did you get with the price cut? if not you screwed yourself....dreman999

I bought my PS3 on Friday last week, but I will go back to Best Buy for a price match when the price drops. You gotta love price matching policies where you can buy early in advance of a price drop and still get the discount later.

I'm actually considering purchasing a PS3 myself. I'll probably wait till the next price drop, however. By then, there should be a pretty stellar library, and the network might mature a bit. LittleBigPlanet, anyone?

My 360 has lasted me since day 1 of launch so i can only hope my PS3 is as reliable ;)

You're like the anti-fanboy. :shock:

That's a compliment by the way.

Thanks for all the good replies (and the bad aswell i suppose :P )

The 32D3000 accepts the 1080p signal, then downconverts it to the native resolution (or something like that, i'm not too tech savy) but there's definately a notable difference between 1080p and 1080i, so whatever its doing its doing it really well.

I did pay full price for the PS3, but in all honestly i'm really not bothered, i had the money, wanted the machine and i got it, it was also a good bundle (PS3 60gig, Motorstorm and Resistance 649 Euro).

I've played all the games a good bit now and these are my first impressions....

Motorstorm, lots of fun (even though i suck at it), some of the crashes literally leave me LOLing, just a shame there's no split screen multiplayer but the online is good enough to make up for that.

R:FoM, really didnt think i was gonna like this, the first level i was like "WTF, i'm nearly dead and there's no health pickups", of course then i got to the second mission after he gets infected by the chimera and it all came together. Really is the most solid shooter i've played on a Sony console to date, the Sixaxis dual analogues actually work quiet well with the game and i was well used to the controls within about 10minutes. Havnt tried the online yet, but will later on.

NG:S, its amazing what they've done with the game, i have played NG alot in the past so its not like i'm new to the series. The gameplay feels faster which i found really wierd at first, but it does make the game better. Just got through my first Rachel mission and i'm loving it, she's harder to manouver than Ryu but she packs one hell of a punch.

GT:HD, now for my only dissapointment with the PS3, first off it took about 2 hours to download then another 5 minutes to install :evil: , (luckily there's background dl'ing). I've been here for and a part of the GT vs. Forza debates, and i've heard many a person say GT:HD blows away Forza in the graphics department, and i have to say i'm really not seeing it, the car models are beautiful but the environments are horrible IMO, the best bit of it is the HDR coming over the mountain tops when you leave the tunnel. I know its just GT4 in HD (environments anyway) so i'm dont expect GT5 to have the poor environments that GT:HD has.

[QUOTE="Snugenz"]

Got my PS3 today aswell as a Bravia 32inch HDTV (KDL-32D3000-1080p) and i have to say i'm loving it, only got to play NGS so far, but it really is amazing how well it looks (even though i havnt configured the TV yet).

Only problems so far was with HDMI, when i first booted up the console, my TV wouldnt recognize the HDMI input from the PS3, but the 1.82 patch sorted that out just fine. Oh and the update.....how can something take that long, was the update a few gigs ?? :lol:

No BluRay movies just yet, so i've no idea how thats gonna look but i'd imagine its gonna be pretty awesome.

So onto my question, what exactly does the 1.82 patch do ?

Anyway i'll see some of you on Resistance in a few ;)

PS: I've also tried out a few 360 games on the new TV, with Forza you really have to look hard to see any jaggies at all, Gears looks even better that it did on my monitor, (i really didnt think that was possible) :D

Dude, configure your tv first THEN play your PS3 or 360. It took me damn near 2 months to finally configure my tv the way I wanted it. Congratulations on your new purchase. ;)

And my setup is...


Nice is that the 40" ?, cos i think we've the exact same TV and Dvd/Surround system as you in the living room, also an excellent TV ;)

I almost got a samsung, but sony and the sharp aqua line got better reviews according to consumer reports. The samsung got solid reviews, but the sharp line was like the best one for the 40-42 inch lcds. I ended up getting a sharp aqua 42 inch lcd 1080p.
