    I don't think Sony will opt for a "marketplace" like xbox live. I think they are content with an open architecture like they had for the PS2.

      Yes, but money they plan on making back. Sony will be fine.

Blu-Ray will already be established and thriving (assuming the best case scenario).

        Well, it's not suprising you haven't heard about Sony's DVR plans at any previous press conference. They haven't had it yet. Stay tuned.

          It's rumoured they'll match Xbox Live feature for feature. They will more than likely have a type of marketplace considering Sony is a big player in the movie and music industry. It's a great way to advertise. That is one thing I am sure will be there.

            Yes, like I said, best case scenario.

            Worst case scenario... that is another story.

              It's good that Sony isn't catering to him then. Other's will care to however. That was my point.

                Sony is on thin ice. I believe video games is the only profitable thing they have going for them right now. It will be very tough to take a multi-billion dollar loss on PS3.

                Blu-Ray and PS3 is really make or break for Sony. They have to get it right and make a profit, otherwise Sony could be in a lot of trouble.

                MS on the other hand, can take a HUGE loss on Xbox, and still wake up the next morning and feel good about itself.

                Sony will be walking a very thin line on how much they charge for this thing.

                  There is a problem with that comparison. When Color TV's first came out it still took over 10 yrs before they became standard in every house. The typical life cycle of a console is 5 yrs so even if HDTV's become damn near standard in most homes in 10 yrs...that will be after the PS3's life cycle.

                    I'm sure there are many more with the same scenario as me. I dont need a all-in-one multimedia machine, I want a video gaming console that will have exclusive titles like Metal Gear and Grand Theft Auto. All that other stuff is simply fluff to me right now. You can pretty much gauge from this very thread that many ppl hardly care about Blue-Ray and DVRs. I have no clue why you think ppl will actually care about all that extra stuff. Just cause you do.

                        I don't believe it will take 10 years, maybe 5. The fact is HDTV's are a hot commodity right now, people are buying them. They are everywhere. I think Sony and MS have done their research and planned on the results. Times are changing.

                          So please don't make statements such as this which are 100% wrong.

                          Ditto and I have a release system. I've had quite a few 15 hour days of playing when my nephews come over and not even a hint of a lockup.

                            I'm sure there will be. Like PS2king, might be something sold seperately. Who knows.

                              Sure.



                              No, I cancelled my pre-order at EB in August. I didn't by into the hype for long. I have had 0 regrets, and glad I didn't waste my money.

                              All you can say is "probably." Probably is what you rely on. Probably is all you got. I have indeed played NBA 2K6. COD2, PGR, all before and enough to "probably" have an opinion on the 360. If I hadn't played it, I "probably" wouldn't have room to talk about it.

                              Actually, you are in love with the 360. You are, and you know it, but won't admit it. I have indeed stated I prefer the PS3 over the 360 (many times in fact).

                              The truth is, there are FANBOYS...... and then there's you, Mr. Moderator. Self-explanatory.

                              You didn't buy into the hype for the 360???? Yet that's all you've done with the PS3 because that's all that's been out there for the PS3 is HYPE.

                                For the late, there are 360 threads to discuss your problems/games/whatever in. This is the PS3 thread.
