Will you be buying a Playstation 3?
Are you kidding?! It's been pre-ordered for months.
I may stroll into a shop after launch day to pick one up.
Possibly by the end of this year....
Not until there's a huge price drop and some decent games.
NEVER! My other games consoles fulfill all my gaming needs.
