PS3

never need that much power? you're still back in the stone age dude. GTA IV will be out on PS3 first.

funny joke....

what do you mean by rewinding it? its not a tape that you have to rewind it.

what is it? what does it do?

yeah something like that. and its twice more powerful then the xbox 360.

this short video compares the last geneartion console and the next. http://youtube.com/watch?v=KXKnhAFnwXw&amp...Playstation%203

i use Opera for java games more than IE. firefox doesnt let me play pogo games that require java. you try and play pogo games using FF, if you dont beleive me. www.pogo.com is the site.

i havent used Office 2007, nor am i planning to in the future. WMP 11, IE7, WLM 8.0 looks awsome. looks much more modern. i dont use IE7 much only when i play java games on the net.

thats wierd. ive always had those problems on IE but never with FF.

no, i havent ever done that. i just download my music from limewire and then transfer it to my ipod.

yes, all PS3 games will be on BD. its backward campatible so users can play PS1&2 games.

if you want to upgrade yourself to a Blu-Ray Player (BD) and getting it cheap then buying the PS3 is the way to go. buying the BD on its own is more expensive then getting the PS3.

if thats the case. ive downloaded it. thanks mate.

Taiwanese Manufacturing Giant Asustek Computer, one of the world?s largest producers of computer components, has reportedly begun shipping Sony PlayStation 3 game consoles to Sony Computer Entertainment Inc. The fact that the consoles are being manufactured and shipped indicates that the hardware specifications have been finalized and the launch will take place on schedule in mid-November. The Chinese-language Apple Daily and Commercial Times newspaper reported late on Tuesday that Asustek Computer started shipments of PlayStation 3 (PS3) game consoles in small volume in the beginning of July, according to DigiTimes web-site. According to a report, about 200 thousand component sets were shipped to Asus in June, which means that the company is set to manufacture 200 thousand game consoles. It is also said that in July the Taiwanese manufacturer will receive higher amount of component sets for the PS3, while in September and October the company will get "more than one million [component] sets. Sony promised to have 2 million PlayStation 3 consoles available during the launch window (Mid November ?06) and ship 4 million PS3s worldwide by the end of 2006. By March 2007 the company plans to supply 6 million game consoles to the market. Foxconn Electronics, the largest manufacturer of connectors for use in PCs in Taiwan, and a leading manufacturer of connectors and cable assemblies in the world, is also projected to build the next-generation game consoles for Sony. However, the news-paper did not unveil any shipment schedules for the company, claiming that the company will start assembly operations "when demand rises", perhaps indicating the company as a stand-by manufacturer of Sony?s. The two versions of the PlayStation 3 game consoles ? for $499 and $599 ? will be launched on 11th of November in Japan and on the 17th of November in Australia, Europe, U.S. and other regions. source from - http://www.ps3portal.com/ps3/article/460.html will you be getting one? i sure am.

ok..... what is it?

post a log? how do i do that?

you should be able to magnify it. it says "Could not authenticate to server"

im guessing its US$600 and its a desktop right? if it is then i know that sounds expensive. thats a little over AU$800. and with that amount i could at least get a 128MB graphics card, decend 17" LCD Monitor, 120GB HD. because its your mate, you should try to bargain with him. ive seen near the same offer in the stores for about AU$500.
