The most boring next-gen console launch. Ever.

I just had a peek at Gamestation's website, the place i mainly shop at when i buy new games on the rare occasion, and they have their PS3 combo pre-orders all over their site so i decided to have a look just for the hell of it. PS3 boring combo deals Now take a look at that, am i safe in saying that these are the most boring combos you have ever seen for the launch of a new console? Now i havnt looked anyplace else for these deals as i am not interested in buying a PS3 but i think its safe to assume that what with the high price of the PS3 and its lack of good games the above combo deals are probably being repeated every where. If i was a fool, or had waaaay too much money just burning a hole in my pocket then this is the combo i would go for: The fool's combo So that is a down specced PS3 over here because Sony sucks, with (what i would choose since these are the only good games the system has) Resistance and Motorstorm for half a grand! This is just crazy! Those two games are hardly worth shelling out half a grand for, especially when the system you are getting is more expensive than US and *** systems but less powerful or useful! I have never not wanted a PS3 so much right now... Not that i want another next-gen console since the 360 thus far has proved that it is the only true way to go this time around, but if i did i would rather buy a Wii than a PS3 right now (and thats REALLY saying something), especially at these prices and with these boring, dull games. I mean dont get me wrong Resistance and Motorstorm look good but not good enough to spend half a grand on! Just to put this into perspective for the US gamers who might read this, £500 is 979.791 USD. NINE HUNDRED AND SEVENTY NINE BUCKS! Yeah, let that sink in for a while.... I know i have said it before, and i know you have all heard it from other sources before but i will say it again and you will hear it again, Sony has REALLY screwed up their brand this time! Especially when you consider the fact that these combo pre-order deals havnt sold out yet which means that Sony has either done a fantastic job in supplying for demand (and pigs might fly), or people simply just dont want one. What it would take for them to get back on top and dominate the console market like they did last gen would take nothing less than a miracle at this point. That 360 purchase is looking like a better investment by the day!
