PS3 Price Up In The Air, Demos In 02/2006

Gamespot is reporting that the price for Sony's next-gen console is still something being worked out. Additionally, we're not going to get the chance to play demos for the system until February of 2006. From the article: "When asked why there were no playable PS3 games at the 2005 Tokyo Game Show, as previously promised by SCE president Ken Kutaragi, Saeki revealed that there was a long discussion inside Sony before the show opened. While many executives argued that it would be good for the public to play demos, eventually the decision was made to only show E3-style trailers, as it was the first time the PS3 was being shown publicly in Japan. When asked if there would be any changes to the February PS3 event where playable demos will be on hand, Saeki did not respond directly. However, he did say that SCE is planning something for the event that is sure to be a 'major' surprise. "

    Additionally, we're not going to get the chance to play demos for the system until February of 2006.

    Actually, the article didn't even come close to saying that. It said:

    That could mean there will be demos sooner, or that you won't even get demos in February. It doesn't mean what the summary says.

    Can we mod this article as "Troll"?
