1 million units
All 60gb
March 23rd
£425 ($842)
Controllers are £35 ($70)
HDMI cable is only £18 ($35)
Games are £50 ($99)

Over 30 launch titles, too!

I've been waiting for this for two damn years! I'm so happy now.

*tears of joy run down face*

Looks like you got ripped off when it comes to prices.

Compared to America, yes.

Compared to what's been speculated, not really.

We've always said the conolse will be £425, and games £50. Controllers though, was predicted at around £40, and the HDMI cable at around £50.

To be honest if I'm spending this kind of money, what does an extra £50 matter? In fact, what does an extra £100?

I've just worked out the full price of what I'm going to buy on the 23rd:

PS3 - £425/$842
Controller - £35/$70
HDMI Cable - £18/$35

Resistance - £50/$99
Motorstorm - £50/$99
Oblivion - £50/$99

HDTV (32", 720p, Samsung) - £650/$1288

TOTAL - £1278/$2533

You guys probably think I'm mad.

You should just import.

720 wont cut it newb.


But yeah you're nuts.

720p isn't bad. With fast moving objects on the screen, 720p actually has slightly better quality than a 1080i. The interlaced image gets a little screwy compared to the parallel lines.

720p is all I can afford. Tell a lie, I can get a 1080p TV from some manufacturer I've never heard of with too many vowels in their name, and I don't want to do that. Or I could get a Pioneer TV that doesn't look anywhere near as good as the Samsung (aesthetically).

And there's no way I'm importing. If anything breaks then I can't just take it to the store to get it fixed. I'll have a £400 paperweight.

Import the whole thing, honestly you'd prolly save a ton.

Iunno.

$4.50 dollar manga from japan would have cost me $18.00 or so to import (according to this one site that I randomly visited)

You should just get a car. You'll thank yourself later.

Why do I need an HDTV, when I can just get this 30" 2560x1600 monitor
for $1274 and plug it into the DVR/PS3 when I want to?

damn, lenny. you actually have all this money?

I do believe it's worth it though. my next two paychecks will be enough for a ps3 and I'd be happy with that and the three games you choose.

I wish I had that much myself, but, then again, I just spent about $500 on a new guitar and case. plhh. having a job is grand.

Aye. I worked all over last Summer (11 weeks for me) just to get it.

Holy cow, you worked a whole 11 weeks!!

That's ineffable, Lenny.

To say I've never had a paying job in my life, I thought it was pretty good.

Thats pretty good not having a job then going right into something like that I think. Its hard to judge and get used to it I guess more so for some than others. Idk I'm on my second actually part time job now, getting like 35 hours a week little more than I'd like but it'll let me get out of college without having debt so it suits its purpose.
