The only people calling it major were internet sites that hyped it up without even knowing what the announcement was.

They were calling it a PS3 announcement. Which is false and they need to be slapped silly for it.

video game journalism, thats exactly what david jaffe said about them on his blog. They all get caught up in the hype and never do their job right.

What did you honestly expect? When was the last time an announcement was hyped as being big or major and it actually was something big? Mostly it's something we've known was coming, or something small and stupid.

ehh whatever I still have a ps3. the only people who should be all over the PS3 price cut are people who don't have a ps3 and the sony fanboys. IMO the PS3 is worth the price it is now :D

I don't know, announcing a pricecut for the PS2 was actually good for me because my PS2 just blew up and I like my PS2 a lot so ya, I never would've noticed when the price cut was if they didn't announce it, so its not that bad.

Sony never said a major annoucement. The gaming press hyped it up, as did others who instantly assumed it was a PS3 price drop or a 2.70 firmware annoucement. I understand WHY people thought that, but you have to try not to hype this up. If people hype things like this, they may end up dissapointed.

Who was calling it a PS3 announcement? It sure as hell wasn't Sony. people just start hearing things when something like this is mentioned, then get disappointed.

I'm pretty certain it is "THE" annoucement. I'm surprised I thought this whole hyping yourself up and then blaming someone else was only done on the Nintendo boards, its funny to see its a universal thing.

:lol: No .. what's lame is the way you all blow things out of proportion ..

I just hope next time Sony doesn't even say anything about an announcement and just comes out with it, like a surprise .. then I wouldn't have to read all of these idiotic speculation threads ..

Can any of you run a Mutli-Million dollar corporation? Didn't think so .. so why don't most of you just stop crying like little girls, and enjoy your PS3 ..

Sony isn't holding a gun to your head to purchase or use any of their products, so if you don't like it, don't use it .. children these days ..

People really have to stop hyping these announcements. I mean, some people were even saying it was the FF7 remake or Kingdom Hearts 3, etc. Sony themselves never actually said the announcement was huge, the internet just assumed it would be.

how many times have we been burnt by these "big" announcements. Remeber when there was supposed to be some huge game coming and all these obscure blogs started hyping. Then it turned out that it was just a port of lost planet, something we had known for months. Or what about the British reporter who had seen some ps3 game that would melt are faces, yet it was never mentioned any where else....ever. Bottom line dont get hyped for any announcements, not even e3.

Thank you. Sony just said they had an announcement, they never said it was major. I had this arguement yesterday.

but why even have an Announcement for a $30 price drop for PS2 ? Just drop it, they made us speculate by turning it into an announcement.

:cry::cry::cry:

That's all I ever see here anymore.

Sony didn't fail, you did. You, the people who get charged up over rumors. See, when you get pumped up over internet rumors, that's what happens. Sony never told you the mother of all announcements was coming, no, rather some internet sites did. What happened? :cry::evil::(:x:cry: happened.

Do not, I repeat, DO NOT get caught up in hype and excitement that is generated from internet sites who are saying what they're saying to increase traffic on their site.

Unless you hear Sony say that the mother of all announcements is coming, ignore it! Even then, keep your hype and excitement in check.
