UK-POLOS.NET - THE VW Polo Forum

Well firstly i didnt think i would of been able to make such a purchase considering the release date was only 1/2 weeks ago

I made a visit to Costco in MK today after work (as you memebers know theres a 3 yr guarantee with all items) i handed over a wedge of £400

Took a quick visit to asda too picking up a second sixaxis control pad and fall of man game

I am really impressed so far - pads charged fully in approx 2 hours, can turn the console on and off by the push of a button on me game pad how cool is that?!

im liking the look of the graphics - even had my dad impressed! (on my old 28" busch widescreen tv) - maybe able to afford a HD later in the year if im lucky

Hopefully have some more games soon and maybe a blu-ray movie or two

Good stuff Randall, wher is it you live

my question is.....

Is it worth all that cash? becuase i have been thinking about it for ages now!
i want one but i dont! lol

I would hold my hand up and say yes i think it is worth it - always have been one for playing games and the features which are packed in there is quality. ,aybe i a bit biase too though as i have always had a playsation through version 1 til 3

After seeing my mates ones I can say it's worth it. It's brilliant at everything and your getting a lot for your money (remember Sony are selling them at a loss over here)

I'm in two minds over this one, because the PS3 does have a Blu-ray player it does make it worthwhile seen as a typical player now costs about £700. However as with all new technology, the price will drop and also along with this games developers haven't really harnessed the true power of the PS3 at the moment, come a few months, may be a year the price will be lower and the games better, then I think it will be a better buy then.

However if you think about it the nearest console with similar capabilities is the X-box but with this you don't get HD output and wireless and once you purchase all the extra bits, you get to a similar price to the PS3...

Because of all this, and I'm not really a regular player, I will hold out just a little longer...time will tell.

I waiting till the 20g version comes out ( only the 60g version is out at the min) and the new gta. That game will take adfvantage of all ps3's capabilities and will keep me hooked for months ! (so i dont have to go out and spend £45-£50 quid on new games every couple of weeks)

Waiting for GTA4 as well btw 1litreheater, do you ever come down to the skool dropouts meets?

you can get upto 1080i on the 360 and a wireless adapter is only about 60 quid. combine that with a premium pack and a game for 250 quid you got yourself a hell of a console for 300 quid. The only thing is I've just been offered an unopened ps3 for 280 quid and I'm finding it hard to say no....

^^ for that money you cant say no Maxz, but thats may main problem with the PS3 is the price and Sonys atttitude toward Europe. I think this has put alot of Gamers off getting a PS3 and hence why you can walk into a shop and buy one off the shelf but Wii's were rare to come by. I dont own a Wii btw i have a 360. I also want to see what sony does with online play because hands down the xbox ruled the ps2, I curious how this generation will turn out.

i don't think European buyers have been put off too much really, Sony have sold around 600,00- PS3 across Europe in the first week and a bit!
