Well I gotta tell you.
You're not selling me on anything.
20 years?
Maybe you should retire.

You may be too young, but it is on Youtube. They promised the WORLD, missed their launch window, and changed the specs of the machine between reveal and launch. LOL. That may be the main reasons the 360 jumped on PS3 and never let up. Microsoft did a great Reveal of the 360. Showed hardware, people playing the hardware.

Question my bio all you want, doesn't change the fact Sony has lost their Marketing savvy. You can see it in all their products. Apple and Samsung have taken the leadership positions in other Consumer Electronic spaces where Sony used to DOMINATE. Microsoft has done it in the Console space. Take your blinders off.

Just to make it easy for you, here is a video of the 2005 PS3 reveal that shows what was promised and what changed. (no hardware....)

Here are highlights of an Embarrassing E3 presentation after missing their launch window of April 2006. You see hardware....but it doesn't go smooth:

Just to compare, Here is the Xbox 360 from 2005: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=9ZKW3...tzzPDhhihG3U2V

It is in 5 parts, you can click the side bar to see all of them.

"You may be too young" Be a little more petty and insulting.

Speaking of blinders, you should take off yours, Killzone was very much a live demo.

As for this "great" 360 reveal, that MTV reveal was a joke and you obviously don't remember it.

Horrible, horrible, horrible.

That wasn't a reveal, that was promo show. The 360 was first shown at the E3 press conference.

As for kill zone, yeah I guess you don't remember the Killzone 2 demo which Sony had to admit was CG after it ran at the PS3 reveal...lol. Still...it's a game playing on non-existent hardware.

Watch the MS 360 E3 reveal. You see hardware, you see people playing the hardware. If Sony had waited to do that....that would have been fine. Why show a bunch of videos with no hardware? The wanted to beat Microsoft to the punch, but were not ready with the hardware. Repeating the same mistakes. BTW....I do own a PS3 and a 360.

...another thread gone wrong.

I am looking forward to preordering, don't really care what it looks like (I am not walking around with it, sits in an entertainment center) and as far as price I would be highly surprised if Sony rolled out with a $599 price again. I am ok with $399-$499 range.

LOL, so Microsoft does a program on MTV called "XBox 360 Revealed", but yet you say their reveal is actually the later E3 presentation because it doesn't conform to your prejudices?

Maybe it's called learning from your mistakes. Relax.
