Let the hive mind of Engadget get that for you.
"I finally got a new laptop with a lone USB 3.0 port. I'm now looking at getting a USB 3.0 hub with a power adapter so I can use both of my USB 3.0 hard drives at faster speeds. I've read lots of horror stories where some hubs either don't come with power adapters -- and as a consequence the portable drives don't work with them properly -- or they are designed poorly which results in USB 2.0 speeds. Or, the hard drives keep getting disconnected. Do your readers have any suggestions or experience using USB 3.0 hubs? Thanks!"
Are you kidding?
"$70 is pricey for a game + camera that you can also use for video chat and other upcoming games?"
"$70 for a Game + Camera + Cards + Playing Board."
Ok... first off, I spend $60 on the games I WANT to play. I spend $60 on triple A games like Halo 3 or BioShock. It's not a value when you get some crap you don't want. Hello, what if someone who wants the EyeToy or whatever they call it DOESN'T want some kiddie card-game? Hmm... visions of used copies littering Gamestop shelves I see.
Secondly... I do understand that this has a mic built in... but the Xbox 360 camera (which comes bundled with a headset) is $39.99. Heck, I was even critical of MS for not selling the camera WITHOUT the headset (If the headset by itself is about $15... then that means the camera could only be around $25 - $30 if they sold them seperately).
Sony's been making a lot of wack-ass business decisions. Drop the game/card game and sell this thing for $40. Not that some chintzy web-cam is going to be the deciding factor when one decides on a PS3 or 360... but you're still going to turn a lot of people away who might have been willing to drop $40 on a the camera but not $70 for the bundle.
You do understand that some people can afford both a 360 and PS3, right?
Its amazing how your perspective changes when you actually buy your own toys and quit depending on mommy and daddy. Maybe some day you'll grow up. I for one welcome new things... and fortunately for me I spent more time learning a skill than being a fanboy when I was your age, so I can easily spend $70 for the bundle. Good job Sony.
