just want to say I have ps3 now

I'm so sorry for the loss of your $600.

Given that SCE is probably going to drop the price of the PS3, after experiencing a $1.3 BILLION loss.

And this is to Sony:

Think people will pay $600 for a piece of **** console?! One which you obviously rushed to match the release with the Wii! That's why all your good games are jumping ship, all the way to Xbox 360!

Congrats on your $600 HD/Blue-ray paperweight.

it not loss to me it what i wanted

what are you talking about and thx

I never understood why people rally around game systems like a sports team. That's kind of silly.

I will buy the PS3 when GTA 4 comes out for it, cause the only games I want are Grand Theft Auto and Gran Turismo. That's all I want it for.

However, the Wii is really addicting.

Why not buy GTA for the 360

xbox 360 is a fire hazard

like the guy below your statement said why not get GTA 4 on 360? I agree with you for the most but Sony's Business strategy for the PS3 has been rediculous and worthy of heavy taunting. And I'm not paying $600 for something thats primary function is to play Videogames.

Man, you guys are nuts! I love the PS3! When that thing was sold out in the US, it was warming shelves here in Japan. The PS3 made me thousands of dollars! More than enough to keep one and STILL turn a huge profit.


...of course, I sold that one too and made an even BIGGER profit! Thank you, PS3, for taking care of my Christmas budget!

Didn't the whole "fire-hazard" thing end with the second line of 360's?

I got an elite. No overheating problems what-so-ever.

Not only do I now have a 360. A couple games for it. A bigger harddrive and the HD-whatchamacallit.

But I can also network my 360 to my computer and watch all the TV shows I have on the comp from the 360.

No more watching stuff from my computer screen. It goes right to the TV.

Had I known the 360 did that before. Would have gotten one sooner.

Because how would I play Gran Turismo on the 360?

Two games I want GTA4 and Gran Turismo. What ever system has both, I will buy.

UNless they came out for Wii, cause that one I have.

Fun fact, GetterDragun, when you buy GT5 for PS3, you don't actually get the whole game.

It's $60 for the disc, with about 15% availible. No! You don't get it right-off, you still have to unlock the rest of that 15%.

For about $20, you can get the opportunity to unlock the other 85%.

That's some pretty shady business, if you ask me.

Wow, I never heard that before.

I officially hate Sony even more now.

Since you said "for the PS3", I'm assuming that's an exclusive thing for the PS3 and the whole game is bought with that $60 for the 360 version?

I didn't even now it was coming out for 360.

But as for downloadable cars, I can't remember where I heard it, but I think I heard it first at Penny Arcade.

In any case, Gran Turismo sucks. Heavily. I had to force myself to finish a track, because by the time that second lap came around, I stopped caring.

Then I try Burnout: Revenge, and I have a hard time putting the controller down.

But seriously, I prefer Project Gotham Racing. (Even though I've only really played PGR2) At least I can TURN, even though I have to drift to do so.

Wait, I'm talking about Gran Turismo 5. What are YOU talking about?

Doesn't bother me. So I'm paying $20 extra dollars? What's the big deal?

You seriously don't see whats wrong with that? Well I guess all of us can't fling around cash like theres no tomorrow.

You pay $60 for a game. What do you expect from it? For it atleast to be complete.

Instead you get a game thats not even half on the disc. Then you get to go to Sony's online whatever it's called. And pay 20 more dollars just to finish getting a game that you already bought.

So you're paying $80 for a single game. $80 dollars.

And it's not even Special Edition. You're not getting anything special, or extra. No fun collectibles, no extra content. Nothing. $80 for a basic game.

In Holland (and I bet it's the same in most of Western Europe) you'd pay 70 (or 69 if you will) Euros for a new PS3 game. 69 euros is about $93.

So don't whine

It's hard to whine about something you don't want.

I'm just trying to fight the Console Wars.

I made a thread about me getting a ps3 and it was moved to the game forum, how come this one hasn't been moved?

There's like 800 cars in the game. If I bought a race car came and found out I could get 500 extra cars for $20, I'd be all over that.

That's your problem, it's not a sports team, it's an appliance.
