I'd rather buy an import PS3 as some people are getting these for close to £320. Need to find a reliable source first, preferably one that can avoid import tax.
Yeah but you are paying £145 more for the PS3 in comparison to the 360 so it's not really any different. It's not like Sony are giving you more for the same cash, you are paying for it.
It's definately worth buying the 360 now rather than waiting. Most people who have alread imported a PS3 report that for gaming it is offering nothing better than the 360. The PS3 currently lacks the great online gaming experience you can get with the 360 and instead offers a very limited...
I like it. It's far nicer than the pics of the Type R with the new Civic shape. Hopefully they've ditched that version as it was ugly.

That really is piss poor service and had I still worked at Sky I would have arranged for another engineer to attend and correct the crap workmanship of the original install. Compensation should also be offered.
It'll cost you around £400 to import a 60gb console to the UK (£90 max import charges), if you travel light you'll fit it into a case without any problems.
For now all games from any region should work although this may well change. You will be restricted to BR dvd's from the US.
It's also possible that online games may soon sense which country your PS3 hardware was intended for and only allow you to connect to the gaming servers of that country...
After saying I'd never buy the PS3 I have changed my mind because I really want to play F1 and GT HD. Hopefully the March 23rd release date proves to be true.
I think the window for this may be closing, Game have had stock available for the last 10 minutes whereas this time last week stock would be sold within 2 minutes max.
It was a good fun console but I don't think it'd drag me away from my online gaming on the 360. I don't have alot of free time for gaming and when I do that would be my first choice. I'll maybe buy again later this year when Nintendo hopefully introduce online gaming to the Wii.
