PS3 Rally

Hey guys,

Interesting news today- Sony Australia has started rolling out its new PS3 bundle to boost local sales!

The games MotorStorn and Resistance:Fall of Man along with a second Sixaxis controller and the 60 GB PS3 will be sold for $999.95. Market research group GfK said 59,000 PS3s had already been sold since its Australian launch in March. The PS3 price was recently lowered in the US to boost sales.

What an awesome pack for those that live down under with me! I’m sure most of us will get this soon (I’ll be waiting for the pack with Killzone 2 or Call of Duty 4, thank you).

Hey guys,

It seems that Dead Rising 2 will not be available for the PS3 or the Xbox 360, as a matter of fact. There just isn’t enough budgeting available for it, even though they would “really love to do it”. We’ll just hope that they will make it later in the future. Dead Rising looked so good, and think it would on the PS3 (high def visuals + large amount of enemines on screen, anyone?)

Hey guys,
Bad news today. Unfortunately.

Apparently, Rockstar representative Hosi Simon has stated that the exclusive version of GTA IV will go to the Xbox 360. That means if you want the true, total GTA IV experience, that will mean you need to buy the Xbox 360 version. Which…kinda sucks, but then again, what is GTA IV compared with all the hotshot exclusive games the PS3 will get like Killzone 2, Final Fantasy XIII, Devil May Cry 4 and Gran Turismo 5. (Not sure if Metal Gear Solid 4 is still exclusive, heard it wasn’t)

And this comical comment appeared at PS3 Center:

Lets all send him our thoughts.

I totally agree. Spam time anyone?

Hey guys!

Awesome news today, here’s the August line up for the PS3!

August 14:
Lair
Madden NFL 08

August 21:
Tom Clancy’s Ghost Recon Advanced Warfighter 2

August 28:
Dynasty Warriors:GUNDAM…righteo..

Lair and GRAW2 will definately be games that you need to consider to buy. Top notch graphics and gameplay = absolutely fantastic. As for Dynasty Warriors:GUNDAM..well…give it a try It’s Dynasty Warriors, and its GUNDAM! Remixed together! So yeah…

Have fun!

Hey guys!

Another exciting day here! The $100 price drop seems to be continuing its stranglehold of the market! It has taken the best selling spot at Amazon.com from the Nintendo Wii for the first time in months! It has also made many retail chains sell out of their stock, with stores such as CompUSA being sold out of BOTH their retail stores and online site.

Surely, the PS3 is dominating. More of this, and it might just push its way right through the console war!

Hey guys!

Hey guys!

It seems that since the $100 price cut for the 60 GB, sales have gone waaaay up. And somehow, managing to beat the Xbox 360 sales!

The PS3 outsold the Xbox 360 from July 7-July 14th, and is also continuing to do so this week!

Sony managed to sell: compared to Microsoft’s:
PS3 Xbox 360
41,005 units 35,084 units

This week Sony has sold about 60 000, compared to Microsoft’s 40 000. Fantastic!

But then……it seems that Metal Gear Solid 4 will actually be on the Xbox 360. What a bummer.

And a rumour is that Sony will be adding a whole lot more than just rumble to the SIXAXIS controller…be on the lookout for more information these coming weeks!

Have fun!
