As if Sony could not do any worse...

[Strazos]

I'm now getting word that Sony has cut the number of PS3s they shipping to all GameStops, nationwide. This probably also holds true for EB. Who knows, Sony may have cut NA's entire allocation of systems.

For instance, my GS took 8 reserves. We are receiving 6 units. Apparently, other stores are even worse off. Another store took 8 reserves on the 60GB version of the system, but they will only get in 4, and only 2 20GB systems.

Friday is going to be a very fun day for people who reserved PS3s. As if it wasn't hard enough to get a reserve, and with Lik Sang shut down, it might be very tough indeed to get ahold of one of these systems. The filthy e-Bay resellers should have a ball though.

Advice: Be the first fucking person to the register to pick up your reserve.

[schild]

EB and Gamestop are the same thing. So yea, they cut both.

I have... fucked two people out of their PS3s so my friend and I can get them. If there was ever a reason to preorder anything you plan on buying, this is it. Get those people to like you. It makes things easy on launch days.

Also, the local manager is coming in at midnight Thursday to sell me mine even though they aren't doing a midnight launch. Come Friday, there will be a grand total shipment of... 4.

Though, Ebay. How it taunts me.

[Strazos]

I cannot fathom how high that damn $600 system is going to resell for on eBay. Or who would be stupid enough to pay the kind of prices we will see. I imagine the pain of buying one through eBay will be akin to being raped by a gorilla.

With no lube. While you're suffering from hemorrhoids.

Ebay it and then buy another one around March.  You know, when some halfway decent games might actually be released.

[Jeff Kelly]

Captain obvious to the rescue. I will never quite understand that people are willing to spend twice or thrice as much as the suggested retail price on a ps2/3 or X-Box 3something just so that they can have it on launch day.

Let's face it, launch day for most consoles sucks. You have around 3 1/2 games to choose from where not one is even halfway decent, the first batch of every console is prone to be faulty because the manufacturer still has to tune the manufacturing process and so on.

So why not wait 3 to 5 months until the first glitches have been worked out and there are at least a few, you know, games that are actually worth playing? Preordering I can understand, but not the willingness to spend $1000 and more just so that I am the first to have the new shiny.

BTW. The X-Box 360 is out now for nearly a year, any hints on price drops or maybe a redesign?

[Miasma]

I guess there are a couple hundred old games that don't work right on it too.  That probably shouldn't come as a huge surprise.  The Sony fanboys can't really mock the Microsoft fanboys about backwards compatability anymore though.

I tried to look at their launch titles and the only one that was remotely interesting was a shooter which was generic in every way except for being in the 1930's and fighting an alien/monster army instead of the nazis.

[Yegolev]

Two things I get from that: Software emulation, and I will need a net connection to make the fucking thing work properly.

I will hold off on the "keke" until next week.

[Trippy]

Right, cause having ~30% of all Xbox titles working on the Xbox 360 is the same as having 90%+ of all PS2 titles working on the PS3

[Trippy]

I will hold off on the "keke" until next week.

The PS3 includes the PS2 chips inside of it -- i.e. there is no software emulation going on for the CPU and GPU like there is on the Xbox 360. Compatibility problems stem from some of the features they left out and some of those problems will be fixed with software emulation patches (like what Microsoft is doing).

[Yegolev]

OK, I can believe that.  I have not read the full specs, of course, but I mentally coupled this with the previous announcement that there would not be any form of enhancement of legacy software, which is present in the PS2.

[Sky]

The PS2 is a chip.

I don't understand why people buy on launch day, except to ebay to other people who have zero patience to play a handful of games at a premium. I wouldn't even bother looking at a PS3 until next summer at the earliest, especially given Sony's past launch hardware issues.

[Yegolev]

So it's a chip.  Apparently a half-assed one, even though it is copyrighted 2003?  What would stop them from putting the PS1 chip that is already in the PS2 into the PS3?  Sneaky bastards.  I see now that the assertion that the PS3 is a computer will extend to the realm of downloading patches for things that are broken on release.  It's almost time for that "keke"!

[Sairon]

If you're intrested in games, single and have a decent pay check, then it's not that expensive. I'd guess quite there's quite a few of those people around.

[Yegolev]

People without wives and kids but with a job can afford a PS3 with no problem.

[Sky]

True. I bought my tv when I was single.

[Signe]

I have no wife, no kids, no job!  All I have is my money!

No, it really IS too expensive. It isn't "if you can afford it," it's based on the history of the market and that company in particular. One SUCCESSFUL console has launched with price points that high (360, though the jury's still out on long-term success), but a number of unsuccessful consoles have shipped like the NeoGeo and the 3DO. It's just a bad idea, especially when the losses being taken on every single console sold are so big. It's bad business and it's bad for the consumer, because now they expect consoles to be priced that high. Or they buy it, see shiney retread games like RIDDDDDDDDDGEEEE RACER! and feel fucked in the ass. Which is what they are if they buy this thing in the first year.

