Playstation 3 Information, hardware, games discussion Part II

Re: Playstation 3 Information, hardware, games discussion Part II

I'm guessing Gameshout isn't a credible source of info here. I didn't know. This article was actually linked from the PS3 forums. Hmm, maybe it doesn't hold much truth then. Yeah, but I still believe the PS3 will launch in the states in fall sometime as well.

I just hope the price point is within my reach, whether November or next year. I want a PS3 but I might have to wait for a price drop if it's too high. I wish Sony themselves would start throwing us some bones.

You can't be serious, Gameshout again?

I've said many times, I fully believe the system will be out the first week of November.

I wish these guys that QUOTE GAMESHOUT would just stop already. No disrespect to anyone, but that site is so bogus.

Yeah, there are too many sites like this in general these days. The biggest clue is that an official denial would come from a named source.

Gameshout just reported what a lot of major news sites did, except their 3 days late. I do find it funny that they make it sound like they had the scoop.

Did we expect anything else from Sony?

I am a HUGE fan on the Playstation consoles, but this is getting to be nonsense. Sony needs to give concrete information about their system. No more of this,"oh those reports are wrong. everything is going as scheduled." If that is true and I am not saying it isn't, why doesn't Sony at least give us a timeline. And by timeline I mean which month not which season.

If Sony is set on releasing the PS3 this Spring, they have a very funny way of going about it.

Re: Playstation 3 Information, hardware, games discussion Part II

If it was coming out in the Spring, which officially begings and ends on June 21st wouldn't they be taking pre-orders by now, start adding to hype with commercials, etc. There is no way it comes out this Spring. In fact, my gut is telling me that if it does come out at Christmas, there will be massive shortages. I don't see the masses getting their hands on this for at least 1 year from today. I own a PS2 and have never owned an Xbox, but I must say the Xbox 360 will be an awful tempting holiday purchase this year if it has a good line of games established at that point, and I don't think I'm alone.

Re: Playstation 3 Information, hardware, games discussion Part II

fistofrage... the 360 games that are coming down the pipeline right now are worth the purchase if you are just wanting some next gen gaming. I just finished watching some trailers of 3N, and GRAW, and I must say that I'm blown away. I can't wait.

Of course, I'll get the PS3 as well when it drops in price a little... but right now, I'm having a blast with the 360, and come next month, it'll be that much better.

Yeah, my wife and I had a baby in August, and I have to finish my masters degree this fall, plus with summer just around the corner, I won't have a whole lot of time for gaming. But a next gen system is going to be my Christmas/graduation gift, and I am not going to wait to for Sony if its not out. I must say, I was a Sony guy, but the Xbox 360 looks good enough for me, especially if you guys say the fall sports lineup is up to snuff.

I used to be a SONY fan also, but when I bought my XBOX 3 months after launch a few years ago, that's all I played. The PS2 took second fiddle.

I would go with the 360 IMO. I am going to wait myself till the PS3 drops in price in a few years unless it's a nice price point that I could afford.

It won't be out in spring here, only Japan. It looks like Sony is going with same launch formula as the PS1 and PS2. Spring in Japan, Fall in the states.

I read a rumor today that the PS3 is coming out in 2007. Has anyone heard this?
