here is my big problem with this whole thing.
1. With GT5:P the majority of copies sold will be blu-ray copies, not PSN downloads. I feel like as the Prologue has never come out in America before, a lot of people are going to see GT5:P and go, "OMG! GT5 is out, mam, can I please have a copy of that" People are going to think Prolouge is a suffix like A-Spec was. They are going to get home, they are going to install all 5GB and not know how to deleate the 3GB of movies. Very few people are going to download this, maybe 10% of consumers I feel like.
2. Most people will not go change out a HDD. People have always associated console gaming as buying a set unit and having to change parts out like a PC. They aren't going to even realize what is wrong and just live with the problem of a full HDD.
3. People who bought the 40GB are going to get pissed off and this isn't good at Sony. PS3 was $600 orignally, now its $400, a lot of people have jumped on the $400 price point. Now in a year, when their HDD is full and they are intelligent enough consumers to realize the problem, they are going to say I paid $400 for this now I need a $100 HDD, wow! I just got screwed by Sony, I'll think twice before buying their products again.

1. no the prologue versions of each game has come out before in america. 2. gamers aren't that stupid 3. most people who bought the 40GB model use it only for Blu-ray movies. |
2. That's an example of the kind of attitude which drives many people away from the PS3. 3. Oh is it? I think I remember ioi saying that about 40% of PS3s purchased nowadays in USA are the 40 GB model, are you saying that almost 40% of PS3's recent userbase don't use it for gaming? Got any sources? |
2. it also drives away people from the 360 too then. Microsoft charge $60 more then it needed to on a 120GB HDD was rather pointless.
3. Please see homemediamagazine.com's current Blu-ray vs HD-DVD market share cart. The 40GB PS3 was the cheapest Blu-ray payer when released.
