    I was powerless to resist PS3's goodies!

    Alright.
    Thats it.

    I think im going out and buying a ps3 this weeked, unless theres a bundle or something being released in the next couple of weeks or so. I was going to wait until GT5 and MGS4 came out, but im getting restless - ive got everything i wanted to get on ps2, and my laptop is 2 years old now, with a cooling fan on its last legs. My mate has a 360, and ive been playing COD4 at his place - to the point where none of my friends will play multiplayer with me because they lose too much (have to play halo 3, which is a lot more even ).

    But now with COD 4 being as great as it is (not a big fan of war type shooters, havent played any of the previous games, but this is amazing) and with GTA4 coming out soon, GT5 prologue out yesterday and a couple of launch titles coming down in price, i reckon i'll bite the bullet and get one (although it looks like i'll be playing in standard def for a bit longer yet - parents are thinking about a new TV soon, but in any case, screen resolution doesn't affect gameplay )

    But just before i do, what are the chances of a new SKU or price drop in the next couple of months? is there any concrete info out there?

    cheers guys.

    lol you wish.

    MGS4 pack coming soon to US.
    80GB PS3 + DualShock 3 oh yeah and MGS4 included. $499.99

    That's the only one worth something but I wouldn't wait, it IS a good time to get a PS3.
    I have been catching up launch titles for cheap now and PSN games keeps you very busy.

    does the 80 GB SKU feature anything different besides the hard drive?

    That bundle sounds pretty awesome, i wasn't planning on getting a ps3 till next year originally, so i haven't really been paying attention to mgs4 release date....but just saw its due out in june. Earlier than i expected

    And $500 in US probably translates to the same price it is here in australia...

    I don't think there is anything soon other than maybe a GTA4 bundle? also I don't know how far DS3. check the release date for that and if it is close enough, get it with the system.

    Australia tends to have the same stuff as eurpoe, in terms of regions its the same thing, but yeh, there are differences. Im pretty sure theres a prologue bundle out at the moment, was thinking of getting that.... i completely forgot about DS3 too, but i can always just wait until it comes out to buy another controller. a gta4 bundle sounds pretty good too, but its a game ill buy regardless of cost...hmmm.....to wait or not to wait...

    yeh, ill have to go back and find a few bargains i think.

    might take a look at jb hifi here in australia, they seem to have the cheapest games, and are usually first to bring the prices down.

    Bloody hell the controller is light...

    reading the thread title, i thought you were talking about buying a PS3 near launch. lol
    I think this is a good time to buy a PS3. everything is starting to roll out nicely.

    sure, but I was being general in case others were in the same spot. also, don't forget online shopping.

    yeh, i realised the thread title was a bit ambiguous, but i couldn't change it.... perhaps it could be changed to "boguht a ps3 earlier than anticipated", or something along those lines.........

    Well its all set up now, and after installing firmware 2.16, im just waiting for prologue to install to the hdd, which gives me time for a meat pie and a beer

    Edited thread title for accuracy!
     
    There's a special kind of nerd though, who thinks computers will overtake mankind in thirty years, changing humanity in ways incomprehensible to us now, ignoring the third of the world without electricity. It gives spiritual significance to technology developed primarily for entertainment and warfare and gives nerds something to obsess over that isn't the crushing vacuousness of their lives.

    lol, much better, thanks lali

    gt5 is awesome... don't know why the triggers aren't default accel/brake, but easily fixed. using the golf gti, shadows are amazing through the tunnel on the eiger norwand track.... although class c is waaay too easy...
