Hmm.

I've been waiting for the PS3 to come out, but that's quite a lot of money. And, in my book, no PS is worth having until there's a version of Gran Turismo to play on it.

Think I'll leave it for a bit longer, then...

Cheers,

Gaz

Gran Turismo HD Concept is avilable to download already.

I played my on my friend's PS3 he brought over from the US a few weeks back. Truly impressive bit of kit.

I'll be getting one, though for me the killer app is the next release of Grand Theft Auto.

When it works - I played it in the US at the beginning of December!!

Out of 4 stores ( EB, 2 xBest Buy, Circuit City) - 2 of them had powered the down - as they crash so often - and one of them was crashed without reboot possible.... and the one I did play on I had to reboot myself!!

Great graphics, physically looks nice - but no way it is worth £425... especially with the bugs at present... I will wait until they come down in price with less bugs...

The Wii is keeping our household interested still a month on...!

Howdy guys,

One of our esteemed members is a project manager at SCEE working on the launch here in Europe - he's been updating me a lot on what's going on.

The piece of kit, and games that you get here are not the same as the US. A lot of the issues will have been addressed.

I'm not going to buy one either just yet... Got a Wii that is keeping more than occupied! and I STILL haven't ordered WarioWare!

Might pre-order a PS3 to resell on eBay though... if its really as much a hit as they would want you to believe...

I am contemplating a 360 though... Halo2 is pretty good!

I'm with Rose Chap. I'll buy one in October, for GTA. :bannana:

That's funny because we've been running them for months and not had any problems...
