I wonder what the long-term effect of double-dipping in the VG industry will be? From a consumer standpoint any game that relies heavily on DLC looks to be a much better bargain if you just wait, and unlike movies games don't cost 19.99.

I can tell you I had no interest in purchasing Fallout3 till their GOTY was announced with all the content. Question is hows the PS3 port of it play? |

Having played it on the 360 and PC, I can assure you that it doesn't matter how it plays, you should get it on the PC.

Fallout 3 was exactly what I was thinking of specifically.
Although I guess the comparison to movies is flawed in that you can't buy things like commentary as DLC for a DVD. When DVDs double dip typically the later editions offer things you couldn't get anywhere else, whereas games offer things you could already get just as a more attractive bundle.

Games with paid DLC generally tend to come in cheaper when the bundled versions are released.
I don't see a problem with this. It's essentially the same thing many games with expansions already do. Offer a "gold" or "platinum" version with all of the expansions included. Grabs people on the fence, bargain seekers and others. It's not going anywhere as a strategy.
Some games have hurt their potential for not going this route.
People that want the game and don't care about saving $30 dollars a year down the road will still buy it at release. Future DLC isn't going to affect my purchases one bit. Of course, I've tended to ignore DLC for the most part as I rarely think it's worth the purchase.

Any game, DLC or not is a better bargain if you wait. GOTY editions don't generally save you much, if any additional money over buying the base game (which will be heavily discounted at that point) plus all the DLC included in the GOTY version. |

This for sure ^^ I've just ordered 3 games for £40, much nicer than 1 for £40  You just have to wait 3-6 months. |

Essentially you pay the premium for the content sooner than others, even DLC works this way. The big problem I see for companies is when they start releasing a relaunch pack and not adding some of it to DLC for their customers who paid the premium, like LA is doing with SW:Unleashed repack. That gets under my skin because I already paid and it definitely makes me want to wait on their games in the future. That could have some impact on future launch sales, maybe.
Don't punish me for paying you more money, earlier.

That pretty much takes the piss outta the press conference, as if everything else didn't before. |

I haven't posted yet because nothing notable has happened. They're doing their normal song and dance about numbers.

I am very interested to learn if GAMESCOM deserves a thread hijack.

It's a 2 hour press conference and Microsoft and Nintendo have exactly nothing in SonyLa,, errrrrr Europe. Yea, it'll probably be "important." It'd be a lot more important if someone had lugged a fucking video camera there.

The most shocking thing about this press conference thus far, and I have 3 different live blogs open, all using Cover It Live, is how slow of a typer Crecente is - we're talking dog slow. Jem Alexander at SCEE however is a maelstrom of words. I wish they would have LBP sackboys as the characters instead of trying duplicate them in modnation. I disagree with what you said. Modnation racers is aping a few select designer toy styles with incredible precision. |

Bah. I'm going to have to wait for the summary before I return to proclaim "N U T ' S I N Y O U R M O U T H" or not.
Unless we want to start taking shots at Crescente.

Pondering with the ebook reader stuff as of late you will be able to sync etc

PSP Apps are called Minis. Instead of you know, "Games." In 15 seconds, we'll know if they have balls to make indie games.
Wait, make that 0 seconds, and no. Still going to be licensed shit. Not taking on the iPhone this round!

No mention of BC that I saw. And I wonder if the slim will have as easily replaced a drive as the regular ps3.

Whoa, the PS3 in the US is 1/3rd the price it is in Europe and slightly less even than in Japan?

Nope "same features" was the wording so no BC. Not like you could of really expected it as its been totally ripped out now for a while of the PS3. |
