PlayStation 3 Available For PreOrder in U.K.

motorheadabega writes "BBC is carrying the story that as of today the PS3 is available for preorder for only £550 ($1,020). All that and they can't even guarantee delivery before Christmas." From the article: "The electronics giant had originally planned to launch the new console in the spring, but was forced to delay because of technical problems with its high-definition Blu-ray DVD drive. The PS3 comes in two different models. The basic model has a 20GB hard drive, while the more expensive model comes with a 60GB one. The lower end model also lacks wi-fi, a slot for memory cards and a HDMI port for high-definition programmes. "

Re:Games sell consoles not the other way around

Good point. But I think a lot of us actually looked at the gaming lists for the different consoles. I did. What I saw was that the Wii has a lot of really fun games, in multiple areas of gaming, that I want to play, and that it was kind of spare for the PS3 and 360, unless I was a sports geek (hint - get a 360) or needed Blu-Ray (hint - get a PS3).

So, I'm down for a Wii right now. In fact, I like it so much, I bought the company! - literally, today I bought 500 shares of NTDOY.PK (Nintendo ADR shares), after having sold off 400 Microsoft shares at the market peak (before the crash).

Call me a fool if you will, but my guts rarely wrong about these things. And over the years I've learned to listen to my gut.

Re:I'll buy one...

Hi,

Yes, I am enjoying the latest N64 games, in my computer with 1964. I usually play Mario Tennis, Mario Kart 64 and Mario Golf, all of them with my girlfriend and sometimes a flatmate.

Oh, and I sometimes also play Army Men (both of them). They are very cool!

So what? anything wrong with that? I do not have to spend hundreds of £££ to compensate a lack of appropiate cock size with uber-expensive boring-as-hell console games.

Yeah, I am waiting for the Wii, and I just bought Worms 1 and 2 from Ebay for £5 (incl shipping) to play in epsxe.

So what? you surely are one of those jerks taht buy EA sport games each year just because to have the sports teams "up to date", when the gameplay has been the same for the last 10 years (yeah, I also love International Super Star Soccer for the N64) oh, and we also play Dr. Mario for the NES.

So suck it loser
