You're 100% correct on FFVII and I had forgotten.  I skipped out of class as soon as Best Buy opened and grabbed FFVII day one.   I Didn't make it to class the rest of the week. What a great game.  Anyhow, Japan lately has been so front loaded that I still don't think the system increase will substantial for more than a couple weeks.

 You're looking at maybe a couple bucks.  I never said that these ideas would not cost anything.  They are low cost ideas that would increase the perceived value of the PS3 immensely.  Cutting the system by 100 dollars, which seems to be the consensus price cut that Sony needs to make to move more systems, that's how Sony will lose money.

They're too similar: shooter-platformers. They should do LBP-KZ2, to say "Look, it has a diverse library!"

You can't get much further apart than a piece of cotton jumping around on brightly coloured 2D scenery and a gritty, dark first person shooter with lots of gore and deep voiced aliens with orange eyes (I'm not insulting any of those four games, I love them all)
