the real test will be whether or not DJ_LUSH gets a ps3. Until then... I am not sold.

You, sir, speak truth... if DJ_Luscious gets a PS3, then we know for sure the world's turning on its axis and Sony's making a comeback.

Well, I wasn't sure. I recall reading about there being one, but as I've never use it I couldn't tell for sure.

I'm just excited to see the NPD results coming soon. That will really validate, in my opinion, all these sales figures.

I myself am waiting for the EU sales data more. It'll be interesting to see whether the tide has turned back to where it was about this time last year, before the 360 price reduction.

The creepy Sony ads are back, with a vengeance.

Erwin Rommel, Joan of Arc resurrected by PlayStation 3.

(click ads) When advertising PS3, Sony has shown that they're willing to (sorry, awful ad cliche imminent) push the creative envelope worldwide (see boy with thumb penis via Austria). Here, via BBDO in Chile, we have gameboys giving a blood transfusion to "The Desert Fox," Germany's WWII Afrikakorps general, and a heart transplant to the teenage French Catholic saint. Are Erwin and Joan big folk heroes in Chile? While I probably could have guessed the ID of these historical figures (especially Rommel, note the Swastikas on the bed frame), I only know for sure because of the press note attached to the ads

EDIT: Few older ones:

Good for Sony. I for one dont like the slim though looks VERY cheap and nowhere near as good as the original. I like my original much more. But for 299.99 that is a great deal for a blu ray/game console.

I will probably get a PS3 around xmas time - especially as they're so cheap here in Japan! They're about 29,000 yen which converts to about £160 and you can usually find them for around 26,000

I still love my 360 and will buy all the multiplatform games for that as the PS3 communication capabilities are a joke.

Exactly what I was saying before! if i had a choice and didnt own a PS3 i would go for the PHAT one, it fits perfectly where i have it in my entertainment center and Slim would look weird in its place. I love the finish on the PHATS as well as the touch sensitive buttons
