Stimpy said:As the title says really it's now delayed until March 2007 for Europe, not that I was going to buy one at launch anyway but Sony sure do love us europeans don't they

Serdan said:Rather dissapointed . They should bundle the PS3 with PES6 in March now to get me buying it. Now, how do I cancel that preorder at amazon..
cHodAX said:Ooh, having laser surgery myself this afternoon. Good luck with yours
inactionman said:Good luck to you as well. Getting epi-lasek, so not being able to use a computer for a week or so will be annoying!
Back on topic, I wonder what's holding Bodhi up? Normally he'd had posted something by now!
Apparently PES6 is a *this year* exclusive to the 360, nothing to stop them releasing it for the ps3 in january though, just not in europe obviously!
inactionman said:That's 300k for the US and 100k for Canada, BTW. It's going to be mad on ebay! It's also unheard of for a japanese console manufacturer to release such small numbers in their home territory! I wonder if nintendo will make huge amounts of Wii sales due to this.
Remember it was similar for the PSP, march launch we were told, then there were major shortages in the US. When did we get it? September, nearly a year after it was originally released in Japan. Glad I got a japanese import just after they were released in the US.
My money is on something similar, probably a September 2007 release for the PS3 in Europe, or something like that!
Oh well, this is what sony gets for putting too much cutting edge stuff into a console, particularly the cell processor (yields are s***e), and the blu-ray drive (major teething troubles, so much so that they are diverting diodes allocated to making stand-alone players to make more ps3's. Does not bode well for blu-ray!).
nath said:If the 360 comes down in price significantly then I'd consider getting it, otherwise I'm waiting for the uberness of the PS3 - as it will be fucking uber. The 360 just doesn't feel like a next-gen - doesn't have that ooo factor.
nath said:It just will, OK?
Bodhi said:Looking long term tho, I can see a situation where all the Xbox lamers are fretting over where to find £400 for their next console whilst PS3 is still going strong, so it's swings and roundabout imo. The difference in graphics between PS2 and 360 is not worth spending 300 quid on right now for me, so I'm more than happy to wait for the next PlayStation.

Aada said:£400 aint much the 360 will be around for a while and we are only starting to see what the console can do with games like Lost Planet.

I'll probably buy one in 3 years time though. Who needs the latest kit ? I've still got loads of games to finish
