So is all that other stuff work an extra $300?

and HAHAHAHA in a nice way i laugh in your face. there will be less PS3's then 360's oin launch date. it wil be like taking candy from a baby on steroids, have a nice time trying but you will be missig an arm if you get that candy. end of story.

Also it's Nov. 19th....

(If I had the kind of money required for a next-gen system, I'd get an NES and an N64 and throw the rest in the bank. Gameplay over graphics, man.)

hahaha i laugh at that fact sheet too, that is goign to the CORE system which is a lot less and crappy, of course sony is goign to post about that, and thier amount is even wrong. they have changed it so many times there are many documents with diffrent prices. the real price will be $600 for PS3.

Sounds like you are getting upset at not being able to get a ps3 (Just kidding)... no need to do that.
Pre-ordering a product is a beautiful thing.
"all that other stuff" obviously is worth the $300, or else every single console wouldn't sell out on the release date, I, for one, think that it is just the trim on the more expensive model that is worth the $300
What I was referring to when I compared the release of the two consoles is the defects that a good number of X-box 360s had on ship... there were alot of unhappy customers with the xbox 360..

Also, take the November 17/19 thing up with http://www.us.playstation.com/PS3/about.html because that is where I got my date.

Another plus for the PS3 is the free worldwide network, no more paying for xbox live....

yea, sorry i just got back from running around in the pouring rain and walking through town and Alfred Univeristy with a bunch of friends.

Everyone has thier good points and this arguement will always apear when the time comes of new consoles. I also think it is like cars or politics. What you grow up with is what you stick with.

Well I probably wont buy any of them for a couple years(I just got a regular x-box last year) not because the systems might have problems but just because I am cheap. However X-box 360 gets my vote because I prefer it's games over alot of the Nintendo games and It isn't as expensive as PS3.

Also as a note, I am pretty sure the games/trivia section is for playing games and this thread should be in chitchat, for some reason there has been alot more threads like this posted in here instead.

How long will it take games to use that potential?

My understanding is that there will be two distinct bundles available as with the 360.

My understanding is also that if you haven't yet prepaid for one of the consoles, you'll have almost no chance at getting one -- that is, unless you're the sort that wouldn't mind spending the night outside some box store somewhere.

i personally think the ps3 will be better than xbox 360, the reason sony isnt rushing their ps3 as much as the xbox 360. but i also think that blue ray is going to turn out like internet 2. Wtf ever happened to that??? im also a sony guy and the only reason i got a xbox was to mod the hell out of it, im putting a wireless internet card and a mod chip in it. Its cheaper to mod than the ps2

Yup that is the plan exactly. Will be leaving at around 11pm and waiting in line in either K-mart or Wal-Mart. Same thing diffren tyear for me. I did it for the 360 also, actually fun to sit and talk to the other crazy people. But this time i will be spliting the costs with my friend so we can flip flop line/car.

ya there will be a $500 one that only comes with 20 gb and and $600 one that comes with 60gb, some cables for online use, AND AN AWESOME SILVER LINING BY THE DISK TRAY!!!.

Also it is coming out on the 17th, followed by the release of the Wii(stupid name) on the 19th, and from what ive seen on a lot of forums unless you have a preorder, you will most definitely have to wait in line for a decent amount of time to get either one of these systems.

Yup theres is two chances for me to get one. a 24hr wal-mart and a kmart.

im going with a friend, so we will be heading to wal-mart round 7/8 because they will be selling at 12:01am. if that doesn't work i will jet to kmart and wait in line, they open at 8am. i also have class at 8am too.

i got some inside information about the wal-mart, 10 consoles, only 5 will be the 60gb. thats what we are going for the 60gb. it should be a fun time!

nebody hear around how many Wii's each Wal-Mart is getting?
