Don't buy them then. Its quite simple. Sony ain't holding a gun to your head.
I'm getting Resistance, RR7 & Motorstorm. (Actually already got Resistance thanks to Ebay. It's been sitting on my shelf for the last two months waiting for a PS3)
BRING IT ON!!!

"Don't get me wrong, not saying they are bad games just not ones that grab my attention by looking at names alone, MotorStorm would interest me most I think."
I don't/ didn't plan on getting one anyway at least not until MGS4, FFXIII and other big names get released.

I'll wait until Xmas 2007 before I buy one. And even then I have to check first what's the situation is. Probably will get a X360 first..

Fair enough.
Its just that comments like your 1st tend to ignite the 360ites into mass anti-PS3 posting. I've seen enough of that in the last few weeks.
Lets just all play nice.

Bad news on the online front, there isn't any on the PS3 - better dig a 360 out for Sumo's 360 conversion as that does have it.

Some of the screens look awesome on that, seen a vid but was hard to judge from the quality, but looked nice from what I could tell with a great sense of speed.

If the games are £60 they can go and whistle.

However, most of the stand out titles are already available and afaik PS3 games are going to cost over 75Euro. Sony should really release games at a reasonable price, but I suppose their logic is that if people are willing to pay a lot of money for the console they'll do it for the games too.

"Thats one hell of a launch line-up, cheers Sony, smacks 360's launch line-up in the face, what has Microsoft's whore Peter Moore got to say about this then..."
I think your so f**king retarded u pieace of **** cause you freakin ignorant most of that shit is a bad remake of the tittles already out for the 360 in their worse version ever. With the delay and all that shit and still too hard to make them look if not better at least the same good for the PS3? That's pathetic and you are even more for even talking about this shit. Go play ridge racer minus 7 or FNR 3 and tell me why you re waiting to enjoy next gen gaming for that price with worse graphics. Got it? When you don't know shit more than just what you hear DON'T EVEN POST proving how stupid you are.

"23 ill be there, buying ps3+resistence+ motorstorm.
Elder scrolls sucks!"
Are you trying so hard to prove what a fanboy you are? I can tell just by the fact you have no idea about games.... Elder scroll sucks? Are you stupid or something? Resistence is a stupid unbalanced game trying to prove something with incomplete graphics and motorstorm... ALL OF A SUDDEN YOU ALL WANT THAT KIND OF A GAME? just cause it's a PS3 exclusive with funcy graphics... So ... How much in total? 800 For a piece of Junk with it's accesories.... Smart Smart... At least if Id hear you say that you were going to buy Elder Scrolls I wouldn't realise that easy how much you don't know about real gaming than what Sony passes to you.

@davisorle
Everyone has different taste.. Halo2 sold 6.4 million copy. Bungie, the developer just admitted it was half bake cake. Can u said every Halo 2 owner's know nothing about game? Doom 3 was another example. Now I look back it was ok but wasn't that good, more like 7.5 out of 10.

Technicaly it's not a launch line-up though: it's a launch+ four months line-up. Agreed it looks very good on paper but when you remove the games that are available elsewhere looking just as good (running better in some examples e.g. THP8), playing with a more ergonomic, rumbling pad, for a fraction of the price...
Don't get me wrong, for next-gen newcomers it's ace, but let's put it into perspective: if it IS all about the GAMES, you could hunt around the 2nd hand shelves, pick up MOST of the quality titles in this list and a 360 with a second pad for less than £425.
That said, I am tempted just to use it as a Media Center / Linux PC / TV based web-browser / BR player but I won't be getting it because of it's games.

LOL and what Rambaldi said. In addition compare it to what's available on 360 now? I'm sure Mr Moore is fairly happy
Comment below viewing threshold Show
I know its a demo and doesn;t represent blah blah blah.
But teh loadingtimes are hideous (even moving between vehicles on the selection screen takes an age), the graphics, whilst impressive, arn;t what i was hoping for, the control is nto quite right and the lack of rumble completely kills the experience.
The other games i've player so far
Blazing angels (xbox 360 version looks better)
GTHD (looks fantastic, still the same old GT handling model)
Hopefully they'll be something else soon that takes my fancy, but at the moment i'm not loving it, and would gladly sell if someone offered me a decent amount for it.

And like a lot of people say,if you already own a 360 then that line up of games is a bit unexciting,I played a lot of them friggin months ago :/
Comment below viewing threshold Show
360 had cod2, pgr3, pd0, amped3, nfsmw, and was worth a purchase if ONLY for cod2.
yes the ps3 will be very nice, and yes the graphics look nice, but £60 is a lot of money for a shiny disc that in most titles case - is available elsewhere

But keep in mind, it's BC to the vast majority of PS2 games. Upcoming PS2 games should be considered to be in the launch window lineup too.
Personally, since I never bought any of the previous playstations (the last console I owned was a MegaDrive), I intend to collect classics like the MGS series, GoW or Okami. And a most of them will turn into budget titles over time. I hope I can get to play GoW2 on the PS3 in a few months, if I don't get my hands on Heavenly Sword first, that is.
And the network games? Lovely bonus. There is even a full-fledged Tekken game for download, if you don't find this promising, there's something wrong with you people.
As for the lineup itself, if the vast majority of these games makes it out within the first 3 months after the PS3 launch, it will be a very solid library to begin with indeed.

