man, sony so ripped off nintendo
May 8th, 2006 at 11:37 pm
ok two things here:
1st, 8:15pm - Final Dev. systems are shipping now “6 months before launch” - does that mean the launch is december? instead of oct?
and 2nd $500 for the 20giger, thats pretty outrageous…
does anyone know the figures for the xbox 360’s launch?

i heard about the two prices for the PS3 earlier this morning on the news, it makes me pretty upset.. i don’t think i’m getting one now.
they also said the launch was November 18th.

It’s a small price to pay for a system that will let you watch the Matrix Trilogy in HD.
May 9th, 2006 at 2:28 pm
The price point s a bit much, will Sony fans go for this deal?
