Is VT3 really that good? I downloaded the demo last night and the movement seemed a bit dodgy. My player kept doing diving shots. I thought the dreamcast version was better.

its shit

LONDON (AFP) - Diehard gamers, some of whom had queued for nearly two days, finally got their hands on brand spanking new Sony Playstation 3 games consoles after its midnight launch in Europe.

Sony and other major retailers had talked up the long-delayed launch, though the console's hefty price tag appeared to have dampened the consumer frenzy that greeted launches of its earlier versions.

In the basement of Virgin Megastore's flagship London outlet, hardcore video game fans who waited in line for more than a day for the midnight launch were rewarded by Sony, which gifted each of the first 125 a new 42-inch Sony TV.

"It feels great, man, especially with the free TV on top," a jubilant Atkah Armah, 28, told AFP from the store, after collecting his PS3.

"We were sitting in the queue for about 50,000 hours, and all of a sudden, some guy came out and said, 'There's a free TV', and then he goes, 'and everyone in the queue's going to get one'.

"That was pretty amazing," Armah said, adding that he was going straight home to start playing his copy of Ridge Racer.

Virgin Megastore said it had booked extra security and free taxis to whisk gamers home and avoid them falling prey to muggers.

The PS3 does not come cheap, costing 425 pounds.

It was originally scheduled for worldwide release in November, but production problems meant it was only made available in Japan and the United States, where there were punch-ups and at least one shooting at frenzied launch events.

In the United States, Nintendo's cheaper Wii console outsold the new Sony in February by more than two-to-one, according to the NPD Group consultancy, while Microsoft's Xbox 360 also outsold Sony's console there.

Some gaming fanatics were not buying into the hype, criticising Sony's decision to sell only the top-of-the-line 60-gigabyte version of the PS3 in Europe, Africa, the Middle East and Australasia

Yeah I think that is why I am considering it.

Learning towards teenage mutant ninja turtles though and am also interested to know if Brian Lara's is good.
