I don't know if anyone has read this, but I thought I'd just show some more information about the PS3.

This is from the OPSM in Australia that I have.

PS3 Top Ten

Ten reasons why PS3 will rule gaming

Photo-releastic graphics
We all say that it's the gameplay that counts and not the graphics, but one look at these games and you'll need a PS3 more than Paul needs to get laid.

Dual HD TVs
Why restrict yourself to one TV when you can game across two TVs. There are plenty of uses for this feature.

Blu-ray discs
As well as CDs DVDs, PS3 can play Blu-ray discs. These babies hold six times the data of DVDs and also support high definition movies.

Wireless controller
Never again worry about losing friends in tragic controller strangulation accidents. You can connect up to seven controllers wirelessly via Bluetooth.

PSP
Use your PSP as another wireless controller for the PS3, or swap between them via Wi-Fi.

Detachable harddrive
Just downloaded some wicked new content for Gran Turismo 5 and you're heading over to a mates place? Just bring your 60GB harddrive along with you.

HD EyeToy
Scan yourself in games and send and recieve high definition video feeds from around the world

Improved online
Hook into Sony's vastly improved online gaming with PS3's new user-friendly service. You'll also be able to download all the demos and content you want.

DTS sound
The PS3 supports full DTS surround sound for games and movies

Backwards compatibility
There's no need to ditch your old PSon and PS2 classics with the PS3's backwards compatibility. Your old favourites will also look even better in shiny new HD

hype hype hype

most of these thing have been around already but weaker or in different format.
I'm not saying that ps3 isn't going to be good etc. , just don't absorb everything you read from the internet.

At first I wanted an XBOX 360, but then I couldnt decide. But now I think I'll go with the the PS3, especially since I can use my PSP with it.

Also, which GTA are you guys talking bout??

We're talking about the PS3 version of GTA. The only information given out by Rockstar is that they'll be releasing GTA games for the PS3, but the title has not been released.

It was just announced at E3 that this thing is gonna be $500 for the 20 gig ps3...and $600 for the 60 gig. I know there's gonna be alot bitching about the price...but to this end i have 3 words: get a job. The price is fair considering we'll be getting a console that will be in it's prime for atleast 5 years after it's launch. A top of the line pc video card alone is $500 bucks. Not to mention the upgrades to ram and processing power one would have to purchase.

That's not all.
1up.com wrote:As it turns out, a little examining of Sony's announcement press release reveals the $499 model will lack support for Memory Sticks, SD and Compact Flash cards, no built-in Wi-Fi and will surprisingly have the HDMI output removed (necessary for achieving the much bragged about 1080p screen resolution).

Gamespot has filled us in with some of the last remaining details on the ps3:
http://www.gamespot.com/features/6125429/p-1.html

Unfortunately, some of the previously advertized specs have been cut out and as benji pointed out the 60 gb version holds distinct advantages over the 20 gb one.

600 Dollars can't be spent on a kick ass fucking vacation to the islands opposed to buying a console, hmm, difficult choice...for me. :?

This thread should be named the official PS3 thread, to save spamming of previews for PS3 games.

Here's a video of Eight Days
