I might be buying this on the weekend and was wondering if anyone here has gotten it yet?

This and Folklore are next on my PS3 list. Just waiting for the price to drop on both.

I picked it up on launch and have been playing the hell out of it. Great game - fast, beautiful, intense, and chaotic fun. There's a good variety between mission types and vehicles. I'm an old school UT PC player who dominated that game, and I was going to refuse to buy UT3 unless they put in mouse/keyboard functionality. And the funny thing is that while m/k support is indeed included and works well, I find myself playing with the sixaxis all the time and kicking ass. And online you can filter sixaxis / m/k only games if you choose.

Bot play is fun and challenging, online play is fast and even the single player campaign is fun and though there isn't a deep story, it still has 200x more story than Time Shift.

I suggest you buy it if you have experience in console FPSs and are looking for one for your PS3 (but then, there's also Resistance and Call of Duty). The presentation is absolutely stunning-- as it should be, since the engine was developed in tandem for the PS3. In the middle of the action, though, it's hard to tell what's what. Some of the weapons/characters don't look different enough.

There's no splitscreen so it's not exactly a party game, but I've heard it might be patched to support it. Who knows? We'll see.

If they update it with splitscreen play and make it easy to download mods directly to my PS3 then I will definitely buy it.

I got it for Christmas and while I've only played the game a couple times so far (due to time and family commitments), it's EXCELLENT!

Only problem (not a complaint) I've had is that I have to be really picky about which online match I enter, as my broadband service isn't the best and I can suffer lag up the wazoo on UT3. Not sure why as I have no problems with Resistance or Motorstorm.

I highly recommend UT3 if FPS frag fests are your thing.

Got it this morning. So far I have only played the single player and so far I think it's great. Should be a blast online. I'll see about trying online tomorrow!

Remember to filter the "controller only" servers, unless you want to get your ass handed to you on a silver platter.

I tried playing online yesterday morning seems no one plays this....then again it was sunday morning. I'll try again at night later this week.

Sunday morning...? Real gamers sleep till 2 on Sunday. Try 3AM Friday.

Oops, double post. Where's the 'delete' button??
