Forget the price , this is the 3RD revision in 3 years!!!!!! Has sony learned nothing this gen?


Yeah, they didn't seem to learn the lesson from Sega, with the Sega CD, followed by the 32x, followed by promises of the "Neptune" and then the Saturn.

 

Not nearly as bad, as these are only revisions, but at this point, I'm sort of anticipating a PSP2, or another PSP1 revision, so even were I interested in the Go, I'd hold off, and buy, if anything, a DSi.

I can understand Sony's decision. They desperately need cash flowing into the gaming division to fund the PS3 albatross (they'll need to cut prices this year if they have any hope of selling 13 million as they forecast).

So the $250 / 250 € price is probably just a trial. If they can get a lot of money from that, great for them. If not, they'll just quickly cut prices and continue to bleed money or just not cut PS3 prices.

if the PSPgo takes of then it will sure offset any loss the PS3 could ever make



Nobody's perfect. I aint nobody!!!

Killzone 2. its not a fps. it a FIRST PERSON WAR SIMULATOR!!!! ..The true PLAYSTATION 3 launch date and market dominations is SEP 1st

Things that make you go HMMMM.

I was thinking that if were under $150, I might get one. After all, download is the way to go.
But the result is an expensive machine that does not seem to be able to do everything that is necessary to compete.

I like to jump around, and would lead a fairly serene and aimless existence if it weren't for my friends always getting into trouble. I love to help out, even when it puts me at risk. I seem to make friends with people who just can't stay out of trouble.

With a touch screen it would be just barely passable but without it, no thanks.

Just be glad they didn't introduce a slim PS3 for the low price of $599.

All kidding aside, its a sexy system but $50 too expensive imo.

ROFL!!!!


OT: I'll just sell my current PSPs



4 ≈ One

When Kaz Harai is on stage, you KNOW things are going to be expensive!



All the people complaining about the price: In Europe, it's gonna be 250€. That's like 370$. Ouch. I could buy Wii, Mario Galaxy, and Mario Galaxy 2 for less than that.



Wii has more 20 million sellers than PS3 has 5 million sellers.

So wait a minute. You guys bash the hell out of me for suggesting it was $250 or more because they removed the UMD drive? Now look! Wheres my cookie?

*hands a cookie to MonstaMack*

here you go!

On topic: To make matter worse, we still don't know if it's a touch screen or not. If it does not have the touch screen, what would be the value proposition to sell it against iPod touch?



MikeB predicts that the PS3 will sell about 140 million units by the end of 2016 and triple the amount of 360s in the long run.

250?

Oh please, sony is fucking stupid, thats outright phail on sonys part, if it was 149.99 i would have bought it again myself, but noooo raise the fuckin price why dont they?!
