FCC filing reveals new PS3 model, few details

yes at least we knoe it has wireless

oh wait i remember, BLUERAY movies yay! Im happy with my new DS and its large library of games.

I'd rather spend my $35.00 on a video game than a blue ray disc. Why would anyone spend all that money on a blue ray disc when they can get the same movie for $10.00. America loves tantalising people and as alway, people fall for it. That's why everyone's always brok.

I say this as a PS3 owner and fan - the 360 also lacked games for the first year, but that does not matter because there was no competition. Also, multi-platform games won't move a lot of units.

1) Sure the 360 library sucked for the first year or so, but though it may be a defence of the PS3 in the abstract, it doesn't help in the real world. Let's say both systems follow exactly the same curve - well Sony will lose because they will always be 12 months behind.

2) A lot more games are multi-platform in this gen(GTA for instance), so now you have a situtation where somebody owns a 360 because they bought it in the first year when it was the only thing on offer, or in the second year because it had significantly more games - well they're not going to go out now and buy a PS3 to play GTA.

All that said, MSoft paid a big price to get out there first, namely their product has a faulty design. They have taken a chare of $bil in their financials to address the issue - so assuming they've sold about 10mil systems, that's $100 per console (assuming they remedy the problem going forward).

Ladies please don`t fight.
All we love Sony, and all we love PS2.
The faq that they go crazy and make the PS3 so expensive that I and many people decide to buy a X360 (when we never before even consider to buy Xbox and thinking any way the big games are in both consoles and I not a great fan of FF, over all after XIII, good game but it has very little of FF and more of Star Wars) or a Wii is not any one fault. Except sony. Buy a cheaper PS3 I don`t know, it have good exclusives but most of the games I wanna play are on x360 too. So what bother.

Too bad a new sku won't change the fact that PS3 sucks!! SONY you screwed up. Hey, if I ever want a blu-ray player I'll buy one...

That would be never.

How can anyone say there aren't any games to play on it?

the PS3 sports much of the 360's library, has some incredibly decent exclusives (anyone who says Heavenly Sword is bad has obviously never played it)with more coming, as well as AAA franchises on the way.

What, just because MGS isn't out yet, the PS3 has "no games"?

Go to a game store and look on the shelves. Lo and behold, you will see games. PS3 ones.

I really want to ask every one who hates the ps3 one thing......

WHAT GAME DO YOU WANT TO HAVE FOR THE SYSTEM?!
Please answer this question!


Oh by the way all the people who think that FPS and Sports are the only genera's for game systems are morons, they need to get a life and play other types of games, maybe you would enjoy gaming a little more that you do. You might be shocked on how many games that are out there that are really good.

People who buy a console for one game (I'll use Halo 3 for example since it is one of the hottest games now) are going to wish they haven't spent that much money ( System, Accessories, and Web subscription if applicable) in the first place. I really dont care wether you have a PS3, Xbox 360, or Wii.
You all are morons!

Just my 2 cents.


Oh before i get flamed and called really stupid names by people who cant formulate an intelligent response.

I have bought game systems and games since the Genesis days and have over 30+ games for each system I own ( PS2, PS, Genesis, Game Gear) The PS3 I just got and I have 5 games so far, and they are spread out over all genera! I have played every one and enjoyed each of them! And I still have each system and their games!

Actually, buying either a 360 or a PS3 has been a near-nightmare for me. I've been trying to decide, as a "little" (heh) graduation gift, which system to get. I keep holding off whenever the talk of new price cuts, SKUs, and whatnot come up - and lately its been a lot. I remember you could mark the life of a console based on the expected price-cut announcement at E3 and that was more or less it.

Now what we have is something akin to a new pricing scheme every three months. A new SKU every four. Its rather annoying because I want to get SOMETHING, but I'm paranoid that I'll buy something now and then lose my mind when a potentially better deal comes along the next month or two later.

I like both systems - and, depending on the day (and hour, and number of Cokes I've had...), I like one just a little more than the other. I like the look of games like Heavenly Sword and MGS4 as it stands right now. I like hi-def televisions like anyone else, but I don't have one of my own - but a PS3 or 360 game with component video still looks nice on my TV.

Tomorrow, who the hell knows? Suddenly I'm all about Halo 3, The Darkness, and Dead Rising. Or I'll foreswear both and drunkenly reserve every Wii and DS game that even mildly interests me between now and Christmas. (Not letting the fact that I already have get in the way...)

What I think a lot of people want is for this whirlwind of price and model changes to just stop. I can't imagine it helps MS or Sony to put people like me - people who would like some more varied, serious stuff to go with the lighter side that the Wii or a DS offers perhaps - into a position where they become so indecisive they can't possibly choose.


Paralyzing customers with such "deals" nets no real measurable benefits, especially if the deals become just another bunch of noises in a company PR machine. Prove the value of the system up front.

Slow people here.

This whole "not exclusive if PC gets it too" argument that the sony fanboys like to moan about is beyond stupid.

We're talking about GAMING CONSOLES here. PC is a completely seperate division of gaming. I don't know the stats but I'm pretty sure that out of the huge PC Gaming market most PC gamers stick to PC and theres probably a VERY SMALL minority that buys gaming consoles. And vice versa I think that theres a huge is huge Gaming Console market and that only FEW people who get gaming consoles also play on PC.

Bottom line here is that ps3 has very little games (and by few I mean like 2 to 3)...the value is not there.

What a bunch of fucking idiots. Yeah let's change it up one more time and drive consumer confidence down some more! Who in their right mind would buy a console if the the company that makes them can't even decide what to put in the box!?!?! Microsoft that goes for you too!

"the PS3 sports much of the 360's library, has some incredibly decent exclusives (anyone who says Heavenly Sword is bad has obviously never played it)with more coming, as well as AAA franchises on the way."

But you forget one thing...the majority of gamers like madden 07, and they want the version that'll play fast at 60 fps (X360) than play at 30fps (PS3 version). For a system that is suppose to be so damn powerful, that's sad. If I wanna play Heavenly Sword, I'll just play god of war on my PS2 since it's basicly no different. And besides MGS4, what other AA franchises are coming...and do list more than just 2. More like 10.
