    Ouch that's gotta hurt, this is too much for game console but cheap for BD player and console according to Sony. They are gonna need a shit load of early adopters!!!

    Good luck!!!

    If that's British Pounds, which I assume it is, try more like $1000 US.

    So basically, you're burning the equivalent to 200 hours of work, which translates to 25 days of work using an 8 hours/day estimate, for a PS3.

    Now, before anyone says "25 days? thats nothing..." I remind you all the first PS2s didnt last even half that much:110::lol:

    100 hours rather than 200, but your point is essentially valid. There's no way in hell I'd be spending that kind of cash on a videogame console, especially since nothing worth playing will be probably be released any time around launch. Add to that the fact I'd have to invest in a decent HD TV to get anything truly remarkable out of it... guess I'll keep my £1500 instead.

    Just get a Wii with a few games for half the price then impress your mates by looking like a total loon waving your arms about. :thumbsup: Wii, is the way to go. I only hope every game gives you the option NOT to look like a nut.

    Hopefully I should be tax-free, but I have a few things I'll be flogging to help pay for it. It's the HDTV Alchy mentioned that I'll have to buy which is the killer.

    I'll be getting a nice cheap 360 the day the ps3 comes out. Surely Microsoft will be doing some special deals round then to try and kill the others thunder.

    Indeed, I hope the premium X360 gets the $299 price they said, but with the same extras than before.
