2JG Posted March 21, 2007 Share Posted March 21, 2007 I'm not getting one at the moment but my friend takes delivery of his on Friday. We plan to have a whole weekend of ps3 as his wife is away. Can't help but think that he made sure he packed her off for when it was released Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
R3DG3CKO ROB Posted March 21, 2007 Share Posted March 21, 2007 Was a toss up between the PS3 and the Trial rear Friend of a friend has got a jap import and says it's fantastic... even my Lodger said it was good and he's a die hard 360 nut... I'm gonna get one in time for GTA4 in October (hopefully) p.s. nice looking TV Andy is that a 32? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Pete Posted March 21, 2007 Share Posted March 21, 2007 I'll wait until the fuss is over. I'm feely sorely treated by Sony with being the last people in the world to get it, paying the most, and having less chips in it to add insult to injury.

Andy Supra Posted March 21, 2007 Author Share Posted March 21, 2007 Yep 32" Samsung Samsung LE32N74BDX. All I could find in the UK was the 'N73' models and cheapest I could source was £699.99 with most expensive being £999.99 None the less went to 'Costco' American warehouse and picked it up for £499.99!!! bargain considering it's newer model than I could find in the shops Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

loks Posted March 22, 2007 Share Posted March 22, 2007 Had my PS3 for over a month now Finished Resistance Fall of Man and nearly half way (I think) through Ridge Racer You must have a HDTV - the graphics are simply stunning and what I've seen of the Blu-ray stuff Using the wireless controller is but while you are charging it up you have to have the USB lead plug in, which is very frustrating when some sodding alien is chomping at you and the only way to release him is to shake the controller - USB lead comes out and you can only watch yourself get eaten.... Have fun on Friday Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Angarak Posted March 22, 2007 Share Posted March 22, 2007 Not trying to dampen the mood, but isnt the UK spec one a lesser spec than the US/Jap ones....sure I heard that on the news within the last month. I have a mate who tests games for a living (jammy sod) and he said the PS3 is the best thing since sliced bread and hookers...but you must play it on a HDTV to get the most from it (as mentioned earlier).

Andy Supra Posted March 22, 2007 Author Share Posted March 22, 2007 I thought the UK Spec had more than the US/Jap ones? ie. Blueray? maybe i'm wrong I dunno? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Angarak Posted March 22, 2007 Share Posted March 22, 2007 Well, Originally I was told that the Jap ones had a lesser spec (no blue ray) and therefore it would be sillly to import one, but someone on here with a contact @ sony (i think) said they did. However, Im pretty sure it was on a news channel recently that the UK one would be a lesser spec than others. Taking the mickey really since UK customers will no doubt be paying more for less.

Angarak Posted March 22, 2007 Share Posted March 22, 2007 Aha - here it is: http://news.bbc.co.uk/1/hi/technology/6390657.stm The Euro spec PS3 will not be able to play as many older games as Jap/US ones. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

[qimg]http://i44.photobucket.com/albums/f9/andyibiza/newtv.jpg[/qimg] I've sorted the cables all out now and my 19" Monitor looks tiny Your effort has inspired me, today I've cleaned up the wiring and set up for my 'entertainment' area too See attached photo for the following all set up to run through the 32" LG screen... 1. PC 2. Broadband NowTV tuner 3. Philippines cable tuner 4. DVD/VHS player 5. Playstation 3 6. Playstation 2 I find it hard to leave the sofa now Thanks for the inspiration, as I've been meaning to do this for some time now Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

DaveK Posted March 22, 2007 Share Posted March 22, 2007 I will almost certainly get one but possibly not straight away. Depends - if I'm bored one weekend, I'll pick one up but otherwise I'll wait for a few more games to appear. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
