*sigh*

Here we go again. I guess we'll be seeing more charts and graphs proving how biased GS is against the PS3 in a week.

It's always the same, unless a game scores higher than 9 then the reviewer obvious is biased against the console he's reviewing for. Remember the days when a 7/10 was considered a good score? I do, I sure miss them. This entire generation has been nothing but mindless bickering over visuals and review scores.

Funny how many times Sony fans have said Sony has learned their lesson about expensive prices because of the PS3.CanYouDiglt
How is that funny? The Vita could of been a lot more expensive.

[QUOTE="MushroomWig"][QUOTE="Dibdibdobdobo"] And yet it still seems a better deal. PS3 can at least play Blu-Ray Movies and have other functions apart from gaming and also has a strong line up of games already released and still has strong support from developers with games still in the pipeline.

Sure but you're comparing a home console to a handheld, it just depends on what you're after. You can't take the PS3 out with you so that's where the Vita comes in.

I don't think the market consisting of people using handhelds for their portability is very big. I'd guess it's maybe a tenth or twentieth of the total handheld audience who actually buy one for that reason? I think that strategy is a disaster.

Most pre-orders have sold out, it can't be that much of a disaster.

[QUOTE="MushroomWig"]£5.82? Er no, the UK minimum wage is £6.08._Matt_

why do you think i said "is like", I never said "IT IS" . I've just been made redundant of my last job in September so i wouldnt have a pay slip for October.

It equates to 243 pound. Still roughly works out one weeks wage when you include Tax.

minimum wage is smaller than that here in the UK isn't it? I know a few people getting around £5.80 an hour or possibly less.

It depends on age, £6.08 is for people over 20.

[QUOTE="ccagracing"]You can buy a 160GB PS3 with Fifa 12 and LBP 2 for £199 at Sainsburys.

Yeah, it's going to be cheaper obviously because it's nearly 6 years old. That still doesn't change the fact that £229 isn't a great deal of money for a near-ps3 quality handheld.

[QUOTE="MushroomWig"] £230 is not an arm and a leg, that's not even a weeks salary for most people in the UK. For something that'll last people 5-6 years, it's well worth it.

You are joking right? The average salary in the UK has gone downwards while inflation has risen astronomically. Minimium wage in the UK is like £5.82 a hour which most companies try and pay you these days while 2 / 3 years ago i could get £6.50 / £7.50 a hour at the same jobs. Now times that by 40 hours per week which is roughly a fulltime job which equals £232.

Yes you can afford one if you dont eat or drink or even pay bills.

thats before TAX and national insurance, take home is a lot less, your take home would be about 180-190 tops depending on tax bracket.

*checks wage slip* £245 after tax, that's my weekly wage. I don't even have a well paid job but I don't know anyone earning as little as £180 a week.
