| MikeB said: @ naznatips And what benefit have we seen from this? How many months has the PS3 been available? Do you realize some games take many years to complete? Final Fantasy XIII isn't a launch game just because they like to tease people!  Seriously it's foolish to judge the usefulness of Blu-Ray's storage based on currently available software. That would be like saying the PS2 wouldn't have benefitted from DVD's storage based on its launch game library (and believe me there were many people who criticized Sony for this at the time!) God of War 2 wasn't a launch PS2 game neither, if it would have been I would actually have bought a PS2.  |
The problem with the whole "just wait" thing is that is exactly what people are doing. Why pay $600 for something now when it won't be really put to use for a year or more? Just keep waiting until the price is $400 or less and FINALLY the games are at the level Sony has been promising. But, the longer people wait, the more 3ps start sweating and looking elsewhere. The less 3ps, the more gamers looking elsewhere which results in even fewer 3ps. It's a downward spiral that will continue until Sony resolves this. One of the biggest problems I see is that Sony needs more than just really awesome games. They need a massively lower price so that the huge # of people that bought the PS2 at $200 or lower will finally consider the PS3.
To cash in my CC rewards points for $300 in Circuit City gift cards to purchase a 360 or not: That is the question.
