Mine will be delivered Friday sometime between 7am and 6pm!! Please let it be before noon...

Casino Royale ready to play, but no games yet!!! I thought I'd download everything available and make my mind up afterwards, but that said I am straying towards Resistance.

I cannot wait! Finally after such a long wait...

Very good idea; I'm glad I downloaded the Resistance demo because I hated it (too used to mouse and keyboard on the PC) and Motorstorm because I didn't think I would like it but the demo convinced me to buy. There are enough demos available to keep you busy for a while.

Enjoy. It will reveal itself more and more....so take a deep breath and take your time

Be careful getting it out of the box...really. It's heavy.

If your a decent gamer start with RFOM at least on medium if not hard .. depending on how good you thing you are

I'm exited about the launch of the ps3 in europe even though I live in the states. I can tell you that on the 16th of november, sony only had about 198,000 consoles available on launch day. The plan was to have 400,000 consoles available and then that number was cut in half to 200,000 which sony fell short of. The ps3 was selling on ebay at an average price of $2,000, retail price $600.00. Now the ps3 seems to be in stock. I wonder if Ken will be around. Sony did worse in Japan, barely selling 88,000, short of 100,000 consoles. I will say that sony tried so hard to meet demand for the ps3, but it has taken some time for the ps3 to be in stock. Best of luck to everyone in europe to get a ps3 on lauch day. Just don't be dispointed if you don't get one. If you are unable to get one on launch day, keep trying at your favorite store. Plenty of good games out, more then over here on launch day in the states. The price is well worth it. There's so much that you can do with the ps3, you'll like it. Makes a great blu-ray movie player.

I wonder how many the monthly totals will show. Considering Xbox announced a new version that'll suppress sales. That should make the PS3 trounce the Xbox for April at least and at least pull ahead for March.

The PS3 is sooooo worth the wait for you European guys/gals. I was very impressed with the PS3's build quality, once I picked it up and held in hand I was like "Wow, this isn't some cheap chunk of lightweight plastic" It's heavy. The sixaxis is basically the same as the dual shock,only lighter with a PS button in the middle,can't even tell the differance when holding them,the L2/R2 buttons are tad adjusted but how often do you use them? Still very comfortable to hold.Let us know how you like the system,I'm sure most of you will be happy with it,when you get it up and running,I'm sure you'll forget about it's long delay...lol

You have some great things to go along with the ps3. 1) Great games, more then we had in the state at launch time. 2) A firmware update to go with the ps3. Setup is a breeze on the ps3.

BluManta · 03-22-2007, 10:10 PM

Are we going to celebrate this amazing event here? Come on!!!!! But I think we should wave good bye to our wonderful ps2's that have given us 7 years of joy, happiness and fun. Lets let the time pass by telling each other some of our fav ps2 moments!

One of mine has to be the release of GTA SA. I got it the day it hit the shelves and I wasnt even old enough lol. The game was fantastic!

I got more but I will tell you once you start getting involved.
