Playstation 3 to launch for $999 in Australia.

[solsovly]

The Legend of Zelda: Twilight Princess, Metroid Prime 3: Corruption, Dragon Quest Swords: The Masked Queen, Tower of Mirrors, Super Monkey Ball: Banana Blitz, Red Steel, and Rayman Raving Rabbits, Elebits, Tony Hawk’s Downhill Jam, Metal Slug Anthology, Trauma Center: Second Opinion, Marvel: Ultimate Alliance, Blitz: The League, SpongeBob SquarePants: Creature from the Krusty Krab, Disney/Pixar’s Cars, and Tecmo’s Super Swing Golf Pangya just to name the ones that are already announced.

Zelda, Metroid, Monkey Ball, and Metal Slug would satisfiy me.

They announced new enhanced controls for Metal Slug. I hope they give the option for classic and updated cause that would be <3. Also I have high hopes for Dragon Quest Swords.

edit for ROCL: both systems, Wii will have the benefit of the Wii controller.

i felt bad for lower class.

Already preordered my PS3.

FYI, buying a $2000 toaster doesn't make you 'upper class' it makes you fucking stupid.

Also, I always thought that the big money on consoles was the games not the systems themselves. If they are going to be charging $69+ per game, I don't see the justification on the inflated system price.

Who the hell was interested in investing cash for a return in this thread? There's no money to be made in games cept maybe Ebaying launch systems.

I suppose I skipped over a few things in my post...It's still too damn early in the morning for my brain to be doing any work. Money had little to do with it. My point is that I think people are foolish for purchasing any system at launch based on the potential of games that will be released in the next few years. I don't understand how somebody can state that they intend to buy a (Console X) because of (Game Y which isn't even out yet). Sure, all of the consoles have games that I'd be interested in playing too, but why bother putting up with a bunch of sub-par launch titles until the good stuff comes out? Is it to prove some kind of point, or to take some imaginary side in a console war that exists only in the mind of a bunch of internet fanboys?

If there really are some games launching with a system that you can't wait to play, good for you. Have fun. I just can't stand people who brag about the console they bought at launch/preordered like it's some kind of fancy sports car and we're all supposed to be impressed. It's like buying a Porsche and then talking about how awesome it's going to be once they come out with the new type of gas that will make it go faster.

I think that is what 70-80% of PS fans are going to do.

Nintendo is king, once again.

lol, all these flames on the ps3 price from people paying 5mil gil for HQ items where NQ costs 10k

it's not about how useful it is, it's about how wealthy you are and how you are willing to spend it... 11 out of the 14 bedrooms in my house are unoccupied, doesn't mean i'm not fuckin proud of myself for having this house 8)

[shihei]

I'd rather buy 2oz of some fine bud then PS3 for 1k dollars...
and... FF13?! huh?!

[SephYuyX]

Good for you, you have a large house, this adds nothing to the discussion. Maybe you can invite Jaryk to hang out at your 11 out of 14 empty bedrooms? I'm sure Sony synths machines all the time shitting out NQ PS2's at a loss and making profit on the PS3's. Kindly take your idiotic videogame to real life analogy and put it back where you found it.

Most of us can afford to buy the stupid machine but are outraged at the price and at Sony's attitude.

overpriced game console with virtually no appealing launch titles.

RIIIIDE RACEEEEER RIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIDGE RACER!!!

see, this is where i have trouble understanding some of you people who claim you are rich: if you can afford it, why are you mad? isn't it supposed to be that the people who can NOT afford it who get mad?

if that's not the case, then how do you spend all that billions of dollars you claim you can make "in a month more than what me or somebody else can make in a year"? wipe your golden butt with it?

Because its a waste of money.

Actually ive noticed that the people with lesser amounts of money, spend it more frequently than the people who have more (not jabillionaires).

Why would I pay for an overpriced POS when I can get a better less expensive item?

It's a waste in your eyes

1 mans trash is another mans treasure.

I'll treasure my ps3 when I get it eventually, like I'm sure most of the people here will.

I'm just a sucker for MGS

PS3 doesn't have online Smash Bros., why are you still arguing??
