HAY GUYS! MY CREATOR STRIPPED OUT A GOOD 50% OF WHAT MADE ME AWESOME SO I CAN CONTINUE SUPPORTING A BOGUS MEDIA FORMAT! THE RESULT IS IM ONLY 400 DOLLARS NOW! A CONSOLE, NOW WITH EVEN FEWER GAMES TO PLAY ON IT, DOESNT SEEM TOO BAD AT 400 RIGHT?

Quote

"We're choosing to focus on the PlayStation 2 consumer with the PlayStation 2, which remains incredibly relevant, and focus on the PlayStation 3 consumer with the new 40-gigabyte model and the great software coming out," Tretton said.

"Backward compatibility is a nice secondary consideration, but it's far from the number-one priority."

Yes, someone should tell them the number-one priority is SOFTWARE.

The GAF thread on Tretton's comments is just disgusting. These are the same distinguished mentally-challenged fellows who shat on the 360 last year over the BS problems.

The Wii's still going to sell. If the 360 can't stop the Wii, neither the PS3. People are delusional if they think that price is going to make the PS3 more popular than the 360. Having games that are actually worth playing will help the PS3 a lot more than a price drop.

MrAngryFace · « **Reply #8 on:** October 18, 2007, 02:15:01 PM »

Wii still lacks software. Keep on cheering consumer ignorance.

bud · « **Reply #9 on:** October 18, 2007, 02:24:02 PM »

on one hand i wanted bc, but with the price dropping so fast--i don't think anyone had imagined it dropping with 200 bucks in less than a year--it makes me happy that it could drop even more by the time mgs4 comes out. i've always said that 399 + mgs4 = buy, but it could be even lower by then, or they could bundle and i'd only spend 30 bucks on the game or what have you.

ps3 numbers are going to be labomba. like, even with hs, ''the first killer-app,'' and warhawk which came out weeks ago.

It's still $400 and the 360 crushes it in quality games. And taking away backwards compatibility and publicly stating it is to force people to buy PS3 games instead of playing upscaled PS2 games is fucking distinguished mentally-challenged.

No one gives a shit about backwards compatibility.

FUCKING WRONG

And this 'no one but hardcore cares' is supposed to be a Nintendo talking point.

This would've been a great announcement at E3 but it's too late to make any sort of impact post Halo 3 and the 360's expected holiday lineup.

I care about BC, having some PS2 games yet to play

Guess it's back to the waiting for software game

Bloodwake · « **Reply #18 on:** October 18, 2007, 04:03:04 PM »

All I'm saying is I'm glad I got the 60GB for like $400 due to some GameStop employee discounts, because I would be missing backward compatibility, especially after I've seen how fucking well it upscales PS1 and PS2 games.

Seriously, my purchase is justified because I get to play PS2 games in HD. It's sad, but hey, my favorite system of last gen upscaled isn't too bad of a use for the PS3. This new model basically fucked that experience over for any newcomers. And MAF's right, there is like NO FUCKING SOFTWARE for the system, so taking backward compatibility out of it is a losing idea.

Why is Robby parading about BC not being a big deal. He buys VC ROMs! You have a perfectly functioning SNES ROBBY! You have a perfectly functioning NES ROBBY!

That's a great idea, we should both go out and get a PS3.

We'll buy one when I fly down there, how's that sound! Though I was hoping I could limit the "horrible purchase" quota to one a year. It is bad enough I bought a Wii.

P.S. PSP is the better choice. You're pretty shitty at this.

Taking away BC is pretty distinguished mentally-challenged, I might have actually considered a 40gb aside from this thing, I really want that upscaling. Sony still has their head up their ass and soon it'll be too late for them to amount to anything more than 3rd place this gen.

I dunno the NGB bc isnt so great still, I ran up this wall fighting nunchuck guy and the screen just went to some weird to color pattern. Also, for some reason, the intro water cinematic is choppy as fuck.

You sure? the only problem i encountered is slow FMVs, and that's it.

last time i played it was about a year ago, component.

Yea, it is. I'm not going to spend $130 on a dead-end like that, especially not for SD faggotry. I was willing to wait for a $300 PS3, but if there will be no more BC going forward I'm either never getting one or snatching one of the last 60GBs on clearance.

they should've launched at $400. i guess that'd be a few hundred million down the drain, but on the other hand their console wouldn't be dead
