Don't Count Sony Out Yet
Eurogamer is hosting a GamesIndustry.biz article, an editorial that wants readers to make sure not to write Sony off yet. From the article: "Even if Sony is failing to endear itself to the media, to analysts or to gamers at the moment, that's no reason for the reality of the next generation console battle to be ignored. Judging from reports in the past fortnight, it would be easy for an outside observer to assume that it's all over already; the media paints a picture of Microsoft being victorious before the first shot is even fired, with Sony's overloaded battlecruiser set to sink before it even leaves port."
After the infamous ROOTKIT incident, I'm not interested in giving Sony a dime ever again.
Judas, give the guy a break. Now the sony fanbois are using the "You should make more money, so you could buy one too" line?
Sounds like they're getting wound up. What's next, blackmailing us? I make a pretty good living for being in the US. I have the normal stuff like a car payment, rent, 401k, and I'll have a hard time fronting the money for this because it's a minimum $900 purchase before I walk out of the store (A couple games, a few controllers, etc).
Stop posting this crap in every PS3 thread. 1080p over component does not exist, and several of your other points may not exist either.
I'd just like to point out for you all the previous prices for Sony consoles: PS2 release -> $600 Yeah, you remember when it first came out right? $600, system only, one controller, no memory card. Games were a good $60 a pop, and so was the frickin' memory card! Oh, here's the fun one... PSX original release, only in Sony Stores -> $600 I like that myself. I just love how no one remembers the fact that *all* of the Playstations in the past (save PSP, but that thing doesn't count anyway, it's a glorified portible DVD player) have been in the neighbourhood of $600. I can also remember a few PS2 games in recent memory that cost roughly $70 (well, $69.99 + tax). I don't see why people complain about the price. Personally, I'll wait until the second batch so they catch any exploders.
