You can't compare current day sales to those of 10 years ago, not only are there now 1 billion people more in the world, economics and purchase behaviour have also changed. And apart from that all, it might be selling more than the PS1, but way less than the PS2, and products like these are ought to have a continious rising line, not a big fall.

You can present statistics any way you like but you're being a bit too enthusiastic about a year thats surely below the expectations of Sony themself.

It's funny, add 2 games and a controller to the 40gb version and you end up paying more than the 60gb starter pack of 499 which has all that plus 20gb, BC and 2 usb slots.

People are stupid.

It's funny really, as the 40gb version isnt even cheaper. Add 2 games and an extra controller and you go pass the 499 price for the ps3 60gb starterpack that has all that. Plus you still have 20gb, 2 usb slots and BC less too.

People are stupid

Ehm, atleast in Europe the PS3 60gb comes with motorstorm and resistance fall of men for 499... Are you sure there're no games bundled in the US?

So US gets the 80gb for 500 dollar while we have the 60gb version for 500 euro. Which is being phased out too. So either they're using us to pay for your 80gb version and leave us with 40gb only in the end or they'll introduce the 80gb version here as well when 60gb stock has run out.

Wait what? I thought surge protectors PROTECT your electronics from getting broken by power instabilities. And almost everyone has surge protectors, cause you cant plug 20 friggin plugs in 8 sockets, so you buy an extender, which usually have surge protection...

color me confused

This is redicilous, since when are consoles affected in framerate by background applications? Thing that annoys me about a PC is that background apps, fragmented hard disc and screw windows install delivers poor performance on games. A console shouldn't have this kind of stuff... color me dissapointed.
