[QUOTE="MaxxxReebo"][QUOTE="jxditu"][QUOTE="MaxxxReebo"]thats has to be the dumbest thing i have ever read. sony didnt want to sell out? please tell me you are joking and i didnt get it at first.Please stop making fun of Sony. Believe it or not they didn't WANT to sell out. They wanted to make sure that you're average person could stroll in off of the street and have a PS3 readily availabe for them... though why they'd expect an average person to drop $(Whatever the price in Austrailia is) on a high-end luxury specialty item when the hardcore gamers won't, is beyond me.
Point is, they PLANNED it this way. Trust me Sony knows what they're doing. ;P

Davi Reeves of Sony - ""We don't want secret shoppers to go in there and say, 'Ah, it's not out of stock, therefore it's not selling,'" he told Reuters. "Indeed, what we're trying to say is we want to make it available to the normal shopper who goes in there and says, 'Do you have PlayStation 3?', and they will say, 'Yes.' And the same for the software."

lol thats still the dumbest thing i have ever heard. just looks like they are preparing the DC machine. you could link all you want it only makes sony and its pr guys look more and more retarded.
I was... um... a little sarcastic when I wrote it, and linked so that people wouldn't think that I thought up that dumb excuse. ;)
Sony ruled by a mile in Australia last gen but both 360 and Wii had better launch sales. It's just a simple fact. IT COSTS TOO MUCH. Just like the original xbox that had a price drop of $250 in 3 months.darklord888
I agree. It simply needs a price drop.
We don't like wasting our money when we don't get enough in return. Sony didn't even bother advertising the PS3 down here, I have no clue what they were expecting...
Well sony deserve this, after smacking their fans in the face, not only do they lie about their console they make europe fans wait and they boost the cost even more seriously they do not deserve to win. I had so much fun with the ps2 that i belived that the ps3 would win before it came out, everyone belived it would the developers the xbox fans everyone. Thank god i waited and got a 360, if anyone is thinking of buying a ps3 just get a 360 sony isn't going to be the winner this gen, heck the way they are going they aint even going to have exclusive games, just do yourself a favor and buy a 360 or a Wii.RevenManI be getting 360 and wii later this year
