1/ what is the link between Sony and F1 ?? (plz)

2/ if sony drop the price = more lose for us them (lol) = very BAD

3/ no need of price cut

Sony is trying to make "understand" that next gen begin in 2009 with the 300$ PS3.

That is why they are so calm ... they are in the defensive/resistant phase.

Expect Sony/Xbox360 to be very close this Xmas (like last year)

 

 @ your point number 1. That is the most nieve comment Ive ever seen. The F1 financially has always been untouchable. F1 is WW. If the crunch is seriuosly about to affect that sport, it shows how the crunch is far worse than people realise. Price will be a huge factor over the next 2 years. Most analysts predict the worst (or lowest point of the crunch) to be midway through next year. The problems could be around for 2 years yet.

 

world wide outside of the states, you could have used gm pullingout of superbowl advertising. i know formula one airs in the states, but for the life of me i cant remember ever seeing it on in a sports bar, or ever watching ot on tv or knowing anyone who does.... i dislike nascar too, but i do know people who love i watch it and its on in sports bars.

so when dealing with the states, remember,we dont always have the same big fallowings of the rest of the world  (rugby kicks ass though)

 

on topic, sony cant aford it... they have already said in january 2009 is when manufacturing costs will be at 400 which means they will still be taking a loss on advertising and shipping and what not... march, they just have to ride it out till then, packins are the way to apear like a price drop with out lowering the price.

also ive brought this up in many threads how many people here are feeling the crunch were any of us denied a home loan or car loan, or were we fired from the banking industry? who here earns less than last year, or has had thier creditcards canceled by the companies that held them?
