anyone here planning to pay $500-$600 for a Playstation 3?

[zleppelin]

Maybe I am too cheap but.... $500 is way too much. I'd much rather buy a Wii and 5 games. Anyone here planning to buy a PS3 or knows someone who is planning to?

 

[Qonfused]

I don't know anyone who's going to buy one.

 

[Loke]

I'm planning, got one pre-ordered so hopefully I'll get one once it hits Europe.

 

[WhiteZero]

I'll wait for the first pricedrop probably.

 

[Ren.182]

Nope. Don't plan to get one until the price has dropped quite a bit. Probably to about half of what it is now.

Also depends on what games it has. Seems that most of the exclusives are comming to the 360 too, which I already own, so really there would be no need for a PS3.

 

[DEATHMASTER]

Nope

 

[Shamrock]

I'm definitely getting one. Just not sure when. I know once the second, third, and so-forth batches are released, I will be purchasing one.

 

[63]

I might. I haven't bought a console since N64, but I definately won't be getting a first batch model.

 

[Hectic Glenn]

I'm sure I'll buy a PS3 if its ever any of the new consoles, just because really. How much is a 360 these days?

 

[destrukt]

For me it would cost..

$1000 - console
$80~ - secondary controller
$120~ - one game
$xx - component or hdmi cable

So, no way in hell I'm getting one and besides, it's not out till after March next year.

 

[Thadius Dean]

I'll just borrow one from a friend for a while, beat MGS4, get my fair share of exclusives and return it to him. Won't pay a buck. :thumbs:

 

[Leviticus]

Buying consoles on release is a bad idea. Period. If I do end up buying a Playstation 3 it will be a while after launch when I'm pretty sure the thing will work and I won't have to send it to Sony for some ungodly amount of time. Futhermore, there isn't even really any reason to get a console on release when at most 2-3 launch titles will appeal to me. Probably less. 500$ for 20 hours of gameplay isn't really worth it.

No, no. If anything I'de pick up a Gamecube off of Ebay for cheap and hold out until we see more titles for the 360, PS3, and Wii. Then I'll get one and enjoy a large selection of games that I know are good on a console I know will work.

 

[Asuka]

Ill be waiting on line for 20 hours like the 360 and will buy the 600$ version. 100% its like i already have it. 1st one on the line for sure.

 

[Baal]

No way in hell.

I'll wait a year for good games to be released and price drop.

Anyone who even has to think about it shouldn't buy it, especially if they have a PC. Just wait!

 

[CyberPitz]

I'll probably wait 3-4 months after release. Give time for more games to be released and problems to be fixed.

FIX YOUR CAR FIRST!
Do not purchase anything until you fix your car.

 

[Raziaar]

I've actually made it my goal to not buy one, and convince others to do the same. I hope it fails miserably.

 

[Stigmata]

After seeing the completely bullshit ad campaign for this pop-culture behemoth, I might actually go out destroying other people's PS3's.

 

[smwScott]

I'll wait a little while, until there is a decent selection of games worth buying. But chances are the price won't have dropped by the time I buy it, so yeah I'll be paying $500.

 

[Asknoone]

Am I shite.

 

[Kanuch]

at least its cheaper than relase price of PS2...
well, 500-600 USD is 15000-18000 Sk.
then count how much is 28000 Sk, if one USD is abou 30 Sk (read Slovak crowns)
its more than 1/3 of price cheaper!

and it will go down

 

[cadaver]

lol no.

 

[Insano]

Is Michael Jackson black?

 

[Lucid]

Not getting any of the new consoles.

 

[Solaris]

I don't think I'd get anymore fun than from the wii.
I don't really give a shit about graphics, I want gameplay and innovation.

 

[Zeus]

Not gonna happen. Until there's a pretty substantial price drop it's just not gonna happen with me, not to mention I actually I can't really think of one PS3 exclusive game that even interests me, let alone one that I care about enough to drop $600 like that. Agreed solaris I'm gonna buy a Wii as well, but probably not right away.

 

[Crushenator 500]

Am I shite.

yes you are

:burp:

 

[Asknoone]

Side splittingly funny Crush..

 

[DeusExMachina]

If I get the job at Best Buy, my 20% discount brings 600 down to 480 :naughty:

Even then I won't buy it :|

 

[ríomhaire]

No way. I will hopefully be buying a Wii in January though.

 

[Parlez]

I just bought a 360. I agree though I cant see paying that kind of money on a video game system.

 

[hungryduck]

I don't know anyone who's going to buy one.

neither do i

 

[Warbie]

Not at launch, but later when prices drop.

 

[VictimOfScience]

Not at launch, but later when prices drop.

Same here. Still waiting on the 360 drop....

 

[dream431ca]

The PS3 will probably have a bad start, but with firmware upgrades and as the developers get comfortable with the system, it could become a very good system.

That was actually really funny

 

[Iced_Eagle]

I'm gonna wait for a long time and I may even just wait until the PS4 comes out cause by then I should be out of college (if they release it in 4 years) and I should have a nice source of income hopefully.

*Edit* DeusExMachina: Erm, my friend is working at Best Buy and they don't get a 20% discount. What you get is whatever Best Buy pays for the item + 10% IIRC.

 

[Que-Ever]

If someone gave me 500-600 dollars and told me to guy buy a PS3 I'd be all "Yeah, ok". And then I'd go buy a new bass or something with it. And not a PS3.

 

[DeusExMachina]

*Edit* DeusExMachina: Erm, my friend is working at Best Buy and they don't get a 20% discount. What you get is whatever Best Buy pays for the item + 10% IIRC.

We get 20% over here. My friend works there.

 

[B_MAN]

im gonna wait til the price drops and they iron out any problems with the first batch
