Since there are many things to talk about PlayStation 3, I've created a separate thread for this game system. Post news, comments and anything related to it.

Anyone hear how much games will be? A year ago I heard blu-rays were about $25 to produce so games might be $35 to $45. Maybe development costs weren't factored in because now I hear average price will be $70.

I feel sorry for all the people that are going to pay $600 for a console, and then spend near $100 on games for it regularly

I feel a bit the same way, but I like it that people will have the choice. If you want to spend that much, you can. If you don't want to do that (like myself), you can buy a Wii.

BTW, congrats on you promotion to smod, Neco/Zach :)

It does worry me about the PS3, £350 for the basic version when the Wii is £150. I know the PS3 has to be this much to meet the consumer demands, but I never thought it was that possible PS3 could lose sales. I'd still want a PS3, but I'm defintely waiting a year. And I've still not got another PS2, but that's to play upcoming games such as FF12.

They'll be forced to lower their prices, you'll see.

Really I'm more of an old-school gamer anyway (which is why emulation is perfect for me)... I can't see myself buying a PS3, even if I had the $$$ to throw around. Sad as it is to say, I feel too old for this next generation...

The price is WAY out there... I wonder what's pushing it's price up that much?

Playstation 3 game prices are around the same prices aa the xbox 360 55 - 65 pound, the playstation system is alot like a psp you can store movies, music tracks, pictures, go on internet (load up 6 - 8 seperate browsers, it runs as fast as your internet does), game graphics are 2 - 3 Times playstation 2's graphics and will cost around 350 pound when they come out, i got a movie off a PSM book.

BTW:
Any of you know a program which can copy movies off PS2 Disks (except for fraps), i can show u then :)

New info lol, Ps3 is going to be sold at two prices:

Ps3 + 20 Gb Hard drvie = 340 pound
Ps3 + 60 Gb Hard drive = 425 pound

The PS3 is going to be sold in the colours,

White
Silver
Black

Also, they have thrown away the boomarang joypad and just copied the Ps + Ps2 joypad, but this time it is wireless and has bluetooth, also you can use the PSP as a joypad.



They have made the Ps3 run on a disk format called Blu-ray, each disk can hold 25 - 50 Gb memory.

You can also download PSP + Ps1 games for the Ps3 =]

Sony says you can't enjoy the full Ps3 experience without a HD t.v so people get buying Lol.

Btw for all you wondering, Sony is making a Ps4, but not for 10 years.

Oh, and i forgot, Sony is releasing 15 games on the day the Ps3 is released so, no lack of games when it is released =]

@insanemaniak: No way Sony is waiting untill 2016 before releasing the PS4. They don't want to be the last one releasing again.
@Butters: I heard that too. It will probably depend on how the market will develop. ATM not all console users have internet access, and I don't think Sony wants to exclude potential users.

Sony already fixed many of them with firmware updates.

The bad news are that PS3 may not arrive in Europe on March...
