Some UK opinions of the 40G PS3

[wemysst2]

I'm here in ireland. I have already posted some comments critising ps3 and their price point. We have the euro and the ps3 40gb is 400 euro with no games as of yet while the 360 is 350 with two games. And there is a couple of points

The PS3 does not come with HDMI cables (which I think is a discrace when it is intended to be played on a HDTV. No one ever mentions this but i think it is relevent, they cost about 40 euros.

The 360 does not come with a hddvd player thing, while the ps3 comes with a blue ray. So that is certainly a point for the ps3.

The two games that the 360 comes with save you about 120 euro on buying games as well which is a plus for the 360.

So in summary, it seems to me anyway, if you want something to watch HD movies on the ps3 is the way to go. But if it is about games the 360 in terms of library and price, does seem to be the way to go at least at the moment.

On the point of trying to push consoles. the shops here are trying to push ps3 like mad. I think that they get a bigger mark up or something. But the wii seems to be the console that everybody has on their lips and is talking about. I have a wii and will probably get a 360 to play grand theft auto early next year. (I'll be a wii60 head :0)
