PS3 Blu-ray diode only 8$ to produce by June

As this little blu-ray diode was the cause of PS3's delay, Sony should be proud of their accomplishment since this month it can now be massively produced and by June the cost will drop to 900 Yen or less than 8$US. Cost cutting is the key to make money fast out the PLAYSTATION3.

$600 and now $592...still to d^mn high with nothing to show for it.

nix6214d ago (Edited 6214d ago )

you don't own a PS3 because it just hit me that you're not intellectual enough to use it. i'm guessing you'll not even be able to switch it on. i think 360 is the right machine for you. it lights up those 3 red lights as a hint so that baboons like you can understand that the console cannot be used.

go back into the womb!

anh_duong6214d ago

read the post properly. the 8 usd refers to the new price not to the drop in price.

Give him a break. There were a whole 4 lines to read. You cant expect a troll to read that much before making his comment.

techie6214d ago

ah yes.. the public school system rears its ugly head.. its ok assass.. not everyone can do 5th grade math. They have dropped to 1/5 of their normal price, from 5000 yen to 1000 yen.. so originally they were 40 dollars each to produce. So that would be 600 to 568 dollars.. cmon now everyone.. say it with me.. Math is your friend. An education is a good thing.

PS3 production costs just keep falling.

Saint Sony6214d ago

Hmm.. but can we assume ps3 price will drop? Wouldn't that eat some of the profit that cheaper diode gives?

masterg6214d ago (Edited 6214d ago )

Yeah it would. But Im sure they will drop around October anyway.
In the PS2 days they didnt drop price the first 1½ or so, but at that time they were the leaders on the marked.
$100 by Oct-Nov is my guess.

Better to eat the loss on the console and reap the benefits of more games sold.

WilliamRLBaker6214d ago

They had so many problems producing them damn things now they drop in price by all most 90%....weird

Ar Tonelico Qoga: Knell Of Ar Ciel Retro Review – Love Conquers All

Gary Green said: You’ll be forgiven if you haven’t heard of the Ar Tonelico trilogy. The previous two games arrived so late in the PS2’s life-cycle that they simply went unnoticed. While most were tinkering with their shiny new PS3s, Ar Tonelico: Melody of Elemia and Ar Tonelico II: Melody of Metafalica were being ‘returned to sender’ by your local Game stores. Luckily, you won’t need to have played them to understand and appreciate this third and final chapter, Qoga (pronounced k-yoga) tells the story of a racial war between humans and Reyvateils, a breed of biologically produced female cyborgs capable of reproduction, while still having a digital mind.

Oh my god. I kinda wish this would get a remaster on PS5, it would be awesome. One of my favorite games on PS3.

That and 3D Dot Game Heroes. It's a shame that some stuff is stuck on PS3.

Knightofelemia2d ago

Ar Tonelico 3 is good I still prefer the first AT game. The music is solid in all the games and Akiko Shikata is a very talented singer bringing life to the game. Only annoying part is well I find is Saki I always choose Finnel or Tyria. KOEI so needs to HD remaster the franchise along with Ar Nosurge and Ciel Nosurge since it never came to North America. I would day one the Ar Toneliceo games and Ar Nosurge if they were remastered.

TheColbertinator2d ago

I still have the limited edition of Qoga unopened. Unfortunately it never went up in value like I had hoped all these years.

Used to own all these quirky JRPG on ps3 good times. Wish I would have kept them all

Mugen Souls Retro Review – Sexy Demon Space Adventure

Gary Green said: We have a juxtaposition of 2D and 3D visuals, flashy turn-based combat, quirky anime characters with cheeky dialogue with plenty of partial nudity; Yes, this is a Compile Heart JRPG. Whilst the engine is borrowed from Hyperdimension Neptunia mk2, Mugen Souls is more of a Disgaea spin-off. It’s not a strategy RPG as such, it merely sits within Disgaea’s ever-expanding universe (Multiverse? Netherverse? Your guess is as good as mine). You won’t find cameos though, since Mugen Souls is a franchise which aims to stand on its own two feet.
