u got that right spratster...ps3 all the way baby..wohoo...
im not trying to dis the halo3 game...its gonna be a good game..theres no doubt about that. its just that microsoft is really pushin that its gonne be the game that will crush the ps3. i dont see that happening at all.

and also i just read that sony will drop the price of its current console(ps2) to a merely $99 which will disrupt sales of the xbox 360. and if that happens sony will launch their ps3 in 2007 to have a super kick ass titles at launch......so they can layeth the smack down on their candy *ss. dont get me wrong i like both next gen consoles and im very sure theyre gonna be in my living room as soon as they come out.

Nah - I think it's human nature to want the latest and greatest thing - so although some will switch over the price drop, I don't personally think it's gonna do too much damage.

Also, I think people will be more cautious over the PS3 on launch. I know nobody who is still on their 1st PS2 as they've broken down etc, so now, even people not connected or into the scene in any way (or at least those whom I know) think the PS2 is pretty cheap and nasty through word-of-mouth by others - so I think many will be holding out a few months to see if any hardware changes or problems arise before putting down their hard-earned cash.

Therefore, giving Microsoft free-will with next-gen customers for about a year (if PS3 was to launch in 2007), I think will be a big mistake. This is just my opinion and some will buy PS3 as it's a PlayStation, but I for one will not be purchasing a PS3 until around 12 months after launch as I know just what Sony are like with their early console revisions (v1-4 for example)

[spratster]

agreed on the 12 month wait !!! iron out the impurities n all but just to say lufcfan ,i am on my first ps2 still !!! granted its a v7 but now ya cant say ya dont know n e 1 on their 1st un he he

Oh hell man i will probably be one of the first people in line . I'm guessing the PS3 will be harder to crack than the PS2 so there's not going to be any modchips available for at least a year two. I'll just purchase a extended warranty, that way if the first batch screws up i'll be covered for the first 2 years.

as for me im gonna be in line waiting to purchase the ps3...and i for one agree thats it gonna have alot of issues concernin laser problems and what not, but im still getting one. and after a year or two ill buy another one and i can sell the first one that i bought. i just dont hope that the ps3 will launch in 2007 if xbox 360 does a complete 180. although if sony decided to launch in 2007, then it will have a stronger launch library i say.

[lufcfan]

As I say, I will eventually get one, but not at first - as I just think it'll be a complete disaster waiting to throw money at after 6 months when the BD/DVD/CD laser goes t*ts up

I'm gonna get a 360 at launch, but Sony are ar*eholes, and when they learn to use some decent parts, then they'd get mine, and many other peoples custom earlier.

I don't like the idea of waiting for my PS3, but I hate the idea of the cheap 1st revision parts going even more...
