PS3 can't do backwards compatibility well.

[DarkFlood2]

But that is mainly due to the fact that 4kids does all of the dubbing for the Sonic games.

Ugh.. that show is horrible..

Sega wins, period.

Anyways, I usually don't care that much for the console's specifications in particular, I look at what games are available.  I mean, what's the use of awesome graphics if there's not games I want to play that use them, you know?  Because of this, I'll most likely get a Wii if anything (The Legend of Zelda - Twilight Princess, Super Smash Brothers Brawl, and Fire Emblem - The Goddess of Dawn).

Is it true that the PS3's price will drop a bit in Japan but not in the US? They say Konomi, and Squenix are pushing for it.

I get this stuff from Game Informer. They give you a free 13 (12 plus a desparate extra) month subscription if you buy something.

Still, the PS3's price is ridiculous. I don't need a blue-ray player. I don't need a motion sensor opener, and I don't need a new computer. Just give me Final Fantasy, Project Ico Stuff, and my sports games.

I'm even starting to look at 360 for Mistwalker's stuff.

I though the case was that they can't drop the price IF they want to make a profit.

[Blue_Strife]

From what I hear, they're already losing money on each PS3 sold, so I doubt a price drop will come anytime soon. If it's true, people waiting for the price drop will be waiting a long time, or perhaps will never get it. Who knows.

Sony loses about $270 per console.

I like Megaten, though... honestly I like those Smackdown VS Raw games too. It's hilarious having Bobobo as a wrestler equipt with outragiously huge afro. XD I got to find that code to make it even bigger XD.

I plan to get 2007 as well. I wonder how many more options are available?

Who cares? The point is: America Gains.

I don't even bloody trust that video. It looks like it's made by a fanboy and the graphics pulled down by the creator.

On another note, if you wanna play PS2 games, WHY DON"T YOU JUST BLOODY BUY A PS2?!

Also, Osmose, the PS3 does more than just play video games. It's become an entertainment system.

Darkflood2 is now marked as a noob.

Omg, of course the price is gonna go down. Like come on, be real. For EVERY system the price drops down eventually. They know most of us can't afford this price range, so what are they gonna do? Keep it high as hell and keep losing money? Hell no, it's gonna go down. Not now since it just came out. But eventually it will go down to a reasonable price. Oymei..

But when you're already losing $300 apiece, are you really gonna make it so that you're losing $500? The price will drop, but only after they stop producing them and are selling surplus systems.

Drace, if you have the theory of "if you wanna play PS2 games, WHY DON"T YOU JUST BLOODY BUY A PS2?!" why don't you have the same stance of "if you want an entertainment system, BUY A BLOODY ENTERTAINMENT SYSTEM!"? PS3 isn't an entertainment system, it's a video game. It was made primarily for video games, it will be used primarily for video games.

Dude, it IS an entertainment system, just like the 360.

[Osmose]

If "Playing Movies" qualifies as "Entertainment System", then sure. But with the PS3, the only thing it has over the other consoles is that it can play Blu-ray, and I'm highly doubtful Blu-Ray will catch on any time soon.

I'm not sure about that. I'm seeing more and more Blu-ray stuff in the stores here lately.
