But let me just say, every time I've complained about Sony's controller design, I take it back. Aside from the fact that it's incredibly dated, at least it was confortable. This is well... humorous at best. Sony should've just added USB support for PC controllers and not included one 
The console is umm... nice... but... ugly. Glad to see someone using Bluetooth (1.1 or 2?), and it's nice to see 1080p and HDMI output. Bravo. If only they could make a game that I cared about, and could sell this thing for a reasonable price. Sure it's going to sell for under $500. $499.99+tax!
Still haven't seen a picture of a game, just heard some announced titles that put me to sleep. They'll sell, but they're just not for me. But please tell me that they gave real-time in-game shots, and not the stupid BS renders that they wowed us with to prove how superior it was to DC.
3 consoles shown, none have "wowed" me. |
I hope you've seen the game play footage being run on unfinished PS3 hardware.... those graphics will wow you.... even if the game isn't your type.
Bluetooth 2.0 EDR (Sony and Ericsson invented Bluetooth... what do you expect?)
Now about the price... let's check out some marketing patterns
Newspapers speculate an up to $700 price tag for the Playstation 2.
Sony launches PS2 in Japan for $379.00
Sony launches PS2 in US for $299.00
Newspapers speculate a $465 price tag for the Playstation 3.
Sony will probably launch in it Japan for $399
And end up launching in the U.S. at $350.00
Sony will keep their price at a competitive price point to keep people interested instead of making them go to Xbox 360.
Everyone knows PS3 looks way more powerful, so $350 would be a justified price point, for the extra horsepower in it....
But if it matches the X1.5 at $299.... EVEN BETTER... I'm not stopping them from doing it....
