That pretty much sums it up.
The PS3 is yet another nail in Sony's coffin, and it's not even out yet!The Internet - where men are men, women are men, and teenage girls are FBI agents!

I wouldn't say no if someone offered to GIVE me one, but at $600? C'mon. Sony is just high on crack. No blue-ray out of box? Do they think that FF13 will sell the system for them?Originally posted by ElieSpeculations!!

I agree I won't buy it myself at that price either, but when people say it's crap without testing it, is beyond me.
We have to wait until it's out to make a sound judgement
I think Sony will drop the prices significantly shortly after release (pure speculations on my part
)

HA! I pretty much agree with most of all that... still don't see Nintendo using this ad in their campaign though
Wikipedia and Google.... the needles to my tangent habit.

Because it's a Sony. Even when they do develop great tech (which they do sometimes do), their media and marketing divisions cripple and mangle it 'til it's useless.Originally posted by ElieI agree I won't buy it myself at that price either, but when people say it's crap without testing it, is beyond me.
I don't know that people are saying it's crap, so much as it's a terrible value. You *can* make that kind of judgment based on announced prices and features.
You don't have to wait for release to know not to buy it. And unless they cut the prices by 1/3 or more (very unlikely), it won't help. And they've hinted at $80 for games!We have to wait until it's out to make a sound judgement

Not here in the US anyways. Remember the European and Japanese ads were always more 'revealing' that ours here.Originally posted by ClaymonkeyHA! I pretty much agree with most of all that... still don't see Nintendo using this ad in their campaign though
My favorite was for a tennis games where the main portion of the ad was a female tennis player with her rear nicely displayed. Yeah, and there was a screenshot of the game... all tiny-like in the lower left or right corner.“And, remember: there's no 'I' in 'irony'†~ Merlin Mann

Oh, I'm not saying the SYSTEM is garbage. I'm sure the system will rock, be a little faster than the XBOX360, and generally impressive as hell.Originally posted by ElieI agree I won't buy it myself at that price either, but when people say it's crap without testing it, is beyond me.

But the XBOX360 was already a little too expensive for Joe Public to buy the full system - and the base system was terribly crippled. Time will tell how angry people get when newer & better games that NEED the hard drive come out and they realize they need a $100+ addon just to play Grand Theft Auto 4: Rape & Murder on the Bayous.
Even if Sony drops the price to match the XBOX soon after release, the damage has already been done on day 1. The local stores have told me off the record that preorders aren't what they were hoping - almost assuredly due to price point and lack of features out of the box.

There's a second factor for that, though. Many places, EB in particular, f*cked over a lot of customers on the XBOX 360 preorders. Preorders aren't worth the paper they're printed on now.Originally posted by GurmThe local stores have told me off the record that preorders aren't what they were hoping - almost assuredly due to price point and lack of features out of the box.
