Most of that lineup has already been released on the 360 a few months to a year ago. So a great launch lineup is ports of games from a less expensive machine? What are the exclusive titles on that list? Resistence? Is that one game worth the extra what $300-$400 you're going to paying for a PS3 over an X-Box 360? Oh wait you also get Blu-Ray! Woohoo!

Firstly, this is the European launch. We won't paying extra in 'dollars'. We have our own currency.

Much of the lineup are not ports. There are plenty of new games there. Resistance, Motorstorm, Ridge Racer 7, Virtua Fighter 5, Virtua Tennis 3. Granted, a couple will find their way to other consoles, but Resistance, Motorstorm and Virtua Fighter 5 alone secure a great launch for us Europeans. I'd certainly go home happy.

As we are European i will be playing ps2 games on it anyway for awhile like Final Fantasy 12 when that is released the end of february God Of War 2 and Rogue Galaxy so im happy just getting the console and plus after playing Oblivion on 360 i will get that to see how much they have inproved it thanks to the larger disc capacity as 360 is only a 9 GB disc PS3 is nearly 40GB so games released on both consoles wont be the same just look at Pro Evolution Soccer 6 when released on 360 it was missing alot of things from the PS2 version how sucky

I don't know what the differences are between the PS2 and XBOX360 version of that game are, but since both of them use the same 9GB DVDs the differences can't have anything to do with storage space.

Oh no doubt it will sell out at launch since EVERYTHING does. The question is what happens after that. It may top Wii for best-selling UK console launch ever but after that.... perhaps. As a European myself I only know one guy who's getting it- and plenty of folk who had a PS2 and find the 3 ridiculously dear and therefore won't get it, but I'd say it will still do excellently.

I can't remember what the issue was. It may well have been a time constraint. A lot of teams and leagues were missing.

Sorry to burst your bubble, but disc capacity has little to nothing to do with.. well.. anything. Oblivion wasn't even close to filling up the whole 360 disc, so unless they found that about 3-4 GB on every disc was mysteriously useless, I doubt that has anything to do with it.

Well it does when we're talking N64 volume of capacity, but yeah, Pro Evo 360 was just the devs not having the resources or the time to put all the teams in for taht version.

im glad when oblivion comes onto PS3 its a longer game i know they have added races and made the story longer and even added a guild with new missions

...all of which are already available for the XBOX360 version

No they weren't

The only thing that was missing was an extensive edit mode, even then it could be fixed with a patch, but everything will be back for PES7

I thought the game was missing a host of lower leagues? Or was the that 360 FIFA?
