[QUOTE="Zaibach"]

PS3 this ps3 that am sick of the ps3 news around here, its all you all seem to talk about there are other systems

AdmiralBison

This is system wars- He is trying to promote the PS3.

No, not really. I just wanna see what the situation will be like for the PS3 by the time I graduate and can finally get one for my own apartment. I know it's unlikely, but I just, for whatever reason, think it's somehow going to "die" (for lack of a better term) within a year. When you think about it, for being the most expensive console during a recession, it's definitely managed to do quite well. But part of me just can't help but think that the 360 and Wii have so much momentum that they'll eventually push it out of the race, if that makes sense. Plus, Sony seems to taking one step forward, two steps back recently. So I suppose that, if nothing else, I'm just trying to convince myself that I'm being paranoid. Anyway, sorry if I went off topic. So it turns out the Best Buy bundle is real. But what scenarios are we looking at with the Slim? Will it be BC? And how sure can we be of a price cut by the holidays?

Hey, this is another question for which I'd like some honest feedback: If the PS3's price remains constant and BC doesn't come back but the 360's and Wii's prices drop, how long can it remain on the market before it, as I said before, goes the way of the Dreamcast? And how much faith should we put in Ars Technica's mole? Again, I'm just trying to gauge the worst-case scenario, so please don't take this as fanboyism or trolling.

This may seem a little vague, but what should we make of the recent barrage of rumors that have come out regarding the PS3? Which of them should we believe and which are **** 1.) BC coming back. 2.) MGS4 and KZ2 bundle at Best Buy. 3.) PS3 slim to be released in July. 4.) PS3 slim being manufactured in Taiwan. 5.) PS3 price drop in August, Fall, or by the holidays. Which of these rumors are actually backed by solid evidence? And what do we make of Sony's denials or silence regarding them? They've been ignoring consumer demands for a while now, so what reason do we have to believe they'll stop doing so any time soon? Finally, and this is a continuation of one of my previous posts, taking all of these rumors into account, what can we expect in the future for the PS3? And what happens if none of them are true, and things continue as they have been for the last year or so? Also, like I did with the other posts, I posted the same topic in other forums. I didn't do this to troll, but rather to get as much feedback as possible. I don't know if "System Wars" is the right place for this, so the mods might end up moving it.

In addition, how do you think the PS3 slim will affect the future of the PS3? If there really is one coming out, I might look at getting that.

But isn't the gap between the 360 and the PS3 widening? Also, aside from some supposed "mole" at Ars Technica, what reason do we have to believe that the price will drop other than hunches? And how sure can we be that they're bringing back BC? Maybe it's the pessimist in me, but is it really that ridiculous to think it'll be obsolete in a year?

Future looks good.. if we just consider exclusives i'll probably get all of the below

Uncharted 2, MAG, GT5, GOW3, The Last Guardian, Heavy Rain, Modnation Racers, FF Versus, Demon Souls, Ratchet & Clankand WKC... Hoping we'll see an EU/US version forYakuza 3..

surely there are others in development which i either forgot or else still to be announced :)

But does that really matter? Exclusives are great, but the price (which shows no indication of dropping aside from rumors which are proven false again and again) keeps so many people from buying it. Plus, its reputation is nowhere near that of the 360 or Wii. So, aside from exclusives, what does it have going for it? Just playing devil's advocate.

[QUOTE="Toriko42"]God of War 3 and Uncharted II is all that is notable, regardless of what any Cow will say. It's worth investing in one but if you are straight out of college wait for a price drop, you'll thank me when it comes around Christmas to early next year

Do we know if there will even BE a price drop? We've been waiting for one for years and it never comes.

First of all, let me just say that I've posted this on a few other forums because I want to get as much feedback as possible, so please don't flame me or accuse me of trollng or fanboyism. I graduate from college and start work in six months and I really want to buy a PS3 once I actually start earning, from my own money. But the way things are going for it right now leaves me wondering if, six months or a year from now, it'll even be relevant. So I gotta ask: what do you think lies in PS3's future?
