A price drop in DVD's and BRDVD's is on its way. With these things in mind, There might be a possibility that the PlayStation 3 might get a price drop as well. With the PS3 and Blu-Ray discs getting the cut where it counts just pushes it more into the lead for consumers to grab tight and never let go(well...until the next console comes out)
Tripwire Interactive's Killing Floor debuted 15 years ago, birthing a critically acclaimed series and a new publishing arm.
GB: "With this feature, we will be taking a look at 15 of the most interesting facts about the PS3."
I knew all of those things. I'll add one that many dont know (if you are a hardware person you do). you CAN actually swap bluray drives between systems. The drives themselves are interchangeable but the board that interfaces is not. So anyone who has a dead optical drive can just get a replacement and swap the interface board and be back to reading discs in no time. I've had to do this myself on both a 20gb B01 as well as a 40gb L01 unit.
you can also replace the spinning hdd with an SSD for improved (not life changing) performance as well as quieter and cooler system reliability. The physical spinning drives draw more current and generate heat as a result. Using an SSD means no moving parts and thus will have less current draw and reduced fan noise from not having to spin as much as usual to offset any heat generated by the spinning hdd.
I never even thought of that. If I can ever track down a reasonable true backward compatibility one the first thing I'll do is ssd it up.
Still one of my favorite Playstations next to the Playstations that came before it and after it.
You missed some great games then. Especially the variety. Ps3 lacked compared to before and after.
It had great games but it lacked compared to every other ps system. The variety went out the window. Game budgets got higher that's when developers stopped taking chances. Indies weren't quite going full speed like the ps4 generation. It's my least favorite of all the Playstation. Also jrpgs disappeared like a mf, there were some but sht compared to previous gens.
Xbox and EA have recently made baffling moves that define how bleak the future of the gaming industry is with major companies at the helm. Ryan Bates from "Last Word on Gaming" posits in this op-ed that maybe it's not ineptitude, but intention.
Name someone that isn't trying to look us these days maybe cdpr.
Take two, ubi and yes even PlayStation are pushing us to own nothing and be happy with our live service ad injected games on a sub so they can raise prices at will and take access away when they see fit.
If it keeps up I'll be a full time retro gamer and this industry will be crashing hard
As rediculas as it sounds we need government reforms to defend consumer rights
I really doubt the PS3 will get a price drop while it still selling better than the 360.
Expect a price drop only after the 360 gets one, which will likely be relatively soon. Right before GTA4 comes out would be most logical.
are always welcome.
Sony presents: THE CHOICE
Who cares bout the PS3 cut I'm liking the Blu-ray movie price cut! Finally semi-affordable blu-ray movies! Would be great!
I've been thinking about dropping the PS3's price next month.......what do you think, Sony Soldiers? Just in time for GTA 4!
If those ARROGANT NAZISOFT SLUGS think they can "own" GTA 4's launch, they are sadly mistaken!
MWAH-HA-HA-HA!!!
