^hes not very bright for a cat

Is it so wrong of me to want something that just plays games? I already have an iPod, DVD player, MP3 stereo setup (much cleaner than the PS3's setup), three computers, and a much nicer photo-viewing setup. The only things left are games and Blu-ray and I don't give a shit about Blu-ray.

I really hate these kind of comparisons. They're always bullshit.

Stupid things require stupid answers...   Well, I think we can safely say that your answer was indeed very stupid. I thought it was obvious that I was just making a parody of a stupid argument, don't be so defensive guys. It is however true that they didn't add any cost for the gaming part, which strikes me as odd in an advertisement for a gaming platform.   The PS3 is much more than just a simple gaming platform.

And that is why it is failing

Wii is failing too if you look at your sig.

 Not at all, its well on its way to fulfilling my predictions, but Sony needs to give up this dream of convergence if it ever wants a chance at regaining the market

Much hasn't been released about it yet, but as you can tell from the add below they may be getting rid of the PSP all together and just focusing on one system.

Wooow...did you find this joke ad or did you make this one on your own? Either way, that is hilarious! And you know what is funny?....I might actually buy that at that price....no joke.

Is it really so hard for you to not be a jerk?

Did you ever even stop for one moment to think that not everyone has the same kind of setup you do or that those features might actually be useful to them? Is it really that hard of a stretch to avoid being so blatantly narrowminded as your post is portraying you and imagine that there are a lot of people who can and do benefit from those extra features?

I'm glad you were able to drop what looks like $1,500+ on your electronics and they provide all the stuff the PS3 does and more, but don't forget that not everyone can and will do that. The PS3 may not be best-in-class at many of the "extras" it provides, but it at least provides them so that it can be useful even when people aren't gaming with it.

If you don't feel the PS3 and all its features are worth the money then don't buy one. The people who feel otherwise will, but don't insult the console just because you personally don't have a use for its features.

Zzzzzzzzzzzzz...

I just bought a Dell laptop for $500.  The joke is on dell, because I calculated the value of all of its functionality and it's worth over $4,000:

Tyepwriter - $50 

DVD player - $100

CD player - $200

MP3 player - $400

Solitare - $500

Minesweeper - $600

Spreadsheet / Full Internet Machine - $1000

HDTV w/ ATSC tuner - $1150

I just put it together from this thread.  I couldn't help myself :).
