Damn, I already have a PS3. This deal should have been available during black friday.
I think this card is meant as the mid-range card that AMD was missing in its lineup. I believe the review from Anandtech or Xbitslab showed that it rivaled 8800GT in performance/price ratio.
It's a cheap game that probably costs less than what most people have for lunch, so I think if you get as much enjoyment out of a burrito spaced out for a few years equals this game, you might want to just get and see whether its good.
I've read reviews of how some of the cheap PSN sixaxis and eyetoy titles aren't so great, but I found my parents, who have never played a game as far as I remember, and my gf loving them. You just can't tell how a game is from reviews.
Why in the world would we buy poorly ported games from EA when there are tons of better cross-platformers and exclusives? I would much rather see sales data from Ubisoft and Infinity Ward; they have made PS3 games which actually justify a purchase (I already bought my Assassin's Creed).
So while they sold 750,000 players, Blu Ray has recently sold 1,000,000 movies while HD-DVD sold only 370,000, which means Blu Ray is leading 3:1 thanks to the millions of PS3s there.

For those who already bought their console, I suggest they just ignore this since there's nothing they can do about it anymore. And for those who are still in the market for a new system, it really is up to them whether the arguments in the article will play into their purchase decision.
I wish people would stop saying things like they were out of stock here and there when its about the difference of how much they had originally and now. Let's just wait for the NPD numbers.
I think the problem was limited quantities, so I guess they decided to concentrate them on just a few territories instead of spreading them out really thin.
Pretty soon they will reach the classic physics problem of how the law of physics behaves differently on such small scale. Between them, Intel, and IBM, I hope one of them and break the next barrier successfully.
It shows they are actually listening to its users. Developers and representatives actually reply back on the blogs when they hear questions and complaints. I think this should be applauded, not criticized.
Add 1 more for the PS3, mine just got shipped from familyvideo.com for just $84. I can't wait to play it when I get back home.
I hope they will provide a game soon that will showcase their achievements.
My point is that it could have been running better if Valve didn't outsource it to another developer to reduce development cost for themselves. I mean if they see that PS3 owners don't care about getting a delayed game that is not performing better to justify the delay, I don't see what will stop them from doing so again.
I had this game on backorder until I heard about the massive amounts of problems with the guitars, so I decided to just get GHIII instead until they get their act together and fix the problem.
I agree with you, though I'm not too sure 2K deserves such praise yet since it hasn't given much cross platformers except some sports games.
I'm not saying people shouldn't buy this game, I mean some might not mind the occasion framerate dip (in the preview at least) in exchange for not having to upgrade their PC for good visuals. But being a smart consumer means knowing what products and brands to support. For example, I've been avoiding Starbucks due to their anti-labor pract...
I think the only things shrinking the die at this point will do is reduce the production cost of each unit. For there to be a fanless PS3, the entire unit will have to be made of aluminum and have heat pipes running through it (same as those fanless PC case), it will probably cost more to manufacturer and be too heavy to be worth it. It really won't affect consumers much except smaller fan, lighter unit, and a bit more quiet at night when you're running Fold@Home.
@Lord Anubis...
Ever since I bought Orange Box for the PC from an Asian online retailer and got my account suspended on Steam, I've lost whatever motivation I used to have in playing CS and CS Source. So unless they can provide a PS3 game without spitting on it first, I'll be looking elsewhere for my gaming needs this holiday season.
What in the world happened to it? Soulcalibur has been a strong, solid franchise from Namco. Do third party developers think selling titles on the Wii is the walk in the park when they are competing with the AAA titles that Nintendo is putting out? They need to do better.
I think it is horrible that you believe that he deserved such a thing. That is like saying a southern interracial couple deserve to be persecuted, a young middle eastern deserve to be raped for showing more skin in public than she is allowed, or a young gay couple deserve to be beaten to death for showing affection to each other in public.
People need to start thinking more about what they think and what they do nowadays. Even the smallest verbal abuse and name calling can esca...
Wow, these people sound like they have been permanently traumatized by the incident from way back in 2005. The biggest issue was how the rootkit masked itself and the security vulnerability it could present to its users, but the biggest issue was the complicated ordeal to remove the rootkit.
But how is this related to gaming? The last escapade with rootkit was with Bioshock, which is not even available on any Sony system, and it was simply the protection chosen by its developer...
