 copies more for DMC than the PS3. Before you post such a comment though, perhaps check global sales, add all the sales together. hmmm foot in mouth comes to mind.
Sorry Clinton514, ment 13.1 not 12.1. Its Mart I was responding to, but agree with your comment regarding the PSN.
another perfect score, looks like this game could very well be the top contender for game of the year. My anticipation for this game is now so high, still 3 days away......next week I'm not going to have any sort of social life, hell maybe none for the next month. I better take a photo of the outside world to keep by my PS3, just so I don't forgot what it looks like.
