I think they are going to drop to about 800 in november or december. Need to get to 600 before i can justify that much.
EDIT: actually i'll probably buy one for whatever they're asking when GTA4 comes out ![]() |

actually i think it was this article, sorry guys.. In any case, there are quite a few good games on the horizon anyways. So PS3 owners shouldn't worry too much |

GTA IV also uses a new game engine and has no loading screens, which is contrast to other GTA games. No more Spray 'n Pay, no changes of physique, stealing cars is far more sophisticated now...the game is better, and a PS2 would not do it any justice. There has been talk for a while that GTA IV would purposely be be delayed to allow Halo 3 to gain a better chunk of the market. With both GTA IV and Halo 3 being major titles for XBox, why make them compete? I am not a fan of consoles anyway...I am waiting for the PC release. I will now try to find the best preview of GTA IV I can find...I read one recently and it was fantastic. From what I can ascertain, there have been two demos of GTA IV. The first was short and allowed far less...the second demo tried (under supervision by Rockstar) was far longer and gave far greater scope. Liberty City has been broken into five boroughs and although the total map size is smaller than San Andreas, the game is bigger because it is extremely dense, compared to desert and hills on San Andreas. This demo, it is estimated only explored 15% of the total area of the reformed Liberty City. We are going to get a great game. |

Kikizo did this brilliant review. I read it twice because I enjoyed it so much and am looking forward to the new game a hell of a lot. |

Why is it so unreasonable that the PS3 is $1000? Blu ray players alone go for more than that and can do much less. Im glad I bought mine, and that im not a tight ***. Cannot wait for this game though, that sucks!

Well yeah i can understand why its a $1000, with all the technology and all that, but 1g is quite a bit of dough. Thats a sound system for a car, or like 2 years worth of rego or 2 greenslips. Now if PS3 was say $500 i would definately have one, but at the moment ill just wait.

Didn't the PS2 sart off at like $800 when it was forst realesed? I waited like 3 years and picked one up for $300.
So I will wait a little while until I can afford a PS3. I'm not a tight , I simply can't afford one!

I prefer PC for sure, but PC doesn't get every console game, and when it does its usually a shitty port that doesn't run well, or comes without mouse support (MGS2 for example).

But GTA also takes over a year to come to PC each time. I couldn't wait that long to play it. I also cant stand sh*tty console games that are so much easier then the PC counterparts. Like any of the GRAW games, or Rainbow 6. Try Raven shield on PC, then the xbox equivalent. Its so annoying.

The reason why Rockstar release on consoles before PC is that there is greater money in consoles because the products are licensed. PC is more open-slather.
I am prepared to wait anyhow. |

Secondly, as I said, there is less money in PC gaming than consoles so they put their eggs in the console basket first. PC also has great potential, although XBox 360 and PS3 challenge the PC with current releases more than PS2 did when San Andreas was released. San Andreas on PS2 looked and played like rubbish.

I've put the fastest graphics card I could find for AGP on it (7800GS+ 512Mb), 2Gb of Highspeed RAM and the Processor (P4 3.0Ghz) just isnt worth upping...I'ts served me very well considering i've had the motherboard/CPU package since 2004.
