As far as I'm concerned, I don't have a 'viable alternative' in the West, and that's a problem from where I'm sitting. I don't consider the X360 an alternative, because I'm partial to Japanese-developed games, and I doubt any American-built console will ever become the lead development platform for most Japanese developers regardless of how well they sell here. Likewise, while I'm going to pick up a Wii for the virtual console and a couple of the big Nintendo franchises (Metroid, Zelda), they seem heavily focused on 'revolutionary gameplay' built around the Wii-wand, and that's not what I'm looking for as my core gaming experience. So if I want to play games with the kind of gameplay and art styles I like best, I have no choice but to buy a PS3. And if I don't want a feature-stripped one (selling the same unit with a 20- or 60-gig HD would have been fine, but then they cut even more out of the entry-level machine and leave users with no way to upgrade? WTF?), I have to be ready to shell out $600. Meh.
What I'd really like to see is for another Japanese company to throw their hat in the ring and launch a less-expensive, more traditional console with strong Japanese developer support. (Oh Sega, how I miss thee right now...)

All kidding aside, what's the comprehensive breakdown of what is and what isn't in what located at? The earlier image of the PS3 specs was everything?

Who the fuck made these decisions at Sony? Is this Kuturagi alone? I mean, the whole Sony corp. will go down if this fails.
I mean someone at Sony must have said: "No, Ken, we don't rape our fans like this!"

So when gamers here said things like, 'Online's the future of gaming, and Sony really needs a service like XBL in order to succeed in the long run,' Sony should have just ignored them and quietly wandered off to die in order to satisfy some Xbots' sense of 'fair play'? Likewise, I guess everyone else should have stuck with Genesis-era gamepads forever, right? I mean, deliberately limiting what games could be developed for their own consoles by refusing to integrate anything new in their controllers would really benefit consumers, wouldn't it? Seriously, give it a fucking rest. We're not five-year-olds, and the 'Mommy, he's copying me!' bullshit just needs to stop.
HDMI = overrrated
SD = who cares
20 vs. 60gb = at least every PS3 has a HD, 20GB will probably sufficient for gaming
no WLAN = come on, where your TV/stereo equipment is you have tons of cables anyway, probably a cheap router will do if you want it later.
Wireless controller for all and compared to x360 tard pack no extra costs for memory card
btw. too bad multi monitor is gone but I nevre believed they have enough fillrate for 2x720p and sure not for 2x1080p

I remember I was playing Resident Evil, Silent Hill, or Parasite Eve. And then going on boards and laughing at people who called me an idiot for waiting for the PS2 while the DreamCast was out there.

the only people that buy any system at launch are hardcore gamers, fanboys or rich bastards. The "cheap college student and teens" demographic doesn't really come into play until the systems get **gasp** cheap. And contrary to popular belief, just because the PS3 is going to be $600 doesn't mean that the $400 Xbox360 is seen as "cheap". Most of those consumers will probably just stick with their PS2s and Xboxes for another year.

..........I didn't say "wow"
Exactly. At $600, it will take a loooong time (years) for it to come down in price causing slow sales which is not good for market penetration/share and publishers looking to sell their games to as many people as possible.Ninja Scooter said:
To be fair, I do realize why Sony priced it this way...
No HDMI definitely makes the $499 console a tard pack, unless you planed on buying a seperate $1000 Blu Ray player.
It's a shame because this seems like it may make it or brake it for me. I was planning on getting a PS3 as a cheap blu-ray player at $499, but that may be my breaking point. $600 sounds allot more steep and I don't know if I want to make that investment right now.

Exactly. Sony once again miss the whole complete point.
It is not like Nintendo invented motion sensors. And it is not like Sony wants to copy what Nintendo does, it is just a nice addon.fly high ~ayunite~ said:
But if I read about no Revmote sword swinging in TP because it is too strenous then I begin to have my doubts.
But nice the PS3 controller has the feature, some games might make use of it, if it makes sense and some Wii 3rd party stuff might work on PS3 too.

True, in the end their responsibility is to their shareholders, but seeing as how I'm not one, I can't help but feel a little betrayed. The 360 has titles that are easily better looking than some of the garbage shown today (Tekken 6) and it's way less pricy. I suppose I had expected Sony to pull an MS and eat the cost of the console for the first year or so in order to get Blue Ray out there, but I suppose that's out the window.

The one hand design isn't just for the sake of non-gamers.
It's a functionality issue too.
A freehand design like the one Wii has can mimic objects like a gun, sword, bat, etc. or operate as a pointer.
Look at virtual reality simulators, they pretty much all use a freehand controller for the input from the hands.
There's a functional reason for that, a traditional game console type controller would not work.

Unlike Nintendo, Sony's clearly not trying to 'change the way people play videogames' with their controller. They're just adding something that will complement existing methods of control, rather than trying to replace them. As far as I'm concerned, that means they do get it - they're certainly more closely in tune with my desires than Nintendo is.

exactly. Its just another feature of the controller, not THE feature. Its not meant to mimic a gun, or a fishing pole or a baseball bat.
Ninja Scooter said:
That's the thing though. Nintendo realized this already, and if you all read the Zelda post Koam did, he even told us that Nintendo has said that most of the time you won't be swinging your arms around wildly - just point at an enemy and hit the attack button (a or the trigger, whatever it is). But shooting arrows actually looks pretty sweet, you pull back on the nunchuck while keeping the wiimote in front of you, and press a once you get the right distance. That's pretty damn awesome. I bet even my mom would want to try that out if Zelda has a shooting Range (which OOT did).
edit: also the coolest thing In TP, with the Wii added features is that The speaker in the controller makes a sound when you pull it back (probably a bow string tightening sound) and when you 'release' the arrow, the sound will 'travel' to the TV speakers.

Believe me I wouldn't care less what they copied if they offered their own bit of innovation or improved implementation of established concepts once in a while, but they don't and they never have. When the Dual Shock and Eyetoy are as innovative as it gets you know they're a company devoid of any sense of imagination and inventiveness. At least Nintendo is out there trying to shake up shit with their new controller, and Microsoft is trying to push new boundaries with its XBLA service. What's Sony doing? Obscene price points, tard packs and copying the defining features of their competitors machines aside what exactly are they offering the market that defines their product as unique? Not much.
Another thing, no HDMI output on the $500 version is just plain fucking stupid. What is the point of having a Blu-ray drive in the unit if it can't output movies any higher than 480p over component? Put a regular 16x DVD drive in there, knock $200 bucks of the price and tell developers to spec their games for that in mind. 9GB of space for games is plenty for the time being.
