Hey ppl last week i had just inquired about ps3 at jjmehta,n they replied that ps3 will hit Indian markets only in June 08.So i think BP is right,but deep in my heart even i am praying that march 07 should be launch date of it. Moreover i dont think there r any exciting forthcoming titles except MGS4 which r ps exclusive for ps3.All the rest like GTA, FEAR and others would be released simultaneously on 360 or pc. And 35k is too much for a middle class average gamer like me.so its humble 360 for me.I think even BR games would be costly than that of 360 even its officially released in india. Regards,

Here is the good news among all the bad news around here. Just called up Digimart owner. He says 20GB PS3 is readily available and incl. shipping and 110->220v adaptor, costs 40,000 Rs. Thats right. He said the demands are out of the roof. And he also confirmed they'll be getting 60GB soon. They already have more than 10 PS3 titles.
D**n I wish I had more time left in my leave.

Guys DO NOT buy the Jap PS3. Save your money for the official release or even a HK/Asia version. The Jap version seems to have a lot of problems with crashes, game freezing & power supply issues.

the ps3 is too fracking expensive to import/buy out of region -- i still recommend waiting at least 6-9months -- that should be enough time for sony to iron out all hw/fw bugs, improve its PSN, stabilise its firmware (background downloads!, better ps2 compatibility, hdtv upscaling, etc) & for its software catalogue to improve (and for a few revered franchises to make their HD debut)

He told me all his stuff is imported from HK. He has a contact there. And yes, all PS3 units he has are from HK. BTW, Bushpirate, thanks for the warning

Regards, What are you saying?? Exclusive titles is the Playstation's secret of success and Sony knows that. Incase you've been living in the cave or something, here's the list of PS3 exclusives already out and coming out NEXT YEAR or early 2008. Resistance: FOMEight Days Fomula One 06 Gran Turismo HD Heavenly SwordHot Shots Golf Jak and Daxter: The Lost FrontierKillzone 2Lair MotorStormWarhawk God of War 2/3 Devil May Cry 4Ridge Racer 7 Tekken 6Virtua Fighter 5 Final Fantasy XIIIRachet & Clank Next GenUnreal Tournament 2007Full Auto 2 Ninja Gaiden SigmaCoded Arms: Assault I'm sure there are more, if someone can add. Each bold title is single handedly enough to convince me to go and buy PS3. Wii has even longer list of exclusives..much longer. But one thing at a time and one console per year

HK units are 220V. This guy is selling Jap units which are 110v. Also HK uses a unique 3 flat prong plug while the Jap ones use the 2 flat pin plugs. This is an easy way to check.
Also there are no "Importers" selling "HK units" as they are strictly distributed through 8 "Authorized" Sony dealers.
HK dealers do not like dealing with South Asians & Israelis and flatly refuse to sell to them. Only 2 of them entertain S Asian customers & both these guys are reboxing used stuff or selling flawed merchandise for cheap. I have seen many Indians especially a Sardar buying these units in Bulk for India.
Trust me on this one as I have seen many folks get burned by these crooks.

Exclusive titles KC... I can put a list of 150 titles for PS3/Xbox360. But those I've put are EXCLUSIVE/MADE FOR kind. And if Sony had released PS3 in Mar06, we would've seen all those 360 fall titles on it as well, even GOW, since Epic's next title is PS3 only(so far). May be not Viva..but I don't mind. Altair, my mistake, GoW2 is PS2 while GoW3 is PS3. But its still for Playstation only

ut07 has NOT been CONFIRMED as a ps3 exclusive. V The game has been officially announced for PS3 (and PC) and shown on PS3 at E3. Epic has denied its 360 release date until PS3 version is out. Here's quote from IGN and Gamespy.. This game is currently scheduled for release on PC, and is expected for release in some form on next-gen consoles as well, although exact plans for release have not been confirmed -- the PS3 version has already undergone heavy development, while a possible Xbox 360 version has been considered but not actively developed.
So if you read between the line, you'll get the idea. Do you have any additional info about UT2k7 being announced/confirmed for 360, 'cause that'll be news for me.
