[walk_man]

[Archetype]

[kryptonite23]

Me,I am just planning to buy it but it is too expensive.:(

[Agent 47]

Who will be going to the stores and getting themselves a PS3 ?

mine is being delivered, the games i'm getting will arrive on Thursday...pre-orders are good :jmp:

[kill bill]

its already out over here in ireland.;) 800 euros:hea: :cen:

[MiCkiZ88]

599€.. *checks wallet* few hundred short.. Nope. I'm getting it as a Birthday present next new year I gues :) Better games available then

[*richietrent*]

For £425approx. i aint buying nothing that cost that much, may get it off the catalogue lol.

[Dazzy]

This Friday is when the console war begins to heat up, and the Playstation 3 will hit back and take over at the top. I for one am not getting a Playstation 3, though I want one so badly, I'll have to wait.

[Legend of Lara]

4 days, baby. FOUR DAYS! :jmp: You can tell I'm pretty psyched right? ;)
I'm gettin' one of them PS3s. :D

[cal6n]

My brother-in-law just returned from Hong Kong on business! :D He brought me one across as hand luggage.

£320 including a second controller and Resistance: Fall of Man

It's awesome! Only problem is it won't play PS1 or PS2 UK titles. I'll have to keep my PS2 running until there are alternative solutions to play imports.

[Naz2000]

My mum works at Toys R Us and she says their is going to have to be security to guard the trucks that the PS3 is arriving in! There are going to be accidents!

[Agent 47]

the machines will probably arrive a day before....possibly Wednesday even..........but even then security will indeed be tight :D

[St.Francis]

Preordered myself one of those babies. Cannot wait! Gunna be the best thing ever to hit the shelves.

so much for "the machine won't sell because it's expensive" :cen:

congrats, enjoy it because you're gonna love it :jmp:

[Mad Tony]

I did have one pre-ordered off Play.com until a couple of months ago when I decided to purchase a Wii instead. I'm not too fussed really. I'll be getting one this Christmas anyway and I've already got a 360.

[Genocide]

Id love to get one on Friday (it's also my birthday then) but i have so much to pay off on the credit card and the bills, its going to be July at the earliest that i will be able to get one

[Legends]

I have Xbox360 and Wii, so I don't think so.

[mkdfan]

I have Xbox360 and Wii, so I don't think so.

Me too!

I'm only gonna get one if there is a game exclusive that i really want thats only on PS3, either a Tomb Raider, Silent Hill (which i think is gonna be one so :( ), Resident Evil or Grand Theft Auto.

[TJCorreia]

I'm getting mine thursday midnight, the stores will be open. :jmp: :jmp: :jmp:

[john_york]

I'll be there at midnight. So excited!

[Sam Burke]

Hopefully mine will be delivered Friday, not sure yet. Getting Resistance and Motorstorm. :D

[Agent 47]

mine will be delivered too

getting Resistance and F1 :jmp:

[LegenDarY]

I will.

The nice thing is, they're having this thing, if you buy a game with the console (which is actually quite logical) you get an extra sixaxis controller free! :D.

[Agent 47]

Tomb Raider and Grand Theft Auto are defintely coming to Xbox 360. If you have one already. I'm not getting one. Not only is it expensive but I want to play my PS2 games as well ! So I'll keep my PS2 and Xbox (When I get on). :)

[LegenDarY]

where???????

EDIT: just noticed your location :(

Yeah sorry.. and it's only one store I've seen it at. I'm so glad, cause another controler costs €50,-, so now I can play with a buddy without having to spend another 50 euro's on a second controller :D.

Me too, but I'm afraid that it'll be a while before it's available. But when it is, I'm definitely getting it. :D

This Friday is when the console war begins to heat up, and the Playstation 3 will hit back and take over at the top. In your dreams. ;)

[Naz2000]

Hey does anyone know if the PS3 is backward compatible....one of my mates said it isn't!

[Dazzy]

In your dreams. ;)

It will come true, Sony are behind in this console war, but they will catch up I assure you.

[Agent 47]

your mate lied
see here http://www.tombraiderforums.com/showthread.php?t=89892

it is backward compatible via firmware updates :D

[Mad Tony]

It will come true, Sony are behind in this console war, but they will catch up I assure you.It might come true. But at the moment, anyone could win. Heck, even Nintendo might win! :p I Highly doubt that though.

[Naz2000]

Hey i have been looking at tekken dark resurrection on ps3 images and it doesnt look like ps3 grapics......is it my eyes or does it have those graphics because it is a download game?

That's what I thought. Then my friend gave me this link:

http://www.virginmedia.com/games/ps3/playstation3-lowdown.php

Under the not cool list it claims not the european versions cannot play PS1 or PS2 games. I'm not sure if I believe this but it is recent; It's dated 15th march.

Take a look at this site: http://faq.eu.playstation.com/bc

You can see which games are backwards compatible :).

I have no idea, but I think it's safe to trust the official Playstation site ;). So that link will be all you need.
