We recieved some new PS3 Dev Kits this week, there's still one revision on those to go, so that gives you an idea how far off final silicon is!!

Can you actually walk into a shop and pick up an xbox360(and not as part of some £800 package) yet?

 

[Lee]

english lee? lol

Developers don't have the final hardware yet, so getting it finished and in the shops for Novembers is optimistic.

Yeah, you can get a 360 easily now.

Spoke to a sony rep and this isn't certain but he said either Q4 or Q1 2007 :S also said the price is going to be more expensive than anticipated due to the PS3 having the blue ray drive in (which may possibly replace DVD's) and they are going to cost ££££'s still going to buy one thoughe :approve:

^ Also don't forget that they are releasing a 60GB HD. Which as of yet they haven't said will be bundled together with the PS3 or not.

I think it will cost around £450 - £500. Far to much money in my opinion.
And for all those people who bought more than 1 Xbox 360 to sell on ebay for twice of what they paid. Sony have said that they "aim" to distribute over 1 million units each month to cope with the demand...

Microsoft also made such claims. The PS2 ran out of stock at xmas time a few years after launch. Games developers are now saying there's "nothing in it" imbetween PS3 and Xbox 360. The PS3 stats look better, but the 360's true ability is not demonstrated by stats due to its multi layer chips.

I have a 360, and will get a PS3 too. However in all honesty I'm more exited about the Revolution. Nintendo forgot more about making games then Sony and Microsoft ever knew.

Get your pre orders in for Christmas! and get your ebay acounts ready lol

I can't wait that long. Just bought an Xbox 360. TBH I hate it. Complete pile of mince. GRAW is jumpy and PGR3 is for kids.

Going to phone Game and see about a refund. What do you reckon the chances are? Only bought it yesterday.
