Yeah, remember how everyone was psyched for the price-drop regarding the 60GB PS3? Yeah, turns out Sony was only messing with our hearts.
In an interview with w Norwegian website, Kaz Harai himself is quoted as saying:
We’re no longer in production for [the 60GB PS3], so once that product is gone from the retailers shelves, then we’re back to the $599 SKU only, so it’s not like we have a two-price strategy here in the US market, which we found out very early on, that consumers react mostly to having one SKU as opposed to two.
…oh, Kaz… you guys sure know how to squander away ANY good publicity you get. You had a strong showing at E3, you were FINALLY getting the people on your side… and then you go and do this bullshit.
We Americans never get the cool stuff. The Japanese get all the cool Box Art, and the Europeans get all the killer hardware bundles. Case in point, the newest bundle just announced by Sony. With a release date that is not yet known (or I just couldn’t read it since it’s in French, or somethin’.), and a pricetag of €599, this PS3 bundle gives you the 60GB console, two controllers, MotorStorm and Resistance: Fall of Man.
A pretty sweet deal, if you live over in Europa. Now, if anyone can make heads or tails (aka can speak a foreign language) of the news story that broke this, do let us all here at the PS3R know what it says.
Sony needs to impress big in order to gain ANY ground on Microsoft and Nintendo. Let’s hope Sony does more to entertain and impress. In short — I want Kaz Harai to take the stage, and light a poodle on fire only to blow it out with his ice breath.
OMG its here now, and soon it will be on my PC. This is a trailer from Unreal Tournament III and the game will be out this November, I have two words for you … hell yes.
Ladies and Gentlemen, it’s coming. When 2K Sports broke the news on All Games Interactive many moons ago, people were excited. After all, those who loved the 2K series before EA bought the exclusive rights to the NFL were livid because their game, which just happened to be the superior series, was seemingly no more. Well, 2K didn’t let something like a league license stop them, and they are back with All-Pro Football 2K8.
You can pick up your copy on July 17th for both the Xbox 360 and the PS3. You can find the official press release after the break.
Are you wanting a PS3, but haven’t yet thrown down the cash to obtain one? Don’t feel bad — you’re not alone. Are you someone who owns a TON of PS-X and PS2 games, and plan on trading in your PS2 for cash towards the PS3? After all, if you have a PS3, which is fully Backward Compatible, why have the PS2?
Because the PS3 is soon to be not so good at playing your old games. The new 80GB will be ditching the “emotion chip” for a new software-based solution (think of how an Emulator works) that will cut back significantly on the number of classic PS-X and PS2 games you can play. Now, in time you’ll probably be able to play all your old games after a series of Firmware updates, but if you, like me, want instant gratification… get the 60GB.
