They are having some sort of plan.. with the 40gb they want people to buy the ps2.

Great article. I don't know if he's right about the cost of the chips, but that's a minor detail. This part was absolutely spot on:

Well, that's just another splendid example of how Sony's functioning now....or rather not. Just don't really understand why people diss the author, when he didn't go into any sales figures. All he did was write down cold, solid facts....and maybe two or three assumptions.

Oh yeah, saying "want BC? pay more, if u no have money then work ya bum" is one of the most idiotic statements that could've been spouted. So yeah, Hus is being his usual self. But please, forcing people to buy the more expensive version to just get BC. That's really saying a lot about Sony right now. That is dissing customers right there.

 Ok, maybe "clueless" was a bit harsh... BUT, I actually work in the semiconductor industry and I am quite certain that they are getting way more than 1000 die per 12" wafer...  That said, even if it WAS $10/unit in quantity that adds up, but it is a feature that a lot of people want and I don't think it was in Sony's best interest to remove a $10 chip to reach their price point.  As I mentioned above, the Broadway in the Wii is easily more powerful than the Playstion equivalent and is 19 square millimeters...  That is a LOT of die on a 12" wafer...

Do you ever have anything positive to say?  You come to the Sony board just to find something to bitch about, you're like a broken CD on repeat...

Everything you say is one bitch post after another.... one would think you would find something more constructive to do with your time.

I get it you people are huge sony haters but enough with the stupidity.

Get BC and pay more ($500 like me) or dont get it and pay less(400) something all of you complained about for ever, the high price. You want function a you pay for it, you don't want it you don't pay for it. Its called consumer choice.

Do you need bc ?

You don't have to say anything nice, but make you complaint intelligent. All you do is bitch with little reasoning or thought behind it.

Why is bc so important to you, if it is why don't you just get the PS3 with bc.

Is this a joke post?

Sony have done plenty of things. They are introducing new IP's to gaming, taking High Definition to the next level, lowering costs as much as possible and have a very exciting gaming lineup ahead.

Microsoft for example kept producing knowingly faulty 360's for 2 ****ing years before they admitted there was even a hardware problem and decided to fix it and still charged full price for the product. Nintendo ducktaped 2 Gamecubes together, added Waggle and called it their next gen console.

See what I did there? I focused on all the negatives. It's very easy to do that if your mind is closed before you even enter the thread or discussion. You should try getting some air, maybe it will assist in you opening your eyes and mind to being more accepting.

^ So that makes your posts more intelligent than mine (please say yes and let's get this charade over with)? Because when i see someone writing stfu in a post as a way to express one's attitude and personal beliefs, yeah, i think "that's so intelligent of him". Haw.
