I tend to think of y'all as SEGA fans during the Saturn era. Cuz, you know, the PS3 actually has some genuine good games.

now you're going to far. the PS3 has no Daytona or Panzer Dragoon.

I'm assuming somebody at the meeting told somebody in the press (The source was "tipped" off.). No low-level employee would attend such briefing.

If that this was of course real, we have no way of verifying anything at all until Sony speaks.

Why don't you come to my Lair and play some Wipeout HD with me? Perhaps we could venture into some Uncharted territory.

The Saturn didn't have Phantasy Star either, "remakes" aside.

CAUGHT YOU, YOU CHEEKY STEALTH EDITING MONKEY!

Worth mentioning that this isn't a press thing... it's an internal company thing. What we're seeing here (if it's reliable) is a leak.

So how low of people were invited to this meeting? I mean I somehow doubt that "Legends" is a VP or higher ranking person in Sony who just suddenly decided to start leaking data to a second rate gaming blog/site. And if you start bringing in all the 'riff-raff', it kind of begs the question of why they're discussing matters that would have little relevance to them and could have potentially negative consequences if leaked.

I find it annoying when people don't look back on the thread for answers.

I do it sometimes. But seriously, I've/It's gotta stop.

Most of it seems common sense... except for the price cut news. No sane company is going to reveal a price cut 4 months in advance. Especially in the context of how the information in the article was obtained.

I don't doubt a cut is coming, it's that I don't believe Sony would tell the press this early.

They never told the press anything. :/

I just don't see how a lot of the "blowout" can be true, the games announcements are believable enough but the price cuts things make NO sense before the start of the shopping season. Even remotely hinting at a price cut in March 2009 would be like chopping your feet off before the start of the holiday race. If he did in fact mention it then his handlers should be slapping him around because it will take the wind out of their sails (sales) for the rest of the holiday shopping season.

There are just so many logical fallacies in this whole thing. Ok, let's say for a second you think they're inviting game testers, QA people or whatever other role "Legends" is to their company meetings where they discuss their confidential business strategy for the next 6 months.

Why have none of these reports been corroborated? When you DO invite the 'riff raff', things get leaked - and fast. Yet all we have is a single post from one site of questionable repute that has self advertised on just about every major gaming medium online. I dunno, I suppose I'm just a cynic - and this smells funny to me.

Ban bet: me versus censoring the dpad domain name if they don't cut the price in March? :D

games make sense. price cuts not so much, since they have shareholders and wanna make money. a killzone 2 bundle would rock (i want one plz).

I like Little Big Planet. I think my first user created level will be a shit fest then at the very end Bishoptl pops up and yells "Good Morning!" and everything gets sunny and roses pop up.

Good evening! :)

Also, I am either a complete idiot, or QWOP is the most evil Rhythm game ever created, darn your tag.

No, I am not touching this thread with a barge pole, I'm out
