I really think they might pull themselves out of the mud and show consumers just how cool a piece of hardware the PlayStation 3 is.

@AllanWakker
Ummm... OK.

Not sure if you noticed, but there's been a weeee bit of bad press for the PS3 since its launch. Something about, I don't know, the whole price thing. Oh, and the sales have been a little less than expected, too.

Dude, I like the PS3 a whoole lot. The PS3 is a great product. But I still think that ignoring some of the missteps Sony has made in the past is just being ignorant. Of course, after a quick review of your account (8 ignores, 0 approvals, and "Another tired CoD game???") I can see that you're hardly the kinda guy that would care about what I think.

people question sonys confidence in their own hardware and just how strong is a console when you can play most of the games on the cheaper console. Also much of the mismanagement problems, consumer confidence in sony themselves is also questionable.

"might pull themselves out of the mud"

"Wait an idiot. LOL!"

[AllanWakker]

backward compatibilites? i still don't see that an important feature....i own an 60gb and i know its nice to have it
i can use wireless controllers for games, better graphics, much faster disc loading time...but well i still've got my PS2 in the shelf and if thats needed i can live with it
I have got wii X360 PS3 on my shelves and an extra Ps2 just won't hurt

and btw stop talking about the HDD thingy...the price of HDD drops every single day and it's actually a good thing they keep putting a larger harddrive in the PS3...i don't think they are paying more for these bigger harddrives compared to an year ago when the inital 60 and 20 is launched

60GB owner

Played one PS2 game on my PS3. I have only bought 2 PS2 games in the last year and one of those games i still use my PS2 on. I beat God of War on my PS3 and since then i havent used the BC...

so yea this was a MUTE POINT from the start. If u really cared you would have bought your 60GB in the last couple weeks. If u didnt then ur out of luck. You will be using ur PS2 for all your PS2 games

I love my PS3, I own a 60G PS3 and enjoy playing Warhawk online and watching Blueray movies on my high def tv.
I think the 40G model is a excellent idea and they could move tons of them into peoples living-rooms they just need to have better MARKETTING!! Please Sony, Please have better MARKETTING!!
Please market HAZE,UNCHARTED, TIME CRISIS, RATCHET/CLANK and all the other great games coming out, spend a couple bucks in advertising and it well help you sooo much.
I Sell video-game software/hardware, now that Sony is about to over-come the price issue; the only issue I feel that is holding them back is Marketing.
