No more 60GB PlayStation 3

[quote name='strummerbs']Or you could try to find one like my soon-to-be fiancee, who told me last night to buy her a $500 cheaper ring so I could also pick up a PS3. Might just take her up on the latter part, but I won't be buying her a cheaper ring.[/QUOTE]

LOL I was kind of in the same boat recently. I have a PS3 and was about to sell off my 360. I told her we didn't really need two next-gens at the moment, but she looked at me firmly and said "YES WE DO!"

strummerbs and TahoeMax = two lucky fuckers

When I set my new PS3 up in the living room the wife wouldn't talk to me that night .... that's the first time in 14 years she's gone to be without resolving why she was pissed at me.

Did I need the PS3? No, but I'm glad I got it; every day I'm seeing more and more I like about the system and some of the smart things Sony did (the biggest is sticking to industry standards such as bluetooth, USB, and SATA). I also found it interesting that under settings/system there's an option for "install different operating system".
 
Just when I thought Sony was getting on the right track again they remind us why they are horribly losing this generation.
 
[quote name='seanr1221']They are ALL run by monkeys.

ZING![/QUOTE]


Monkey B puts out $100 20gb HDDs and $200 120gb HDDs, so their pricing isn't quite on the mark either.

but anyway, I agree. This isn't surprising-- the SCEE pres has said stupid shit before. Just like all reps have said stupid shit before.

[quote name='mykevermin']Well, the original number I knew was 6780245%. But, doing my own work, and looking at the BC page on SCEE, along with anecdotes about how the "may work with noticeable issues" games played, showed me that their claim of 72% is dead fucking wrong. So, don't treat like fact that which you are unaware of, particularly when it's so easy to discredit.[/quote]I'm telling you exactly what I know. 90% of the games fucking play on the PS3. You don't know anymore than me.

Denied? Yep. Untrue? Not so sure.

SCEA's response: "As announced this week, SCEA's product offering in North America consists of a 80GB PS3 available in August at $599 and a 60GB PS3 available now for $499. We have will have ample supplies of both models to meet the needs of our consumers for the foreseeable future."

Looks deliberately cryptic to me. It does not address whether or not 60GB are still being manufactured, and the phrase "foreseeable future" means nothing. Six minutes is the "foreseeable future." So is 600 years from now. SCEA didn't answer shit with that response that couldn't be covered in a "no comment."

Show me the "truth" in SCEA's response. Show me where they said "we're still manufacturing 60GB systems." Show me where they said "60GB systems will still be in stores this fall/next year/3 years from now." Show me where the official SCEA response said *anything* of substance.

So Kaz is denying the video we have of him actually saying exactly that? word for word?

I remind you again http://atvs.vg.no/player/?id=10235

Well, again, just from a hardware perspective, the 499 dollar price adjustment that we did for the 60 GB version, for the american market, uh, we're no longer in production for that product, so uh once that product is gone from the retailer 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. We found out very early on, you know, consumers react mostly to just having one SKU as opposed to two.

I prefer "Devil's Advocate" myself. :lol:

It's more the result of too many adolescent years being a punk rock nitwit, and the sort of immediate psychological reaction you develop that regards anything "popular" or "cool" as "crap" (it makes the most sense with regards to music). It's not a very good excuse, but it is how I operate (whether I like it or not).

Do I defend the PS3 here more? Sure, I can't deny that. Do I actually prefer the PS3? Maybe, though I admit I like my 360 and Wii as well. Do I think Sony will "win" this generation? Only if "this generation" lasts 7 years.
 
The funniest part about this is it's basically non news. If you like the price cut, just buy the system now. there are tons of great deals on the 60GB version now with free stuff bundled with it. It's not like there's gonna be another price cut... And even if they happen to price cut the 80GB model without motor storm to $499 this holiday it's only 20GB of hd space.................

this is a non issue either way -_-........

PS3 has nothing I want exclusive at the moment aside from the final fantasy series.

The PS2 was my most played console last gen, but it's looking more and more like I won't get a PS3 at all. It's just way to expensive (even at $500) and exclusive series are jumping ship left and right.

It's said Sony managed to fuck it up so bad this gen, when they did everything right last time around.

The early price drop was giving me some hope we see it in the $250-300 range in another year, but it's not looking good if they are indeed canning the 60gb version.

Last gen, they might a cheap console, with faults, made you buy a network adapter seperately, overpriced small memory cards, made you buy a multi-tap to play multi-player, and a whole lot of stuff. PS2 was basically a PS1 with slightly better graphics and a DVD player. PS3 is so much more and definitely worth it.

They will cut the price down. Like I said before, the 80GB will be $500 once the 60GB model is cleared out. Anyone who doesn't see this is very stupid.

1. Now we see who the Sony fanboy troll is. My god that was such a dumb thing to say. Will you say that once the PS3 sells so little that MGS4 is a 360 title?

2. I did sign up for a site called Cheap Ass Gamer right?

3. How is the PS3 more? There are better graphics, and a blu-ray drive. Your agruement is insane. All the colsoles ever just added a little more. The Wii is so much more than the Gamecube, but you could just come back and say it's it's an Xbox with a dvd remote.

And lastly my favorite quote.. "They will lower the price"... no shit? really? When will they lower the price? Christmas? Next year? 2034?

-Remote play with PSP
-Download games from PS Store
-PSN login with buddy centralized buddy list
-Copy game saves with USB flash, and other devices, without buying expensive memory cards.
-Plug in most any USB device and recognizes it.

1. I hate the MGS series. And I've not cared much for Sony's first party games in general. Only thing I'll miss are the Ratchet and Sly series, and they pretty much beat those to death last generation anyway. It was the overwhelming 3rd party support that made the PS2 the place to be last gen.

2. I can afford $500, I just don't game enough to justify it. Much less for a console that has the fewest exclusives that interest me (only Final Fantasy, and to a much lesser extent, God of War as of right now).

3. I don't care about all the extra crap. I just want to play games. I wouldn't mind a Blu Ray player for my HD TV, but I'm not itching for it either as upconverted DVDs look damn good, and I don't think Blu Ray or HD-DVD will ever catch on in the mainstream the way DVDs have anyway. As such they'll never have the impressive library of films, particularly older titles.

4. $300 or bust for me for a console. Period. Again, games aren't my top hobby any more, and I spend more time doing other thigns otu of the house, and more time watching DVDs when home than I do on games these days. As such, it's just not worth more than $200-300 per console for me.

And again, this is Cheapassgamer.com, so what the fuck to you expect? :D
