If you couldn't buy a PS3 this fall...

If you saved $600 for a PS3 but none were available in 2006, what would you do?

If Forza has a better or equal driving engine to GT4 and good wheel support, it might just sell me a 360. To date, it would also be the only reason for me to get a 360.

This would never be as a replacement for the PS3 though. I'll get one as soon as I see one for sale in a shop over here for 600 euros or less. I may even want to pre-order. If a later model proves to be better (as they usually do), I'll probably get a 2nd too. I already have two ps2s, two psps, one Xbox, and if the PS3 is anywhere near as good as the ps2 or psp, then I definitely see two ps3s in my future. The first one near launch, the second after maybe 2 years, depending on how things develop. I plan for one to be in the living room, and the other in my game room, where I would also set-up my dance-mat, driving wheel, and so on. ;)
 
no I meant you'd buy it on ebay....and apparantly sell it back on ebay later?

no i make always for sure i have consoles on launchday so i sell them the same day back

i had hold of 4 xbox360 premiums on launch when everybody was crying they couldnt find one . and then its bling bling time on ebay :devilish:

nobody I know would do that. they'd sell it themselves.
 
I voted wait until 2007 (although as we all know a wad of cash doesn't sit easily in your pocket for long....). It's cos I have a 360 already. If the Wii on launch looks like it rocks and was cheap enough I'd prb pick that up.

Man, when I become such a consumer?
 
Well I voted the first one, but it depends on this hypothetical vote what my hypothetical reasons for wanting a PS3 are. If I have this money because I want a PS3 because of it's exclusives, there's no point buying any other console. If I just want to play games, I may get the other consoles, but then why was I wanting a PS3 specifically?
 
I would definitely wait. If you've got the money, why settle for less than what you want when you can get the full deal in a few months anyways.
 
option 5 for me - it seems the ps3 will not have a system seller at launch for me. unless a mircale happens and they make GT5 or soulcalibur4 launch titles (wishful thinking on my part) or the ps3 is indeed the homebrew friendly machine some guys here think it is going to be (wishful thinking on eveybody's part ; )
 
I would definitely wait. If i already saved that money for the purpose of getting the console, then i wouldnt spend it in another console due to lack of availability.
 
I am so all about Option 5.

I've been planning to get the Wii and PS3 (in that priority order) and I'm also not going to buy any consoles at $600.

Or even $400. So it might be a while before I grab a PS3.
