PS3 Under Fire

[The Fat Bioware Nerd]

Yeah but nobody is gonna buy it because a lot of features that are in the $600 version are removed in the $500 version.

I'm forking over $600

I'm all hyped up about Ps3s Release. can't wait. must play now. *Turns into a mindless fanboy zombie *

Ok well I'm not a fanboy.... anyway, I think that the Ps3 might have a crummy launch, but it will do good the next year or so.

Well be prepared to folk over six hundred bucks Thunder God.

A while ago it was expected to cost 499$ for the 40 GB version and 599$ for the 60GB version.

Then Gamespot said it would sell for 399$.

I assume this is in American money, so it will be more in Canada. But at this rate, probably not 600$.

That second gamespot article is from goddamn a year and a half ago.
It's going to be $599 in the state and the exchange rate between here and america is going to account for more than a dollar probably $650, so yeah you're going to pay more than $600.

Nah. Ps3 is totally getting butt raped right now. I think there's a time where people are going to get out of the habit of saying Ps3 for me for the fun of it and realize what they truly want. Not what they've supported. And it seems to me there are going to be a lot to turn the xbox side.

I also believe that the PS3 will have low sales at first but in the end i see Sony as the long term winners.
Personally i'll buy it but not before it's price drops considerably.My favourite titles are not going out until late 2007 anyway.
Until then i will have lots of PS2 and Wii games to play.

Its sad how a discussion in General Gaming about the PS3 is taken far more seriously is is conducted in a more civilized manner than anything in EoEO.

xD

I think all the fuss about the prices of the console and the games was just made up for promotion. They want to make a fuss about everything that has to do with the ps3, so everyone will talk about it, everyone will discuss sony's possible insanity and all that.

Hm. Personally, if I was working for Sony, I'd be quite upset about all the fuss concerning prices, etc. After all, no publicity is better than bad publicity, right? Although everyone is talking about the PS3 at the moment, the majority of the discussions are overhwhelmingly negative. That sort of publicity won't get people to buy consoles ... surely?

Actually, I think it does! For example, when Michael Jackson got accused of abusing children, his album sales went up 1000%. And that's not exactly positive promotion.

I still could be wrong though.
