all I can say is it MUST be better than the 360 now with all the delay's and bull fully rendered so called ingame shots. If not then the backlash will be huge.
Even at this rate some analysts say it will be 2010 before Sony catch up in sales.

Sony appear to have gone very, very quiet. If they don't release pricing and package details at E3 then I'd say they're in big trouble and won't make a 2006 launch. All IMHO, of course.

I'll probably get a Weeeee, sorry, Wii to tide me over
Strangely, for someone that likes games, I don't miss not having a 360 at all. Maybe growing up is finally hitting me

Maybe its all part of their grand plan, companies these days seem to use 'viral' marketing to spread the word and they are creating lots of anticipation. They are still the dominant player in the market, they still sell bucket loads of PS2s and the PS2 has always outsold the xbox by a significant margin but agreed they need to get things moving.

I sure hope they release it this year otherwise I may get gaming apathy again and not bother with the PS3 either
What we need now is a 4th player to come into the market completely out the blue and surprise Sony, MS and Nintendo and make them realise their complacency. I know these things take time to get to market, but maybe they should have just kept their gob shut earlier and start leaking the information when it was almost ready.

Also the PS2 managed to sell out, what 4 1/2 years after launch? You couldn't get hold of them when GT4 came out...

Hopefully we should know the pricing and release titles after E3, and then we can form a better opinion as to whether it's worth getting one or not. At the moment I'm not interested, and I'm a sucker for a new gadget!!

You'll cant blame last years shortages on the Fanboys - what kind of fanboy doesnt buy a PS2 until over 4 years after launch
I'll be getting a PS3 - the amount of headaches my 360 has given me have really left me with a bitter taste in my mouth - its only the clan games on GRAW that have stopped it being ebay'ed by now...

Fair enough. I've had problems with my 360 as well, but it hasn't stopped me from wanting to use it. It's just come back from MS after getting the 3 red lights, but it only took them about 4 days to sort it out. Just a shame I lost all my save data (and I was up to level 17 on Oblivion - back down to level 2 now).
I've used the 360 much more than I've used any other console I've owned. It's great (when it's working )

I'm not slagging Sony (I'm a PS and PS2 owner) but come on, they are never going to make a November 2006 launch in Japan or on Mars.

I have faith...
I would have thought the demo's have been running on the dev kits - although I've no idea what that MGS4 demo was running on but it was rather impressive.
IIRC the PS2 was launched in Japan in March, and a finished console was only unveiled a month before - that'll be why they were so hard to get hold of, so they've still got plenty of time but I dont think we'll get the worldwide release as promised, it'd be great but I dont see it coming off - and I be its Europe that has to wait that little bit longer. But I still reckon we'll get it before Christmas...
