is the 5 free movie deal still in effect...plus they just added DTS HD master audio to the PS3...so in effect it is THE best bluray player and the best price...with GTA4....and a nice looking PSN store too boot...and sony still has not played all its cards yet....do not forget Playstation Home.
Unless microsoft comes out today or tommorrow and announces a GTA4 bundle shipped from microsoft...then it aint gonna look as good as what sony just did. Microsoft lost this round....they have a chance with Gears of War 2...lets hope they put that game on 2 DVDs so we can get some depth to the single player campain...
$50 for the Xbox live membership...plus $99 for the wireless adapter..
You can get the 40 GB PS3, plus GTA4 game, plus dualshock 3 for maybe $399 total, which includes wifi, free PSN network access, full bluray (including DST HD master audio)
Why do I say $399 for it all..because the MGS4 bundle is $499 with the 80GB pS3 and dualshock 3 and the MSG4 bluray game.
Can the Xbox 360 play bluray movies? NO
Does the Xbox 360 have built in wifi? NO
<...
A real sony box with GTA4 graphics on the outside and a PS3 40 Gb with GTA4 bluray game disc on the inside...That is a true manufacturer bundle...just like the GT5 prologue and MGS4 bundles...Sony knows how to do bundles..
This bundle along with the MGS4 bundle in June will sale out...you will see millions of PS3 sold in the next 4 months...
You still gots to pay some tax though...but this is cheaper than the amazon.com deal. which is $54.79
but the walmart price is still the cheapest on the whole internet...They also sale the cheap sixaxis for $39.99
Also you got to remember everybody in the sun who has a PS3 or is going to get one will get a Dualshock 3 for GTAIV....
With in the next 60 days. I know people who have actually seen it...
Sony you are the man!!!
Thank you for DTS HD Master Audio!!!
In game XMB is coming soon i feel it!
Thank you sony!
The Store Rocks too!!
They exist but are not available to the public yet..

Bluray will never be stuck at the current 50GB...there will be 100 GB and 200 GB discs....DVD will never get to these capcitiy levels..neither will Digital Distribtution...How are you going to download a 50GB movie....100 Gb movie? 200 GB movie?
No you will never...even if you have (2) 1 tb drives in your computer....you will never have a terrabyte drive in your xbox 360...even with a 15 meg download connection...it will take hours to download a 50GB 1080p movie...
Warhawk supports home, and they will announce GTA4 will support home.
So home will be released in open beta form around the same time as the New PSN Store is released...
That is my prediction...
If they band his...its only the one he showed in the video...
He is probably in the beta if he actually logged into home...
Red Ring of Death...it still haunts them...33 percent failure rate...that is huge...there should have been a complete recall.
Vista sucks...they are fixing it but it will never be a popular OS....Windows 7 is not rumored to be comming out next year...that makes Vista like Microsoft Millenium...
There is only 1 must have microsoft game comming out this year...Gears of War 2...all others are just window dressings..
Come on people...the Wii could not even run this game anywhere near as good and the Xbox 360 and PS3....The wii is stuck in the games it has now..plus the online component of the wii is flawed at best.
But do not forget Wii fit...that will sell at least 10 million copies in the USA alone...so nintendo will be ok.
The PS3 at 21.5 million by end of year.
The Xbox 360 at 23 million by end of year.
They are waiting of each other. there will be a $299 PS3 by Christmas 2008...you can bet on it..
And sony is heavy into DD...look at GT5 Prolouge, Socom Confrontation, Warhawk...all three are available on bluray and downloadable from the PSN store....Has microsoft done this yet? No...If microsoft was so pro digital distribution...then they would have released Halo 3 or Gears of War 2 on DVD and downloadable form...
Who is the real visionary here? Sure xbox live is doing ...
Why come people can not be patient...sony has to do this right....its all gonna go down by end of summer..
People wanted the PSN store as a built in app and to look pretty work work fast...sony did it..(or we shall see in two weeks)
People want home...sony will release it in open beta form real soon
People wanted divx\xvid...sony delivered
People want in game xmb...sony will deliver
People want support for DTS-HD Master Audio...sony will deliver this...
Why? because key games have home integration...Warhawk, Resistance...even GTA4...and probably Metal Gear Solid 4 and HAZE...probably every game released after GTA4...
The beta will be an open beta...and the final version will come out in late summer or early fall...but HOME will be a work in progress...just like the PSN network. Home will be hot...and every other console maker will try to make something like home...but they will fail...sony has been working on home over over 3 ...
High Velocity Bowling
Folding@home
Both have ingame music...
Microsoft does not have a lock on access to the XMB during a game...the XMB is all Sony...Microsoft wishes it had a XMB interface... Sony has a patent on that though...probably....
Come on now 60 player online
8 way co op
Multiple campaines...
Nothing on the PC, Xbox 360 or anywhere else has this kind of setup...and you know it will be using the lastest and greatest streaming engine...Resistance 1 did not even use streaming textures..
Also it will be a 50 GB game too, something not even possible on the Xbox 360...or even for the PC yet for that matter.
All you need to do is a get a nice new receiver that supports HDMI and 7.1...the PS3 will decode everything.
