With everything we know now from Phil Harrison lies to missing components and empty promises does anyone think SONY will end up in a good position? I STILL cant understand why everyone who wants a PS3 is happy about a Blu-Ray player being included...I mean its a combo electronic device (BIG NO-NO) if your PS3 breaks then your movie player is broken too...who the hell buys combo devices? Old people do.....thats about it

I don't really give a damn about hardware features like Blu Ray, but as long as Sony's system is getting stuff like MGS 4, I'm pretty much forced to buy the system.

Sony will be ok. For all the shit that I give them, they wouldn't be in business if they were stupid. I truly don't like Blue-Ray, some of their practices, and the $600 price tag is just ing asinine to me, but I don't see them going anywhere.

Wouldnt be surprised to see this on 360 in the future...lol

I will still buy one at launch.

I never supported SONY, i supported RPGs. I could care less what console is made by whom, as long as it has games I want to play. I won't spend $600 on a console, but as great games come out and the price drops, eventually the two lines intersect and thats when it's time to purchase.

Yep its all about the games

They did the same thing when the PS2 came out (Still waiting for the Toy Story graphics) and people still ate them up. Sony isn't worried.

Myself, I love my 360 and will wait for a true price drop or a Killer App for my PS3 purchase

I have a love hate relationship with Sony. I hate their hardware. I can only get certain games on their systems though...and I like the fact that their systems are backwards compatible. I'm waiting though this gen to see how things pan out before jumping in.

I could care less if Sony lied as long as we got those amazing Rpgs, stradegy, and games like guitar hero or katamary damacy.

I'll wait for Assassins Creed to come out to judge...this is the only game I have seen that would make me purchase a PS3 at this point. Of course, if they anounce a 360 version...

I think I read somewhere that the E3 version was running on a 360. It was a story on IGN but they took it down. Can't seem to find the link to the original article anymore.

Ubisoft hasn't denied that AC will be on the 360 though.

I'll wait 1-3 years for the dust to settle and a few models of the PS3 are released to get the bugs and kinks out of the system. If the 360 had so much funk with it during launch, I shutter to think what the PS3 will go through.

I'll wait a year, and my money will go where the games are. I'm not really interested in paying $60 a game for ANY of the new systems, so I'll wait until there is some used or discounted stuff too. It doesn't really matter what any Sony rep, or any other brand for that matter says, you can always read the box of the product you are buying to find out what it does.

I hardly ever watch DVD's because I think they usually aren't worth buying, so Blu-Ray won't mean anything to me. But it is nice that I can just use the PS2 to play something when I do want to watch it. For that reason I wouldn't buy the PS3 for its Blu-Ray function.

I don't care what company makes what system, and I also don't really care what kind of business they do since I'm not a shareholder of any of them. If I can only afford to purchase one system, I will go with whatever one has the most games that I like. For the last two generations of systems that has been Sony's machine, but that could change here and only time will tell. If MGS4 can come out for the 360, that will be a significant factor for me since right now thats the main game I'm interested in for PS3.

Crap. I voted for #3 but I definitely plan on doing #4 about 3 or 4 times over and then if I make enough money off of that I might keep one for myself... there are too many dumbasses out there who will pay $1,000 if there are shortages...

what do you guys do if there are no shortages? lose money?

Return the systems where I bought them - it's a win-win...

W00t!!!! I hope you're right!!!!!

There will definitely be shortages...a near-thanksgiving/xmas launch almost guarantees it.

The question is, how big will the margin be? I wouldn't be surprise if it's at least 100%

The other thing is, it may be difficult to even secure ONE. With all the gauging that happened with the 360 (even ebay semi-encouraged it), the speculators/prospectors will be out in full force. Which means, once again, the true gamers get screwed over by the mainstream crowd.

I'd like to say I'll wait a year or so to get a PS3 once there's a price drop, which is probably the best way to go about, but there is that obsessive tech geek part of me that really makes me want to pick one up at launch. Of course unless I win the lottery I'll probably be best off going with the first option. I've resisted the 360 thus far, so I think I can handle avoiding the PS3 for awhile. The Wii on the other hand. . .
