This is one of those things that makes me realy annoyed, because sony are already got plans for PS3. When millions of us out there have shelled out are life savings for this and they are already planning a new console do u no how it feels to have a new expensive console and say to your mates i have a PS2 and a year later they have a PS3 you then have the erge to buy one and nerglect your PS2. In my mind i think they should not make a new console but make upgrades for the PS2.

Yeah, of course they're planning it, but they're unlikely to release it or any info about it until 2007.

Mircosoft are already planning the xbox2 but if you wait for that then xbox3 will be on the way and so on, PS2 hasn't been out for a year yet and at £200 it's superb ;-)

PS3 won't be out till at least 2005 :-)

I have said this a few times but I will mention it again. If you do not want to pay top money for a console, buy a cheap one and get a new one later. There is plenty of time to play them all. I have bought a Dreamcast for a very cheap amount with some games... No, I am starting a new topic on this one, once and for all !

The PS2 was in development within a year of the PS1 being launched, and that diddnt stop the public!

You would have thought they were working on PS3! You cannot expect the next uber-console to be cobbled together at the last minute, look at the DC. The PS2 is the shelf console for Sony for at least 3-4 years, (confirmed by the mags), and in this time they can work on the PS3.

I bet that if you wait for the PS3, then see it's £300 again and think "Oh, I'll wait until it's £200", and by then you hear about PS4, would you wait again? At that rate you'll never own a machine.

Over the years I've become very jaded after many bad experiences with customer services, you have bucked the trend. Polite and efficient from the Freeola team, well done to all involved.
Wonderful...
