Yeah it was, it had nothing inside the unit, was just a display case for E3 2005, Sony forgot they needed vents and a PSU ;)

the black one doesnt look bigger than the xbox to me. width and height wise. ok its not as sexy as the silver one but hey as long as it gets the job done ;-) but yeah i dont know why theyre ripping off the european market so badly. out here in canada its going to be retailing for $650CAD (or £320, €470) as opposed to £450/€599 which is what theyre charging there.

Problem is, that maybe 2 years too late :-o

Yeah unfortunately every company sees Europe as easy pickings, and easy place to rip people off :(

Well let's be honest, Europe is a huge gamers market, I mean, we're all from all over the place, but I think it's fair to say that Europe has the highest majority of gamers overall, so why shouldn't Sony target us?

Discrimination really but oh well ;)

I don't know, Microsoft don't seem to have treated Europe all that badly.

how much will be the Wiiiiiiiii over there? I think it's somewhere around US$229,00 (but add 7.5% tax to the price) but I don't know in Europe.

Microsoft are actually surprisingly nice to Europe. I think their logic is that if they keep everything at a reasonable price, we'll stick with them in terms of the Xbox, and all their million-and-one software packages + operating systems, but if it's @#$%&, it aint bought ;)

i would choose the playstation 3. firstly, it had a whopping 140 frames a SEC.secondly a motion senser in the controller. that means if u r driving a car in a came and u turn the controller to the right, the car will turn right. and finally overall if u r a car guru u would want to choose playstation 3 because to has gran turismo and XBOX won't.


p.s. sorry if i repeated things over from other replies cause i didn't read all pages b4 typing)

PS3 won't have PGR3 or Forza 2 either :)

Dunno bout Gran Turismo, was let down massively with GT4 :( GFX were great but it was just so boring! Who would wanna do a 24 hour Le Mans race with just 6 cars?!

140FPS a sec, this gets into the common argument with PC's that you can't really notice any difference between 60 and 200fps, as the TV and human eyes can't see that fast anyway... Don't know the whole argument tho :)
