Who the hell pays full price for a game? Get off your butt and shop around. I've never paid less than 15% below RRP for a game.

As for "should be on the disk", they have to draw a line somewhere. Many extras are developed after a game has gone gold and been released. Do you want to wait longer for most games? And how do you know that this is not factored into the profit margin, i.e. the ability to make money from their product depends partly on sales of additional content. Games companies are businesses.

Reminds me of the dude round here who said a while ago that games had no reason to be more than $20 each, brand new. Yes, no reason at all - unless you wanted a games company to survive for more than one release.

PS I've just re-read your post.....

"Their is no reason left for the Average consumer to say .......... I THINK ILL BUY A PS3."

"all the games are on the now cheaper 360"

"It seem'd like they were beta testing the ps3"

"the psp is in the same boat. It is selling well yea but their are no good games.... NONE"

Yep. You are talking out of your ass. All the (PS3) games are on the 360. LOL.

In the gaming context (i.e. for the many people who buy a PS3 for gaming and HD movies, like me), cheaper Blu-ray players will only have a big effect on the PS3 when a 360 AND a Blu-ray player together cost less than a PS3. Probably never.

Dude you're full of prime fanboi crap. You'll get at least a hundred thousand RRoDs before a single YLOD.

Reminds me of a post I read on a gaming forum where some guy complained of getting a YLOD and ranted "That's it! I'm buying a 360!". So funny.

A cheaper, 45nm CELL-manufacturing process "PS3 Lite" will explode in Japan and probably elsewhere too. End of 09? I reckon $299 is the magic figure for the US.

And anyway, MS have turned profit from the 360. Yes I know it is cheaper to manufacture, but once you add up those RRoD and extended warranty costs........

And as someone has pointed out, Sony is making profit on PS3 software.

Simple. The difference comes from manufacturing and materials, packaging, shipping and store profit.

(And you as the purchaser have resale value.)

No, the RRP is 40 quid (what kind of moron pays RRP these days?) which is less than a Wiimote/nunchuck set or a 360 controller with rechargeable battery pack.

Stop complaining, get off your backside and find a deal - I just preordered one from a UK online game seller for £32.99 including delivery.

Expect Apple to "invent" these screens in a future iMac refresh.......

Unfortunately, being English I'll have to wait another four months for this game while they change the language from the, er, English in the US versi.....

Damn SCEE. Anyone got Sir Howard's email? I want to ask him to sack Reeves.

MS really do act and sound like a bunch of to$$ers when they sit there and brag about an install base on a product launched a year before the competition (year and a half in Europe).

Look at the console sales from launch for all three. I'll give you one guess who is in third place (even though they had over a year of unchallenged sales)...........
