    I could do a fairly major pc upgrade for that!

    As much as I want a PS3, that is a LOT of cash.

    549, i could get a WiiWii for less. Its always the same, start the price high, to get all the money in from the stupid people who are willing to pay that much. ><

    &#163;150 for the wii, which is actually a better console interms of "fun", which tbh is worth more than technology.
    U could get 3 wii plus a few games for the same price... plus Supersmash brothers is going to OWN

    i am thinking of getting one, but i think i will wait untill we have more facts and less rumours.

    but if the rumours of it running Red hat out of the box (not to play games) nativly, are true, then count me in, that cell processor is damn powerful!

    plus, from what i hear, it is much quieter than the 360's tornado like noise levels...

    and whats so good about the Wii anyhow... nothing, although, atleast nintendo have learnt this time and for once have added backwards compatability.

    Is release price actually gonna be fixed, or have play decided to put together a 'package and charge this for it????

    I thought it was gonna retail at about 399/449 for the console

    What!.. That's mad Play offering it up for sale already.. and then saying they cannot guarantee delivery within 6months of you handing over your cash!.. YOu'd have to be mad to pre-order one now..

    As said that is a mega expensive console, and they could of made the three games half-decent at least... Nah I'm perfectly content with my 360 currently.

    The PS3 is going to have to be mega impressive with a really strong game lineup to get my interest for that amount of money.

    Thee Wii actually looks/sounds like it's going to be Wii lee lot of fun (especially for the price..).

    Um...I think Play will only take the funds once it ships? Would be VERY wrong for them to CHARGE you the 500odd NOW?

    Then again, it is 'pre-ordering' but it's still very wrong for them to roll your 500quid for 6months hrm! LOL they should be giving you 3 games FREE

    "At that price, it better accelerate pr0n into the 22nd century!"

    "I know boss, let's design the worlds BEST console ever, and sell it at such a ridiculous price your average gamer would have to sell their kidneys to afford it. All we have to do is buy the kidneys and re-sell them at a much higher price and make a killing...literally!"
