I do the same too when transferring avc/mp4 videos from my computers (if too big then external is the way to go), but there's nothing wrong with the card readers, I mean, all Sony is doing is giving people options. Some may not use it, but others will find use for them.

Sucks to even consider the thought that Sony might be able to approach Microsoft even at a price level, doesn't it? I can almost hear you squirm over this.

If all of a sudden, the 360 starts selling like the Xbox, and the PS3 like the PS2, it will still take Sony two to four more years to tie the 360 in North America. That's enough of a shift to guarantee that this generation ends up nothing like the last. Developer support has already guaranteed that this isn't like the last gen. I could give two shits whether Sony outsells Microsoft or vice-versa, I just don't want to see either dominate.
All I ever wanted was a three-way split. 33% each for all three players. Unfortunately, Wii has guaranteed that we can't get that ideal outcome.

Oh this generation for sure won't be a repeat of last generation. That ship sailed a long time ago. But if the rumors of a new, low priced SKU for EU is true, then that territory is a lock for Sony, and a similar pricing model for the US will ensure that the systems remains squarely in the competition. And really, I would hope MS lowers its prices accordingly. On a quality and features level, it has no business being priced on a similar level to the PS3.

At first I didn't think I was going to use it that much.....but man I use it alot........
it also accepts miniSD..... Its convenient for me to transfer files (pics, movies) between my phone and the system........
I'm sure you can get a usb based Card reader ($10)....but it would be hanging around and stuff....if you care about things like that.......

Wii isn't winning anything. Wii is, as predicted, operating its own market. Very successfully, but it will have little long term effect on the other two players, least of all when the pricing schemes for those other two become somewhat more realistic for the budget sensitive gamer. If these rumors are true, big if there, it'd show that Sony has adapted, which is a good thing for everyone. Which as said before is reason enough to assume that it's not true.
I doubt that. Not this year. Where does this "Europe LOVES Sony" stuff come from anyway? I know we English are somewhat more willing to embrace the 360 than other regions, but I've not heard of any love for the PS3 from a few Breton and Catalonian guys I know.spwolf said:
Are there any definitive sales figures which demonstrate otherwise? I know about how the 360 and PS3 are quite close together for the year to date sales in one place - can't remember if it was England, Scotland and Wales or all of Europe - but didn't those show most PS3 sales were confined to the launch period, and were abysmal now?

Where?
Theres a possibility in Europe for the ps3 if sony makes the right moves (droping the price its just part of it). Actually PS3 have chances everywhere, but they need to work on it, remember theres no third place in this generation and second its not always bad. Not even for sony if they could take advantage of it.
360 sales are strong, I don't see a price drop any time soon. Maybe if by some miracle PS3 starts selling 2:1 over 360, then I can see it, but I find it unlikely until there exist real evidence that the PS3 is "pulling away." The library for PS3 won't even be worth having for many people until GTA and MGS4 hit early next year.

Well I doubt it, M$ right now is in the best position they could be with Halo 3 release, in this moment they can sell anything if its related to Halo 3 so if someone doens't buy a xbox 360 now, I believe its because they are not interested more than just feeling restricted about the price. Thats my opinion.
I doubt sony price drop will affect M$ in this moment and I doubt M$ will drop again because im sure that is not going to stop the people who want a ps3 actually buying it for $400 this xmas.
duk said:
Well, it depends on your point of view, many of those customers payed for a ps3 to see movies on it, I don't think they will regret had payed $600 vs $1000+. Also, what is your perception about years? because to me a year can be definitive to the life of a console. I don't think any company will start thinking about the early customers when they do the things they need 2doto survive some more years. I'm not discriminating alright, that early customer politic is in everything and you know it,
ask Apple

Me don't get your complicated jokes
Seriously Its a joke? well if its about my grammar you can feel free to blame on it I know.
Edit: Wait a second! ohh its about the M$ :O what M$ means? I am not familiarized with english forums in spanish forums they use M$ for Microsoft so I though it was the same in english forums.

Still don't get it but ok I will put MS from now on, by the way that guy its not prince is it?
That explain the prince pic huh lol nice but no like me.

:O , I didn't know prince was cool the first time I see him in a video was one week ago lol. Thank you.
Sir Fragula said:
well from sales actually... Sony has always sold a lot better in Europe than MS... For instance PS2 sold same amounts in Europe as in US, while MS sold 50% less.
Or for PS3, in UK market (where 360 is the strongest), Sony currently has same sales as 360 for full 2007, despite 425 GBP pricing.
What will happen when Sony slashes prices by 35% in Europe? :lol
spwolf said:
And if those numbers out of Japan (that summit or something) are right MS is doing the same with the 360 now in Europe (50% of the US), although in total volume I'm sure the 360 will be more succesfull then the old xbox here.
In the end I don't really care, but the speculating is damn fun.

Well, some people will argue they just dropped the price $100.duk said:
And just for the record the $399 price tag is still just a rumour and yeah being an early adopter generally sucks major ass.
spwolf said:and it includes 3 months where PS3 didnt sell at all...
That is really a sorry excuse. Barring supply problems, the launch of a console will be much higher than any normal 3 months of sales. It still doesn't change the fact that it is getting outsold month by month.
mepaco said:
who is making excuses? PS3 is selling same as 360 in biggest market for 360 in the Europe, for complete year, even if it was launched at the end of March and is priced considerably more.
Why exactly do we need excuses?
And you are doubting it will sell more than 360 Europe-wide if it gets 200 drop? :lol

Yeah, you ould probably keep arguing about that, but the price delta between those two consoles is pretty significant at present, the 360 is dirt cheap compared to the PS3, it probably helps a bunch.mepaco said:
The 360 has sold through two holidays here and has a decent user base. It will be interesting to see what price Sony has in mind for Sonys first holiday sales in PAL-land.
duk said:
For anybody who has ever bought anything electronic, they know that shit comes down in price after it is released in about 3/6 months. The TV I bought a year and a half ago is $1000 less now. Did I get screwed? No, because I got to have the TV for that year and a half.
What do I care? I buy things because I thought it was worth the money at the time. I don't continually analyze and agonize over the value of my purchases after I've made them. Doing so would be a waste of time, completely pointless and make a person sound like a whiny child.

Don't misunderstand what I'm saying. The price drop will help a lot and will definitely boost sales. Combined with some better releases it might be enough for them to eventually take the lead again in Europe, but right now the 360 is selling more per month and has a good head start. I also think the 360 has a more potent holiday lineup but I'm not sure who will sell more and I'm not really into making predictions. I just don't think the characterization of Europe as Sonyland and the assumption by many that the PS3 is selling better than the 360 is accurate based on what we know.

360 has a 2 million unit lead on PS3 in Europe and is reportedly outselling the PS3 month to month in Europe right now. The gap between them in Europe is growing, not shrinking.AltogetherAndrews said:
The Pricedrop will help PS3 in Europe, but we know MS will drop their price as well in reaction. To say Sony has Europe locked up is ridiculous, IMO.
