PS3

some of you may have not heard this but Sony has announced that they have dropped the numbers of PS3's that will be launched.
Because of trouble with the Blu-Ray drive sony, from the launch date of November 17 through March of 2007 will drop the number of units avaliable from 2 million to 400,000.
Does everyone know what kind of mess this thing will be. I bet they will be going for over $2,000 on ebay this Christmas.
Everyone is going to act like it is the store's fault that they dont have any. I expect it to be ugly.

Its all about the money! [img]/LDPforum/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/grin.gif[/img] No matter to me because I usually wait about a year before I consider buying something like that. That way I can see how well they do and which is the best.

this is the perfect time to preorder a ps3, and make probably double what you pay for it... I'm hoping to buy 2 on the pre-order.

I'd saay even if you pre-ordered them you wouldn't get them.
I work with a guy who pre-ordered the 360 and he got one from walmart weeks after launch before his preorder one came in

Wow, huge surprise there. [img]/LDPforum/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/grin.gif[/img]

Still will be the the best next-gen console on the market, by far.

Could be true, but only time will tell.

As of now it's looking more and more like an overly-expensive piece of junk.

And you're guessing that logic on....

You just want the joystick to simulate your hand motion [img]/LDPforum/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/arcadefreak.gif[/img]

* Blu-Ray Problems
* Pricing
* Performance Problems (Hard to program for; Cell processor gives problems)
* No "Wow" Factor
* Crappy Games
* Copy-Cat ("Me Too!") Methods
(Motion sensors = Wiimote
Online "Entitlements" = 360 XBOX Live "Achievements"
Downloadable Genesis/Turbo Grafx games = Wii downloadable NES/SNES/N64 games)
(All of which are clearly inferior to the designs they copied.)


It's just a very unimpressive system.

The Playstation was a great system, yes.

The Playstation 2 was a VERY good system, yes.

But the Playstation 3 looks very lackluster IMO.

I gotta give it to Sony. They can really hook the fans..

To all of you who think there are problems with the PS3, go ahead and believe what you will. This is only, and I repeat ONLY, a ploy by Sony to drive up demand for the PS3 before the launch date to ensure massive sales when the systems finally reach stores en masse. Any of you remember when the PS2 came out? Same exact thing.
