Frankly, if I didn't have a PS3, I'd be waiting for them to package the DS3 so I save $50 (or whatever its MSRP is)

I always reach for the original SIXAXIS just because it's like a feather in the hand. I like the much lighter controller. Vibration adds next to nothing for any of the games currently out there: maybe once MGS4 hits it'll be a bigger deal.

Now, I want to get a second SIXAXIS before they go away.]]>Feb 21st 2008 1:52AMhttp://www.engadget.com/2008/02/21/80gb-ps3-goes-missing-from-sony-style-site/http://www.engadget.com/2008/02/21/80gb-ps3-goes-missing-from-sony-style-site/
then they should stop making backwards compatibility a buy time decistion and introduce the software emulation across the range and not make ppl purchase titles they already own via the PSN.

why don't Sony allow you to time shift i wonder.....

FTA:

Long time ago, oh, say a year and a half ago, Sony director Phil Harrison called backward compatibility a "core value." Here's what he told GamePro in May 2006.

"Backwards compatibility, as you know from PlayStation One and PlayStation 2, is a core value of what we believe we should offer. And access to the library of content people have created, bought for themselves, and accumulated over the years is necessary to create a format. PlayStation is a format meaning that it transcends many devices -- PSOne, PS2, and now PS3."

I have a copy of Sony's January 23 "PlayStation in Review" press release sitting in front of me. Among other things, it devotes two of six bullet points to "PlayStation total [hardware and software] revenues." Clearly part of this company wants us to see the value of "PlayStation" as a brand, not a singular ailing third generation console.

Another part -- the one making decisions about what configurations of the PS3 ought to be put to market -- would apparently prefer you kindly forget its second generation product. Forget it, that is, despite a library of some 1,500 games, December sales of 1.1 million units (beating the PS3, with 798k) and more software unit sales than any other console on the market.

Why, if an unverified memo turns out to be correct, will Sony really drop its $600 80GB PS3 and the only currently available version that lets buyers play PS2 games?

Maybe they aren't. Maybe they're planning to introduce a $300 model and add PS2 compatibility to the $400 model. Maybe they're in fact planning to discontinue a really dumb idea (making PS2 compatibility a buy-time decision) and add software compatibility to the $400 model. Maybe they'll even offer a system update to buyers of the existing 40GB model that up-flashes their systems.

You know PS2 compatibility is just a software trick in the 80GB model, right?

I am a 3rd key manager at a Gamestop and i was one of the ones who was on a conference call when it was reported that this SKU was discontinued by the manufacturer, on top of that we even got it in writing via email!

You're right. Now that there is only one format and everyone will be looking into a blu-ray player in 2008, and sony happens to have a good profile 2.0 player, video game console, and media center, all for the price of just a player...sure there's no advantage there.

I am looking to buy one but I want BC and the extra ports as well as SACD. I will not buy a 40GB.

NEWSFLASH! it's THE new super cool thing about internet blogs, man- you can click on headlines you actually find interesting for more detail... everything else just ignore and whiz by. What a concept!

Dude- u make it sound like someone's putting you to some huge, almost insulting inconvenience when you see the 'Apple Store Down' headlines. Get over it. I, for one, definitely want Engadget to continue that practice for the simple reason, when the Apple Store is down, it more often than not indicates a new product offering.
