When will you get your PS3?

On launch day 13.6%

Late 2007 25.9%
I don't want one 39.6%
The 6.8% obviously haven't heard the news. :lol:

Doesn't look like the price and general Sony incompetence has put off almost two thirds of gamers then.

Import. Duh. :)

And yes, it looks like the PS3 will still be a runaway success, regardless of the validity of blu ray, perceived fuckups on Sony's part or jingoistic Anti-Sony babble. Trying to dispute that is like trying to swim up an alligator-invested waterfall.

Maybe people should hold off buying a 360 or a Wii until March - Then the shops will be full of preowned ones part exchanged by people trying to rustle up enough cash for the PS3. :wink:

I find it far more interesting that that board is labelled "COK 001" :) You do find some strange things printed on PCBs in consumer hardware!

So 6.8% of all gamers are going to import in December? They better prepare to be disappointed. That would probably be more PS3's than Sony will release worldwide before the end of the year :D

Isn't GamePro american?

It doesn't say how many people voted either, so 6.9% of 1000 people importing is probably not a problem - or at least it wouldn't have been if Sony hadn't sent cease and desist letters to every importer this side of Omicron Persei 8.

Don't be silly. It's a poll. Polls give indication of what people intend or hope to do, which is hugely different to what they actually accomplish. If 6.8% of people asked think they're going to be able to import, let them go on thinking their deluded little thoughts, and don't get gobby with me. :)

Well I played Motorstorm today for quite a while on a PS3 booth. Not impressed. Pretty much as it looks in the videos, about 30fps with some slowdown, no real sense of speed, and I didn't really feel the controls were responsive or exciting. Some nice textures and models but really nothing we haven't seen before. Poor.
