I don't give a rats butt about Blu-ray, I just bought a 20 inch LCD 720p HDTV. In order to view Blu-ray movies you need a 1080p HDTV. I don't have the money and I can care less again on the Blu-ray format. On the games side, I still see no reason for a purchase. FFXIII is way far away for being released and MGS4 is getting ready to come out. If MGS4 doesn't do enough good sales then the PS3 is questionable on the future and winning 2nd place.
Right now Sony really do need to rethink their strategy as on the gaming side. Microsoft has done a good job at keeping a regular DVD player in the 360. Because they know millions if not millions, trillons of people have a DVD player and know about a DVD player. Blu-ray is new and questionable. On a gaming side its good as far as storage. But having a Blu-ray player now and having to own a 1080p TV just to look at Blu-ray movies is rather gay.
I will continue to be on standby and not warrant a purchase on the PS3. I don't even have a desire to even trade in my 360 for a PS3. Now that is sad considering I stuck with the PS brand since PS1 and PS2 and PSP. PS3 is just a questionable console in my opinion. |
First, there are only six billion people in the world trillion is over 999 billion so that comment is wrong. Also, this conversation is not about the blu-ray format. This is about whether the bc is a dealbreaker for the price to be dropped. The question is do you care that it does not have bc. Whether or not Blu-Ray or HD-DVD will win is unknown. And whether or not YOU see the reason for a purchase does not matter. This price is for the person (me) who was not on the fence of buying it but didn't have the money to pay for it now that the new model has came out (hopefully to the america's with the $399 price tag) I will definetly take that price and buy that PS3. Why would anyone trade a 360 for a PS3? We all know 360 (for now) has the games and has a better public opinion but I believe this price may help some consumers. |
Who knows if Sony releases a $400 bundle. Everyone kept saying 400...400...It ended up being 400 euros. First I was stating my opinion on the Blu-ray subject so really you can STFU! seriously. Now on to your buying. I can care less about your purchase. Your not the mass market, so you buy what you buy. I'm saying that at a price of $400 for no BC in it, thats a shame. Thats one of the reasons why PS2 sold so well. Games wasn't out like that at the begining of the PS2 lifecycle. But when everyone knew it could play PS1 games, sales went skyrocket and people had no choice but to buy the PS2. It was a PS brand name, DVD player, PS1 games, and avaliable at a measly price of $300. So really I see the reason PS2 was so damn successful. Buy what you buy. I'm just a little worried that the $400 your using will be $400 down the drain. But again my opinion and its your opinion against mine. Happy $400 40GB PS3 hunting. 8)Â |
Maybe it was just me but when I bought my PS2, I didn't care about backwards compatablility. I bought mine in October of 2003 when granted, there were a lot of pS2 games out ther but at that point in time, I didn't have money to go and buy games from the PS1 era to play on my PS2. I hardly ever used my PS2 for PS1 games. It didn't make sense to buy a PS2 to play PS1 games. If people are going to be playing PS2 games so much, they should not buy a PS3 then. If the bc is so important then you (not you W29, just people who are still on this bc subject) are still in the last gen and don't need a next-gen system. I just don't understand what the whole problem with no bc is, I still cannot understand it. Just play your PS2 until you are done playing it then buy a PS3 then... It's not that serious people.
