Raistlin, knock it off. You and Kane are also at fault for propogating these arguments.
Anyway, 1st generation Sony releases are notoriously buggy, so I'd say you're probably best off waiting for a natural price drop anyway.

Stop assuming stuff.Who's going to pay for your second one when your first one overheats/crashes/explodes/whatever?

My mom (Yea, i'm only 13, so I still live with my mom) said she would pay $250 if I pay the other $250. I already have enough for the $500 one, so my gole is to get $350 for the 600 one.
Shame the price drop is only in japan though
ah well
[QUOTE=roto13-ness;1919811]Just because previous consoles at launch have been faulty, dont instantly assume this one will be.

Disc read errors and overheating are not minor.

Also, pre-established history of faulty first generation releases don't mean that the next release will be really buggy. But they also don't mean that they won't. I, personally, am not willing to throw down $5-600 for a system by a maker that has a history of releasing faulty systems for the first generation. I've more important things to spend my cash on.Just because previous consoles at launch have been faulty, dont instantly assume this one will be.

I got a PS2 at launch and it was perfectly fine. =o
Disc read errors were fixable, and didnt occur in every PS2. And I dont recall any Sony system to overheat and thus, break the system.
*gives you a cookie*
You shouldn't HAVE to send your PS2 away to be fixed, and the original PS1s overheated. You had to turn them upside down to avoid it. The overheating didn't HAVE to break the system. It was already broken.Disc read errors were fixable, and didnt occur in every PS2. And I dont recall any Sony system to overheat and thus, break the system.
By the way, turning your PS1 upside down was a myth, people did it thinking it was helping the system. Its still unknown if it was helping the system or not.*gives you a cookie*

That's even worse. :P
:O_O:
Well, nobody knows the future, so the Ps3 launch could go perfectly fine... But I agree with Behold the Void in that, going by history, it isn't exactly a safe bet, and it's a pricey bet at that. =/ Safer to just wait
Then again, my brother and I both got Ps2s on launch and we both took perfect care of them. Mine broke in a year and his still works to this day perfectly fine. Goes to show ya never know. Or that he's a witch, one or the other.
If anything I'd say it could very well be to appease the retailers who complained about the high price, and try and make up for Japan getting boned at launch. They're only getting 100,000 systems on day one afterall. It'll probably be hard enough to find one in North America on launch day with 4x that number coming to this side of the Pacific, so I pity those Japanese who are trying to find one on the first day.
As for first-gen systems being faulty, Sony may have a history of it, but then so does Microsoft. That said, my PS2 I bought on launch day still works perfectly, so go figure.
What a drag. The PS3 is way to expensive i don't think i'll bye one until the prices lower. I don't think the PS3 will be all crudy I have a feeling it will work just fine. But you can never be to sure, my brother bought the mini or whatever its called PS2 and it sucks. Its always scratcing up my disc.
Is it true that if you put touth past on a disc it will clear up the scratches? And since when was turing the PS1 around supposed to help it? But then again my PS2 froze up and when i shook it and turned it to its side it worked fine again....
