Remember when they said that there was going to be a price cut on the 1st gen iPhone?

then what happens... no more

Don't listen to these idiots... this is like saying there will be a price drop on 2008 model cars...

The Blu-ray decoding is done in software, so removing Blu-ray playback will NOT reduce the price of the console, with the possible exception of not having to pay the Blu-ray royalties.]]>Feb 25th 2009 2:58PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2009/02/25/ps3-price-cut-may-be-on-the-way-very-soon-says-analyst/http://www.engadget.com/2009/02/25/ps3-price-cut-may-be-on-the-way-very-soon-says-analyst/
She states "Hickey also speculates that Sony could hack the Blu-ray out of the PS3 in order to make that price cut doable, but that seems slightly wild to us."

When you read the actual story, Hickey says 'We are also hearing continued speculation that Sony is working on a non-Blu-ray PS3 console, which could enable them to make the aforementioned hardware price reduction.'

So Hickey isn't speculating. He is simply saying that he is hearing speculation. There's a difference.

And while I would agree that it doesn't sound like a plausible solution for Sony, they currently do offer the full version of at least one disc-based game via download: Burnout Paradise.]]>Feb 25th 2009 3:43PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2009/02/25/ps3-price-cut-may-be-on-the-way-very-soon-says-analyst/http://www.engadget.com/2009/02/25/ps3-price-cut-may-be-on-the-way-very-soon-says-analyst/Feb 25th 2009 3:57PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2009/02/25/ps3-price-cut-may-be-on-the-way-very-soon-says-analyst/http://www.engadget.com/2009/02/25/ps3-price-cut-may-be-on-the-way-very-soon-says-analyst/Feb 25th 2009 4:01PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2009/02/25/ps3-price-cut-may-be-on-the-way-very-soon-says-analyst/http://www.engadget.com/2009/02/25/ps3-price-cut-may-be-on-the-way-very-soon-says-analyst/Feb 25th 2009 7:48PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2009/02/25/ps3-price-cut-may-be-on-the-way-very-soon-says-analyst/http://www.engadget.com/2009/02/25/ps3-price-cut-may-be-on-the-way-very-soon-says-analyst/Feb 25th 2009 2:27PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2009/02/25/ps3-price-cut-may-be-on-the-way-very-soon-says-analyst/http://www.engadget.com/2009/02/25/ps3-price-cut-may-be-on-the-way-very-soon-says-analyst/Feb 25th 2009 2:38PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2009/02/25/ps3-price-cut-may-be-on-the-way-very-soon-says-analyst/http://www.engadget.com/2009/02/25/ps3-price-cut-may-be-on-the-way-very-soon-says-analyst/Feb 26th 2009 9:09AMhttp://www.engadget.com/2009/02/25/ps3-price-cut-may-be-on-the-way-very-soon-says-analyst/http://www.engadget.com/2009/02/25/ps3-price-cut-may-be-on-the-way-very-soon-says-analyst/Feb 25th 2009 2:47PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2009/02/25/ps3-price-cut-may-be-on-the-way-very-soon-says-analyst/http://www.engadget.com/2009/02/25/ps3-price-cut-may-be-on-the-way-very-soon-says-analyst/

That analyst is epic fail.

Taking a system and removing the ability to actually play the physical game disks seems to make complete sense! (sarcasm). This Hickey has lost any credibility he may have had... if he had any. I mean seriously?! "Hey kids, buy the PS3. You can't play any games on it, that you'd find in the store... though you can play titles you download from the PSN... and you can't play any Blu-ray movies... but hey...

So what I can't play L4D , its not really a 360 exclusive because my Nvidea card and Core 2 can handle it great. All the games I listed are AAA Exclusives, 360 really has no actual exclusives. The few console exclusive they had usually go to ps3, they are in fact only timed exclusives such as Bioshock, Lost Planet, Mass Effect (announced)

so yeah I think i just nuked your point. ]]>Feb 25th 2009 2:58PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2009/02/25/ps3-price-cut-may-be-on-the-way-very-soon-says-analyst/http://www.engadget.com/2009/02/25/ps3-price-cut-may-be-on-the-way-very-soon-says-analyst/
I'm addicted to L4D at the moment and I wouldn't buy any console that doesn't have it. I didn't expect everyone to feel the same way, but if you haven't played L4D yet you should check it out!!!!

Clearly you are a mindless Microbot...

How about this as food for thought... the PS3 is still outselling the 360 thou.,

21.3mPS3 in 2.5 years is better than 28m 360's in 3.5 years...
20m PSN accounts is far better than 9m Xbox Live Gold accounts.
