I've got 2 on ebay ;) I'm not even excited about it though, Xbox 360 is just as good. I'll get a PS3 down the line when Metal Gear Solid 4 and the new Socom game come out.

I cannot wait either, unfortunately I didn't make it to the presale on EbGames here in Gatineau, cannot camp out as I have a lot of homework, so I pretty much have to wait maybe a couple of months.

I played resistence last night at EB Games and it was brutal, pretty sweet game...I wasn't very impressed with the graphics of the other two games, but then again I wasn't impressed with the Xbox's graphics of the 1st gen of games...cannot wait to play something that will take advantage of the full power of the PS3.

Also, the Wii totally owns :P pretty sweet and FUN machine, inovative as hell and addictive...I will definately get this baby as well.

Also, right now, my local telephone company is giving away FREE Xbox 360s :P if you subscribe to their High Internet plan, so I might do that because I wasn't planning on getting one, but since I might not be able to get a PS3 anytime soon, why not? Plus I wanna play Gears of Wars and Too Human :P

My son so wants a PS3. I guess he better start saving up his allowance, hey? :)

I just heard on the radio that there are people lined up outside Best Buy and other eletronic stores to be able to get the PS3 when they go on sale at midnight tonight (and it is still morning in most of the United States). :rolleyes:

Im going for a Wii myself.
The PS3 is already reported to have alot of backwards compatibility issues with PS1 and PS2 games.
It seems its better not to buy any sony game machines on launch, there are always shit load of bugs that they work out for later versions of the console.

Don't think of how the machines work right now. The Ps3 have capacity of being 2x stronger than the xbox 360 and 15x stronger than Nintendo wii. I'll probably hold it til the summer when the prices are lowered and all issues are fixxed, and the 2nd generation games comes. You gotta think of the future here!

Come on! 2x times stronger than it's biggest competitor( prestanda wise ), Blue-ray, 20-60gb HDD, HD. When the pricewars comes, I'll be there :lol:

One thing I won't do again is to buy it upon it's release here. I did that with the ps2, I could have saved 200 dollars waiting only half a year or so.

yeah I can't wait when they decide to come out with those ones.

I won't buy PS3 for some time probably though. It costs so much.

Anyone want to donate one to me? :D

I hear you, I spent almost 450CDN for the ps2 when it came out, and July next year the price was almost half of what I paid...

The only problem I see with the PS3 is that apparantely, even though its supposed to be more powerfull than the Xbox, there is a RAM issue that will not allow them to take all the juice out of the PS3. Last I heard, Gears of Wars runs at 512MBs of RAM and the PS3 only has 256MB, I hope the PS3 will be able to take advantage of all its power.

I was starting to get worried about the PS3, but after playing Resistance they all went away...freaking awesome machine and game, cannot wait to play Metal Gear Solid or Final Fantasy, Hell a new Resident Evil will totally be badass!

On youtube.com there is a video of some sort of News program and they are interviewing a bunch of guys who are camping outside of best buy, but check this out, they have been there since November 6th!!!!! :blink:

I've never been too into consoles really (a computer man myself) but I am thinking about the PS3 or the Wii, they just look very good. But, given the price of the PS3, if I chsoe to buy one I will definately wait for the price to drop a bit - like it always does after 6 months or maybe a bit more.
