E3 - Sony Drops PS2 To $149, Shows PSP, Hints At PS3

JSDopefish writes "Not much of a surprise, but Sony announced today at their E3 press conference that they're lowering the price of the PlayStation 2 console to $149, including the network adapter. That matches the already in-place $149 price of the Xbox system. The GameCube remains at $99." Elsewhere, jasoncart writes "Sony has just unveiled their Playstation Portable specs to the enthralled masses at their pre-E3 conference in LA. The result is the first photographs of the new device (alt. link), confirmation of the impressive specifications (Wi-Fi ahoy!) and hints on the games we'll be playing on the PSP, including 'clips of Gran Turismo... Wipeout [and] Metal Gear Solid'." 1UP also discusses mentions of the PlayStation 3 in the press conference, including "some rather grand predictions for the future of Sony's game console efforts."

    Poor microsoft... they'll have to lower the price of the xbox *again*... pretty soon it won't be making money, and it'll just be a big black hole for gates to dump his excess cash into. I feel his pain... wait, no, that's just heartburn from the taco I had for lunch. =]

    Obviously you are a rank amateur. Please, when you see a professional troll at work, simply watch and learn. Do not interject your amateurish two cents as it ditracts from the professionals work and is utterly useless. Perhaps an apprenticeship under a profesional troll is what you need but, so long as you maintain your current amateur standing, STFU! YHBT! N00b!!
