They had multiple commercials every week for one of the highest rated cable tv shows, especially in the 18-35 demographic. So they obviously targeted there marketing on channells and shows that fit their game demographic. They didn't blanket market over all of the channels.
We all know the oil companies have price fixed gas for years, but never been convicted. Are you saying that every major game shop/retail store for the most part just thinks that they should sell the ps3 for 399. why do you think they never give a discount, but will through in a game or two. Thats because they know that Sony would say,hmm you might not get the discount you got before if you don't sell it for that price. While I am sure you have much knowledge of retail, unlike me, who has m...
ps3 399 everywhere.
I live in america. I work in a Golf Shop. We have companies forcing us to price there products all the time. Ever wonder why a certain driver costs the same everywhere, or for that matter how games seem to cost the same everywhere. It is common practice in America. I am not sure what the rules in europe are, but to act like Msoft is the only one doing this is retarded. I mean look at the price of the wii everywhere 249 i wonder if they set the price or if it is free market pricing, yeah...
I went to bestbuy.com and found an hp with a quad core processore, and 8gb of ram, and 500 gig hard drive for 1899.99 so I don't know where these guys got there rigs from but I found way more powerfull machines than the ones he rated on here.
I hate that they always make it out like ooh wii sports solld 44 million. Um no they didn't they were given away with the console. Its not like you can buy a wii without it for 200 so to me that is gay. Also wii play come on you buy it with a controler. Wii sucks ps3 rulez
Because all of the games on ps3 are 1080p and 60fps, oh wait almost all are 720p, so don't give me that oh its the 360 fault.
That is exactly what happened to me, went to a friends house and thougth wow bowling is so cool. Went out and bought one and wii play, galaxy, cart, and a couple of others. I play every once in a while with my wife or my niece for like 20 minutes and then get board. I have a few friends that did the same.
I must say I just rented the game, and it is not for me, but I can see how people love it.
The average income in China is much much higher. Yes there is a big group that could be considered slave labor, or work out in the farming areas of china, but in the big cities you see so many new cars, so your 250 a month quote holds no water, new high rise buildings, consumer electronics, computers, so sorry moron, you don't know what your talking about. If China is one of the new economic leaders, then the diff between 99 and 199 is minimal. If they are buying flat screen tv's which the...
Lets see, China, would rather buy old tech, and by that I mean sh!t graphics, than buy a next gen hd device to play games. That is such an idiotic post. Anyone buying a ps2 is an idiot. How sad that 99 dollar ps2 is a big deal for a company that continues to lose money as a whole. hahah that is rich. I love my ps3 but come on thats like saying I will buy a non hd tube tv for 99 when I could buy a 42 inch lcd for 199 haha you sony boys are dorks.
As soon as someone proves to me that man is more powerful than mother earth, then maybe I will do something. I am not saying that man doesn't help the process but come on any geologist will tell you we have always had fluctuation in our environment. In the 50's they said the next ice age was hear. It is just when anyone wants to get something done they try and scare you. 10 years ago they predicted the seas would rise so much that Florida would be under water. Guess what they said it wou...
Actually no they didn't post a loss. 8.9 billions shares outstanding, and 1.88 net profit per share idiot. Can you at least do math. geez the ignorance on this site astounds me. Msft has not posted a loss that I can ever remember. As a stockholder that gets yearly reports I think I would know when they actually lost money. Your thinking of Sony.
Actually any console returned to Best buy gets returned to Microsoft during the initial 1st year warranty, after that they pay to have it refurbished, so yes they still know that. Also lets not forget that microsoft extended the warranty to 3 years. And like I said anyone who wouldn't do one or the other is an absolute idiot. Remember alot of these things were bought by parents for kids, and I bet you they took it back.
Unless you are a moron, you didn't buy another one. There may have been a few, but lets see, during the initial 1 year warranty, and if you were smart and got the 3 year from best buy, then you not only got a new one for free, you also got a price guarantee for those years as well so I got a 100 dollar gift card with it. So if you bought a new one shame on you.
I am not sure about that. Honestly, I bought my PS3 about 2 months ago. I have had a 360 for a while, and I must admit until I purchased my PS3 I was a bit of a 360 fanboy. I loved Uncharted, and there is no doubt that Kilzone graphics were incredible. For some reason I felt like I was playing it inside a box, like the view I had was not the full screen view. The controls were sluggish compared to others in the genre, and I know they were supposed to be more realistic. I rented it from...
A bailout, you must be 12, I know only turning billions in profit during an economic downturn shows they need help. What a moron.
We sell about the same amount of ps3 to pro 360's
Well actually we, and as we, I mean the gamestop I work at in Billings Montana, we sell at a ratio of about 65 percent pro, 30 percent arcade, and 5 percent elite. So unless you have numbers, shut up.
Well the flaw you have in your argument is that the first one you took back to gamestop was also sent back to microsoft. Gamestop didn;t just throw the console away, they were re=emberced by microsoft with a new machine, that is how companies work. Trust me they don't just eat the machine. i took my launch system back to best buy under warranty, they didn't throw it away. I worked right next to the best buy and I asked the manager what they do with them. He told me the company sends it b...
