This time next week there will be billions of people lining the streets in Akihabara waiting to get their grubby sweaty mitts on the PS3. I will be there too (probably) but not to line up (cos my unit has already been secured) but to take pictures of the folks lining up (Im so evil). Heck I may as well go in armor (even though theres no Star Wars game for launch).

Gundam Target in Sight will be released on the 11th too and you can see more screenshots and watch the trailer at the official site. The graphics look skiddy-pants impressive but we'll have to see what the game play is like.
I'm ordering Ridge Racer 7 and wait for reviews of Target in Sight before I buy.
My PS3 is due to arrive next Saturday and all I can do is pray that there wont be any first batch defects that have become a trademark of Sony ToT.
Order Ridge Racer 7 and Gundam Target in Sight at Amazon.

wow, it's looking quite good. Hopefully it has the gameplay to back it up. As for the next gen race i'll check up on it from time to time. Probably will pick up the best one after awhile. Hopefully it doesnt turn out like the handheld race because oddly enough i really didnt have fun with either of those two.

Won't be purchasing a playstation 3 due to costs, even if it is a new generation system. I may love Nintendo, AND their new technology will be at a more affordable price. Yay for Nintendo Wi-i!

(ID #40998) Posted on 2007/01/02 01:23
I agree with chrno, the retail price for the PS3 is just ridiculous. Some news reports reading the expected retail to cost £425 for UK! The game prices arent any better either £49.99? Maybe if I took a mortagage I afford could it. But I'll wait till the hype/rush has died & the christmas season gone, And even then ¬_¬.

saw the promo pics a while back, was thinking finally the Japanese decided to give the mechas from Gundam universe more weathering in their games, something which the Americans did long time ago with the Mechwarrior franchise.

personally I prefer these seasoned war torned look, but then Gundams are uber bots which is kinda contradicting, I shldnt complain anyway as I will take realistic look anytime man.

OT: anyway hope that Bandai/Sunrise make more of 0080 Pocket War and 08MS team which dont have uber bots, rather than Gundam W or Gundam Seed which have "spam"bots that never miss.

I'm actually praying that the PS3 will be one of Sony's follies. The actual costs of the system is extremely high and the options package basically lacks the cables for connecting your PS3 to a new hi-fi TV. Also I see fault in their Blu-Ray format which might be thrown out all together in a few months if its not adopted (like the UMD). However, having said all that I am hoping that the first batch from Sony are bug free unlike MS's Xbox360 and their own dead pixel feature for the PSP.

Cheers,

I'm getting a PS3 on christmas, and the first game i'm gonna buy is this one. By the way, the game is called GUNDAM:Crossfire in north america, u guys can check it out on www.gamespot.com. it looks pretty darn sweet, it'll be fun to blow a zaku's head off and it doesn't explode like in the anime

to be honest 
i´d rather get the nintendo wii
because the graphics doesen´t matter if i cann experience a totaly new gameplay
of course the graphic on ps3 is kick-ass-much-better but i can go even further with my computer and top the ps3 in let´s say half a year.

but nintendo wii is a complete new style of playing and this is what i´m want to experience^^

some may think different and i dont want you buy a wii because i say this but this is what i want to do^^

later^^
(ID #41008) Posted on 2007/01/02 01:23
Thats 2 games for the PS3 which interests me. Too bad that PS3 cost quite a bit.

I'm thinking about the Wii because, Lets see..I know that Zelda is on it...Bleach too XD

I'll wait till I'm Rich then I'll buy buy buy lol...

(ID #41015) Posted on 2007/01/02 01:23
looks like such a cool game... but I guess I'm gonna wait til the price tag on the PS3 goes down a bit more. ^^ I wonder if there's going to be a region lock on the PS3 though.

looks very nice, yes you should go and take picture sof them hahhahaa that will be evil, but so good MMUHAHHAA. 

Yes, from what I know PS3 will play PS2 as in backword compatble. I hope I'm not wrong, but that is what I heard when they talk about it.

just a quick question i know that the psp is a reigon free styem and from what i heard theps3 will be too, but will it be region free on older ps2 games? so i can play ACE 2 with a swap disk or buy a jap ps2.
can any one get info on this?

The PS1 and PS2 games that follow the Technical Requirements Checklist will be playable on the PS3. I'm not quite sure what games that includes though.

Sorry to hate Danny, but I think it's inevitable that there will be hiccups in the initial systems. That's why I'm waiting...

Wow! This game seems rather promising to me (being a fan of the 08th MS Team anime), but I just hope that this is not a typical action game where only one guy solo the whole stage. I want "teamwork" featured in this game. Sorry if I miss something here as I didn't research much into this title, just heard it by name.

wow darn the PS3 sigh I wish I have money to buy that monstrous console. Hmmm ... the Gundam game for the PS3 graphics is a top notch but how about the gameplay will it be fair or balance to match with the graphics?. 
(ID #41033) Posted on 2007/01/02 01:23
Toolset says NO!
For all it's so called gfx being next gen I have to say that mobile ops coming out for the xb360 looks a lot better.

as for sony? i think they've screwed up big time, too long to market, banned from grey importing in europe...nahh they can get stuffed, i'll be getting an x360, playable games and none of this next gen core hype (considering most games developers have complained about the ps3 compiler being caff)

My PS2 was bugged but in a good way - they forgot to remove the region protection!

Daniel,
Another one where we will have to wait n see.

Destiny,
Yes it does.

I checked out this game online and I personally think that the XBox 360 gundam game looks WAY better. Does anyone know if the Xbox gundam game will ever come out? This one looks too movie-like, not like your actually playing the gam, The xbox one does. I'm still gonna get the PS3 but I'm really tempted with the XBox game.
