40GB PS3 On Sale. People Buy It.

What a difference a year makes. When the PS3 launched on November 11, 2006, a frenzy ensued. The console was met with long lines fueled by a strong demand. To mark the one year anniversary of the PLAYSTATION 3, Sony launched a cheaper 40GB model that does not support backwards compatibility. The DUALSHOCK 3, Ratchet and Clank Future and Dynasty Warriors 6 put on sale as well. Less frenzy and crap weather, the new console did get a fair enough turnout - though, nothing like the craziness of last year. (That's to be expected!) At the Akihabara Yodobashi Camera Customers picked up the DS3 as well. We haven't heard of any sellouts here, so it'll be interesting to see what kind of boost the 40GB model gave the PS3 in Japan. It could beat the Xbox 360 this week!

Gotta love that biased overtone there... Xbox beats Ps3 by 200 units and these SORRY SACKS OF BIRD ****, that are Kotaku, call it a day. I loath that Banashcroft SMACK anyways. He's always posting lies about his kid, it makes me sick. Ever notice his kid is the equivalent to Doogie F'n Howser? He makes me sick!

Next time you're on Kotaku do some back logging and read all these idiotic "e-mails" he sends, but post on the site for us all to read. They're absurd. He actually believes we believe this junk. Like when his kid asked his mom why she didn't have a penis. Whatever... just shut up and be biased ya damn dork. I hate that whole site.

You take their articles way too seriously, if you want some serious stuff, kotaku isn't for you.

For me, I like the little humor, silliness. I mean, why not, gaming is about having fun, if you can't even let go a little humor in "news", you might as well make it your job as a fanboy and go find every little thing that you disagree on and make a big deal out of it.(such as making multiple posts of the same issue on N4G for example)

so just calm down and relax with the old & tired "biased" bs=

JOY

Sony is treating this as a re-launch. Though they had to scrape it down a bit, the 40 gig's $399 price is much more appealing than what they had going a year ago. Hopefully this will be the beginning of better days for the system. I know there's alot of hating going on, but personally I hope that all three systems do very well over the next few years. Any time all three of these companies are doing well, there will be less worries about money, more chances will be taken, and better games and peripherals will continue to pop up.

"it could beat the xbox 360 this week"
More like it could beat the wii.

TheMART6028d ago

Just because of a color change? Don't think so. It'll start to sell with MGS4 and FFXIII. Which is a long, long time from now

resistance1006027d ago

Different colour change? Mart shows how much you know.

The new lower price point SKU is only one reason, DW6 + R&C will shift the units aswell.

Judging on the wii's current lower sales (compared to earlier in the year). PS3 outselling Wii is possible this week.

jackfatal6027d ago

i say it couldn't sell less then 360 and probably sell better than we wii!

Dynasty Warriors 6, A look back on a controversial period of the Musou games

Dynasty Warriors 6 was a controversial game that took the Warriors series in a much needed new direction. Can Dynasty Warriors 9 do the same?

DW9 came out a few years ago and was not met with kindness. You mean 10. DW6 was not a good direction at all but DW6Empires was alright by me.

LordStig836d ago

What i remember from DW6 was alot of characters who had unique weapons in the previous games ended up with either a spear, sword or bow. Some that come to mind was the guy with the claw like Vega from street fighter, the guy with tonfas, the guy with the samurai sword and the chick with the bladed rings, all cool weapons changed to generic sword, bow or spear.

The spinoff strikeforce was pretty cool.

Looking back at 10 years of... Dynasty Warriors 6

Carlos writes "So, we’re back once more with the next entry in TheXboxHub’s ‘Looking back at’ series as we take a gander at another title celebrating an anniversary - Dynasty Warriors 6, which celebrates it’s 10-year birthday this week. It may not be the first entry in the series, but as a long-standing series that has had a longer lifespan than even Xbox itself, Dynasty Warriors 6 is certainly no bad place to start."
