Re: PS3 Discussion. Come, join the laughs.

Price cut may be coming soon, so says this article.

I'm not so sure about this though. Personally, I believe Sony will keep the current price for a while, ala PSP.

The PSP didn't do as badly, or put Sony in the red, as the PS3 did.

With the new 80 gig HD model coming out soon, I guarantee you it will take the $599 spot while the 60 gig version will take the $499 spot. It's the only way they can compete.

So far the 80 gig is just speculation, I'm not saying it won't come out but it's not confirmed yet.

Even if the 80gig does come out, I still think the price will be higher than the current 60 gig model, but what do I know? It's all a guessing game.

The pictures proved it for me.

And it would be SUICIDE to release it for more than 599. Sony will be the laughing stock of the video game industry if they do that.

Yeah your right, it's way too difficult to fake a picture on teh internets.:roll:

I agree that it would be insane to pay that much for a console but do you really think Sony gives two ****s if they get laughed at?

Just look at what they've already screwed up and all the hardships they've gone through with the PS3.

I wonder if anybody at Sony even knows what they're doing.

I hope its true. Would be nice if it happens in the fall before MGS. I plan on getting a PS3 when that game comes out.

Re: PS3 Discussion. Come, join the laughs.

I hope it happens too, I just wouldn't put too much faith in Sony at this point.

i lost all faith in sony and can safely say i'll never buy a ps3. Hell I got offered one from mate selling his a ps3 with a few games about £100-150 you know what I said? bugger that and paid £180 for the Wii.

The price doesn't bother me its the rest of it. It has 3 features i like 1 blueray 2 ps3 home looks cool 3 region free games. but the cons out weigh the pros.

Other than price what cons are there?

It's a great system with really fun games (not alot of games, but in time there will be more). The Playstation Network keeps getting better and better, and once Home comes out it will be fantastic. The PS3 itself is fine IMO.

Sony as a company needs to get back on track.

Re: PS3 Discussion. Come, join the laughs.

Well there are a lot of cons. here are some

• Ps2 games look worse on ps3 the upgrade didn't help
  
• It boasts how interactive it's control pad tilt system is yet it's an obviously ripped off version of the Wii remote they added at the last second that fails in comparison and feels poor when playing.
  
• It boasts graphics yet the 360 is much better.
  
• The internet is worse than 360
  
• Downloadable games ripped of 360 and wii and again did it worse
  
• Now i said blue ray was a feature I liked but it looks like HD-DVD will that war then blueray will be useless and if it blueray wins it's only beacuse sony shoved blueray down peoples throats. should of been a seperate add-on like 360s hd-dvd player
  
• the price but not in the way you think. I don't care what it costs. But the price leads to a lot of sheep thinking more expensive = better.
  
• losing their exclusives
  
• Horrible support to developers

And i'm done. I have more but hate typing long messages :lol: but If you like ps3 that's cool enjoy it. My friend enjoyed his. He was only selling it as he really needed the money.

Re: PS3 Discussion. Come, join the laughs.

Wow. I thought ps3 was bad but I didn't know even sony themselves say it's a failure

Sony and PlayStation creator Ken Kutaragi made a joint statement Thursday saying Kutaragi would retire from his position as chairman and group CEO of Sony Computer Entertainment as of the company's next shareholders meeting on June 19, and that he has "been considering this decision for some time."

"When you go from superstar to walking disaster, there are few executives that can survive that," Enderle said. "You're only as good as your last financial report, and while he was given some leeway (with the PS3) there were obviously some huge mistakes."

Actually Sony didn't say that it was Rob Enderle, principal analyst at the Enderle Group who was quoted.

*shrugs* The pictures looked authentic enough. But, the fact Sony doesn't deny this rumor, combined with the fact that several news sites are reporting it makes it look real.

I agree that it would be insane to pay that much for a console but do you really think Sony gives two ****s if they get laughed at?

Obviously, they do. Can you honestly tell me Kutaragi's retirement only months after the PS3's launch wasn't forced?

BINGO

he has done great work before and had future plans but ps3 lets face it was a mistake a really really bad mistake and unfortunately it does look like he was forced out for the mistake

The upgrade helped 1000 games. For what I hear it's more than Xbox360

Lol "rip off". Okay, but it's worse, but the console is not based only in that, I don't see how it could be a bad thing.

Xbox360 has one year more then the PS3, give it some time?

Riped off downloadable games? WTF??? Hey stop ripping off your ancestors and stop breathing please.

Yes, Sony has a militia group that goes to your house and forces you to buy a Blu Ray player. If Sony forced people PS3 would sell much more.

Xbox360 lost some exclusives too, not as good as, but lost it.

Playstation edge is coming and IBM is helping A LOT of developers.

Seriously, this looks much more like Sony bashing than cons of the console. I can't stand to listen to this anymore in the internet, I hate this new fad.

PS2 > PS3.
End of Story.

PS2 >> all other consoles. He is still the first one.

Re: PS3 Discussion. Come, join the laughs.

What are you guys 12 year olds?
I want to talk about the console and it's games, but it seems everytime some one comes to this thread it to bash the ****ing console.

Can't you just ****ing ignore the ****ing thread? You are not making yourselves cooler by bashing a console.

