PS3 Delays

[AndyC]

It's just been announced that the PS3 has been delayed in Europe until March 2007. US release is still on schedule, they are putting it down to Blu-Ray supply problems. Personally I am not too bothered, as it is at the bottom of my next gen console wants with the Wii, 360 and DS coming before it.

I just see this being another nail in Sony's coffin.

Let's hope so.  Three consoles is too much to buy!

Especially at $600!

I was at a Sony store last week asking questions, and apparently, the only way you'll notice the difference in quality from Blu-Ray to HDDVD is if you have a 1080p HD TV.

Since 1080p TVs are just coming out now, I'm guessing that the majority of the gaming public that would buy a PS3 doesn't even have a TV capable of getting the most out of the console.

The sales associate mentioned that the Blu-Ray Players would be available in October at a cost of about $1K. When I asked about the PS3 and it's $600 price point, he had no explanation for why the player is going to be $1K, but 1 month later the PS3 would be $400 less. Something doesn't smell right about that.

Lastly, he mentioned that one drawback found in some of the early Blu-Ray players is slow load times.  Ugh.

I'm still pullin' for PS3. It's still my favorite of the upcoming 3 consoles, despite all the things that have been going on with it.

I hope it gets delayed here until after X-Mas. That would hurt it a lot. Or they will ruch it here and they will break down a lot.

[Tondog]

It's just going to launch with 400,000 units here

Despite all of this stuff that's going on, I still think PS3 is going to come out on top this time around. After seeing some videos of the Wii in action, it looks like the controller wil be making games more complicated than they already are. But again, I'll have to give it a shot before I decide.

Yet another bad thing coming out of PS3 land.
We'll have to wait and see how it really does. But it already has a lot going against it. Blu Ray hasn't even caught on! The games are also going to be more expensive (cost of Blu Ray disc?)

I'll wait and see, but I dont see myself buying the PS3 anytime soon. I also dont see how anybody can see them clearly coming out on top in this next round of console wars? I mean unless Blu Ray really takes off and the cost goes down

PS3 is going to be fine, and I still don't see the price making that much of a difference to those who are going to buy it.

And @Tondog, nothing has been going on with the PS3, it's just these weirdos who all have a grudge and find every little thing they can.

So why don't you all take your nay-saying away and just

P.S. It looks like I'm going to have to resort to extrene fanboyism to keep things balanced around here. So, X-Box is outdated and the Wii is a lame gimmicky concept that's overly cutesy and all around...just...Nintendo for you.

[Tynstar]

The DS was a lame gimmick also right?

[captain_nintendo]

  Oh know.... I cant stand any sort of realistic critism.



Oh yeah, the DS was such a lame gimmick PSP = 
It's a good thing the Wii is going to be lame and gimmicky as well

[TraderJake]

My God, 100,000 units for Japan at launch? Holy bejeezus.

[The Metamorphosing Leon]

Did I say anything about the DS?

No. Scott said the DS was a lame gimmick.

I love the DS, I'm having sex with a DS right now.

[TraderJake]

That's hot.

[phoenix1967]

He's having a DP with his DS and DS Lite.

[Tynstar]

I wasnt calling the DS a gimmick. A lot of people said the DS was a gimmick is all. And the DS is selling rather well.
