kotaku.com— The connected PS3-party wet blanket who brought us covert info on the PlayStation 3 has dug up some dirt from a phantom insider who claims the PS3 may see even more downgraded specs.

Yes Cglass, of course there is nobody you know looking forward to it. Firstly, you probably have a 360 and your friends do too. Secondly, with all the bad propaganda-like news arising (this is stated in kotaku to be a rumor for freakin' sakes), it's hard to not believe the tabloids, and if you believe one, you believe them all... Many articles I have seen on digg to bash sony are always presented with that big red exclamation point saying that the original article is under review for validity, know what that means? It IS a bunch of rumor buildup that makes the front page of Video Games' equivalent to Star or Teen people and fanboys (those who find the inquirer to be gospel) are the first to digg and comment. If there is a Sony supporter, he is dugg down no matter where in the comment he is. Speaking of digging up and down comments, I believe that is a sick tool taken advantage of on video game posts. There isn't anything that is digged-up that isn't short of bash at the PS3, a short joke thats so funny, you can't digg it down, and all this, for a conversation between online chatters, one claiming to be an insider? How about this, come November when this thing is released and all the reputable sites benchmark the features in the PS3, come back and post a digg about how right or how wrong this supposed "insider" was on his speculation. Until then, this crap is for the tabloid junkie in every Sony basher. You're right, you don't have to be a wii fanboy or 360 fanboy, you could just plain be a Sony basher: And THAT is what gets you ahead in this digg commentary system, my friends.
You can only attack the weak point just before or just after the massive crab attack, when the red glowing weak point is exposed. At least, that's what Konami taught us all.
To se1zure:"Cheaper isn't better. You can fit 6x (or more) of a game onto a disk. While it makes the ps3 more expensive, your going to get countless more hours of play from a single game." -Wrong, development cost and certainly not media cost is the major factor in game price. If they can charge you $70 for a four hour play-time game filled with trailers for movies and other games, they will. This is simple cross media marketing, it already happens on other games and media."Imagine 6x the map on Oblivion (holy s**t!)." -Again, no. Oblivion is over half voice acting. Many much smaller games have far more content, Oblivion's predecessors as one example."They got over 200 gigs on a blu-ray disk, so, 1 blu-ray disk could, actually, in fact hold 42 x the game amount." -They also have 150gb HD-DVDs in little glass cases at trade shows. When DVD was originally introduced, it also had some ridiculous multi-layer discs (up to 50gb IIRC) displayed, but these aren't economical. 15gb/layer HD, and 20-25gb/layer BD are the spec we'll see. Not only that, but no company will spend the needed 40 million developing 200 gigs of game content, bank on that.What upsets me about Sony, is all of the lying. I own a 360, but don't consider myself a fanboy. Why? I'm not telling my friends to get them. They'll need to expand the 360's game library a lot before I go to my friends promoting it. I'm waiting on wii and ps3 to hit before I promote any of the 3. At the same time, Sony's use of some really questionable tactics is leaving a sour taste in my mouth. I'm in the mid-20 market with expendable income they want to get, I actually have a real 1080P display to play on... and I just don't see any reason to go ps3 yet, not one. Please Sony, don't screw this up as bad it looks like you will. I want a tight race with all 3 and a vicious price war; not botched launches and more suicidal comments and actions from your executive team.
