Re: Sony's GDC Presentation
very interesting. nice to see that the third parties are interested and signing up.
Hopfully Nintendo can attract the 3rd parties also this gen, but i have visions in my head about they explain thier next console, and ask which 3rd parties would like to sign up and hearing cricket sounds. |
Re: Sony's GDC Presentation
Pretty cool.. But by the sound of it, price of something like the PS3 is gonna be huge unless they make it cost effective by next year.
|
Re: Sony's GDC Presentation
If it's under $500 I will buy it.... anything more... .......
... ... I will still buy it... EDIT: you can almost tell that Cell has been completed... considering they are already showing the ps3 in action to high ups in Sony. |
Re: Sony's GDC Presentation
The console sounds really powerful, but like Jonbo says, I'm fearing the moment when they say "the PS3 will retail at $399"...
Ahh!! Well, maybe it won't be that bad. I'm betting on a $299 retail. Still very expensive. |
Re: Sony's GDC Presentation
whoa... I highly doubt anything like the ps3 will cost $299..... I don't fear, but I'm predicting they launch it at $399 the most reasonable price for something so powerful.
And if the Cell chip can run 2 OS' one that protects crashes and security problems and one that runs the system, I can imagine a console with almost close to no loading time, and absolutely no cases of Freezing...... speaking of which... I was playing URBZ and I had like 200 reputation points then the game froze..... Please... ps3... prevent freezes!! |
Re: Sony's GDC Presentation
I'm going to laugh when they go through all this trouble to make the console never freeze, and I'm playing a game with my friends and all of a sudden it freezes. I will laugh so hard.
And Kyuzo, you do realize that most people do not want to pay upwards of $400 for a console. Most people are not willing to pay a huge sum of money and will wait for the price to drop before buying. At any rate, I think that even if Cell costs a lot of money to produce, that Sony will still price it lower and take a hit for it. The question is, how big of a hit? |
Re: Sony's GDC Presentation
True gamers will refuse to pay anything more $200 for a console.
If the companies won't comply with our budgets, than video gaming will just have to become the rich man's sport. |

My friend works $6.25/hour at McDonalds and he manages to score the hottest games. And I dunno whose budgets your talking about. My friend manages well, working at Mickey D's..... People without jobs... don't even have budgets... In reality.... even if it releases at a all time high of $400, Parents will buy it for their deserving children, and people with part time jobs will save up at least 3 paychecks to get it. Parents are shelling out $250 for an iPod only for music..... so if PS3 releases Fall of 2006, parents will definitely shell out for the holiday season. So if they release it at $200 thats fine and dandy with me, but if it's at $400 or lower............ I can totally understand why. All I know is....... There will always be a way. |
Re: Sony's GDC Presentation
i guarentee you both PS3 and Xbox2 will release at $299.99 American.
the nintendo is a bit more tricky, im kinda thinking 249.99 as an initial price for that. |
Re: Sony's GDC Presentation
Damnit, I agree with Null AGAIN. Whats going on here?
You better stop it, man. I'm starting to get weirded out with all this agreement. And, the point I was trying to make was, yea, some people would still buy the console if it was $400, but when two other consoles are sitting there and they both have good games and they are both $100-$150 cheaper than the PS3, which ones do you think some mom and dads are going to get instead? There's always a way, and that way is to get a different console :p |
Re: Sony's GDC Presentation
Arrgghhh... you totally just owned me and I am not afraid to admit it.
So long as there are die hard Sony fans with good jobs, Sony will own the console market! 'Tis why Sony targets older audiences, because young adults from the age of 16 and older usually will have jobs by that age.... if they don't have jobs by 16..... then somethings wrong |

someone needs to study the market a little more :nono: tens of millions of console gamers prove your little theory wrong About the PS3...everything's sounding good. 3rd parties signing contracts is always a plus (although expected). |
Re: Sony's GDC Presentation
The price is turning me off. I'll have to hold out, until I actually have money, but I'll definetly own one. :]

Re: Sony's GDC Presentation
Thats what I meant when I said speculated price. My speculated price :D
Sorry to confuse. |
Re: Sony's GDC Presentation
the Subway toasted club sandwich I was going to have tonight sounded good, but some tap-dancing hobo said it would probably cost $600 (and that I should drop out of school, but that's besides the point)...and that's a little too rich for my blood
the preceeding story is probably true |
Re: Sony's GDC Presentation
Are you calling me a tap-dancing hobo, Mr. Stu?
