Sony giving away free stuff?

They had just been told they had been rewarded for their patience and loyalty with a free ?2,500 high-definition TV on which to play their shiny new console.

Though the cheap bastards didn't do it nation-wide.

EDIT: Might try using the correct quote, damn you copy and paste.

I just looked at my wall for a second and I thought I saw a slight dimensional rift forming.

Yeah, I would have sh*t myself if I were in line and they announced that. Of course, I may have sh*t myself already after waiting in line that long....

Kudos to Sony for all that. Free coffee/drinks, taxi rides home AND a free 2 grand TV. Now thats how a launch should go down. PS3 couldn't intrest me in the slightest, but I'll give them credit for doing this.

*entering rant mode*

In summary the price. You are paying 425 pounds for something not worth 425 pounds. Sure it has 8 processors and blu-ray technology therefore it should be obliterating the competition but it's not here is an example:

http://www.gametrailers.com/gamepage.php?id=3450 watch the
PS3 vs. Xbox 360 Comparison

as you can see the graphics are far superior on the 360 version despite using 3 processors against 8 and DVD media instead of blu-ray.

Also for this price SONY needs a good reason to make people buy it like good games exclusive to the PS3

http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/PS3_exclusives

as you can see not alot and IMO there is only one game on that list that is a must buy and that is MGS4 but one game does not warrant the purchase of a console. Personally I will be waiting until the price goes down and the PS3 gets some good games before getting a PS3.

And PS3 is already selling at below cost price, right? Sony are seriously desperate...
