Is true.

[spoiler]So now when we make outrageous claims that the ps3 is $600, we'll be 100% right!

Yay?

Less choices of things that will break 6 months after we buy them.

Collectors Item or White Elephant?

Ha! Only the middle class could afford the 20 gig version anyways. I'm hoping you ARE at least middle class and not...ugh...POOR! Anyways, Daddy says money is easy to make so I don't see what the problem is. *sits in a hot tub full of money*

People buy the PS3?

At any rate, I won't!

I'm giddy about this. I thought that the 360 elite justified the ps3's price point, and now sony's like 'OH YEAH? WE'LL MAKE THE ENTRY BARRIER EVEN HIGHER TOO!'

Nintendo needs to announce a £500 Wii tbh

Yes.

And a $1000 one, just to trump everybody.

And preferably with minimal actual improvements to the hardware.

I'm sure Sony would comeback with a million gig version of the PS3 or something.

If it can store my nuclear physics data, maybe I can get Dr. Klein to buy it.

One day, the will build a PS3 with a hard drive so big that it will crush them all!

A friend of mine had considered getting a cluster of PS3 to be used for parallel computing in his lab, at some point, but the project was dumped... mostly because except for their Cell processor, the PS3 hardware isn't actually that great (fast proc for sure, but small data bus => stupid bottleneck)

Don't say such things. Kutaragi says it's the most powerful computer in the world, so it is. It is useless to pretend otherwise.

I'm gonna buy a current gen (60GB w/ Emotion Engine) PS3 right when they announce the new 80GB model w/o the EE... I need full backward compatibility for my ps2 games cause the laser in mine is crapping out...

yea, and it's kind of like...i'm back from the dead. kind of.

Bah. The new model is going to be much better. With emulated BC, you get upscaling and what not.

Or you could just smash all of your old Sony products and ignore the existance of the PS3.

It's an evil monster that is plotting your death as we speak.

Fuck upscaling, I want upSKIRTING.
Wireless Eyetoy is where it's at =D

Can't they just add that in with firmware though? I mean they're removing hardware, not actually changing it. I thought that the upscaling would be delivered through FW to all PS3s.
