Really, because you just told someone else MS making money on the premium model doesn't include the RROD charge. Obviously you have no idea what you're talking about. That charge has NOTHING to do with whether or not MS has room in the production costs to lower the price. Further, there was no personal attack, just an astute observation of your recent swing into ridiculous territory that could use a little adjustment.

I don't see why some of you complain so much over PS3 sku's. There has always been traditionally 1 or 2 sku's available at a time. Consumers aren't going to pay much attention anyways to the specifics of the number of gigs in harddrive space. What they see is a cheaper model and a more expensive model. As long as that stays consistent, I think it's fine to upgrade the hardware.
As for this 120-160gb unit with dualshock 3, excellent news if it maintains the functionalities of the 80gb/60gb. I expect we will see it release in multiple territories. All will be well and the value proposition for buying the high end sku remains. If it doesn't have BC, card readers, etc......it will be a fool's unit like the XB360 elite.

Not to be cruel but I would like you to define EXACTLY how you know this part:
"gpu has so much bandwidth that it would lead to emluation problems".
I have been programming professionally for over 12 years in many firelds from NASA research, finance, to video games.
Tell me sir... If I don't have the requisite facts to DEFINITIVELY say such a bold technical statement... Where do you have your pedigree from?
Quite frankly, I believe that Sony is firmly working on this and I don't particularly think its impossible to be done on the PS3 with high compatibility. Limited more by financial problems of diminishing returns rather than "gpu bandwidth" problems.

Also for you Euros, there's a good chance you guys would get this system too (if it truly exists).
What SCEE's president had to say earlier this year:
Sure leaves the possibility very open....

Who knows truly if this is bullshit or not, time will tell. Sony has not been shy introducing, mixing up their hardware to spike sales, find that groove they're so desperately searching for, so I believe by early summer we will see similar configurations as these.
And when that happens, factoring a better software lineup, (hopefully) factoring in another price cut, BC of some sort, +1 me.
About multiple skews being a mixed bag in general.
Were is Sony's focus at? Confusing, putting off potential ignorant buyers, and giving them thoughts of well, if I wait a bit longer, I'll get another hardware configuration better to my liking, which share similar thoughts about waiting for a price reduction hasn't quite delivered the user-base thus far.

NO MOLE. NO. *kicks over mounds of dirt in field to piss mole off*
true story

To me it seems like that a new bundle will have to be "sold" as something special to really get people hyped. like a PS3 2th generation kind of thing.
Make it white, make a big deal about smaller 65nm processor, and that its better, faster and stronger and more silent and less hot and bla bla.
perhaps bundle it with some good build in PSN games, in contrast to the sayings of Wii which has wii sports bundled...
perhaps bundle it with a headset or something?
if they want to, they can make a big deal about it repackage it as something new and incredible...

Like I said this would be a wise move by Sony to get rid of their old stock since new buyers want BC. Then they'll turn around and bring out a new sku with a bigger hd and bc at the same price. Smart plan to move older bc systems based off of a rumor..................... IF this turns out to be true.

New buyers want BC... interesting. Every 2nd year adopter I talk to reply with "why would I want to play old games" when I let them know the 40gb option doesn't have BC.

Finally bought a new PSP, but then pushed the demon onto someone else. Jesus.
This is a total CE embarrassment.
Naming them after the capacity (that can easily be changed) is retarded.
This is cool. The longer it takes for Sony to get a clue, the longer I have to wait and watch the good games accumulate, white SKU offered, price continue to drop etc.

do they really? seems to me that people got not problem buying the same shit with a bit upped resolution and HD attatched to the tile... if live and wii store is any indication.
its more money for developers and publishers if they can re-sell the games of yesterday today, at todays price. nice.
honestly did people really play psone games when ps2 came out? I dont think so. I think that the hole BC thing is just people freaking out.
its more a psychological reaction to the fact that the thousands of dollars that they used on games for a system that does not matter anymore, wont work on the newer machines...
i really never used my 360 for bc. was to busy with all the new sequels to games i owned on the first xbox. i think its the same thing for ps3.

Anyway, BC was important to me when I bought my PS3. I never owned a PS2 so there were a plethora of games I wanted to play, too. Also, take a look at the used prices for 20/60 GB systems. They're pretty solid which I believe means there's a market out there.

Bahahah, great choice of posts to link to. I feel sorry for anyone who actually clicks that if they were expecting some of my inflammatory work, cause that was some pretty level headed shit if I do say so myself.
Oh and by the way, it probably would have helped you a bit if you were smart enough to connect snakeswithlasers tag with my post.
As to the issue of BC. The only people who care about that stuff are the same people that posts on boards, read gaming news all the time, and consider themselves "gamers".. and there isn't 50 million+ of those worldwide. However, there are a lot of people who want to buy affordable "next-gen" consoles so they can play "next-gen" games.

That said, if one does come out like this rumored 160GB with 6 USB ports and what have you...I may consider upgrading...

You're right. Increased 80gb sales were due to Super Audio Compact Disc (SACD) capabilities.

Yes, after all, the fact that is has double the storage capacity and has a game bundled along with is not a great reason for the 80 gig to sell well during the holiday season.

I'm sure there will be a new one to add the DS3 but I really hope they add a cup holder because the PS3 is not flat and I'm always having a hard time placing my drinks.
