In the typical pimp fashion that we've all come to expect from him, Peter Moore couldn't help but volley on last criticism Sony's way, while getting things ready for his new home at Electronic Arts. During an interview with MCV, Moore killed two birds with one stone with but a few statements. First up was Sony:

"They need to find a way to get to $399 and then see what happens. I'm not sure the 80GB model is going to have a profound effect. I'm also not sure what they're going to do with all that extra space. I was expecting an announcement of a full video download service, but it just isn't there."

Don't think for an instant that Moore has forgotten about that seemingly unstoppable money-maker of a box from the other guys:

"Nintendo deserves more respect. Maybe they're still a bit weak on third parties - their record has never been great in that area - but they're doing something about that and looking to address it."

I would be lying, if I said that I'm not amused by Peter Moore's tenacity, but I wonder how the suits at EA feel about one of their newly appointed employees jeering a company they make quite a few games for? Never mind, it's Peter Moore we're talking about here. We wouldn't accept less from a guy like him.

Moore will be missed..Glad to know he isn't gonna be suit driven like the rest @ EA

Well he is the head of EA Sports so he is one of the suits at EA. Maybe we will be seeing less EA Sports games for the PS3, and maybe Moore 360 games.:D

Agreed. But you know, a lot of people don't want to hear the truth, especially Sony. ;)

Gamers want to buy a PS3, but they just don't want to buy it at the price it's currently at. They also want a lot more quality games on the system. Sorry, but Gundam, Untold Legend and Flat Out ain't going to do it. More games like Resistance, Motorstorm, Heavenly Sword, Uncharted, Ratchet & Clank, DMC4, FFXII & MGS4 with help a lot. It'll happen eventually and the PS3 will finally start catching up. It's not going to happen soon though, even if the PS3 drops to $499.

I agree, where is sonys movie service? It would be cool to rent movies on the PS3 that you cant rent on the 360.

Why would sony want to have a movie download service when the biggest selling point for the PS3 is Blu-Ray?

Dont look at me. I am not Sony, but think about it. They would be stupid to take away the biggest selling point by incorporating a cheaper and more convenient alternative that can already be found on say the 360...

Maybe they have plans for big downloads game wise? Mods for UT3 for instance? Maybe even beyond just mods... User made Maps and characters? I can tell you one thing though. It WON'T be a downloadable movie service. Not without a price drop to match the 360.

room for psn downloable games? i dont know. my guess its for the lazy ppl who dont like to delete stuff. ninja gaiden sigma has a option to dl 5gb on the ps3 to reduce the loading. it didnt help much for that game.

Plus, counter to populary belief. The playstation store has a ton of free stuff to download. If you download a good amount of trailers (all in 1080p) and demos. That alone can take up 20GB of space. And that's not including downloadable games, and caching games like NGS or oblivion...

okay umm, why would sony need a download movie service when we have bluray? also why would we need a movie download service when the PSN is offering FULL downloadable games! i.e. warhawk, SOCOM, GT Prolouge, Tekken...come on guys use your brains, sony in the beginning was all for getting the ps3 up and running making it hard for them to get the dope games in the beginning, but now they have most of it taken care of sony is all for the games!! thats why we need all those GB's, for DOWNLOADABLE GAMES!! ...think people..stop being fanboys

Who cares about movies ? I have On Demand for that. They need to make games instead and lots of them.

are you serious/ They need to make games instead? I didn't realize they were souly making movies, ha.

and on XBL they have really old movies to really new movies, and everything in between. On demand doesn't let you rent old movies. Have you even seen how much is offered on the 360's video marketplace?

PS3 really has no must have games to buy. All you have is Resistance and Sigma unless you played NG on the XBox. And that's why its not worth buying now. If you want movies get Netflix or something.
