Too many games with "some issues" for my liking.....

isn't it interesting that having just been out all the shops are still offering "pre order" even though only a couple of days to go !

Sony have c*cked up big time so I'm going to hang on a bit as discounts and fixes will no doubt follow soon

I'm waiting for the new 360 now. Pick one of them up first, and then wait a year or two for the PS3s to drop and have a back catalogue to pick up out of the 2nd hand bins Helps being a cheapskate

Issues with Gran Turismo 3 & 4, noticable issues with the Singstar collection and no mention of Guitar Hero.... not looking good. I guess my PS2 will survive a bit longer alongside my 360.

I think the best options are to hang onto your PS2 until some decent games come out for the PS3 or the price comes down. or buy a 360.

Pretty inexcusable really, there shouldn't even be a list because it should certainly be able to play all PS2 games.
