I was bored enough to head to Parramatta last night for the launch. Inside Westfield these stores were open -

* Toys R Us
* EB Lvl3
* EB Lvl5
* Games Wizards

Overall the turnout was lame for all of them, Games Wizards being the worst with around 5 people. Oh well hopefully if this pattern follows suit I'll get a C-Royale BD

From what I can tell, most people love it, but are just annoyed about the lack of supplied cables.

Just came back from JB @ Castle Hill - they've got an unreal setup with a section mark off just for a single PS3 cased in a perspex box and a huge 50" or so pure HDTV with F1 Champ. running - looked great

They're selling PS2/USB converters @ JB Hifi for around $25 [in case you have PS2 controllers lying around]

If you have something to contribute to the conversation, I don't care. But if you have created a profile just so you can go on here and say "it sucks" then you must be a complete tool.

People at other mysites are talking **** about the PS3, I DON"T CARE! Do it at your website not here. Personally I'm getting fed up.

If you don't like the PS3, LEAVE, why did you even come here in the first place?



Gee dont take it so personal, it was a bit of fun.
I joined on mywii.com.au a while ago and you can post in any of the other sites.

I guess my post was to vent after the Sony marketing vomit I heard on the radio. This was along the lines of the original PS2 was powerful enough to control a missile and the new PS3 is 30 times more powerful... I am sorry I had to pull over and be sick.

For the last few years I have heard nothing but hype on how much better the PS3 is better than the Xbox 360. I have yet to see anything that proves it. Similar to the hype on how much better the PS2 would be than the Dreamcast.

Anyhow enjoy your new console...

Exactly. I can't justify paying an extra $400 or so to get a PS3 of a 360, when the core level of gaming is practically identical.
