Quick observations: No Heavenly Sword and no “bonus” (eg. Talladega Nights on Blu-ray) as yet. Yay for the system update though!
Not to take the discussion to the shotbox, but come on..? Nobody likes all games, its that simple. Some like the mother, other like the daughter 
Keep your "hate-articles" coming, Gary!

O man, this will get expensive…
60GB PS3 600€
Sixaxis 50€
HDMI Cable (need a HDMI -> Adapter too) +-25€
Motorstorm 70€ (just guessing game prices here)
hm… no other “nice” games here for me…
HS and whatnot (Lair) were delayed
So this goes for 745€ (incl. taxes and maybe shipping).
Ouch, this WILL hurt my wallet ^^
But it is a good time. This is term break in Germany (as many as about 50% of all Germanys Universities have holidays till +-20th of April ^^)

The Europeans are going to have the best system launch ever, that’s for sure !!!

The euro launch is looking to be awesome. The thought of getting resistance, virtua fighter 5, virtua tennis 3, and motorstom all at launch is really nice. Not to mention the firmware update, good things seem to be coming to those who wait.

Yea you guys seems to be getting a good launch with 3x the systems on day one. Meanwhile on this side of the pond we still have to wait for march for something new to play

I have a question, which one of those games are PS3 exclusive ?
January 25th, 2007 at 10:12 am
The top 4 definitely are. And so are the SCEE Network ones. Untold Legends. Uh… what else?
January 25th, 2007 at 10:16 am
The real question is: what’s in this March update?
