ps3-s only salvation:

price cut. big one.

a) redesign the system

PS3 V2 ( for the oppressed masses)

1) Full Backward Compatibility (PS2)

2) SAME CELL. SAME RSX. SLIMER.

3) NO BLURAY DRIVE. NO HDD.

4) 2GB FLASH BASED STORAGE (CACHING / SAVING)

5) Standard DVD DRIVE.

6) VGA / DVI / S-VIDEO OUT

7) retail price: $299

b) redesign the Philosophy

out of the box next gen experience (ditch the hd gaming nonsense)

800 x 600 + 2XAA mandatory for all games

looks good on LDTV

looks good on HDTV

makes the system a viable option

fanboy tears T__T

BUT WHAT ABOUT BLU RAY?!!!

-keep the current mess / for the hardcore cinefile "elite"

BUT WHAT ABOUT THE 50GB GAMES?!!!

- SPOUT BS ABOUT A NEW / REVOLUTIONARY / PATENTED / NEVER BEFORE SEEN / DATA -TEXTURE COMPRESSION ALGORITHM

DEVELOPED BY SNY FOR "THE CELL" THAT ONLY WORKS FOR DECOMPRESSING GAMES AND GET THIS. NOT MOVIES.

Sony does this and it has a chance ( not againt the wii, 2 late)

I agree with allot of that, but blu-ray and PS3 are likr brothers. Ps3 is selling blu-rays, and the PS3 itself is a cheap blu-ray player, PS3 needs blu-rays. Although the the rest looks good...email it to sony :P, rather than just telling us.

[QUOTE="mmirza23"]i don't know who in the Sony marketing dept thought the casual consumer would know anything about blu-ray or how it's different from standard dvd, ask most people out there they dont know wtf 1080p and 50gb dual layer disc even means, that being said, im totally satisfied with my ps3 it has all the multimedia features, hd disc format and a gaming console(i can wait for the games) all in one. People shouldnt be so quick to bash it without doing some research as to what you're getting into for $600.machitocaliente

ist a good value. if you want a bluray player that can also play some games. the thing is . most people dont want a $600 gaming console.

No blu-ray drive= no PS3 game can be played (that includes no HD too)

Cedmln

[QUOTE="SeanDiff"]If that was the original PS3 I wouldnt have bought it.FlashMan2006

lol. I feel the same about the Wii. If it were $600 I definitely wouldn't have bought it. No way in hell am I that crazy or nerdish. The world is not ready for HD gaming. How can it be ready if HDTVs are not in the majority of households yet??? How about you wait until they are and then you come out with your HD + "HD/blueray"DVD console.

does it? i dont think so. sony wants blu-ray to succed. but if the ps3 is a failure it migth not happen. by having 2 versions

they can focus on the gaming part first and using the current ps3 model they can try to push their bluray format as hard as they want.

You are in the minority. The rest of us are going to get larger, better, and brighter HDTVs than you, when they become standard, and the price comes down a bit. But remember, you bought it first, and that's all that really matters, right?

There has to be sacrifice for the sake of pushing the limits of technology forward,in this case,the temporary sacrifice is a higher price tag than our competitors(Due to Blu-ray ofcourse) If the Wii were able to deliver next-gen graphics,supported DVD playback and had a HD,I wouldn't hesitate in purchasing it.As it stands,it lacks all I mentioned,thus I do not see the reason in supporting 7 year old hardware.

It is the duty and responsibilities of companies to recognize when new technology is needed, and when it is not. Currently, the HD era is arriving, but it is not yet hear, let the consumers accept HD, and it will soon be standard. But pushing HD on a loyal consumer (i.e. PS fan) is not right. PS fans really want a PS3, making them pay $600 for it isn't right, and it's not good for business.

As we can clearly see, some of those PS fans are moving to a console that wii think is fun.

I've only seen Disney stuff on Blu-Ray.But then again, I'm not really in the market for movies on either format, I haven't been looking too hard.

Sorry about that, Disney is siding with both companies, they're using the "wait and see" strategy.

Metal Gear Solid 4 is the PS3's only salvation. If that game were to lose exclusive rights, the PS3 would face extintionALCATRAZZ3

i think the ps3's doing fine its been out a short time (under 3 months in the uk!) the main thing is its expensive but if u want a price cut wait for it don't say they should gimp the system, u'll be missing out otherwise!

cheapness1

Price drop isn't coming, or at least, if Sony likes to have money, it isn't coming. Sony is losing too much money already, they won't drop the price, until the PS4 COMES OUT! OH YEAH I'M READY FOR MY $6,000 CONSOLE!

4.It is a home entertainment system.What this means is,it is meant to provide entertainment to you and your family at home.The Ps3 is a hi-def gaming,movie,music,and internet system,all combined into one neat(And might I add)shiny package.Dualshockin

Jack of all trades, master of none. The PS3 tries too hard to concentrate on these "extras" (make no mistake - these are but mere addons), and lacks in games. Playstation is a GAMING CONSOLE, not a media centre. That is what it is advertised as.

This is why i believe Pc gaming is dead Dualshokin

This is simply ridiculous, PC gaming has been around for much longer than all consoles, and it will outlive them in the future as well. I'm fairly certain you said so yourself, the PS3 is, "like a PC". This is proof consoles are becoming PC's, in the future, there may be no differentiation between the two. One exception is the Wii.

what's the point of playing Crisis with Wii graphics?Dualshockin

You confirm it, you feel graphics are more important than gameplay. Crisis brings more than graphics to the table, yet you say it is not worth playing without them.

I am concerned by the way people think these days, there seems to be little logic at all on these boards, save for a few people.

Please give me more points to argue on.

By 2009,HD will be the dominant format across the board,HD movies,HD televisions,HD gaming,you name it.Now ask yourself:How many years will the Ps3 have left in it's life by then?Many.Dualshokin

And yet, by this time, it will be horribly outdated, hardware wise, by the PC.
