Honestly, I expected tons of bitching about Micro Transactions as it seems Sony is going to push that wholeheartedly to make up for online costs. They already mentioned extra levels for warhawk and the game isn't out. The Singsong online Itunes shop was neat, but GAF generally hates that stuff.. or at least they hated it when MS launched it.
I guess the system price took first precedent.

I just dropped 6 grand just to watch normal DVDs on a 92" screen (I tend to buy a new HDTV every 2 1/2 years), it's guys like me that will help bring down the price on the PS3 for the rest of you.
It will be ok.

Oh fuck no.
No HDMI support in the $500 version :lol :lol
No rumble in the controller? :lol :lol :lol
Oooooooooh shit Sony. What the fuck are you doing?
MGS4/FF13 are cool ... but guess what? Those aren't the big gun franchises in North America anymore (FF is even losing steam in Japan) ... I think they're in for some trouble this generation.

$600 for the premium
That's twice the price of an Xbox Core, and 200 more than the premium.
Bad decision? Good decision? Who knows? I'm not one to predict the future.
All I'm going to say is I'm not getting one until the price drops.
Also, the blatant rip-off of the Wii controller is a little eyeroll inducing.

Just a thought, to all of you who defend the high price tag because you get a blu ray player, Ask yourself: "why the FUCK do you want one?" are dvd's not good enough to watch now? does the extra storage space actually benefit YOU? are you happy to buy yet another version of the same movie?
Sony is just ramming this blu-ray crap down your throat because it will be good for their bottom line having a monopoly on the medium; few of us are actually gonna benefit because of this format change....

Sony packed the PSP with features. $250 for a movie player, mp3 player, and now GPS and whatever else they announced for it, it's probably the best deal on the market.
However, it's currently in a console war against an opponent who does games just as good (and that;s being modest for the DS,) which does none of that and sells for $129.
Most big developers are going with DS, except for a few (Kojima, for one, is fiercely loyal to anything and everything Sony puts out.)
Just look at Japan's sales if you want to see how much people care about a "good deal" when the competition is half the price. American sales, too, to a lesser extent. PSP is loaded with western oriented games that should make it sell at least twice DS every month, but in reality it's just about even.

Yep. That's exactly the problem. A person could rationalize and finally convince themself that they can swing $500 or $600 for a console, but add on 2 games and sales tax and you're talking between $700 and $800. $700 or $800 for a console with two games. Yow. Well, here's hoping it sees a $100 reduction in both skus by autumn 2007.

Thanks for the Heavenly Sword vid, blim. Downloading now.
I hope it looks as good as it did during the stream, this might be higher quality, perhaps I'll notice some problems.
And who said the game looked repetitive? The character did all sorts of shit in the few minutes we saw it, I thought it was fantastic! Now Genji 2, there's a game that was repetitive...what a piece of shit that was...

well that was interesting.
Some of the games blew me away but a lot of the most impressive stuff was probably not real time. They have a crap version of the revmote function that's obviously just been added since only one game supports it... I personaly find that hilarious... then BOOM they wen't and made the system unafordable and rendered all their advantages moot. I don't care if it's a good deal for what your getting... Most people want a ps3 to play games, not hd movies.
Even though sony showed many great looking games, they actually managed to make me MORE interested in a 360. I'm gonna want one system with fancy graphics next gen, and now i know i can't afford a ps3 for a few years, so i hope microsoft has some really cool games to show tommorow.

You forgot the completely creepy "Tiger Woods gets emotional" session.
Makes me appreiciate my 360 purchase so much more.
I wonder how much disdain the Japanese have for the 360 after Sony announced the price.
The PS3 is still more attractive to me than the Wii.
Somebody needs to bump the next gen prediction thread now that Sony showed thier cards.
(I have a strong feeling the PS3 wont win NA this round)
At least we have a better chance of not having a shortage at launch, I'm planning on getting the tard pack with HDMI out.
This thing is going to knickle and dime you to death online for shit. I think more so than we ever dreamed.