For a console, yes it's very expensive. If you consider the hardware I think it's a reasonable price though, iirc they're even doing a loss on each console sold. I'd never pay $600 for a wii or a 360, not because they're a worse console as a whole, but because there's nothing in either the 360 or wii that warants a high price tag. However, if you want BD and buy into that the cell is the shit, then I find it to be reasonable.

You don't buy a system so you can sit around admiring the hardware inside it.  At launch and for some time after, there just aren't any games that justify spending that kind of money on the PS3.  I could afford to buy one if I really wanted, but the Wii and the 360 both look like better purchases to me at the moment.

[Signe]

We're not buying a Wii or a PS3 and we've not bought a 360 yet.  And it IS the principle.  Those things are not only way over priced, but sometimes new stuff explodes.  Sheesh... all that money and you can't even wear them on your feet!

[Cheddar]

... it IS ... feet!

[schild]

Hey guys.

I don't have a wife or kids.

This isn't expensive.

Also, Monster Hunter PS3 and a few other titles that _will_ eventually come out, make it worth having the cheapest Blu-Ray player on the market.

ALSO, RIDDDDDDGE RACER. Oh, and Genji 2. A bunch of sites are giving it a 5-6 out of 10. The original averaged a 7 or so. That means it should be just below fucking awesome. I'm ok with that.

Oh, and Resistance. Weeeee.

[Strazos]

You're nuts.

[Rasix]

People reserve 5s and 6s for complete tripe. Sounds like a worse launch lineup than the PSP.

It's OK to not be buying it for the launch lineup.  The system should have loads of potential.

Yes, a console isn't better than the games made for it, that's true. I guess they could skip BD, skip the cell and go with some generic CPU, skip the hard-drive and skip blue tooth among some things. Doing that they could cut down on price and probably getting a higher installed user base at the cost of tech. However, there's a market for high end technology, there's people out there willing to pay up for the extras. If it's a smart move to buy it at launch for triple the price is arguable, for most people it's just stupid. However, some people are anticipating the PS3 and are prepared to pay the price, it's pretty understandable in fact. I know people who have over $1000 after living expenses payed, I bet you people know some of those too. Why shouldn't they buy it if they're anticipating the console then? Don't forget there's a warranty coming with the console.

Wii is already targeting the segment that thinks the price for console is going up to fast, and the hardware reflects just that.

BTW, I'm well aware of the fact that for all we know PS3 might suck balls, it might not be the technological power house it's made out to be. 

[Velorath]

I know people who have over $1000 after living expenses payed, I bet you people know some of those too. Why shouldn't they buy it if they're anticipating the console then?

They can do whatever they want, it's not my money.  There are people that can afford to have 20+ accounts to SWG, but that doesn't mean I consider it a smart way to spend their money.  I could afford to go out and buy a PS3 and an HDTV if I really wanted to, but it's less about whether or not people can afford it, and more about value.  Games like Heavenly Sword, Lair, and Motorstorm which have been getting positive buzz probably won't be out until March at the earliest.  Games like FFXIII, MGS 4, and Schild's aforementioned Monster Hunter, won't be out until the end of 2007 at the earliest.  Why buy a console at launch if you're just going to end up waiting months anyway for a decent game to come out?

$600 on release, just grabbing a number from my rear, lets say $500 by march. Intresting games by the end of '06 includes Resistance and Untold Legends, if I had $1000 left after living expenses I'd buy a PS3 with those 2 titles and not regret not "saving" ~$110 or the likes for waiting 4 months.

[Strazos]

Seriously, there is no reason to get any console at launch. It's not like you won't be able to buy it later, for less money, and possibly have less problems if there has been a hardware revision.

[schild]

I will readily admit that I am buying this on Day 1 for Resistance, Ridge Racer 7, Genji 2, Gundam (seriously, dead seriously - and I don't even like Gundam... just looks FUN) and Blu-Ray discs. Short of Monster Hunter and FFXIII - I don't care too much about the future of the system at this point. But I will post this:

...I'm not sure you can really call this stuff 'announced', but nm.

The PS3 got a fair few column inches in the FT today. Mostly talking about crazy Japanese dealers buying these things up for resale at inflated prices, and casting general doubt on the wisdom of 'industry experts' writing off the PS3 as too expensive and too late.

EDIT
Also, how the fuck does Lemmings 2 count as PS3 exclusive?

[schild]

Seeing as those Untitled games come from Namco Bandai, you can assume a couple things: Naruto, Tales of..., Generic Shooter, etc. It's fairly reasonable to say that they're completely titled and they're just not showing all their cards. Also, who gives a shit? It's Namco/Bandai.

The anime is probably Naruto btw and the RPG could be the Tales I mentioned or .Hack.

[Strazos]

Erm, the new Armored Core game isn't a PS exclusive? Odd.
