PS3 Price Drop & 80gb SKU

Geeze, just how much is Sony willing to pay you to take one off their hands? Or are they going to start shipping the PS2-less version for that price in the US? The reason that the PS3 isn't selling well has nothing to do with the system price, it's the fact that it has no huge games yet that you couldn't have already gotten for another system.

I think the lack of huge games definately helps but everyone knows PS3 will have huge games, or at least they thought so at launch. The consumers decision to buy or not went something like this...oh shit ps3, niiiiice any good games out right now? not really but I can't wait for MSG 4, so how much is it? Excuse me? Fuck that I'll just wait till the price drops...maybe something along those lines, not to mention 360 grabbed all the market share when it was launched and PS3 has been slackin ever since and lets not forget blue ray so far hasn't picked up at all. Its like laser disc's back in the day, just didn't work out, but the year is still young.

Sony seems to be gettin smarter with this price drop. Every system to come out gets the majority of its sales after a couple of price drops, more of them out there to by hence u dont have to wait in front of best buy for a week and they are much cheaper = money in the bank shorty whatcha drank.

I'm still waiting for the next Gran Turismo that you can play multiplayer, I've been fucking waiting for that since GT3 when they promised to put a patch together so we could play online, it never came, waited for GT4 which was supposed to be online, never came, and now the GT "HD" that is coming out next supposively dropped online play, I haven't checked up on it in a while actually but last I heard they weren't doing online til GT5.. which is stupid imo.

GT HD was going to be a full blow game, but was dropped in favour of GT5, which supposedly WILL have online multiplayer. I think GT5 is in production at the moment.

GT HD is now a single track download with 10 unlockable cars, an unlockable drift mode, and an unlockable backwards version of the track. Looks nice, but it ain't my cup of tea.

Oh really? SWEET! Damn man I need to be keeping up with this shyt a little better... Thanks for the heads up

About half an hour after I replied, Sony announced GT5: Prologue at their E3 conference - a PSN downloadable thing (don't know whether it's free, though), with FULL online multiplayer. Being released later this year, and will act as a prologue to the full GT5 game.

EDIT: Here you go, D3V. Some info on it, and a video.

Damn that's such a weird coincidence, lmao. Checking it out right now * Thanks for the info lenny.



EDIT: OMG IT LOOKS SICK!

Egads. That settles it. I'll be buying a PS3.

I don't know what it is about the GT games - I don't really care for other racing games. I've been addicted since GT3, though.

GT HD has online leaderboard, IIRC.
