They had the option back in 06 to mid 08 to get the BC. it's called buying for the long term. I bought a PS3 at the beginning knowing what was out but I figured it will eventually kick off sometime so I bought one anyway. I knew it would cost a arm and a leg based on the huge in your face rumors about blu ray costing a fortune to put it there. I knew it wasn't going to be cheap. For over a year it was said that PS3 was going to cost a pretty penny. Then a year later the BC models got knocked down 100 so I mean suit yourself. Yes it's expensive but premium packages have a premium price tag. I don't understand the big shock factor. Long before the system came out people knew and yet acted all surprised when it launched.
Once again people complain about not having something but they didn't want to shell out the money for it when it was available.I traded in close to all my PS2 games just to try to bring the price down and then my dad goes off and buys one. Anyway I was prepared to give up what I had for it.
When you saysomething is "too expensive" what your saying is I don't care about what features are inside I just want things cheaper. In order to get things cheaper they took out the BC and made things smaller. It was obvious they werefazing it outsince the European launchof the system. They never got BC with the emotion engine. It's pure logic really.
If people bought for the long term instead of immediate gratification, then people would be a lot happier and the BC units would have sold and then it might have stayed. The machine wasn't overpriced for what it could do at the time of launch. Blu Ray players by themselves costed just as much if not more than the PS3 first did.
I was just talking to my uncle last week and he bought a launch blu ray player for $1200. That is double the cost of a launch PS3.
But you wiated and now your "paying the price" he he
