I'm definitely passing on it until it becomes cheaper and there are games that are worth having that aren't already available on 360/PC, looking at that list of games there aren't many exclusives, if any.

Sorry Sony, you're not fucking me up the arse! (not that i'd let ANYONE fuck me up the arse, but you get the idea, lol).

The only games that i'm really bothered about are MGS4 and God of War 3, and considering MGS4 isn't a launch title and GoW3 hasn't even been "officially" announced yet, it's just not worth the asking price. God of War II is coming out in March anyway, and i can play that on my ageing PS2!! :)

I agree with you. I am more tempted to buy a PS2 (again) than I am to buy a PS3 atm. God of War 2 does look rather amazing. :)

And you've got God of War 1 to play first as well, trust me, it's totally worth it, i'd definitely pick up a cheap PS2 if i were you. It's worth it for Resident Evil 4, God of War, and MGS3 alone. God of War WILL piss you off at one bit though, i won't say where the level is set as it weould spoil it, but lets just say it involves revolving spikes! i almost smashed my controller in frustration, lol.

Lol! Nice! Well I'm going into Meadowhall a little later, so I may have a look at what deals are available. :)
