Forums - Gaming Discussion - LOL Sony's lame/desperate attempt to grab more customers.

Theyre trying way too hard with this one...

With the Christmas selling season now in full swing, Sony has launched a diagram to explain to potential buyers what its PlayStation 3 console includes and what it would cost if the components were bought separately.

According to the Sony diagram, buying an equivalent MP3 player would cost £190, the CD player would be £90, the DVD player would be £49.99 and the Blu-ray player would be £299.99. This means the real cost of the £299 console's components, according to Sony, is a staggering £614.98.

A spokesman said: "For the run-up to xmas we noticed many people are unaware of what a PlayStation 3 can do. The PS3 is more than just a gaming console - PS3 actually provides an all-in-one home entertainment system.

"So... with this in mind we have just created the diagram "What A PlayStation 3 Can Do". The diagram helps to visually illustrate the PS3's capabilities."

I mean I love my PS3, great machine, but this is awful cringe stuff. The ps3 is the biggest mp3 player ever, i cant wait to take it on the bus with me

I mean the diagram in itself isnt too bad, but the receipt thing is pretty bad. For those of you who dont know how much £615 is, theyre trying to say a PS3 is worth $1,240.

not that bad...........if it was actually a all around player. They should really focus that its a GAME console, because thats what most people who buy it buy it for



                 With regard to Call of Duty 4 having an ultra short single player campaign, I guess it may well have been due to the size limitations of DVD on the XBox 360, one of various limitations multi-platform game designers will have to take into consideration-Mike B

Game trailers-Halo 3 only dissapointed the people who wanted to be dissapointed.

Bet with Harvey Birdman that Lost Odyssey will sell more then Blue dragon did.

How is that desperate?
