Evidently the $500 version has apparently no HDMI, no memory card and no WiFi.

I know, I'm screwing around.

Let's see if Nintendo will have 2 skus to stay consistant.

I guess this is Sony's version of the ****** pack.

for all the xbox haters, the ps3 is ~11 pounds. That's a beast.

WOW! Yes, this is the tard pack:

ign.com

Looking at the official press site of SCEA, we noticed that the PS3 with the 20 gigabyte hard drive seemed to lack HDMI support. This seems to be confirmed by an offical press release from SCEA, which indicates via comparison between the two systems. However, it also indicates that the 20 gigabyte system won't have Memory Stick, SD or Compact Flash reading capability or WiFi support. Even worse, it appears that rumble doesn't appear to be included with the new six axis sensing controller.

Could the 20 gig become a gamer shunned system? When Microsoft launched the Xbox 360, consumers hated the Core system that didn't come with a hard drive and other features, quickly dubbing it the "tard pack." Will the 20 gig suffer the same fate? We'll have more details as we get them from the show.

$499 PS3:

-20 GB HDD
-No HDMI
-No Media Reading Capability (MS, SD, or CF)
-No WiFi Support
-No Rumble Feature in controller
-Wired Controller

This is missing a lot of features and no HDMI, what are they thinking.

Hell the Wii could come in at one price sku at $299 and have most gamers thrilled.

I thought $399 was pushing it, I also don't have a 360 because of that price point (and lack of availability for that Xmas impulse buy), now the 360 looks like a friggin bargain.

$600?!! You can go ahead and count me out.

I think what will really hurt Sony is that gamers know that they could buy the 360 at $299 or $399 and then supplement that with a Wii which is said to run anywhere from $199 to $299. You could have 2 next gen consoles for the price of one.

Re: Playstation 3 Information, hardware, games discussion Part II

I think for us sports gamers is tilts the favor to the 360.

I mean, games from EA and 2k are only going to be ports across the Ps3 and 360, so if you are going to buy sports games 90% of the time (Hell, I only have Oblivion and COD2, only two non-sport games I have for all my systems. I just rent those other games because you beat them and get tired of them.) for sports, 360 is the way to go now simply because Sony's price is uh...a bit TOO steep for me right now.
