Am I the only one who thinks $400 is still expensive?

Nah ... Sony wants us to think paying $399 for a BR player that plays games - but not PS1 or PS2 games - is great, but if they added BC, I would consider it. However, based on the current offering of games, no, it's not worth it.

Look at the Wii's lineup and look at the 360's lineup - stellar. The PS3 lineup? Not so much. So, kids will fool their parents into buying one because most kids on their block have them - or they see Playstation and are totally uninformed ... or they want a cheap BR player.

Sony can't offer a PS3 with BC for that cheap - and it's killing them. It's their own fault to bet the bank on BR - and use their console and brand to push it. SMH at this decision ...

40GB PS3s play ps1 games.

also, game lineups are subjective. what you find "stellar" someone else might find lacking, or simply adequate. As it stands, the Wii has the least number of highly ranked games (games ranked over 80, according to critics) out of any current gen system while the ps3 lacks "AAA" games (again according to critics).

After reading posts like this it seems some of you have unsettled business with Sony. I'm really wondering what they did as a company to be the focal point of so much negativity.
