Oh, i forgot to mention, sony does give people choice... you can get a ps3 with BC or not, upto you, other option is EBAY, cheaper and with bc? how about it?Xionethic

At the moment your correct but the 60gb version ps3 with bc will are no longer goign to be made and soon wont be available there could be some pretty disapointed kids this christmas.

Yawn, how about making a topic title that represents what is in your topic so we don't have to click and read something so stupid. Or better yet, write a blog...KoolEmpty

I am sorry if i have made this unclear i guess i must have gotten carried away. I made this topic to Discuss sony decissions and why do they keep making decesions that i believe to a lot of gamers seems negative for the playstation.

Over and over again playstation fans get promises and negative responses. I am sure most ppl on gamespot are aware of these (world launch, rumble, bc.). Why does sony keep doing it!

it is really annoying! just when you think they are goign to do something good they change it or do somehting stupid. The latest one was sony getting rid of bc for Australia (unless u run out and get a 60gb while it lasts).

The negative aspect for me in this latest move is not so much bc if they didnt have it from the start it wouldnt be a issue for me but the fact that once again they have annoyed me (and many others). They should atleast give ppl the option of buying a higher priced console.

btw i am not a economy expert but one thing i find hard to understand is how Australia gets hit with a $699 price tag for the 40gb and the US only $399. i know its in US dollars but the Australian dollar is 90 something cents. like i said i am not a expert in economy so any insight is appreciated.

I use to be a sony fan i still am, just not for there latest console (yet). sony it is simple give consumers a fully functional ps3 at a lower price with good games if u need more money stop spending millions on rubbish advertising that no one cares about or on your massive hyping PR machine that everyone can see through. It seems they are forgetting everything that made the PS2 soo great and not to mention this new "home" they have created how many users really would want to waste their time with that!

seriously what is going to generate more money loyalty to fans or some expensive shallow advertising venture. OK OK i will stop now sorry ppl is i have bored you say wateva you like. peace to all the gamers

P.S. thanx to all the ppl that have given me advice on posting :D

[QUOTE="G10mgs4"]

Im tired of holding this in but the real reason the 40 gig has no bc, is because sony is planning to annouce the ps2 at a price of 99.99.

no links, just trust me, i work at sams club, and i have seen it on the computer. its weird though because we havent had ps2's in at sams club since nov of 06

why is it that every forumite on gamespot whos has some kind of mad secret info, never has any info in their profile.. is that to ad to the effect of it being secretive and you might get fired....

anyway, i doubt thats reason, even if they are planning of annoucing a 99.99 ps2, i think the real reason would be to get people to buy the more expensive model, since neither sku is making them a profit, but the 60gb would be less of a financial hit..

which is most likely why they're phasing out the 60gb... and very likely to announce a super duper fully featured 80gb sku, for the gamer who has to have everything

you could buy a good laptop

A thousand dollar car?

You know, that's about the same as Microsoft's ticking time bomb. You'll probably be spending a lot on it for maitenence.
