Try and Post some Pictures up that would be great especially anything as a 360 Gamer you think Playstation has done better.

Mine is ready to pick up from the shop.

Will post pictures and reviews up later.

I know someone who has just had theirs delivered today, but they are stuck in school :p

I really wanna play MGS4 but nothing else. I might try and forcefully borrow a PS3 off someone for a while ;)

I went to game last night to pick up FFXII, the manager was wafting about the SIXAXIS [whihc feels like a mobile phone mock up] and telling these punters that th ps3 owns the 360 because the 360 cannot ever do anything more than 720p. And that Component cables were technically incapable of transmitting a 1080p image...

I wonder if they do it on purpose or if they really are that dim. I expect they just have to push whatever is new, the ps3 was **** when they were selling 360s and now it's the other way around.

I had about 10 minutes on formula 1 and Virtua tennis. Both sucked balls and looked balls too.

Get Graham's, he's small and easily intimidated.

They really are that stupid.

Im off to Ayr to trade in a few more Dreamcast games, while I'm I will have a quick look round the shops and see if anyone has PS3's on the shelf to take away today (not that I have an inclination to get one :D)

You gotta hand it to Sony - this is a beautiful PR stroke:

Everyone who bought the console at the Virgin Megastore official launch also received a free 46in HD television - a Sony Bravia no doubt - and a taxi home, which we're sure will more than likely annoy all the gamers who placed their pre-orders at other High Street outlets. In total, the giveaway amounted to ?250,000 worth of televisons to more than 100 gamers.

That PR is cheaper and does more damage imo :D

Seems Game still has ps3's to sell.

[sub]

Local indie store where I buy all my games from has one left, and it looked as though a few other stores had them but were only selling them in bundle deals.

More funny that the 'I told you so' scenarios on the web are MS's immature gate crashings.

They send some barges out claiming Xbox 360 loves you to the Paris party.

They blew horns while Sony executives were talking and they gave out T-shirts to waiting PS3 fans with http://www.shkyw.org/ on them.

To be honest.... for the ps3 to come near the 360 your gonna have to wait a year...and see if a title of gears of wars level comes out...

Also my decision to purchase multi format games solely on 360 is because of the achievement system... that tends to be the only reason I play games these days...

[BARR2K]

I have got my PS3, love it to bits.. the live options are very good and imo they have had two games on download that have beat anything the 360 has on marketplace..... Tekken and GT

There is a big market for both consoles... 360 has pr power and Sony has the Japanese market.... Both have their allies, but the PS3 is a very powerful machine indeed.... as for a year to take off.... well If i rememeber the original xbxo only had one decent title for a year.... Halo and look at where the console is now ;)

But I love my WII and 360 just as much.... and my DS :)

Yes I am a tech freak ;)

[xXMFx Massacre]

did u see the luckey buggers that got a 46 inch hdtv worth 2k when that bought a ps3 at virgin in oxford street i was gonna go aswell!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

[DinnyHoon]

those 46" TVs were Sony BRAVIA 46W2000 1080P LCD IDTVs. Bloody good.

Also, what the **** were Microsoft doing? They're THAT threatened by a 12-month late console, that they have to resort to immature gatecrashing? Shame on you Microsoft, shame.

[Mazzy]

There just makeing fun. you gota love the xbox and 6 case's of fosters turning up.

[quickshot89]

im sorry, but M$ have already started the guns rolling with that site, give us some halo3 news, even just the beta, and sony will have a hard time playing catch up

btw, the publicity site is sweet

[Mazzy]

I wonder if Sony also supplied everyone who got a free HDTV with HD leads?

[DinnyHoon]

The BRAVIA usually comes with a HDMI cable.

[Mazzy]

surely theres a specific one that fits only the ps3, like the xbox one.

Nope, it's a generic HDMI lead as far as I am aware.

[Azure]

1.3 specification to be precise, though it is 100% backwards compat.
