PSA: PS3 Firmware 3.00 is alive and kicking

Sep 1st 2009 10:48AM (Joystiq)
How do yo turn off all the extra BS around the clock? I was perfectly fine with just the time and date.

So close, but Sony press conference Bingo was still fail

Yakuza 3? Yakuza prequel?

I'm not asking for much, hell the games are already finished just need localization. This actually is epic fail.

One hand-on with PSP Go

I know they sell a few older ones now and i know they'll do both in the future but you never know with Sony. I could easily see them doing digital distribution for new games for the PSP Go only to try to get you upgrade to one if you want to be able to play your games off of a mem stick.

Not interested in the PSP Go but i am interested in the new downloadable game services. Hopefully they'll let you download games from the store to a memory stick to play in PSP 1000-3000s

Joystiq live from Sony's E3 2009 keynote

No mention of MGS:Rising, looks like there's a legit chance that it's a 360 exclusive.

Best Buy to receive new 80GB PS3 SKU after E3, will cost $399

$299, wouldn't even be close.

You know for these bundles, if they really wanted them to sell well they'd give vouchers for ANY two games of your choice to be redeemed at any major retailer for say a year after purchase. I love the bullshit lines they give about giving value, what they're trying to do is milk sales for older games (yes they include packed in games in total sales) while at the same time try to hook you on their first party franchises (MGS being a very special case), much like a drug dealer will give you the first hit for free or cheap lol.

If they don't do a $50 price cut at E3 (which it looks likely) they have to cut $100 when it does eventually drop. If they don't land in the 360's general price point, once the 360 does drop in price again they'll once again have the perception of being substantially more expensive for basically the same thing. Very important when it comes to consoles being given as gifts.

It's all about perception at this point. Unless you're one of those people who only buys items online, when most people see $399, the round number 400 comes up cause even with tax the closest big round number is 400. If they see $349, most people will still round up to 400 because when they figure in the tax 400 is the closest large round number. $300 is around the range where people start convincing themselves an item isn't too expensive and that they can afford it.

FFS if there's no price drop at least start releasing the damn 45nm PS3's. If i can't buy one cheaper at least let me buy one that runs cooler and quieter. Refuse to buy a replacement for my dead launch 60GB till they start selling them. That 60 put out so much heat (sitting out in the open) it was insane.

Report: Sony losing about $40 on each PS3

May 15th 2009 2:07PM (Joystiq)
I can't remember Sony or their execs ever going on record as to how much of a profit or loss they were taking on a system. Sounds fishy to me, almost like pre-damage control to there not being an announcement of a price drop at E3. With this Sony can still take the stance of "We're still losing money on every PS3, how are we supposed to drop the price?". Guess i'll be waiting even longer to replace my dead launch 60.

Tales trailers: Vesperia on PS3, VS on PSP

Sony needs to step in and nudge N-B to help show the "advantages" of blu-ray and include the JP vocal track as well. Size shouldn't be an issue if it shipped on one disc for 360 right?

Wouldn't be much added work since the subtitles will likely already be there as well as the JP track. I read the US PS3 version of Eternal Sonata had a JP track, did the 360 version?
