PS3 Dated and Priced
 

I know this is going to be overlooked in the E3 thread so I will post it here and direct your attention to that thread. I will be watching all the conferences and will be happy to do live updates of them as long as this forum doesn't get flooded with new topics.

Date:
November 17th, 2006

Price:
20GB HDD Bundle - $499
60GB HDD Bundle - $599

These are lower then expected and still a steal for a Blu-Ray drive. While that probably won't be enough to push most of you over at first, once they start getting used it will most likely be the best thing for your money.

Gettin it.

20 GB is enough. 360 has 12. The hell do you need 60 for?

sweeet

Now where do I preorder it

Cool. By then I should have built up enough money at my new job (Casual Forum thread about it forthcoming once I know more) to be able to actually afford one.

Porn.

You've got to remember that they'll also selling this as an Entertainment system, so the bigger the hard drive, the more you can download (movies, games, etc).

Definetly will be getting the 60 hard drive system since i have plenty of time to save, but 1 question...when do you think we can start pre ordering? I've never pre ordered a system.

sigh... that is my ex's birthday :(

is it just me... or did the 360 go from pricey to dirt cheap all of a sudden?

They will get my money only if the rumored re-release of Final Fantasy 7 is true.

LOL

LOL

Good stuff

Jesus, better start saving.

I'm surprised no one is complaining about the price. Also, note the differences in the 20 GB PS3 for those people thinking about it. It doesn't come with built in Wifi and loses alot of the extra connections in the back.

I won't be getting one, but I have never owned a console within 3 years of it being released.

Fuck yeah. I'll probably have one by end of 2007.

This isn't to say that I am not excited, however.

I trust Sony way too much not to bring out a beast of a machine for Christmas.

The 20gb model also lacks memory stick slots, WiFi and HDMI output.

U need to be kicked in the balls.

oh come on, you can't blame me for reacting to her actual birthday in bold letters :o

Yeah I'm ready to pre order. Tax Refund baby. :)

Best Buy maybe?

$499 US means $599 Canadian. :(

Oh well. It releases a week after my birthday, at least I'll have money.

you are a fucking pussy

suck it up and get me some porn

I'm gonna make a few phone calls tomorrow and see if I can have one bought and paid for by the end of the day. :)

60 gig BTW

Considering rumoured price ranges were above 700 for this system, if it didn't already sound dirt chepa, I don't see why a 500 dollar price tag would seem to affect that.

*Chokeslam*

Well... That's not bad... We can all get one on launch if we save from like now on till then.

The question is how bad you want it.

I'm getting it a year after it's released, I always do with these consoles.

Oww,

Little steep I think, I guess I'm gonna have to wait for a pricedrop :-\

Not enough. Without a lineup of games that cups your balls while you you play, I'm not shelling out 500 for any system. It's just not worth it on blind faith.

Woah, this things heavier AND bigger than the original XBox....

PS3 from the press release:
Approximately 325mm (W) x 98mm (H) x 274mm (D)
Approximately 5 kg

The original Xbox
Dimensions: 320 × 100 × 260 milimeters (12.5 × 4 × 10.5 in)
Weight: 3.86 kilograms (8.5 lb)

And yet, I bet 98% of the people who went "LOL. That thing's a brick. I'd only buy it to drop on someone's head and kill them" will buy this up in a motherfucking heartbeat

Can't wait for this. Seriously. I'm beating my E-penis reading this.

Yeah, I totally can't wait for this to come out now. I will no doubt be getting the 60gb version, which I heard is going to be just over £400 over here.

I guess if you play PS2 games on it you can save them to the HD?

Mario: This is Nintendo's turn to shine.... your lame company had to steal OUR motion sensor technology to even come close. Your price is heavier than giga bowser and your system itself, is even heavier. Updating graphics alone is not taking a step forward... and this year, Nintendo will show you how it's done

*mario's music plays and he leaves the arena*


[/end fanboyism and lack of life]

why the fuck are you guys bitching about how heavy the system is. When i buy a fucking console i put it in one place and it stays there. I dont walk around with it and think " Damn this thing is heavy " . I'm pretty sure you dont either, so why is that even an issue?
