With the system at the maximum generally accepted price of $500 for a console will make the PS3 a worthy competitor come fall and onward. Sony has NEVER been the quickest out of the starting gate, however their slow and steadily growing library has ALWAYS been their key to succes.

As for this thing about pissing on people who already have the system. I think the majority of early adopters are usually realists and for thoes who arn't should come to the turms with the fact that price drops are guarenteed to happen. And if they don't like that then that's simply too bad because no one else is gonna care.

Jam it back in, in the dark.

Still the price drop can only be good for Sony. And unlike Microsoft, when they see the 80Gig version not selling they WILL discontinue it.

Also the fact that most 360 buyers are going for the Elite system and that the PS3 is now only about $20 more + Blu-Ray, this will definately start bringing the hardcore over to Sony especially when LAIR and Warhawk come out.

There's nowhere I can't reach.

@Aardark
There's not much to go on figure wise, only trends. The trend around here is that most new adopters of the 360 and some already owners are picking up the Elite 360, simply because they think it's "better", (don't forget the US is the ONLY place with the video marketplace and I'm in Canada). How do I know about this trend you say, I work at a video game store, so while it's a small sample, it's something.

I also have friends who work at Best Buy and Futureshop and an EB games and they've also noticed the same thing. So while it may not be a NY TIMES figure or something, with the way MS is we'll never see real figures for it for another two years at the earliest (look how long it took for a failure rate analysis), so it's the best as a person can get.

This thing is sticky, and I don't like it. I don't appreciate it.

No they don't however it seems that MS has cut the development team of the BC Compat project to three bums and a mascott at the pace they're going.

However there is now FINALLY Unreal Championship 2 support on the 360 which is what I was waiting for. Now I have 5 of 37 original games that play on the 360, Woo Hoo!!!

I am a dolphin, do you want me on your body?
