Forums - Gaming - Edge Magazine takes on the PS3 chart

alfredofroylan on 12 January 2009

Remember the infamous PS3 value Chart that Sony released a few days ago:

Edge did a quite deep article about it. Some interesting thing:

An external SCEA PR rep from the agency Porter Novelli told us the company released the chart because they “thought it would be a good time just to remind everyone of our strong offerings,” which automatically implies that they feel people have either forgotten about the PS3’s inherent value or never seriously considered the PS3’s value, due to the higher price tag. It's highly likely that amidst this PS3 price-drop rumoring that Sony wanted to tell the core audience, "Hey, don't wait for a drop, it's a steal at $399, honest." I’d argue that today PS3 is a fine value, on par with Xbox 360, particularly for gamers in 2009, when it appears that Sony’s internal developers will really begin to bear fruit. Nevertheless, I’m glad I’m not the one that has to figure out how to get that value message across to consumers.

I said before and I'm said it again. This was a really bad idea from the begining.

That is by far the most awesome chart ever anywhere I dare anyone to find a better chart about anything anywhere. Simply not possible.

I didnt know that the PS3 didnt even come with HD cables out of the box. Isnt HD their main selling point and blue ray? Blue ray movies wont even look any different than dvd's without them. In essence, its worse than the Wii out of the box

It was dumb chart. The idea was stupid.

And snuggle the girls be they short or tall,
Then follow young Mat whenever he calls,
To dance with Jak o' the Shadows."

lol no. Do not get me wrong, I do not agree with the chart I just believe it is made of pure win. PS3 cheaper than 360 who saw that twist coming. Add to that the comments created in BengaBenga's news article= best chart ever.

how could it possibly be worse than the wii out of the box ? if it came with wires you had to create a cable out of yourself it wouldn't be worse than the wii out of the box. It's not le possible.
