- straydreamer, on 11/20/2007, -5/+48Lower price + starting to get a game library worth looking at = people buying the system.
- EvanVolm, on 11/20/2007, -5/+39So wait. You're telling that because the price of the PS3 was lowered.....it's actually helping it sell? No way!
- thatsmyaibo, on 11/20/2007, -1/+30Thanks for letting us know. At first I was worried you wouldn't digg it but BAM...here you are.
- mywhitenoise, on 11/20/2007, -8/+24You're willing to wait 5 - 7 more years just to save $150 ($2.50 - $1.78 a month)? You are one big cheap ass.
- thatsmyaibo, on 11/20/2007, -5/+18I just bought Uncharted yesterday...Holy *****. This game is one of the many that are making the PS3 worthwhile now.
- Sraza, on 11/20/2007, -4/+15How many PS2 games can you buy for $150?
If you buy used you can get even more.
Buying smarter doesn't make you a cheap ass and just because a new gen is out doesn't make the old good games unplayable. - acdcfanbill, on 11/20/2007, -1/+11Then you give it a hit from your spice weasel... BAM!
- britkev1, on 11/20/2007, -1/+11Something they should have done from the start. A blow out specs system is nothing without the right price and catalog to go with it.
- BinaryDelt, on 11/20/2007, -1/+9I was disappointed to hear Sony's "We never really cared anyway" attitude about the Hi-Def format war, but I'm beginning to realize that they're finally focusing on the Playstation 3 as a gaming console with a Blu-Ray player built in, not the other way around. Picture Sony focusing their attention on the Playstation 2 as a DVD player. Pretty dumb right? Keep it up Sony. Momentum leading up to Metal Gear and Final Fantasy may save this console.
They also forgot too soon that each console sold = support for Blu-Ray. How do you sell consoles? With great exclusive games. Win. - SeaBass22, on 11/20/2007, -0/+8Uncharted is unbelievably good. Not just the best PS3 game available, but it's climbing my list of top video games ever.
- BenKenobi88, on 11/20/2007, -3/+10What's with all the "PS3 making a comeback" articles? Ok, it's not doing horrible now...good for them. 5 or 6 topics in the past few days though? Eh...
- Ajajadude, on 11/21/2007, -0/+6I bought the Premium 360 back in January and got the 60 GB PS3 a couple of months later. If I were to go out today and buy all the accessories for the 360 I got out of the box with the PS3, I'd end up spending more on the 360. It's just a fact, no fanboy *****. I like WiFi, I like rechargeable controllers (I don't like spending money on batteries unless it's for my piece of ***** camera), I like the option of being able to pop in a flash card to look at photos/videos/etc on the tv and transfer things over if I so desire, and I like the ability to cheaply and easily upgrade the storage space.
I think the 360 has a slight edge in a few categories (like the media player and how it plays nice with my iPod) and the overall look, feel, and usability of the online aspects. But, Sony has been slowly making improvements to both those areas and more and it's only a matter of time until they're equal in that regard (though, I think I'll still prefer the look of the 360 dashboard/blade setup...even though the PS3's setup is growing on me).
Game-wise, the PS3 IS catching up. They don't have nearly as many games, but the ability on [most] PS3's to play PS2 games helps make up for that in the short term and the overall quality of the PS3 games coming out is pretty damned good. I can see Sony pulling away, but that'll be due to the PS3's overall design and dedication to the long term. I have never once thought of the 360 as being a long term deal like the PS3 is supposed to be. - inactive, on 11/20/2007, -6/+12Ratchet and Clank and Uncharted. Wtf are you blabbering about ms fanboy.
- plizard, on 11/20/2007, -6/+11HAHAHA wow someone at sony passed a econ 101 class
- enforcerpsu, on 11/20/2007, -0/+5Cutting the price has been a good move by Sony. If they want to get into the competition instead of making up excuses they need to make more moves like this. Hell, if they keep this up I might even get one when a few of the bigger name titles are on it.
- shinythingy, on 11/20/2007, -1/+6I love how people think they can predict the future
- triplehelix, on 11/20/2007, -1/+6can i borrow your crystal ball before the next powerball drawing please?
- UwasaWaya, on 11/20/2007, -0/+5Funny how a decent library tends to be a good thing.
- slaystench, on 11/20/2007, -1/+5Must be nice getting paid money to state the obvious. I should do this!
- Ajajadude, on 11/20/2007, -0/+4Touche'
- Ajajadude, on 11/20/2007, -6/+10Older, established technology is easier to work with. It's a fact of life. Thank god the multitude of industries in this world don't think sticking with the status quo is a good thing. Innovation is what brought us from the old school Ataris to what we have today.
- jacksons98, on 11/20/2007, -4/+8X360 is not a cheaper option. Everything and I mean everything costs extra with the x360. And even the little things cost more on X360. PS3 is by far cheaper than X360.
- krische, on 11/21/2007, -0/+3Yeah, these stories seem a little obvious, but I'll take them over the "Look pictures of PS3's on the shelf! It's so totally failing!" stories from a year ago.