LOL @ Nbots trying to make the PS3 controller out to be a disaster. The tilt functionality is NOT a primary feature, its an add on, that could have some fun uses in certain games. The rest of the controller is solid. Triggered shoulder buttons, guide button (also a rip off). They got rid of the boomerang. What more do you want? The DS design pretty much destroys every controller out there not including the 360, or S controllers. As someone else mentioned, Sony is aimed at making the wiimote functionality seem not so unique in the mind of casual gamers.
The pricing is pretty terrible. You're basically paying $500 for the ability to play MGS4 and FFXIII at this point. There were some neat looking titles but nothing besides FF/MGS is really worth buying a system for. Normally I'm willing to plunk down cash on a new system to play the best looking sports titles. So far I see no reason to believe multiplatform titles (like EA games) won't look any better on PS3 than on 360. If that turns out to be true, then I'll likely go with a 360 first. It really sucks because I was getting really psyched about PS3 up until they revealed the pricing options.
No Killzone and Motorstorm upset me far more than the rip off tilt sensor (which is really cool, despite what desperate ntards would have you think)

now call me a nintendo fanboy if you will, but i thought sony had enough on their own merits to sucessfully introduce ps3 witout having to resort to so blatently stealing nintendos ideas. They look fuckin pathetic and it quite frankly disgusts me.
They are arrogant too, thinking that having some tilt sensor is enough (a la warioware twisted) and that just because of the playstation brand we are gonna spend that sort of money on a games console like fuckin tools.
They make me sick, im so digusted with teh fact they jacked nintendo that im selling my psp and getting a ds lite.
I hope this stunt backfires on them.

I think that, if anything, if Sony loses out to MS or Ninty in marketshare this gen, it will be linked, in large part, to the base system being too much of an all-in-one package. The vast majority of people out there don't care about high-definition DVD formats, so the functionality is nice but could be something that will work against Sony for the rest of the generation. I see Sony losing MAJOR marketshare to both MS ans Ninty because they simply aren't focused enough on the core use of the console and want too much to be paid for it.
That pricing, however realistic and logical it may be, is leadership suicide.

The hits keep coming.
We HAVE to buy the $600 for HDMI, CF/SD slots, & Wi-Fi.
$600. My wife is going to kill me.

Good LORD this is hilarious!!!
How are you guys gonna justify the "$500/Euro Tard Pack" now that it's missing all of that? Hahaha!!!
And I love this quote in the press release:
Uh... nice lie Sony, how about, "we lost the patent case, tried again, and lost the case, now we can't include rumble in our controllers"... talk about a bold-face lie - on top of stealing Nintendo's idea for a new console...
Value my ass!!! Damn I can't WAIT for the conferences tomorrow!!! So that the competition can just turn the knife in Sony's back...

Insanity. A $200 difference between the premium 360 and the premium PS3. Wow. And if the 360 price goes down any by the end of the year the gap will be even larger. I really don't care about its Blu-Rayness. HDMI cables aren't cheap. The peripherals for this system aren't going to be cheap. The GAMES aren't going to be cheap. I'm fine with having a 360 and a Wii this holiday.

Hey, at least with the 360 tard pack you can always add on the hard drive.
Once you get the PS3 w/o HDMI there is no upgrade path.
...noticed the DVD drive is 8x and 360 is 12x

Win E3 is not important. participating is!
HS MGS4 are the good eggs.
rest are underwehlming. failed render targets + more render targets.
8 days is clear render target guys! stop getting fooled! i suspect FF13 render target too!
btw Tekkan6 is a joke. where is SSX? DOA4 seems better. where gone DOA trolls?
cheap last minute Wii copycat. Reggie will lol!
step on stage: $500-600.
step off stage. 80m causals: OH NO!
no GTA4 exclusive spoken...
no Sony Online demostration too.
350 days later = meh.

I find it funny now that clearly the 360 controller will likely own on most games over rehashed DS2, hard to imagine how it won't. I wish they would fix the analog sticks on the DS2, unlikely. I'll likely still be getting a *gulp* $599 PS3 at launch, but Sony is making it real hard to do that.
The price is quite alot, but Sony know they are going to sell it, plus they have to maintain the PS2 brand for at least another year. They can't do a MS and drop the last gen completly.
So people who want next gen, will buy the PS3 at that price, any one who is looking for a cheap console will buy PS2.
With HDD and Blu Ray out of the box, the console is future proofed as cache and disc access techniques take full advantage of the tech, so PS3 is future proofed for a lot longer than the 360 will ever be.
Sony didn't cut corners, MS did. Sony charge premium for a premium product.

Oh Snap was my reaction to the price, I think sony could get away with it lunching first but not with a affordable Wii and potential 360 price cut.
