 I doubt they would choose a Warner Brothers film, if they are going that way I expect them to pick something that they make.

Allright make a 40 gb 299.99 psthree slim with a power brick and with no b/c with 2 usb ports and it comes with one dualshock and an hdmi cable and the official sony headset and all other cables and it comes in black, white, and silver with 5 bluray movies

Make a 80 gb 399.99 model regular size with all of the above but with full b/c and bluray remote in only black and memory readers and 4 usb ports.

Finally make a 160 gig for 499.99 with all of the 80 gig stuff but with a high profile game and a major psn free downloadable game have this come out early february right before killzone 2 and have home released with it as well as having update 3.00 have the exact same features as xbox live and i mean exactly! not half-assed!

If they do this then they should outsell the xbox by the end of Q2 next year i.e. E3 2009

also i forgot to say have a built in ps/ps2 memory card slot on the two latter models.

wasn't Warner Brothers Film the first besides Sony Pictures to move to Blu Ray exclusive?

You can't just switch controllers after the standard has already been set. That will have to wait until Sony's next system.

As for the controller never changing, I imagine their logic was pretty simple - If it ain't broke, don't fix it. This does indeed work, for a while...

Some people seem to not understand :

Sony can't drop the price, it costs them too much !!!

They have to increase the value of the console !



Time to Work !

Switch to a wired controller instead of Bluetooth.
Make the drive tray-loading or pop-up(like the PS2 slim) instead of slot.
Switch to regular buttons instead of those fancy schmancy touch sensity marks.
Switch to a basic matte-plastic case instead of glossy.
Take the power supply out, and use a brick like the 360.
Two USB ports.
No optical out (not very realistic).

Not one of those solution will reduce the cost by much at all...All together it would do more damage in PR than the cost it would safe by miles.
