can't wait to see his reponse to that :P

but what I find funny is how so many people have faith in a company that's only goal is to profit...like, how could you get excited about a sixaxis with rumble after sony said that it's undoable and now you'll be forced to buy new controllers, DMC4 probably going multi-plat, and the possibility of MGS4/MGS game going multi-plat.

nah, points suck.

Warrenty extended doesn't matter because, I really won't be needing it, believe it or not. But hey, if I do need it, I've got it...I find it funny that you are pissed that I'm recieving free hardware repairs.

MGS4 rumor hasn't been settled yet. I doubt it's true, being that the game spans over the entire BD-ROM, but they never denied the possibility of a MGS title on the other 2 systems.

And a piece of advice, stop being a fan boy...and I'm not going ot call you a 12 year old, because if you denied that (claiming to be older), that would just be embarresing for you.

Andonce again give it upuntil you have confirmation that its a multi-plat, we here have to endure that garbage day in and day out. By trolls just like you.

Oh and here's a rule of thumb for you. When you have to break out theyour a 12 year old bit. It doesn't disguise the fact that your an immature little kid trying to compansatefor his lack of any type ofdebating skills.

I'm trolling the PS3 forums, ok, but being I own a PS3 it actually means I'm speaking my opinion rather than just saying bull sh!t, but I'm sure you'll just find another label for what I am, being our opinions conflict, that is, you being a sony fanboy, or maybe just a MS hater. I've not once paid for a repair being I've never needed to, and nor any of my friends that own a 360.

I don't get why you are in denial that MGS might go to the Wii or the x360, they do have a larger userbase. I'm not saying MGS4, per say, but just another title, not one necessarily equal to that of MGS4, but just another title...so relax, ps3 still has this gem.

Good job deflecting the 12 year-old bit back on to me, which is ironic, being that you said calling someone a 12 year-old is immature and "trying to compansate for his lack of any type of debating skills "...but, hey, you caught me, I have terrible debating skills and that's why you resorting to calling me a troll rather than actually defending your position.

I guess you'll just deflect that ^ by saying that I initiated it by hinting that you might be a pathetic kid/adult, so I guess I shouldn't have been surprised to see your "troll-calling" as a response.

No prob man. They need to get off your back. This thread went to hell the second he said "shafted".

Says Bloomberg: http://www.bloomberg.com/apps/news?pid=20601087&sid=aYWkGuoeuipo&refer=home

Clearing up the trouble made PlayStation 3 profitable several months ago, giving the company room to cut prices, analyst Doherty said. M********t still loses money on each X*** 3** it sells, he said.

``Any price cut they try to make puts them more into the red,'' Doherty said.

Lets go back for a second shall we this whole thing got started because bdhoff said we got shafted for being early adobtors. And complaning about a $ 100 dollar price drop how is that not good news. Then you had to put you two cent's in about how you find it funny that people put their faith in a company trying to make a profit. Well duh isn't that the goal of all companys to try and make a profit. And your right everyone is entitled to their opinion but when but when somebody is complaning about good news it gets old. Its not called denial its called bothersome when you see post day in and day out that MGS might be going multi-plat. I honestly don't care but people need to give it a rest until their's confirmation. How am I deflecting when your the one resorting to calling somebody a 12 year old. I didn't start that crap you did. Why are you on the defence because I'm telling you the truth. And I already defended my stance so give it a rest already. See their you go again with asinine coments like calling me pathetic I guess the shoe does fit.

2beers_in_hand

for starters, I didn't call you pathetic again, I said that because I DID - I shouldn't have been surprised from your response of calling me a troll, I didn't mean to reinforce the statement, name calling is indeed childish and was unecessary to so...but you've seemed to have misunderstood me in many ways.

I, as a consumer, don't see my purchase in the PS3 as an amazing investment. It was costly, and I don't even use it, for now.

I didn't mean to resurect dead MGS rumors, but I was simply stating that MGS titles being made for other consoles isn't a new thing (Twin Snakes for GC and MGS2 for the XBox). You seemed to be offended, almost, by this, and I took you for a fanboy, weather or not that may be the case.

Sony's profit means nothing to me as a consumer, only as a shareholder, so as a consumer, I was pointing out how I'm disappointed by some of their chosen actions, and here you chose to defend them yet again, and as a result, I took you for a fanboy.

Defending a position doesn't mean you are losing, it means you are "standing up" for your position...you weren't defending yours, you were merely attacking mine. Your only arguement was that the PS3 is superior, not even, just that the x360 is crap because it has been known to have stability issues - to which MS has (finally) responded with the extended 3 year warrenty. Your dissing of the x360 once again invoked me to think that you are a fanboy.

Honestly, I didn't really mean to stir up such an arguement, just was trying to state, as a consumer, how I felt and that them making a profit now doesn't necessarily mean that more consoles are actually selling, it means that each time that one does sell, they make money (obviously), and that this doesn't effect me as a consumer/owner of a PS3.

News such as "Sony is using profits to secure titles,etc" would excite me, not Sony is making money. And MS willing to lose money, yes in hopes to profit in the future, is alot better for the x360 userbase. As a result, the x360 has a handful of once-exclusive PS3 titles, a developed and living online community, which doesn't seem to exist, or not nearly as much, on the PS3.

Defending this made you a fanboy, as in rather than being critical of Sony and demanding what you paid for, you admire, or at least stand up for them, which basically, as a company is recieved as "they are happy with what we are offering, why fix what isn't broke".

