I'm aware that with all these technologies, the PS3 can't be offered at a price that's targeted towards households. I think everyone can still buy it if they wanted to," said Kutaragi to a mostly Japanese crowd. "But we're aiming for consumers throughout the world. So we're going to have to do our best (in containing the price)."

Then Kutaragi issued a somewhat ominous warning. "I'm not going to reveal its price today. I'm going to only say that it'll be expensive," he stated.

Too bad. I was considering buying a PS3, but apparently it's way too expensive.

Maybe I'll just buy a PS2 when the price drops.

Thats lame, I'd buy one but why the hell did they change the controller, should of kept it classic.

What games are you excited about that have been announced?

[edit]They violated patent laws with the dual shock so they had to change it. The dual shock was pretty bad anyway. But the PS3 controller is the worst.

[HongKongDong]

^^ Oh yeah I heard about that.

The game im most excited about for now is Vision Gran Turismo.

But once an NbA//Basketball game comes out, im after it!

Heh. I used to like the Grand Turismo series. But after seeing Forza Motorsport, Polyphony Digital is going to have to do something extraordinary to convert me back.

But what I don't understand is people are already set on a console when they don't even know what games are coming out for it yet! Are you willing to pay $500 to play Gran Turismo and whatever NBA game?

[edit]

Oh yeah, and



Seriously, I used to be excited about the PS3 until Ken Kutaragi opened his mouth.

[xchrystizzle]

thats gonna be super AWESOME i cant wait x) psh microsoft is just JEALOUS. i dont like xbox. SONY ROCKS xD hmm i gotta tell my dad bout this. cuz he plays more than i do i bet it wont be THAT expensive -_-;;

[*xcaitlinx*]

i'll stick to my xbox =) and i hate playstation anyway. cant wait till the new xbox comes out.

[*kryogenix*]

All old memory cards will not work on the ps3.

[hall0w]

i think it loox ugly

The PS3's Graphics Processor is weaker than the GeForce 7800. What is supposed to be "next-gen" is now current-gen on PC.

My brother is selling our PS2 to get a PS3...NOOO. It looks SOO expensive. How do I know if it has good games? And the controller looks like it can slip off my fingers any time because of its shape.

Bad move. I'd keep the PS2. I'm thinking of picking up a PS2 cheaply once the PS3 launches so I can play all the Gundam games

I agree with you but my brother is SOOO stubborn.

PS3 ports will be more difficult to make. Just as I had said earlier, Cell makes it difficult for developers to program for.

I agree. Maybe sony will add the option for it to be used like a phone.

down with sony!!

Up with Microsoft?! What are you smoking!?

i personally like the controller design, looks unique. the bottom will probably not be totally smooth so it wont just slip right out.
as for the price, sony wants you to "work more hours"
but seriously, dont u have enough time to get money? from here to spring is pretty much half a year, and even at 5 bucks a day you should have enough for it when it comes out

The controller looks awful. The segmented arrows aren't even put on straight.

I don't care if I can make enough money for it. That money could be going towards better things. I don't think the PS3 can provide me with $700 worth of entertainment.

If you want it bad enough, you'll find some way to pay for it. Personally, I don't think it's worth it yet (maybe if they get a lot of must have games and drop the price, I'll consider it). If the PS3 doesn't get attractive a few months after launch, then I'm picking up a PS2 instead.
