See EA aren't evil like Activison, they are happy for Sony's success because they know it means good things for them, especially with FIFA coming in October

I can assure you Activision is also happy for the price cut ;)

I didn't jknow Slim was going to have such a large hdd. I thought it would probably have a 40 for $299, but that is awesome news indeed!

We all know why MS is phasing out pro (because 60gb is not really enough space to install ffxiii and probably mgsraiden in PS3 quality and blu-ray disc size for those games).

arr crap, I see too many of your posts, I'm probably gonna have to install word of wisdom's firefox app :x

Well of course they are, but the way that they felt like they could demand a price cut... they are evil, but that is a different point

Of course he loves it, Madden just released.

It's offical...come a ps3 bundle with madden? I think: No..


Huh?

Madden releases on 8/14.

PS3 gets price reduced by $100 on 8/18.

PS3 experiences big increase in sales.

More potential customers for EA.

 

Every developer is loving that PS3 got a price reduction, now their potential consumer base will expand.

Business is ugly... I see Activision's statements as putting pressure on Sony and simultaneously making themselves look influential, as they probably knew the price cut was likely to come anyway.

      Go ahead, but I'm telling the truth.  If you go by the size of the demo for FFXIII with the Advent Children blu-ray, then combine that with information that Tomonubo Itagaki gave in 2005 about how much space it would have taken to put DOA movies in the quality he would have preferred on DoA's 360 installment, then you come up with the fact that FFXIII either has to be compressed to at least half the size and quality of the PS3 version on 360 which Square has said isn't going to occur (in their most recent statements they've said it would be the same), that it would require a ton of disc swapping as many people have complained about Star Ocean 4, or take up 60 gigs of space to install to the 360's hdd.

@MidnightRider85

The SO4 complaint wasn't that it had mutiple discs, it was that it was so poorly made that everytime you wanted to backtrack (ie: When doing sidequests, item collecting, etc...) you had to swap discs for each planet you had to visit.

So if I had to visit 4 planets for one quest that takes me 10 minutes that would be a disc swap every 2.5 minutes. Suppose I went to the wrong planet on accident and then go to the correct one that would be 2 swaps in less than a minute.

It was very irritating for people who like to explore and complete the sidequests.

I wonder how activison will react probably something like "Well we commanded Sony drop its price and they did what we told them...so with new price of ps3, both DJ Hero and Tony Hawk Ride will now be released with new 199$ price, plus at least 5 gh and 1 cod game each year, and any Activision employee who dares to creat a new music or fps IP will be fired then sued." Something like that.

fixed.
