I'm getting a PS3 for Christmas (yes, I do feel like a kid ), and just wondering if there's anyone on here that already has one?

Yeah I got one of the 60GB ones before they sold out (although it seems some places still have them).

I did spend quite a while weighing up between the PS3 and the Xbox 360. But I've always had Playstations, and given the possible reliability issues with the 360 I stuck to Sony, and haven't regretted it.

It looks great, easy to setup and get online, the Playstation Store has a relatively good range of downloads and there's the added bonus of the Blu-Ray player.

To be honest I'm not hugely thrilled with the choice of games currently. However I'm waiting for GT5 and GTA IV which should make it more worthwhile.

Yeh, I just managed to get a 60GB one too! Luckily I'd read on the internet that they'd been discontinued and noticed they were sold out everywhere so I told my mum and she managed to get one from Woolworths about a month ago.

I'll be getting Motorstorm and F1 with it, but I've already bought Assassins Creed and Call Of Duty 4

Is the online stuff easy to get to grips with?

Online stuff is really simple, I hooked mine up using the wi-fi and it took probably only 5 minutes if that.

Only game I've played online yet is Skate, but that works well. I have got Motorstorm but haven't got round to playing it online. Not a bad game in itself offline actually, and there's a lot of additional stuff to be downloaded for it too from the Playstation Store.

Am I right in thinking there's a GT5 demo available for download?

Yup you can download GT HD.

Only one track, but a good selection of cars including the Ferrari 599. And you can compare your lap times against other people online too.

Nice one

Looking forward to it now.

ye my mrs bought me a 60gb in may....motorstorm is "ok"....F1 is wicked and call of duty modern warfare is awesome but sadly a very short game i think

i have need for speed pro street at the moment which is pretty cool once you get used to it and fifa 08 is a good laugh with all your mates

all in all i love my ps3 but ive always been a fan of the playstation and wouldnt have an xbox, im just patiently waiting for a grand theft auto on ps3 as i think it will be the game of all games

I got one a couple of months ago when the price dropped and the 40GB model came out, although I still got the 60GB

I love it. Only got Motorstorm, Resistance and Fifa08 at the moment (games that came with it). Only played Motorstorm once, which was online against a mate. Currently working through Resistance story mode, but regularly play online (only against a mate though, everyone else online must play loads as I usually get my ass wooped!!! )

Fifa I still play regularly too, both on and offline.

The Mrs has got me Need for Speed Pro Street for crimbo, but gotta wait till then to get it

I started this thread a while ago but it didn't get much interest

Challenge Accepted!!!

Do none of you have Pro Evo 2008?

PES >>> FIFA

I'm looking forward to playing online and to connecting it to my HD TV. A mate of mine's got one but he's yet to connect it via HDMI so I told him to get it sorted cos he's be missing out!

Nar, Fifa all the way for me. I think I've had almost everyone since 1999.

I did get the last Pro Evo last year, but didn't think much of it at all. The major downfall for me was the lack of real teams. I like to work through the game with Villa, and teams and players I know. Just couldn't get on with playing with West Bromwich United, or whatever it was. There was only so many times I could play International games too.

Also heard that Pro Evo 2008 was a bit cack. Mate of mine had it, said it was really slow, and went straight back to Fifa I read reviews that its full of bugs that make freeze up and stutter when playing it, and online play was just painfull