And with DM4, MGS4, FFXIII and some might-be-ubercool new IP's like Lair, White Knight Story etc on the horizon, Sony just might pull it off after all...
When they'll get their act together once again bit-by-bit, by for example making the online-feature xompetitive enough with Xbox-Live etc...
PS: here on the mainland games (PS3/XBox/Wii) all cost max 60 euro...

i dunno, ive seen some 360 games at 65euro or 70euro sometimes...

">An excellent launch lineup to be fair.

Did you read the entire post? I went on to criticise it, as most of those games are already available at cheaper prices. You have to agree that it is a good list of games, just not at the price Sony are charging and not if you already own a 360.

If you strip away the stuff you can get on every other format, its basically the japanese line up with motorstorm, which, considering the delay, is pretty piss poor, to be honest.
Oh, and gundam seems to be missing...

Aren't PS3 games the same price as Xbox 360 games in America....
/is confused
Comment below viewing threshold Show
It all comes about because captbirdseye spilled Sony's launch plans on the forums. Amongst these facts (none of which, so far, are wrong) was Sony pushing a £60 pricepoint. That'll be €80, most likely.
I imagine, right now, Peter Moore is reiterating: "we have 130 HD games. Sony will have... 28 on disc, 15 of which we've already released on ours and some of the rest soon will be. Come on in, the picture's lovely." In other words: meh.

If potential PS3 owners have not owned a 360 then the launch line-up is actually ok. But there are still games in that list that are between 4-18 months old, and you're still going to be charged an extra ten pounds for these (older) games, ontop of what they retailed for on the 360. Thats my only confusion, why someone would willingly pay out for those ported games, at an extra £10 per game. Extra pads will also cost more (£5), on every front it seems Sony are risking it with over-pricing.
I suppose it comes down to who is happy to put up with it, if you're willing to take this from Sony, then thats your choice... if not, then don't buy it.
Comment below viewing threshold Show
But i thought it was the publishers setting the price point not Sony, so it'd be publishers screwing Sony's PS3 rather than the Sony screwing Britain.
Otherwise all the devs would have followed MS's policy of charging £40 for first party titles.... what the hell happened to that BTW?

If this continues, then well apart from the fanboys I'm not holdoig out much hope for the machine here in europe. Unless people are stupid enough to think hey I can spend 425 quid to play all those ps2 games.....naw you's have to be really stupid to have that as a reason.

Play always do games cheaper than retail so 59.99 is likely the in store price. This does not bode well. When 360 first came out games were 49.99 and they didn't sell as well as retailers thought. The public soon twigged that no way did the games coming out cost any more to make than the last generations games do.
Technology naturally moves on and so do the people using and developing for it. The tools get better too and PC games have been at this level of quality for longer than the last generation has existed. In short rocketting prices is just a way to make more money from people. The problem is that people are getting smarter and simly don't buy that line anymore.
It looks like it's going to take a while for manufacturers and games developers to accept that. Just as it took dvd movies a while to accept that the gullible punter days were over! I will not mention the hurtin' music CD manufacturers got when they refused to accept that people were wise enough to know that they could download music and share it for free and didn't need to buy the CDs at all! They lost hundreds of millions before finally accepting they needed to get in on the cheap as chips music scene to survive!

They've also got games listed for 23rd march release that are not on the launch list. Guess things will change soon.

"They've actually made improvements in the PS3 version but I don't think that'll save it from being shit though."
And how the hell could you have an opinion about that? Is it cause you've seen it on action on a PS3 or what? LOL "sad"
"I don't like Elder Scrolls Oblivion...
Resistance, Motorstorm, Lemmings, Gripshift and Formula 1, Virtua Fighter i'm looking forward to, ever so slightly disapointed that Heavenly Sword didn't make it in the list."
You don't like oblivion ( either you haven't seen it either you don't like PRGs so you can't even comment about that game) but you are waiting for the games that you haven't even seen... How can someone not call you a Sony addict?

This is what i've been talking about... Waiting so so bad for the days that most of the people in here supporting Sony to a stupid point trying to prove they aren't FANBOYS how much they'll try to keep it in when they get to find out what they have been waiting for.. Im so looking forward!!!

I think something is really wrong with u dude... Seriously... Some of these tittles were supossed to be from last year... YES. I'm not asking you. That's how it is ( except if u know they were fucking with ur minds a year ago right? ) Hoping to play GoW2 in a few months... BC games... WTF? R u serious? These are reasons to wait & pay for a PS3? You gotta be kidding me dude I swear! lol You don't even bother talking about the fact that games already out on 360 look better when PS3 had so so much freakin time to improve their flaws or whatever. Nice way on trying to make people buy a PS3 so they won't be stupid. R they stupid if they don't or......?
