"The big catch now however, is this PS3 model is no longer backwards compatible with PS2 titles, not even at a software level. This means that gamers purchasing a 40GB PS3 will be reduced to a choice of (currently) 65 PS3 games."
"So will it sell? There will be those that wander into an electronics retailer and see the PS3 for what it is and lay down the cash."
"There will also still be a legion of PlayStation fans who have been waiting for this announcement. They have been looking at the Xbox 360 and the now extensive line-up of features, and more importantly the gaming titles, especially those available cross platforms. So far they have resisted, or have gone ahead and bought an Xbox 360, but still plan to purchase a PS3 when the price is right."
Over the last 25 years, there has been a fair few South Park games, and here GameSpew has ranked them all from best to worst.
We are going to see a lot of crap South Park products since they sold out to paramount years ago. It's their IP they can sell out, of course; it just means the quality of their show has tanked and other products as well. Nevertheless, they put on excellent musicals, but those haven't been sold to a mega corporation.
Game Rant chats with the creator of No More Heroes about who he would like to see play the role of Travis Touchdown in a live-action adaptation.
Actually Ryan Gosling makes a ton of sense.
Edit: If this can be done in a Scott Pilgrim movie kind of way that would be dope.
The Opening Levels that hooked gamers from the outset.
at a lower price. But most likely not enough to catch 360 sales or Wii sales. Halo 3 alone has tripled 360 sales. No supposed AAA list game for PS3 has done that this year. As a matter of fact Halo 3 was the number one selling game last week "even in Japan."
This is basicly Sony's desperation move. To lower your hardwares price "twice" in one year is unheard of in video games history. If the PS3 was selling up to par why lower the price at all?
The funny thing is the PS3 will "still" be the most expensive console. And it still won't have any well known IPs to push consoles this year.
Overall both 360 and Wii have a huge advantage in both price and games catalogue...especially with Mario Galaxy and Brawl on the horizon.
I asked some friends what they think about the price drop and for the most of the part they found it pretty amazing. Most of them will buy a PS3 soon this year. However, one of my friend said that the PS3 sucks even at this price point. I don't agree with him. I think the PS3 is a good deal for 399$.
There was only one system to have a new sku more then there old sku and it aint sony or nintendo....they upgraded the model and the price why ps3 upgraded the model and reduced the old model and gave u a new one..
it won't only be first time PS3 purchasers. I know a lot of people who already own a PS3 and are planning on getting the 40GB as a second one. I myself will be getting a second one. I know 2 people that this will be their third.
This will also attract alot of people wanting Blu-ray and it will also drive down standalone blu-ray player prices so that other companies can remain competitive.
Whether the PS3 comes in 3rd for sales or not this holiday season it will still be successful right on into next year when the big guns come out.
It's going to sell, if people are so put-off by the lack of backwards compatibility, install linux, and run emulators, or, play your PS2?..
