Playstation 3 Question
« on: July 21, 2005, 11:04:39 pm »
Does anyone know when the Playstation 3 is coming out?
My PS2 died and I'm debating on whether or not to get a
replacement PS2 or just wait until the PS3 comes out.

I believe the PS3 is coming out in 2006.  Of the next generation consoles only the XBox 360 is scheduled to be available by Christmas.

I also heard a rumor that Microsoft intends to release Halo 3 the same day the PS3 is released!  ::) ;D

Thats MS's rumored plan. I doubt it'll happen, but its a possibility.


My advice is to try and find a cheap used PS2 on ebay or something. That's how I'd do it. I use my PS2 all the time, and it'd be that, or I'd be waiting for a PS3.

Thanks guys. I think I'll look into getting a used one to hold
me over until the PS3 comes out.

What's your PS2 doing Ron? I've had a little Good luck with repairing them in the past, maybe I can give you some advice on how to repair It.

I can't believe it but I got the sucker working again. Whenever I put a disc in, the drive would make this funky
thrashing sound and the game wouldn't load. Well, I took a can of compressed air, shot a couple of blasts into
the drive and now it seems to be working.   ;D

Well there you go. Probably had some wood chips in It from your Lemon Tree.

Popped in Final Fantasy X and everything is groovy. It's amazing
what a little air can do.   ;D

 If it screws up on you again you can buy rebuilt ones pretty cheaply at game spot.

Ace Combat 6 (ONLINE FOR THE LOVE OF...) That's what I want. and Gran Turismo 5, and maybe a new Resident Evil, in a triumphant return to the Playstation platform.


Anywho, a lot of the "older" PS2's (meaning the first/second production runs) tend to collect dust like a mother. I shoulda thought of that  :P
