I like the specs of the Premium package.
I have a XBOX Mk1 and haven't bothered to update because it doesn't matter how good the specs are (I reckon the XBOX kills the PS2, all day everyday), unfortunately it's the quality of the GAMES that matters.
The Gran Turismo and WRC series are unmatched by XBOX IMO and I'll always be a slightly disappointed XBOX owner for that reason.
I'll wait and see how the PS3 vs XBOX 360 battle plays out in terms of who has the best car racing games - I don't get into RPG's much.

well, this delay is for Europe only according to the article but "Hardly Normal", er, I mean "Harvey Norman" are usually fairly reliable but their date will only be based on the latest date given by Sony for Aussie release

This really is a pain, as usual Europe again misses out, in the past we would get consoles up to a year later, to top it off, borders top and bottom of screen were the norm as well as a 15% reduction in speed due to ntsc/pal differences. With the advent of HD that should be a thing of the past
also just announced that the ps3 will not ship with an HDMI cable ( I can live with that)
ps3 european website is now up and running , link via the ps2 site |

Gotta say, whent he original Playstation cam eout, I was a hooked fan ever since... But this is just pushing it too far! This will amke it a year late if you count the orginal release date of March 06. I've always been loyal to Playstation, but they're losing me if not lost me, if there isn't aprice reduction, included HDMI cable's etc to tempt me for next march, then I will buy an XBOX360 and to hell with Sony, I've got ym PS2!
Absolutly pathetic
Cheers

I know I just had a rant, but I just look at trailers and remind myself how good it will be... or am I just a victim of marketing... I don't want to buya console that is limited to DVD's for games and HD-DVD for movies only, the PS3 uses Blu-Ray for games and movies... so what if the graphics are only slightly to alot better, they'll be bigger with any luck....
Oh I don't know anymore...
But I expect a price-drop at least, plus a HDMI cable...
Cheers

uhhh....yes. but then so are we all, since nothing is ever really as good as the ad makes out.
i have one problem with bluray games - given all that extra space they have to fill, and all the necessary extra development, programming and animation, artwork, etc., how much more are the suckers gonna cost?
