Since the lunch of the PS3 almost everyone in the web has been like crazy waiting for price drops and speading rumors of them. This in my opinion have affected the sales of it and they arent' taking into account that the more they wait the closer they are to see a the next successor without playing many of the games available like the early adopters. An example of this is my own experience, wile i was playing Metal Gear Solid 4, Uncharted, Soulcalibur IV and many other games what where they doing? Waiting with a deadly desire to play these games. May of them waited almost 3 years to get the dam thing at a price drop wile they had the money to buy overpriced Ipods, Iphones,Netbooks and other things.:?

Without knowing after the lunch of the PS3 Slim model many of these people where like ignorants in every forum possible so happy telling the wole world: I got a PS3 Slim at half the price of the origina and this one is superior.:lol: For me these people are so hilarious and funny becase they talk without knowing a thing about the original model. They payed less and have less, the Slim unit exterior is not the highquality of the first one with a metallic top, they don'thave touch pannel buttons for on and off. they don't have the power swich at the back, they don't have 2 USBs, have lost all the SD card slots and the full PS2 bc. How in the word they think they have something superior?:?

People use to thing that when a console drop the price they only difference is the GPU and CPU size and cost but in reality they keep getting cheaper in every way plus sometimes this brings less reliability. I had one of the early non bc 80GB models and i can tell this is the truth by my experience, i remember the disc drive slot was like the ones from early Wiis where you began to inser the games in and they get suck staight and fast like if there were some kind of detector inside of it but now with the Slim model they enter into it at a slower space and rotating.

Here we are in almost four years after the lunch of the PS3 and new rumors of a price drop are spreading in the web. This has became an addiction this gen and i thing it need to be stop. I personally don't see the PS3 getting below the price of $200 after the arrival of a successor and if this were true it may end being less reliable. Last gen systems like the GameCube where lunched at $200 and in the end of them they were lowered at just $100 and they werent able to do all the things this gen consoles do, movies DVD and Blueray, downloads, updates etc. If this trend continues we may end cutting the lifespan of the curren gen by half and killing them faster than ever. When people in the web aren't talking about a price drop of the PS3 they are talking about how much they cost to produce and how much Sony is gaining. This is like saying: I am not gonna buy a game or anime art book because they only cost the manufacturer 5 to 10 dollar to make. Do you have the millions of dollars for the equipment to create them?:shock:

How many overpriced products we buy every year? and we don't stay waiting and waiting for price cuts and rumors. I you're a gamer and want a system like the PS3plus have the money go out there to your local stores and get one, start having fun with it the most you can before hearing the announce ment of a successor. Have fun and happy gaming.:P
