I really want to get a PS3 but its just too expensive $600 is unreasonable just to play games. PC's cost that much and can do way more.
However, I wanna switch from Windows to Linux now since Windows won't be supporting the Cell Processor. That thing is way too cool to pass up. It will make my 3d modelling and rendering so much faster, and with a PS3 I can add another functionality to the PS3. Rendering a 2 million poly scene.
Originally posted by Suave There are only 400,000 PS3's available at release. The Wii has 1 million copies available at release, more than double that of the PS3. The Nintendo Wii sold out in most stores within the first hour of opening. ... Good luck trying to get a PS3.
I just read that they changed it to 2 million for release.
Anyway at first I wasn't much of a Wii fan but it is starting to grow on me. Like others have said $600 just to get the console (blu-ray or not) is just too much. For that you can get a decent PC to make a dedicated gaming box. I am not sure if I will be getting a Wii preordered, most likely will not but I do think they are the better deal. As much as I liked the first two PS boxes, I have a weird feeling that Sony let MS trip them up too much and thus are going to release a system that we will find out was mostly vaporware.
