Actually you can.

This in-store ad has probably been around for a long time (my TRU is notoriously lax in keeping themselves up to date), but it caught my eye this week.
This is probably not going to be the ad campaign they use for the PS3 launch.
Unless you're heavily invested in blu-ray, that $600 price just sucks. And no one is heavily invested in blu-ray. I wonder who keeps telling Sony that people want that. We're the pawns in a grand technology chess match, and it's the PlayStation brand that's going to suffer. What really grinds me is all the stuff I'm looking forward to (new Fatal Frame, new Katamari, new Red Dead Revolver, new Kingdom Hearts, new Deception, new GTA) that now seems in jeopardy should this thing tank. For most of the games on that list, half of the reason why they even exist is because sixty gajillion people own a PS2, so even weird untested games can make a run for a profit. Take away the multi-zillions in home penetration, and what is the likelihood of the next-generation's equivalent to Katamari, Ico, Cookies & Cream, or Mr. Mosquito? We'll end up with more bullshit sports games, more extreme urban driving clones, and more whiz-bang same-old shooters.
Viva la Wii. |
