Why'd you get banned, friend? Get a little kooky during E3?

It happened around here, too.

I think I can see the angle Sony is shooting for. They drop the PS2 compatibility completely from the 40GB as an entry level for those still iffy about price, and then drop the price of the PS2 to $99. That way, if they really want to play PS2, they can still get it for only a C note.

I'm guessing that perhaps dropping some ports and the backwards compatibility will drop manufacturing costs, but if I was a guessing man, I'd say they will still be losing money. A necessary evil, I'm afraid. How else can you counter huge Christmas lineups for the Wii and 360?

Yeah, I agree DD, there is absolutely no way, PS3 will counter against the Wii and 360 lineup. Its freaking amazing.

I keep hearing this but the only games i know to be 'must haves' on those two systems are brawl, galaxy, pgr4 and mass effect, which isn't exactly a long line. meanwhile sony has a gran turismo, socom and singstar coming with uncharted playing new must have IP and a whole lot of 'should buys' that won't sell systems but will leave people happy with their purchase. [haze, ut3, racftod and multiplatforms like CoD4, Orange box, etc].

 So... yea, what hit games are coming for 360/wii that i don't know about?

 

 

Well, considering that most likely Halo or just SSBB will outsell every ps3 game this holiday is something you should consider. Its not about how many, its how big. If it was how many, wii would wtf pwn. In terms of size, Ratchet and clank is the only proven IP with socom to come out next year, and GT is just the pro.

You throw in games like PGR 4, Mass effect, bioshock, etc, super mario galaxy, metroid prime etc, and you see much more BIGGER games are coming out.