Anyway, that sums up my position and hopefully you have not been insulted by this post.

Ah, yes, the PS3 forum....numbah2

I wouldn't say Sony is manouevering back to the top spot, although becoming profitable is pretty good for Sony. Problem is though, Blu Ray as a medium got dealt a huge blow a few months back when the Porn industry adopted the HD DVD instead of Blu Ray, since the Porn industry accounts for over 60% of Home movie sales. Also, the Wii is destroying both the 360 and the PS 3 in sales, so Sony has some really stiff competition, and it's gonna take more then a price drop and profitabilityto reverse the horrible fortunes they've been having this Generation.(That's what Final Fantasy 13 is for )

Remember this, as big as MGS 4 is gonna be, FF 13 is gonna be the gamebreaker. The system that has FF wins, and I'll be wiping the dust off my PS 3 when that baby drops. You just can'tlose when you havea Black Mageon your side :)

what news? I double checked to make sure, but a google search doesn't bring up Porn suddenly changing it's tune.

Do you have a link stating otherwise?

hmm interesting, they were losing big time at launch, how in the heck did they cheapen themanufacturing costs by that much so fast.lukemorgan21

new OXM (official xbox magazine) says that it costs microsoft $320 to make there elite SKU and they sell it for $480, so they are making money on there system to......etbny22

MS invested so much into their entertainment division, Xbox1, Zune, 360

they are making money on each system sold but still hasnt turned a profit on their investment in the 6/7 years since the xbox was launched and shareholders are begining to think if it was a worthwhile venture

I was defending my stance as an early adobter. I feel bad if because of finacial restrantspeople arestill not able to buy one. But for somebody to claim we got shafted, and that we don't have any good games is humorous at best.

Dude...Well said! Look at it this way. They (Sony) Dropped the EE chip, went to firmware (Cheaper). 90 M/sec Chips and are going to 65 m/sec chips (cheaper). New Blu Ray lenses (cheaper). So as Sony has a system that is solid as a rock. Firmware updates that is making the system better all the time. Yes are we hurt a bit in the games department? Definately! But as with the other guys their line up was pretty lousy at launch as well.

I think that the price drop will definately help. For people to say that we weren't smart to be early adopters of the PS3 I feel is crazy. At least we don't have the "Three Rings" I mean yeah, the three year warranty is great and all, but if your console is in the shop for alot of that........who is foolish for being an early adopter? Now with the lower price point......This will definately bring more people on board!

nice news by any means but i already have a ps3 and you know what to all those 360 fanboys complaining about the game selection at launch , id say this , at least sony and nintendo s console doesnt make noise, over heat um what else offer the same ol games rehashed or not even comparable to those of their prodecessors .

yes now thers good games on 360 but launch of 360 was the worst even pd0 or pgr 3 couldnt change that, for one pgr2 offered 1-4 player split screen 3 offers only 2 , perfect dark 1 was released in 2000 for a system said to be total garbage but you know what after playing and comparing pd0 to pd1 ,

i feel ripped off , , without many levels guns characters and absolutly no one hit kills etc i think pd 64 came earlier and also was supierer to pd0 which transfered from gc to xbox from xbox to xbox360 , that to me has to be the longest amount of time rare had or any one had to develope a good game,

that said , i like my wii and ps3 and 360 equally but i wont hold back the truth , every single console has its ups and downs rather you do not like mario party or not

, or motorstorm how about halo , i do not care that is no reason to claim one is better then the other , to tell you the truth the only system that can be classified as the best is the snes

, it offered more variety in the selection of games for its time, not even a ps2 can offer that same variety you got racing games arcade like shooters etc on the snes but as soon as 32 and 64 bit eras came out went that vast selection of deferent game types wii is changing slowly but surely not that it is the best i still see a market flooded with fps and racing and sports titles

we all can argue about this all night to if we had to , for one to say the 360 is better then wii or ps3 better look at the greatest system of all time, snes and theyll learn that a system does not have to have every game made just for that person , look at game cube hmm criticised for being kiddy, well look at the best looking games like resident evil or eternal darkness , i do not seem to believe any fanboy period , they all are the same , they can never deny the faults of their favored system well ill do just that

the ps3 well is a system without great games at launch

the 360 has faulty hardware

and not many can get used to the newest way to play games and we should blame wii should we not , i dont think so ,

they all have their games they may not be out now but will come soon just as is the case with wii and ps3 they are fairly new to the market , i already know some upcoming games for both i like

for example wii is gonna bring back one of the classic game series from n64 that is cruisn series the ps3 has nascar gta ff and many more 360 already has some heavy hitters now and some coming,

[QUOTE="GIJesse77"]500$ is still a lot to save up for though.Crazy87

not if you have a job i hate ppl that complain about the price cause they dont have a job and cant pay for it its anonnying

I, for one, am glad that I'm an early adopter.

How the hell do you think the PS3 became profitable in the first place? If everyone waited for a price-drop, we probably wouldn't even have a system to argue over anymore.

Omg it took forever to read all of those posts O_O Anyway great news for the ps3, and with the games ,and rumble coming, ps3 is looking good =) I'm also an early-adopter, or so u guys keep saying, and i'm happy with it =), also as a side note, it hasn't froze, broken down, or anything since that launch day and still today =)

Also i dunno if you gusy saw thsi but in amazon within a day the ps3 has gotten around 2500% sales increase.
