the ps3 just went up $50 in all walmarts in south western ontario last week, how has this not been a huge deal on the boardUnknownmuncher


I think people realize they dont need to beat the ps3 down anymore.  Sony is doing a fine job of that all by themselves.

but youre right..  I was expecting people to be up in arms about all this.  Moreover, there was no official announcement (as far as I know)   they just upped the price.

You Americans are sutch whiners, A ps3 costs 600USD in the U.S . The ps3 is GOING to cost 650e here in finland which is roughly ~840USD STOP WHINING but for an adult who goes to work each day 600e (normal price within the EU) isnt really that much. Oh and the xbox is ~536USD.-Reggaeton-


currency exchanges aside...  I cant reasonably say that 700$ cdn is worth it for a video game system.  

That is the complaint people make.   And its a complaint they have the right to make.  sounds to me like europeans are just whining about having a higher pricetag overseas. much like us north americans...     hypo what>   hypocrite?

[QUOTE="Sir_Graham"]How amazing and does the competition provide better games in this alternative timeline?tubbyc

How the competition stacks up will be more and more subjective as the PS3 gets more good games. Regardless of competition, you know how some games come along where you just go - man, I would love to play that game. Or it could be 5 or more games like that. There could be a situation where you feel like you are missing out and it could be that way for a long time if you intended to wait for a price drop. So I'm wondering how many people think that at some point they might just say - well, I've got some spare money saved up, you only live once, what the hell I'm going to enjoy it.



most reasonable people will say..  well..  ive got some money saved up...  let me..  pay off my debts....   let me ...  eat this week..  hows about I...    put more money into my rrsps....

but putting that money towards a bluray player, and the "potential" of what the ps3 can truly be.... naw...   theyll have to do better than HD capabilities I dont need and games that wont be released for 2 years.

so....Im a "true gamer"  and I only own a wii.....    so...  what.  am I lying?

no.  in fact, the wii is completely suitable to be a "true gamers" only next gen system. in fact its far more powerful than most anyone gives it credit for.

Maybe ill invest in a 360 somewhere down the road..  or maybe ill finally pick up a ps2 so I can play my old playstation games..  and the few titles that I missed.

But then again maybe not, cus as it stands now, my wii , (and admitedly my DS and NES) keep my video game needs fed, graphically, control scheme wise, for classic games and some hadheld diversions as well.

Metroid Prime 3 is not an FPS. The Metroid series is all about the single player experience.Wintry_Flutist


not an fps?  so its not first person....  and theres no shooting in the game.....  so..  what game was I looking at?

It may be about the single player experience, but that doesnt mean there wont be any online multiplayer..  MP:H anyone?



and really...  Id like for devs to get a grip on making a great fps for the wii....    give me online when you know how to work the controls properly.

honestly if anyone is concerned about their wii they should really contact customer support and have it looked at.  it only takes 2 weeks to get it back from the time you ship it and they wont harm any of your saves or memory.  

Its best to make sure everything works fine right away....    cus otherwise youre just setting yourself up to pay for repairs when you realize its messed up and the warranty is expired.

My girlfriend hates Wii Sports, got bored with Guitar Hero, likes Karaoke Revolution, thinks Gears is too bloody, but downloads porn and watches Quentin Tarantino movies. Go figure.

1.  dumb question....    it matters not if shes female....    it matters what kind of games she likes....  I know girls who cant stand wii sports..  I know others that have fallen in love with it.

2.  yes, many reasons, including weather, news internet channel, system updates, there may always be retro games you missed, communication, and so when there are online games, you arent scrambling to find the adapter or running out to buy a new router.

Don't be silly. Sony can't afford to make another console in the next 5 years let alone 3. And they said they will not even THINK about making another machine until 2012.Riviera_Phantom


ok.  well thats a lie,  obviously theyre thinking about it..  working on it..     But given sonys track record of making ridonkulous claims then failing to back them up..   i see the new PS machine in...  ooh....2010-2011
