yeah $399 is a boatload of money
:rolleyes:

Guess how many 3DOs I bought.

I have $400. I just won\'t spend that much for a PS3.

It\'s like spending $20 for a Snickers.

You could, but you\'d be retarded. PS3 makes you retarded.

Wow, with thinking like this, well....  I\'m kind of surprised you\'re still alive.

You girls are retarded.  I guess you don\'t even think about the fact that it\'s a stand alone High Definition DVD Player.  I\'d buy the player alone for 400 bucks.  So I am essentially getting the game ability for free.

If I had the money to invest in a HDTV then I\'d go ahead and get a great HD-DVD/Blu-Ray player to compliment it, not the bottom of the barrell piece going into the PS3.

But hey, we all have different standards.

The world needs ditch diggers too I guess.

As I’ve been saying.  I don\'t buy any new technology until it’s been tested by the general consumer, for them to find all the defaults and for me to benefit by the outcome.

I don\'t ever want to hear about the "bandgwagon" again from you, MM. I was the ONLY one on this forum that bought one a PS2 on launch day and had enough common sense to say, hey, it f**kin\' sucked..

UMD rocks? Sure, for a gaming format. Why make another format for movies? There is no reason what so ever for it. They don\'t rock. They\'re just another properitary Sony format.

And yeah, it\'ll be a Blu-Ray player also. Tell me, this time next year how many Blu-Ray movie\'s will be out? Even if there is, what does it matter if the industry has not decided on a format? Not to mention, I am not buying a PS3 just for the Blu-Ray playback. It\'s retarded. Just like I think it was retarded for people to buy PS2\'s because of DVD player (which was SHODDY at best).

This generation will be the first where I won\'t jump and buy consoles come day one. Why? I learned from the last one. The only console worth owning on day one was the DC.

It has nothing to do with money. It has nothing to do with lack of HDTV (I have one). It has to do with the fact that $400 dollars for a console is stupid, espically when there is no pack in game. I am not buying a gaming console to play movie\'s, therefor "Blu-Ray" means ZIPPO to me.

were they released? did people buy it?

the price had nothing to do with it
it was lack of software

nice try, but no points awarded

You trying to tell me if those consoles had "killer apps", they would of had good sells on launch day? If so, you\'re crazy. People still view games as toys and most people don\'t want to pay upwards of $400 dollars for toys.

just cause your too cheap to pay $400 doesnt mean there isnt 10 million other gamers out there on launch day that wont  (me included)


you are making excuses left and right

Believe me, $400 is not too much for something like the PS3.

The only problem is that if Xbox 360 launches first (which it will) if it costs $100 less (which it might) and if it has comparable graphical abilities (likely) then the PS3 will be a tougher sell.

Still.. won\'t the PS3 be using HD-DVD/Blu-Ray, and run PS1/PS2 games? Huge incentives right there.

I see Ken has already sold his "super computer" to you.  The PS3 will amount to nothing more than a game console when all is said and done.

There are loads of people who pay for over-priced Sony products when there\'s even better tech right next to it for less, but then again there aren\'t enough of these brandname-buyers it seems.  How is Sony\'s electronic division doing these days?

Duh, Sherlock. It doesn\'t matter, the general consumer still makes up most the market and most the general consumers think of games as toys.

Not making excuses, just saying the PS3 offers nothing for me to pay an extra $100 bucks, then turn around and pay $50 for a game and $30 for a memory card.

wrong
again, this isnt 1990

oh, you played it already?
im jealous

I remember when the PS2 Launched in 1999 some people even traveled from Europe or USA to Japan just to buy the more expensive japanese version.

It took only a few days to sell 750,000 units in one city only.I dont think $100 more will hurt them much unless good launch titles lack, and MS manages a bigger presence than expected with XBOX360.
