A site about games and game paraphernalia and how nothing's as good as we remember it, probably because we used to inhabit a FANTASY WORLD.

It came with the template. Maybe in 2014 we'll jump on board the Twitter train and put that in here. Or a radio. That'd be nice.

They're offering six different packages ranging from £464 to £624. The bundles are terrible, one actually includes Sonic the Hedgehog. God, imagine thos blu-ray loading times on THAT.
Also, one per household. That's good then, I wouldn't want more than one over priced peice of crap in my house. Which is why I don't own a PSP either.
Our store is really small, so ten days ago we were told we had a target of 50 pre-order deposits (of £50), i.e; the number our regional manager reasonably expects us to attain. We've taken 21 in ten days. In the last three days, we've taken one.
They're going incredibly slowly in other words, and we're the 5th best store in our region for PS3 deposits, out of 31. In other words, the majority of other stores are EVEN FURTHER OFF target than we are.
Price seems to be the sticking-point with the majority of consumers, but yea - frankly, our deposits alone are selling at half the pace we expected.
We are the 3rd biggest store in the country and the main store in our reigon ... Not looking good im afraid ( and thats at a £425 Pre order ! )
It then had a comaprison between the PS3 and XB360; detailing how the PS3 has a tilt sensing control pad besting the XB360's regular wireless control pad. It also stated that the PS3 has a built in Blu-Ray drive whereas with the 360 you have to fork out extra for an HD drive, and that you have to pay to use XBLive but not to use the PS3s online network.
It also neglected to mention the X Box Live arcade and made a point that the PS3 has a bigger hard drive than the XB360.
Needless to say they didn't give much attention to the ridiculous price tag, rubbish games, crap online features, gimmick control pad with no rumble or enourmous physical size.
It made me sick.
I think I'm in there.

Ace!
GAME management must be morons. They should want people to buy all the systems. Trying to make the 360 out to be inferior, is crazy!
I'd just say: " Latest Playstation Console " ... No price, no bullshit, that's what people appreciate.
The public want to see Metal Gear, Resident Evil, Devil May Cry, GTA etc....
Why pay £450 for a machine with no stand-out games? People are just being patient. The PS3 will take off by the end of the year, and the price will probably be £299 by then.
