    I want to get a Wii eventually. PS3 will be too expensive I think since I have an xbox 360.

    I've got a PS3 on pre order. $999.00 (AU) with a free controller and game of my choice.

    Not sure yet, we'll see whats released come February - March, at this stage though, I'm thinking maybe "Just Cause 2", as its meant to be released in the next couple of months.

    But im not 100% sure on anything.

    Umm...are you sure it's not Just Cause you're waiting for...cause that was just released back in September or so. I highly doubt Just Cause 2 would come out that quickly after.

    As for me, I'll be getting both, but a Wii first I think. I'm going to try and land a Wii by New Years, that way I can get the new Zelda game, which I've been anxiously waiting a couple years for it now.

    I am going to the States on the 24th, if I can get a PS3 when I am there I will get one (though I have about a 1% chance I think).

    If not I will wait awhile until the price drops down under, I can wait, Metal Gear 4 won't be put for awhile yet and I got plenty of PS2 games to finish.

    400,000 units only for North America. I also go on a Buy/Sell forum and the people there have pre-ordered multiple units. All planning to sell them on eBay for $1200+. The XBox 360 was sold online for $1000 or so by scalpers when it was released, and the shortage for PS3s will be even bigger. Good luck getting one.

    Wii's also sound like they'll be sold out. Pre-order while you can.

    Good luck with that too. Most video game stores around me have 10 or so coming in each and they were all out within a day. Rogers Video (Blockbuster competitor here in Canada) had a pre-order online for both PS3 models and the Wii and pre-orders were all gone within 20 minutes.

    Would actually be better to line up outside a Wal-Mart or something and pick it up the day it drops. Kinda late for pre-orders anyways.

    I'm not getting one for myself during launch. I just got a PSP so I should be set, and it's too expensive. I'll wait till the 360 has a price-drop then buy it. The PS3 can come later. I was smitten over PS3 myself but it's been underwhelming, and the price is scary.

    I heard that eBay will not allow the PS3 to be sold on their site, so I hope your friends enjoy those extra PS3's. I also heard that many pre-orderers will not be getting their PS3.

    Even if eBay won't work, there's still plenty other avenues. Craiglist is a big one. Also, we're talking about people on a Buy/Sell forum with 1500 users on at any time that specifically caters to the Toronto region. Think interest will be low?

    Why would I be waiting for a game thats already been released? [​IMG] lol.

    I just read some where that Just Cause 2 is being released in the near future, when that is I'm not sure, but I heard around the time PS3 is being released here.

    Doesnt make sense considering the first was just released I don't think they could make a game in 5 months.

    It maybe the PS3 version of Just Cause being released.

    I'm going to wait a year after the PS3 comes out to get it. The price will be around ?120($240ish) cheaper. So that means I won't get it until early 2008.

    Won't go down that fast man. The XBox 360 has been out for a year now and won't see its first price drop until next year. At most, it'll be a $100 drop.

    In England it does. The original price is about ?400($800ish). So it goes down by the appropriate ratio.
