They're reducing to be competitive with other retailers, and £5 is worth more than $5.
When Kinect's finally priced (let's just assume it's $150), you'll see retailers cut the RRP to, say, $140 to secure your preorder. It's how business works. Nothing to do with preorders.
I'm not particularly surprised. I always anticipated people would buy into the Natal hype, even if it didn't deliver (showfloor reaction has been more positive towards Move by some way).
But I don't really care about sales too much. If Move sells enough to get software support, then I'm in. Move looks fantastic. Already pre-ordered mine.
That's what's cool though. I agree with you, I'd rather spend the money to get the Navi too. But for those who don't want/can't afford to, there's another option for them.
Sorcery demoed better and more accurately in a real game-world experience than any Wii demo I've ever seen -- including Zelda.
If Microsoft release a controller, it's like an admission of failure. Especially now this is in the public space. They have to stick with what they've got now.
I still think the Move tech is sensational. The writing is SO smooth.
Actually, to clarify, we didn't get one. However, if we did, I'd be giving it away to our readers.
If that's your opinion then that's fair. I'm not going to try and disprove it.
I think Twiggy's been fair in his discussion here, but you're free to criticise the source if you wish.
No, I'd be writing the exact same thing. It was cheap. I know companies give out samples to the games press. That's what they do. I believe when the PlayStation 3 Slim was announced - Sony visited a number of high-profile publications and gave them a system.
But the way they gave every single audience member a console, and the way the announcement was delivered was bordline unethical. It was also the only announcement to raise any sort of cheers on the entire night. A...
This game has come on leaps and bounds. Very impressed.
Good call. I expect The Getaway would be more likely than Eight Days.
I think just from the amount they showed on GTTV, and the way they had a big conference for the press recently, we can only expect Killzone 3 as part of a montage.
We'll get more Killzone 3 at GamesCom in my opinion.
It's an MMO.
Stop buying into the hype then. Also, the Killzone 3 trailer and SOCOM was the news.
Shouldn't we wait and see them first, before we decide how people will react?
No source for this story. Complete bogus speculation.
But - you'd be - empty handed? Huh?
It has nothing to do with adoption though. The 3D is a game changer because it's, going by early impressions, going to show what's possible for 3D games. That's game changing.
Also, his comment about adoption is moot. You need good, quality content to get people to adopt a technology. Killzone 3 will help push adoption, no matter how small.
It's 2007 again?