Re: PS3 Discussion. Come, join the laughs.

yeah and that's the one bad point of 360 the only one that seems to have the right idea about backwards compatible is Wii

Lol "rip off". Okay, but it's worse, but the console is not based only in that, I don't see how it could be a bad thing.

It was a rip off. the control pads they had of ps3 did not show it. then Wii reveals their wii mote and ps3 suddenly has one? please

Xbox360 has one year more then the PS3, give it some time?

how about look at the two call of duties? Both came out when consoles were first out and yet looked better on 360.

Riped off downloadable games? WTF??? Hey stop ripping off your ancestors and stop breathing please.

Yes, Sony has a militia group that goes to your house and forces you to buy a Blu Ray player. If Sony forced people PS3 would sell much more.

they force you to buy blueray player if you buy a ps3. It should of been optional

Xbox360 lost some exclusives too, not as good as, but lost it.

yes but non of it's big ones. PS3 lost having gta4 first. that is damn huge.

Playstation edge is coming and IBM is helping A LOT of developers.

then that's cool but right now still Con till PSedge comes

Seriously, this looks much more like Sony bashing than cons of the console. I can't stand to listen to this anymore in the internet, I hate this new fad.

Not bashing sony. I love psone , pstwo I owned a psp not bashing sony only ps3 as I think they ****ed up. They ripped things off in an obvious way. What worse each time they did they called it Revolutionary and claimed ps3 did it first.

If you think I'm bashing ps3 beacuse of a fad then and I hate to say this but you sound like a blind ps3 fanboy who can't understand that people like myself have valid reasons for hating it not just "some fad"

Oh yeah, Sony ripped off the Snes too when the playstation was created, I mean, two controllers with 4 buttons and a directional? No creativity at all.

I don't think it should be optional, it is letting the ps3 more expensive, but now it has a diferential from the x60

fanboy? Please, I like all consoles (except maybe wii, it doesn't interest me) I just don't like some "valid reasons" that are not valid at all. I hear those same things everyday, for me is BS because the console is too expensive.

No , that was not in obvious way and didn't try and make out they invented the 4 buttons and directional. Some copying is natural and fine. but when nearly all the mean features are worse obvious rip offs then it's annoying and people pick up on it.

No it was a cheap tactic to try and make blue ray win the war plus make mindless people think "It's more expensive then surely it has to be better"

Like I said the price doesn't bother me except for the reasons WHY it costs that much I see it for $700 (usa) or around £600 (my country) and that's nothing to me. (funny thing $700 = about £350. £600 = $1200 we are paying more than you for it and still I say it's pretty cheap)

Have you thought that if you hear it everyday their might be a reason for it?


but you like ps3 and want us to stop bashing so out of respect I'll stop for now and leave it as it is.

Blu Ray is better, it is expensive but it is better than a DVD... :?

I pay much more than that if I'm gonna buy a PS3 or a X60 here...

Yes I thought of it. Than I did some research about it and it was clear that people love to talk bad about the PS3.

Is not because I like it, but I just don't see this bashing over the Wii thread. Man, look at the ****ing tittle of this thread! Some of the users don't even come here to discuss something, they come, post something bad about PS3 and go to the next thread. I want to know what people that bought the console have to say about it. I want news about the games and so on... It pisses me off when Im looking for something and all I see is people using the same argument against the PS3. Is the PS3 that bad? No... Is the PS3 the best? Hell no, but it has his advantages. And people really should try and wait to say something of the PS3. The beggining of the X60 was not tha great either and he didn't have rivals in the next-gen.

no doubt blueray > dvd BUT the question is blueray or hd-dvd? I'm not sure and don't really care till normal dvds become like vhs. Seriously has anyone watched a dvd and thought "the quality is crap. it's so dated" I don't know anyone who has.

and

the reason you don't see it on wii board is wii is Revolutionary and innovative plus extremely fun. (should of kept the name revolution but wii leads to wiimote which makes laugh) not bashing ps3 in the post. But seriously try Wii

I've played, the conclusion I got is that I'm not in the target public of Nintendo. It is fun playing with friends, but It just doesn't have good games right now (the same could be said of PS3 though)

I hear great things about zelda

Dragonball z kicks *** (if you love dbz)

Wii sports the free game is very very fun

wii play too.


there are a few great games more to come

Re: PS3 Discussion. Come, join the laughs.

I only have one gripe about the PS3. It is why I have not bought it yet

A console should NOT cost 600 dollars. Period. The Jaguar tried it, the Neo Geo was a grand, both failed miserably. No one wants to pay that much for a console. Hell, I thought the PSP was too expensive at 200. I waited until it dropped to 169 to buy it.

And the only thing I blame it on is Blu Ray. If Sony had not gone with Blu Ray, they could have easily gotten the PS3 to the much more affordable (If still a wee bit high) 399 mark with minimal loss.

Sony wanted to have their cake and eat it too.

Re: PS3 Discussion. Come, join the laughs.

Everyone shut up. I will close this thread and ban the next person to say the Wii is more fun than the PS3 but the X-Box 360 has better graphics than the PS3 but blah blah blah. Who cares. I don't. Neither should you. You either like it or you don't. Just shut up.

Re: PS3 Discussion. Come, join the laughs.

With the new 80 gig HD model coming out soon, I guarantee you it will take the $599 spot while the 60 gig version will take the $499 spot. It's the only way they can compete.

If they keep the price the same and only add 20 GB to the size of the hard drive, it would be suicide.
