I just read theres a good chance this might be fake. I wont get excited until I see some proof.

i dont plan on getting a ps3 but i think if i went and got one i would grab resistence, virtua fighter, and motostorm

 

[Sovieto]

seems by the end of 2007 ps3 will be up there competing with wii

I agree, Sovieto. I'm a look-to-the-future kind of guy. that's why I bought a PS3. I'm really looking forward to Warhawk, Motorstorm, and MGS4.
