2 million consoles in N. America sold in December. 360 has officially become first to 10 mil!!!
I saw the American Idol pic and got worried that it might be for the 360. Thankfully it is only for the PS2.
Everyone is finding porn everywhere.
You can build the most kick a$$ console that has ever been built, but if there are no killer games, it won't sell.
and no sneaking in stealth combat games is enough to kill off this product before it ever sells it's first unit. The reason people want mouse/keyboard compatibility is because they are more accurate and easier to use then a gamepad, but this product screws all that up. The only thing it's good for is using your dual shock controllers on the 360.

I think most kids and gamers have forgotten about them long ago.
You still need some sort of mechanism for inserting physical media into the unit, though. A hard drive can never replace a removable media drive unless they plan to make the next PSP with downloadable content only, which would not be a good move.
are actually more powerful than the GPU in the PS3. The PS3 GPU is actually slightly slower than a single 7800 GT class GPU.
if they keep this up. $300 loss per console, $70 Blu Ray movie rebate, now $150 credit if you buy your PS3 using a Sony credit card. That's $520 people. Sony is so desperate to get everyone to have a PS3, they are literally giving them away now.
is an incredible piece of hardware and the first to support DX 10, just in time for the release of Vista.
So now they have managed to make ISO dumps playable. Everyone put your money into companies that manufacture writable Blu Ray discs because they are going to be selling a LOT of them.
The article says they are hoarding PS3 consoles. When a retailer hoards something to build demand, they aren't going to tell you "Yeah, come on down we have 25 on a shelf in the back" they are going to tell you "No, sorry we don't have any and don't know when we will be getting more." Just because you walk in the store and don't see any on the shelf, does not mean they don't have any. They are refusing to sell them.
Now that the PM is seen to be doing it, others in the UK will feel better about doing it themselves. Some people who may have been hesitating due to it being illegal, will now be on ebay bidding to get one. This is going to have widespread repercussions and hurt the official PS3 launch.
That's not how I remember it. I pre-ordered mine and was lucky to get it in the first shipment. Retailers were selling out immediately for a long time to come and people were getting mugged in mall parking lots for them. PS2 launch was by no means "poor". This guy is blowing smoke out his a$$.
I don't know of any law that says "Thou shalt not distribute the security codes on your Blu Ray player."
Show me the chapter and verse of the law that says I cannot do this. Until then, STFU.
Try reading the f*ing article
" This follows reports that Best Buy – among others – has actually been holding PS3 stock (hardware and software) since December 21st. This ‘strategy’ apparently relates to the fact that various Best Buy outlets only have between 25 to 60 units each ready to go for by December 31st."
Retailers are withholding consoles so they will have them for the new year. They are not being sold, they are being HOARDED at the retail level.
It is good for you as a consumer to get better prices in the short term, but it may be the first step in retailers turning their backs on Sony and not carrying PS3 anymore because it doesn't sell well enough for them to make a profit. Some places will likely sell out their stock and not reorder anymore. Without support from major retailers, PS3 is doomed.
Eat it Sony fanboys. Your precious sales figures are WRONG!!! Most of those units that you claim are sold, are actually collecting dust in the back rooms of Best Buy, Target and Circuit City.
A $20 price drop on games by retailers means they are too heavily stocked and trying to liquidate at or near cost just to get rid of them. Don't be surprised to see some retailers drop all PS3 support in the near future.
most of the world's problems aren't the fault of Americans, but are holdover problems from British colonialism. America is the only country left that is strong enough to deal with those problems.
