Hey guys:

Remember to buy the $599 version so you actually get an HDMI port so you can actually get 1080p resolution

Thank Sony.

yes but a HD blu-ray player will cost that much by itself.

5/9/2006 8:42:07 AM

3rd party blue ray will cost upwards of a thousand off the start

5/9/2006 8:52:30 AM

5/9/2006 10:31:33 AM

Bathtub II: More Cleanliness

5/9/2006 10:39:49 AM

nintendo is gonna be pissssed

5/9/2006 10:40:29 AM

at its price point, the ONLY way i think itll have a huge launch is if a metal gear solid, a devil may cry, a god of war, killzone, or Grand theft auto is a launch title

GT5 won't sale systems anymore

5/9/2006 12:00:59 PM

eh, my computer rocks all those systems.

only thing i don't have is the bluray shit. i have bluetooth technology and all that, but not a controller.

[Edited on May 9, 2006 at 12:05 PM. Reason : ]

5/9/2006 12:04:41 PM

are you kidding me?

this thing will have a huge launch regardless.

I'll wager 1 $600 super duper edition PS3 + required $2600 Gamestop HDTV bundle that this thing will be sold out on launch day + for months after that.

5/9/2006 12:05:18 PM

$2600 for hd?! what the fuck? hahahaha! people are actually gonna pay that?

5/9/2006 12:06:11 PM

xbox360 had the same kind of deal

its like

system
hookups
flat screen tv
4 games

for the price of a used car

5/9/2006 12:07:13 PM

it's a reference to the fact that when the 360 came out, they were forcing a bundle that included something like a 26 inch lcd hdtv and some monster cables for a few G's.

5/9/2006 12:07:32 PM

Wow, that video almost looks as good as the videos they released for the PS2 unveiling!

5/9/2006 12:10:32 PM

ah, that's not too bad then.

5/9/2006 12:15:19 PM

I'd probably pay $550 for the new Grand Theft Auto game + system

It's not quite $99 for 4 Zelda games + system but hey, niggas be ballin son

5/9/2006 12:17:52 PM

More like $590 for the system + 1 game.


~$530 for the system
~$65 for the game


after tax.

5/9/2006 12:47:18 PM

PS3 is gonna have something like Xbox live for some of its games, except its gonna be free

5/9/2006 1:10:40 PM

yeah ps2 had an online thing too, but it wasnt as big as xbox live either (free or otherwise). live is more worth the money now that you can DL tons of demos and games and whatnot.

5/9/2006 1:25:19 PM

I'm glad I got jaded on games/systems before they got expensive.... oh wait, Intellivision cartridges ran around $60.

5/9/2006 1:34:37 PM

I'm mad they switched out the design of the controller from the silver boomerang type thing they said they were gonna do, that thing looked sweet.

5/9/2006 2:15:45 PM

I'll bet Sony was too scared to change the controller that has already sold so well. Good for those who loved the PS1/PS2 controller, but bad for folks like me who just don't enjoy it as much as the Xbox-style controller.

Regardless, I'm only picking up as many of these as possible to throw on eBay. Real job + wife means I have less reason to throw my money on video games.

5/9/2006 2:25:15 PM

Nintendo will PWN. Has the Wii price been announced?

Oh, but they did change it. They took out the fucking rumble

5/9/2006 2:42:25 PM

5/9/2006 2:56:56 PM

kinda.. having tilt control is a lot different than what the Wii controller does.

No point-and-click or aiming functionality, no golf or baseball-swing style movement, and no depth perception.

5/9/2006 3:20:50 PM

what a fucking ridiculous pile of shit

5/9/2006 3:21:03 PM

wow... shocker:

GTA4 will be 360 exclusive.

5/9/2006 3:35:50 PM

ok, not really
