If anything it's a good thing. Yeah next month were gonna start seeing the headlines "PS3 struggles to keep pace" and so on.
But with 600,000 units out there, there is more word of mouth advertasment that can only help the PS3. Think about how, there are not 10.5 million Hardcore 360 fans or 6.5 hardcore wii fans around the world, But why are there a lot of units sold? Word of Mouth.
Drops in PS3 sales are gonna drop next month and thats pretty much ...
rejoice in the beginning of good things still to come.
all you gotta do is swap out the HDD for another 2.5 HDD and BAM!!!!
80 gig , 100gig, 150gig, PS3.
IT's that easy boys and girls.
For only 3 easy payments of $99.99 I can do it myself.
Just put money in an envelop and send to me.*
*If you don't receive service within 2-3 weeks don't call me I'll call you.
If it can be done to help something as serious as AIDS then by all means, let it be done. Now weather or not 360 fans what to do it is up to them. Because most 360 fans on this site were badmouthing the Folding program when the PS3 was running so who knows if they will do it?
but why is it a bad thing when a consumers can cancel a pre-order at a store that they might've thought was their only way to secure a system
and go pick up a system somewhere were they are more secure nabbing up a system.
Like me for example I waited in front of a local Best Buy to grab up a second system when I already had a System Pre-ordered at a Gamestop.
Why? cause I was told by the store manager that they were not gonna get the alotted shipment once first ...
Next stop #1 for a record 3 generations.
My PS3 is helping cure cancer, while Folding won't even run on the 360.
Or if it did it would take the 360 a month what the PS3 can do in 8 hours.
Not only am I folding, am playing Motorstorm, God of war 2, NBA 2K7, VF5 browsing the net, storing picture on my harddrive and watching next-gen format Blu-Ray movies on my system. Yeah why did i Spend $600 dollars to have so much fun. Damn you Sony for giving Sony consumers a great deal.
True 360 has exclusive and will get exclusive that the PS3 will never get but the same can be said for the PS3. Game like FF and MSG are only gonna get better with the addition of Blu-ray disc. These game are all about long gameplay and big time cinematics. Even if they don't stay exclusives they will be either severly hampered by the DVD format or come on at least 4 DVD's and in this day of age that is just wrong.
PS3 is ahead as far as what a console should be and the funct...
every game for every system comes with warning. Read the F'n box people cigs kill and give cancer and if you are of sensetive mind and play games you might just fall and spaz out.
your talking about an overhaul of a controller which is an accessory.
MS overhauled and redesigned the system.
I for one enjoyed the humor in the AD. Good ad!!!
If you really feel like this, then why wouldn't these big spenders just buy a PS3. For a $120 more (U.S.) you get wi-fi, blu-ray player, Memory card reader a controller that only has to be plugged in via USB to recharge. If game like Gears and Oblivion were not enough to make these consumers buy a premium system why would they pay an Extra $80 for the elite to play games that are already old news.
I for one am not gonna lie these upgrades make me want to get a 360 even more ...
In our defense a lot of 360 fans care entirely to much of the $600 price that they refuse to pay, so it evens out.
I for one care because I plan on getting a 360 sometime in the future.
So not being a Microsoft fan to begin with I have to make sure that when I hand my money over for their product I don't get left with the taste of RIP-OFF afterwards.
but the 2 things you compare are not the same.
Cars for the most part are not meant to be a luxury item. They are meant to be driven from point A to B, and be realible while doing it. Thats why people still drive around cars from the 80's 90's and even early 2000 models. Because the basic premise of using a car is to get somewhere.
Electronics Devices like the Samsung you mention are a Luxury item. they are bought by people for 2 reasons. Entertainment or to...
A 20 gig 360 + 120gig HDD = $580
60 gigs + wi-fi + memory card reader + Blu-ray player + HDMI port + countless Sonyfan(boys) smiling =priceless *$600* and worth everypenny
i had the 400 dollars and basically get a free game.
after the initial launch, The same amount of time is taken to localize a game for release when coming from overseas.
the difference between everything you just measured is that, all these system might be different, but they are cosmetic difference and usally cost less then the system cost at launch. MS is releasing a system that adds-on components that they deemed unnessary no more then 5 months ago.
Not only that it's more expensive then the system was at launch.
And guess what It's still doesn't have WI-FI out the box, or HD movie playback or a memory card reader.
t...
But i rather just get for my PC instead. It's gonna be $10 cheaper that way.
what can consumers expect as far as value. I mean it's gonna be a great game with or without an SE but I think this is one that should've been left alone. The news story was Good and glad to see a news story that doesn't turn into a big ass flame war.
