Yeah I'm a pretty big PS fan.;)

I don't play it much now, because I'm going to Tafe, but I love racing simulators and the Grand Theft Auto Series. I'm 21 BTW.

Im a big PS fan, love it just for the racing games V8SC3 is good just because it's V8SC i guess, NFS series games are usually quite good, but Gran Tourismo 4 takes the prize that game is in a league of it's own.

Can't wait for PS3, and the next Gran Tourismo game hopefully with some more Aussie cars.

I'm 14. I reckon GT5 should have body kits @ damage. It's confirmed that it can now have 21 cars on track instead of 6!!

The PS3 is due out here next month but I think its a joke.

Sony are retailing it for $1000 which is a complete ripoff.
The only reason why its so damn expensive is because it has a bluray drive which usually costs $1000 by itself anyway so if you think of the PS3 that way you are actually getting a bargain but hey, how many people are buying it for Bluray playback?

Not that many because less than 10% of the population own HDTV's and besides that fact, Sony dont even offer the proper high definition cables out of the box you'll need to buy them separately if you want to use your PS3 in a resolution higher than 480i.

Other than that, there arent many good games out on the system yet that you couldn't find on Xbox360 as a better version.
The graphics are in no way more better and its had a year longer in development too.
Its online isnt anywhere near as good as Xbox Live either.

I'm still going to pick a PS3 up eventually but when they are more affordable and have decent games on it which is why you buy a games in the first place. :

My brother has a PS2 and the only game he has is Gran Turismo 4, but it is awesome game though. Apart from that, not really into PS much.

Who the hell buys consoles when they first come out anyway? Besides cashed up nerds with no concept of money management.

I bought a PS1 way back when it first came out.
I'm proud to say it still works almost as well as it did when i first bought it, as long as its upside down and in summer gets a steady stream of cool air from a small fan sitting on top of it :

Never had a recall...not bad for a 10 year old console

Spoilt kids. I knew one who had a PS2 on pre-order in 2000 for $700 plus.

or possible people who have "good money management" and thought to themselves, "hey, the xbox 360 comes out in 6 months, if i save a $100 a month i'll be able to buy it as soon as it comes out"

Xbox is also mad, it just never opened up to me. Why waste money when you have a PS2 that has every accessory on earth (EyeToy, internet etc)

Nah, don't like the Playstation. It was good (original) but the PS2 wasn't **** hot and the PS3 is just insanely over priced and over-exaggerated.

I'm a Microsoft fan-boy (yeah, deal with it), so naturally I'm an Xbox person. I used to own an Xbox, but I now own an Xbox 360 and I think it's great.
