My faith is being SHAKEN people, and it frightens me.
I'm a playstation fan through and through. And FURTHER, because I am incapable of playing any game other than Tekken, I buy it, for the ONE GAME, pretty much. I was set on buying PS3, I was, because I an D-E-D-I-C-A-T-E-D, but then they announced that THEY WILL NOT BE RELEASING TEKKEN 6 anytime soon, and only has Dark Resurrection to offer me. That breaks my heart. I have NO USE for blu-ray, wireless controllers or 20GB of memory because:
1) When I want to BUY dvds, I want to WATCH them not have a ton of bullshit come flying at me from the screen and interrupt my viewing experience with lame interactivity.
2) I do not have an awesome flat screen, LCD, huge-ass TV I CAN enjoy high quality TV on, mine is large, but more often than not, even when it's on, I am staring at my computer while it flickers on behind me.
3) Wireless controllers. As I play ONE GAME, I already the most hard core, Arcade stick, Tekken emblazoned controller in the entire world. Using this is the only way I cna show off in the gaming arcades. $80 for new controllers, that have NO ACTUAL influence on my game of choice seems a little redundant. Also, whatever happened to that awesome boomerang looking PS3 controller they proposed? The ones they DO have are exactly the same as the ones I have now, meaning they're easily breakable, hard to mash, and eventually will be completely impossible to recharge. I say this, because one of my controllers has kind of broken from excess mashing and I am infinitely bitter.
4) I haven't even filled my 8MB memory card. WTF am I going to do with 20GB of game play?!I BLOW HARD at any RPGs. You have not seen someone SUCK until you've seen me try and attempt it. There is a lot of flailing and WHAT DO I DO NOW coupled with avoiding enemies as inevitably I die before I can acquire the experience points. But seeing as there IS NO GAMES for me to even try this in the PS3 line up, this is a moot point.
5) IT. IS. TOO. EXPENSIVE. USAn's at least only pay $600-$800 for that console. GAMERS IN AUSTRALIA? Have to fork out $1000!!! ONE GRAND FOR ONE GAME. I can't justify that AT ALL. I MIGHT AS WELL TAKE MY ONE THOUSAND DOLLARS AND GO TO JAPAN. That is INEXCUSABLE.

Good point about the lack of TANGIBLE awesome to back up claims and the fact PS3 has forgotten it's a console for GAMING rather than interactive dvd play.
Sony says they'll pay $1200 for any PS3 still in stock. Meanwhile you can make SIGNS out of left over sales. And I can't find a Wii anywhere. I wonder what will happen once PS3 is out in Australia?
LOOK!
Tekken 6 postponed to 2008 WHAT DOES THIS MEAN FOR AUSTRALIA? 2010 MOTHERFUCKERS. *HATE*
In conclusion, PS3 you expensive hooker, I am not interested and you will have to take your diseased, overpriced wares elsewhere.
