Um. . . "poorly written television"? Mr. Weeks, have you actually seen this show? It's actually one of the better ones, guy.

THIS JUST IN- BREAKING NEWS!!!

Infinium Labs' Phantom Console no longer vaporware and is leading Sony's BS3. Infinium announces that it will begin work on it's rumored handheld device right away. It's codename is. . .

I've got big expectations for the Xbox 720 already. . .lol. . . and what's with the Revolution still being around? I thought the PS3 was the only system that was supposed to have a ten year 'life span'? LMAO. I needed this. GREAT LAUGH!

It's interesting that multiple iterations of the Game Boy system are still managing 'decent' sales, atleast in relation to 'other' systems. Does anyone know if the sales for the original Xbox have been going down or staying about the same?

I wish people would cut this crap about an "early 2007" launch. Launching a 'major' product right after X-mas in the U.S. is a 'no-no'. Christmas 2006 will make or break PS3. As much of a Xbox fanboy as I am, I will admit that the 360 hasn't won anything yet...

The question is, my friends, are those people who play games more now than they did two years ago, people who started playing video games two years ago?

Jago, even if it is $1000 for the cheapest blu ray, that's still well above the ps3 bs pricetag of $500. If you are a huge hardware manufacturer on the Blu-Ray consortium/group, and everyone but one company is selling the players for $1000+, you will not even be considered by customers. Consumers would see a $500 blu ray player(PS3) and not even consider the high priced ones. Do you actually think all those big hardware companies are going to let Sony break thier back with a cheaper player. Think again. And sorry, Jago, but Nintendo profits off their consoles much sooner than Sony and MS.

Now, for the Sony Fanboy who was blasting 360 fanboys. The first and second time, when the Playstation was hitting 100 mil, it was $500!?! The only company worthy of fanboys is Nintendo(and I say that as a fan of MS).

CaPtiN_InsAnO(post #15), is right on the ball. Sony cannot afford to launch the PS3 for 400, 500, or even 700 as one EBgames employee told me. If we examine the situation logically, we will find that a blu-ray drive costs $1000 at the minimum as the consumer pays $1800+. In other words, add an expensive gaming machine to that and it's another $500 at the least. The PS3 launching in 2006 will play to MS's advantage as a good number of folks will begin to think the 360 isn't as expensive when the competition is in excess of $800.
