    Question. Is your mom angry?

    Buying a PS3 with your own money. God I'd be so fucking upset.

    Well I'm glad everything worked out. I'm gonna be getting the new 80gb soon, but I'm also gonna put this this in it. I figure its better than waiting till November for a bigger hdd.

    So when you guys say "new 80gig" you mean the one that was announced at E3 right? The 80gig for 399?

    Two questions:
    1. Are they available in stores now? (I never could find the release date details)
    2. I read some details that said they are bundled with DS3 controllers, this is true yeah?

    "
    I sold it just after E3 with like  8 games 2 controllers. I regreted it as soon as i sold it but  10,000 kr ( about 2000 dollars)  is good money.
    I was a little upset about E3 :(

    E3 wasnt that long ago, so you sold your 60gb after E3 and just bought another one? That's weird. Did you sell your 360?

    It is, i bough a 360 but the store has  A policy ; you can return the  items within 30 days of the purchase and get all the money back.
    SO thats what i did i returned to the store   2 days after i got it :/ it was making weird noises so ihad to take it back   i couldnt risk a RROD :(

    Lol, yea. I plan on getting a 360 in September mainly for Gears 2. My PS3 will always be my pride and joy though. I still think the Ps3 has the better lineup for 08-09 but the 360 has some great games too. I'm also worried about the Red Ring but from what I've hears M Soft has great customer support and returns your 360 in less than 2 weeks. So if mine does Red Ring, I'll have a PS3 to keep me busy in the mean time. I too had a launch 60GB but me and my mom's boyfriend got in a fight and when I left the house he decided to smash it across the pavement. He bought me a 40GB a week later and said he was sorry but the 40GB doesn't even compare to the 60GB, I was still in the process of expanding my PS2 game collection since I never had a PS2 and now if i still want to do so I have to go out and buy a ps2. It suck's but at least he got me a PS3, he technically didn't even have to but he did and I'm happy with it, at least I can play all my PS3 games.

    Are you saying you sold your PS3 because of a semi-poor showing from Sony at E3, then just bought an inferior model anyway?

    I saw one in stores today (Toronto, ON, Canada).

    Almost bought it... gonna try and find a good deal on an HDTV for my bedroom then it's on.

    Thanks for the DS3 response Solid :) I've asked that question many times in a lot of different places and this was the first time I got confirmation (I'm a sixaxis hater btw).

    I'm pretty excited. Still not convinced it's the "greatest deal in town" as of right now, but I know it's gonna get better and I'm pretty pumped to finally get my hands on Uncharted.

    ...and LittleBigPlanet  *drools*

    I've played with both controllers and the DS3 was a "must be bundled" kinda deal. #1 reason it's been so easy to put off the purchase until now :)
