I decided that I want a Sony PS3 today.... I dont really need one, just want one and at this point I have a month to save up to get it. I kinda hope that with the crazy prices more people might steer clear of the top end ones. Does anyone know where a good place to preorder one would be, or am I better off just sitting in line the night they release to get one? A couple months after the 360's came out I was in a game store and a worker told me that a lot of their preorders were still waiting for systems. I dont want to preorder and not get one.

If you are going to pre-order, go to Funkoland in the Coddingtown mall in santa rosa.. They guarentee that your pre order will be recievable the day of release. They dont preorder more then they can get.

I just called and he said that all the preorders for every store are gone.... they sold out in a few min. He gave me a few other tips on places to check though.

I'm probably going to get one after the madness dies down. My 360 should keep me happy till then. Plus the PS3 games that are coming during launch time aren't that great.

Like the 360 they have 2 packages. One is $499 with a 20 gig HD, the other one is $599, has a 60 gig HD, wireless internet and memory card slot. I currently have a PS2, Xbox, Xbox 360 and N64.... I cant not have this one. ![[Big Grin]](biggrin.gif)

I might be selling my 360 soon to help fund the PS3.

I found these specs on a website. Just like all system before it, the first games wont even begin to push what the system is capable of doing. I cant wait to see how the games look for both the 360 and PS3 in a couple years.... kinda makes me want to hold on to my 360.
How powerful will the PS3 be?
On paper, the PS3 is 2x more powerful than the Xbox 360 and 15x more powerful than the Nintendo Revolution is predicted to be. It has a processing capacity of 2.18 TFLOPS, which is put into context when you realise that some of the fastest computers in existence can only do 36 Terraflops. It is said to be 35x more powerful than the PlayStation 2 is.

From what they said on Attack of the Show yesterday, Ebay will be restricting the PS3 auctions. Sure for the people that want to make some money that sucks, but for the parents that just want to buy a gift for their kids, it keeps it a little more fair to the average buyer.
Personally, I'm gonna get a Wii the day it comes out and wait on the PS3 till the insanity dies down. I'm very happy with my 360 and enjoy it alot.

Did you see some of the auctions for the 360 on ebay when they came out? There were people listing auctions for empty boxes but made it look like the system was included. I also saw people listing links to where you can get systems but made you think that you got the system when you didnt. I think its good that ebay would try and limit people getting ripped off. I'm sure that if you have a PS3 in hand and want to sell it they would be happy to let you.... after all, thats how they make money. Its great that ebay is going to step up and try to clean up scammers listings. ![[patriot]](graemlins/patriot.gif)

I dont think that the nintendo is going to be any easier to get than a PS3 on the release date. I never got a gamecube but have played a few. I like the Nintendo systems but the games tend to me more cartoon like. I like playing Mario Kart but nothing beats Grand Turismo and GTA. I dont want to get a system that only plays kids games and Sony gives you all kinds to play.

So far that isn't holding up. Most of the reviews of PS3 games vs. X360 (same titles) the 360 ones are looking better overall. In any case I can't imagine spending $600 for a game machine!

Not interested. I paid a lot of money for my 50" HDTV and I will be damned if I get a gaming console that can't display at Hi-Def resolutions.

you are are also missing the point that the ps3 plays blueray disks and those blueray players alone are around $1000 or more. Much better then hd-dvd format. Ps3 will be something that will last a while and fix you up with the best games and hd dvd movies for years to come. imo