- Ajajadude, on 11/21/2007, -0/+3What? I'm talking about overall ability to design games for it. I don't pretend to know anything about developing games, but every article that I've read (and is relatively un-biased) says the same thing over and over, even when it's a bad review: the PS3's overall design has it built with the future in mind. More disc storage capacity, more "power", etc. And that's it's biggest downfall...everything it's built around is new to developers and Sony has done (until recently) an extremely terrible job at educating them.
The 360 is way ahead of the game, no pun intended, because Microsoft used the tried-and-true method in designing the hardware. But, in the long run, that could potentially limit what developers can do with the 360 in comparison to what developers might be able to do with the PS3. Hell, even the "rumors" of the DVD9 (and no guarantee of a HDD being present in every 360) holding back developers with the amount of high quality content they can put into a game should say something. - merdiesel, on 11/20/2007, -2/+5I wouldn't have bought one without it.
- BabyWookie, on 11/20/2007, -3/+6The 360 a very-well designed and powerful gaming hardware. The 3 dual-thread CPU cores, unified memory architecture and the unified shaders on the GPU make it one hell of a flexible platform
- Ajajadude, on 11/21/2007, -0/+2I'm so immersed in gaming I use my 360 and PS3 for a grand total of about 5 hours a week, cumulative! It can take me a month to finish a game that would take many other gamers a day. I enjoy getting things that are new and haven't been beaten like a dead horse in every way manageable. Most people do. Odds are, the only way you're going to find a PS3 for less than $300 is in a couple of years and it's used. But a warning to the not-so-wise-but-quite-cheap: this generation of consoles are best purchased new.
And even if you buy a "refurbished" Delorean today, you'll probably spend more on it than you would if you went ahead and bought one when they were still being rolled off the assembly line. - airstrike, on 11/20/2007, -6/+8the ps3 is the nintendo 64 of today.
- wsuBobby, on 11/23/2007, -0/+2FF7 is the only way to go. They need to re-release FF7 for PS3. All materia bitches!
- Ajajadude, on 11/20/2007, -4/+6So, you finally getting around to buying a Delorean? 'Cause, the great thing about great games is playing them when they first come out. They begin to lose their luster when you spend 5 years reading about a game. That and they'll have already released at least a 4th game in the series (if they plan on going that far).
- djSyndrome, on 11/21/2007, -0/+2Because the PS3 has porn, while the Beta didn't.
- djSyndrome, on 11/21/2007, -0/+2Every single major third party developer is 'on board'. What more do you want, Nintendo and MS to make games for the thing?
- rusty123jimi, on 11/20/2007, -0/+2Question is...which one does the fat man want to work on...I'm guessing the easier one, but that doesn't by any means its superior!
- inactive, on 02/25/2009, -1/+3hmm it sounds like you're either a momma/daddy's boy who still isn't legally able to find work to buy a $399 console, or a worthless illiterate completely useless social security leeching weed-addict SOB with no life no job and no respect. But I wish you all the best with your search in finding a $299 ps3. Here's a hint: come to NYC and join the NYC Street Cleaners Association in Manhattan (they are paying 5 dollars per hour now). since you have no skills, you can clean the streets for me and I may give you some tips. This way by 2020 you would gather your precious 299 dollars and get a ps3 while I would be playing ultra-realistic games on ps20.
- TheXeno, on 11/20/2007, -3/+5You really have no idea what you're actually missing out on. People are too hypersensitive toward Sony. I've enjoyed some truly great games so far.
- rusty123jimi, on 11/20/2007, -0/+2Well... developers are started talking about how they are going to start working on the PS3 first, and then port it over to the 360. I think Haze is one of the first ones.
- jacksons98, on 11/20/2007, -2/+4Who shops at Kmart?
- zantos420, on 11/20/2007, -0/+2you're actually right... when the ps3 first came out it cost sony over $1,ooo for each ps3 built and they were still losing money even selling it for $6oo. But hey, in the end Sony won the dvd wars and blu ray prevails (or so it appears) and getting the extra units off the shelf is just the obvious thing to do
- kingvik, on 11/20/2007, -0/+1The sun is bright, and water is wet, that'll be $50.
- NinjaBoy, on 11/20/2007, -1/+2In other news water wet, fire hot. Good work cnn.
- TrojanGuy, on 11/20/2007, -1/+2Is there a "No *****, Sherlock" category on digg?
- Ajajadude, on 11/21/2007, -0/+1Supposedly that's easier for them in the long run....if the keyboard warriors know what they're talking about, that is.
- djSyndrome, on 11/21/2007, -0/+1I take it you're not one of those people?
- Ajajadude, on 11/21/2007, -0/+1I thought K-Mart went out of business...
- orion846, on 11/20/2007, -2/+3a lot of people last week, including myself
- rlg420, on 11/21/2007, -0/+1Or you could shoot yourself in the head.
- djSyndrome, on 11/21/2007, -0/+1They were eaten by Sears.
- Dustmuffins, on 11/20/2007, -0/+1SUPRISE!
- Zoids, on 11/21/2007, -0/+1No.
- Sniper, on 11/21/2007, -0/+1Who taught you how to count?
