Okay jussst one more drop!!

P.S. 360s are the ones that break.

Also, doesn't really matter, it's still a tad on the dirty side to pull this. You get people excited, thinking "Great! The price is dropped!" But then too many are too stupid to keep up with what's going on and don't know that the emotion engine is going to be taken out in place of a cheaper software solution instead of them just fucking fixing what problems may be arising or reported in their machines and then to top it off they plan on discontinuing the 60gig at the discounted price so they can go back to the $599 price with a more inferior version of their product.

It was the plan all along not to include the EE in the PS3. They ended up throwing it in to meet the schedule.

Kinda off topic, but does ANYONE have any information on Chrono Trigger being revived? I had heard somewhere about a year ago they were going to be redesigning the game and working on one for a next-gen console. I didn't want to start another thread, but was wondering.

Man, if I could have something like that on PS3, along with A GT title, AHHH GEEZ! I'd be in my own little heaven.

Sorry D3V. Wouldn't bet on it. Perhaps if SquareEnix gets off their FF kick (but based on all information, that's not bloody likely anytime soon).

Back in '04 there was an independent crew that tried to remake the original, but got shut down by litigation. http://www.opcoder.com/projects/chrono/news/

It's a dream I share, though. That may have been my favorite game of all time (there are a lot of games fighting for that top spot, though).

If I may jump in and say a few words about the 'price drop' amd phasing out of the 60gb:

- It has been confirmed that when supplies of the 60gb console run out (they should last until at least the holiday season), no more will be sold in the US.
- Once 60gb supplies run out, the US shall once again have only one SKU -- the 80gb SKU.

Various analysts agree that Sony will probably announce another price drop come the holiday season, regarding the 80gb PS3 (many of them are saying that a price drop is a very strange thing at this time in the year, and so they expect a true, permanent price drop to come for the 80gb SKU in November).

One more thing - THIS IS A PRICE DROP. Some may say that it's underhand by Sony to announce a price drop and then say they are phasing out the 60gb PS3. And? For the next four or five months, and however many more, the 60gb has been dropped from it's $599 price to a new $499. In my book, that's a price drop.

And you think you folks have it hard? We pay the equivalent of $800, and all we got out of E3 was a new bundle - 60gb PS3 (not an 80gb in sight!), Motorstorm, and two controllers. I'm not complaining, but some people are.

That, and the PS3's aren't having billions of dollars in lawsuits like the XBOX360 is, so Naynaynahh-nahhh.

Haha. How wrong you are, I'm afraid. :p

They may have been dropped, but last I heard there were two, and one relating to the settled Immersion suit:

- An American company is suing Sony for using a silver alloy in their disc products that they patented, and Sony stole. Of course, Sony have been using it for 13 years, and only NOW is the suit brought against them.
- An American company is suing Sony over Blu-ray... but not the other founding members, or bog standard members, of the Blu-ray association.

- As for the Immersion suit, Microsoft are demanding money from Immersion because the two signed a deal stating that if Sony and Immersion settled (key word, that - if it wasn't settled, MS gets no extra money), then Immersion owns MS more money than they have given them.


It's been a month since I read any of the reports, so I may have a few details wrong, but I think most of that is correct.
