Why would i jump off of a ship?

To swim with the dolphins.


I don't think dolphins would like me. I love seafood.

What if Sony launches a PS3 Go for $599 without Blu-ray drive?

They've already pretty much confirmed that's not happening...

The chances of sony launching a console at a ridiculous price again are slim to none so I really dont know how to respond. It also depends on exactly what the competition offers.

"WAR is a racket. It always has been.

It is possibly the oldest, easily the most profitable, surely the most vicious. It is the only one international in scope. It is the only one in which the profits are reckoned in dollars and the losses in lives"---Maj. Gen. Smedley Butler

I'd wait a while for a price drop.



i did it with the ps3 and i wont do it again

But it will be smaller and have digital downloads!



Anyone can guess. It takes no effort to throw out lots of predictions and have some of them be correct. You are not and wiser or better for having your guesses be right. Even a blind man can hit the bullseye.

Back when the ps3 first came out, I was in high school and 600 dollars was a leg and an arm.

even now, I doubt i would pay anything more than 300. 200 would be a great price but probably not possible.



Price didn't hurt the PS3. 20 GB PS3 was only $100 more expensive than 20 GB 360. And I'm pretty sure even then the $300 Core was selling a lot less than the $400 Premium since there isn't a whole lot you can do on live without a hard drive and live is a big selling point for the 360. And that doesn't include paying extra for a charging kit/rechargeables and live membership. Sony needs to develop a console that is easy to develop for and they can't let Microsoft get a year head start on them again. That's why the PS3 was lagging behind. If you don't make your console attractive to third-party developers, you're giving away the software advantage. PS2 was difficult to develop for (not as much as PS3 though) but Sony got away with their arrogance because 1) Sega was too tiny to compete, 2) Microsoft still had to get their foot in the door at the time. You can't build a brand over night. Especially when Sony had a year head start. and 3) Nintendo only had children and Nintendo fanboys (or at least people who love Nintendo IPs enough to not go without a Nintendo console) going for them at the time. Didn't get their groove back until they hit the jackpot with new gaming demographics (girls and women, middle-aged and senior adults, etc.)



IF it launches at an insane price? I don't think there's much doubt that it'll be incredibly expensive, at least at launch.



what would an insane price be? depending on how you value $ it may or may not be insanly priced.
