I read a lot about this, about its actually supposed to be a successful system. Every article written on it, claims it'll place third in sales. I'm glad they gave honest reviews.

How come the controller thing looks like a tv remote? It looks hard to control if it's like that.

i played ultra 64 in 96 when it first came out. Right from the beginning, nintendo was targeting the same little kids they target with their handhelds. Look at the DS, its not new technology, its just a re-release of the ultra 64 but handheld form. Great idea... remake the games that failed in sales, but for a handheld and call it new!

I think im going to get one. Its affordable and something unique. I know none of my friends are going to be able to afford a PS3, and since the only gaming I enjoy is online the PS3 will be no fun at all. The controller is motion activated, there's a few articles on it. For example, if your playing a samurai game and want to swing the sword, you just swing the controller. They also have many other plug-in's and accessories for the controller to make it functional for all games, including the console standard game pad.

$300 is $300 away form haveing a ps3, a A coputer generated entertainment center! I garentie you if you buy it, then you'll have to slap your slef in the face when 2 months later its worth $179.99 and the ps3 is out and you know that if you would have just saved a bit longer you could of had the best.

Do you own a Nintendo Wii? I mean granted the Playstation 3 will be great, but seeing you own neither how can you already judge them when neither console has even been released. Your also missing the fact the Wii is WAY more intuitive, and costs less then half of the cost of the PS3. I know why Im getting a Wii, it's because if any of my friends have a PS3 I guarentee most of them won't, and playing by yourself isn't much fun in my opinion.

Make your frinds get a job, thoze lazy bumbs! I gess do what ever you want, for all i know the wi fie thing might be bigger then the ps3, but remember when the 360 was coming out, every one said it was to expensive, but it seems to be the hot thing to do? Well Gran Turismo 5 will be on the ps3, as well as gta, so thats reason enough to buy it for me.

You should have seen the one on my old Calecovision Made it hard to play Frogger...

I'm waiting on the PS3, until springtime. I honestly wish it didn't take so long to port game's to the PC, I'd never buy another system again if they'd all release at once.

well see that's the thing, I don't know if you are an adult or a kid but it seems like the $600 for the PS3 doesn't mean much to you. Whereas to some of the kids on this site $600 is like 3 years allowance!

Yes they have, however they have declared that instead of sticking to those types of games they are just going to go with whats the most popular.
