Sony is screwing the faithful gamer....

This thread has nothing to do with the PS3 being a good or bad system. This thread has nothing to do with it's comparison to 360 or Wii. This thread has EVERYTHING to do with how Sony is screwing everyone over by not making up their damn minds with their system. Seriously....when in the history of video games has a company changed its model and price SO MANY times?? I bought a 60gb at launch and since then they have scrapped the 20g...introduced the 80g...scrapped the 60g ...... remade the sixaxis to Dual Shock 3.....and now is making a 40g with no BC and they give you Blu-ray of Spiderman 3.

WHAT ABOUT THOSE GAMERS THAT BOUGHT IT AT LAUNCH???????? We were the first to own Sony's latest gaming machine and our reward for that............bend over boys and no lubrication. At least Nintendo gives the over zealous a new strap for their Wii remotes and haven't realeased 4 different Wii systems. And at least M$ extended its warranty to 3 years to cover its quite defective machine (until recently that is). What has $ony done???? NOTHING!!!!! This ranks up there with the 32x coming out on the Sega Genesis.

Anyone else pissed off at Sony?? Don't you think those of us that bought systems already are entitled to something....anything.....I mean friggin mail me a copy of Spiderman 3.....something...anything. Sony is screwing over gamers and just goes about its business like they have screwed up. Or do we chalk this up to experience not to buy a system at launch and wait a bit?? But then where is the fun in that when all the new stuff comes out??

Oh and I have a 360 and a Wii so please lay off the Fanboy remarks. No trolls please...

WHAT DO YOU WANT, A COOKIE!!!

You've gotta be kidding me. You feel that you are entitled to more than what you paid for?  What will you do when you buy a car and then the model changes the following year, sue Toyota? Grow up. If you felt that Sony is cheating you, then sell your system and let it go. 

I just bought a 60gig 3 weeks ago, then they dropped the price of the 80 today. Am I mad, no. I made a big boy decision an I'm cool with that. The problem is that some folks are not saisfied with what they have. 

As for being an early adopter, your should fully be aware that those are usually the ones who pay the most for a system that is normally full of bugs i.e. the Xbox 360. So hate Sony if you want, that you are entitled to, but if you think you are owed something more because you were the first kid on your block that bought a pretty good $600 multimedia/gaming machine; You're out of your mind. Maybe you should have waited two or three more years, oh but maybe by then you would have something else to complain about.

then what is the xbox 360 elite???

more like there giving a big screw you to all the early adopters, seriously why so many SKUS and price drops??

ok sure 360 did it too but at least it waited almost a year and a half to release another SKu

People who buy ANYTHING at launch always pay a premium. If you bought the console at launch without realizing the price would drop at some point, or come with special bundles...then you are the most naive and ignorant customer on planey earth.

Oh I am fully aware of price drops and different bundles down the road. But NEVER in the history of gaming has a company done this in under 1 year of it's launch.

so wait, a company never priced drop in under a year. Hmmm, lets see, xbox came out in North America on November 15, 2001 at 300 dollars. The first price drop was May 15th, 2002 to 200 dollars in North America. That is only 6 months after release and even quicker in the other countries.

Year, never in the history of gaming has there been a price drop in under a year. Right.
