I can only best describe it as wireless internet. Some people have their house set up for wireless internet, where computers and other devices don't have to use wires or be hard-lined into the wall.

Well first off, the PS3 doesn't have a lot of games worth playing. Second, if you have a PS1 and 2, you probably won't get rid of all your games when you buy the PS3. If you ever want to play them, you don't have to keep old systems. You can just have the one PS3.

I usually sell my system with all the games and controllers since most of my games aren't that new anyways.

I've never understood why people sell all their old games and systems when "upgrading" to the next gen.

You must have not enjoyed them all that much in the first place or something. :shrug:

After beating a game, you get bored. Plus why would I keep Madden 05 when I could get Madden 08? :grin:

If all you have is sports games I can understand it. But, I have RPGs and other just fun games worth playing over and over again.

If you really enjoy the game, though, why would you want to get rid of it?

I can understand getting rid of some games, but all? Those games of the past must not mean much to you or must have been a really forgettable experience overall to ditch 'em in favor of newer games.

I still have most of my games dating back to the late 80s. :-/

Every other country on Earth has a cheaper PlayStation 3, and now it's officially official in America too: Sony announced that the PS3 will be $100 cheaper in the US.

The high-end PlayStation model, with an 80 gigabyte hard drive, now costs $499, down from $599. That effectively eliminates the lower-end model, which has a 60-gigabyte drive and has sold for $499. A new low-end model with a 40-gigabyte drive will go on sale Nov. 2 for $399.

So all you cheap-ass gamers who haven't picked up a PlayStation 3 yet, you have little excuse.

Of course, the cheaper PS3's come with a downside--the lack of backward compatibility.

"We're choosing to focus on the PlayStation 2 consumer with the PlayStation 2, which remains incredibly relevant, and focus on the PlayStation 3 consumer with the new 40-gigabyte model and the great software coming out," Sony's Jack Tretton told Reuters.

SAN FRANCISCO (Reuters) - Sony Corp (6758.T: Quote, Profile, Research) will launch a cheaper model of its PlayStation 3 in the United States, hoping to attract more buyers as it goes up against rival game consoles from Microsoft and Nintendo this holiday.

The company also cut the price of its highest-capacity model by about 17 percent.

The new version of the PS3 will come with a 40-gigabyte hard drive, cost $400, and go on sale on November 2, said Jack Tretton, president of Sony Computer Entertainment America.

The price of the 80-gigabyte version will be cut to $500 from $600.

The 40-gigabyte model has already made its debut in Europe and Japan, and was widely expected to come to the United States ahead of the crucial year-end shopping season that accounts for the largest single chunk of annual video game software and hardware sales.

"I think the educational curve is starting to be broached with the general consumer," Tretton told Reuters in an interview, when asked about his expectations for the PS3 through the end of the year.

Sales of the PS3, which has a built-in Blu-ray drive for playing high-definition DVDs, have lagged those of Microsoft Corp's (MSFT.O: Quote, Profile, Research) Xbox 360, which comes in versions costing from $280 to $450, and Nintendo Co Ltd's (7974.OS: Quote, Profile, Research) Wii, which costs $250.

Sony had previously offered a 20-gigabyte model but stopped making it earlier this year and cut the price to clear out inventory after finding most customers were opting for higher-capacity versions.

For the new 40-gigabyte PS3, Sony has removed its ability to play games for the predecessor PlayStation 2, which is still selling strong despite its aging technology.

"We're choosing to focus on the PlayStation 2 consumer with the PlayStation 2, which remains incredibly relevant, and focus on the PlayStation 3 consumer with the new 40-gigabyte model and the great software coming out," Tretton said.

"Backward compatibility is a nice secondary consideration, but it's far from the number-one priority."

Still sticking to that :lol:

You better hurry I guess. Seems like they are going to stop making the 60 gig one. Or am I wrong?

Don't buy PS2 games says Sony

Apparently Sony America's Jack Tretton didn't get the memo about keeping his trap shut.

According to The Wall Street Journal he recently revealed that removing backwards compatibility didn't save any significant amount of money for Sony.

Instead he admitted it was to "encourage buyers of the entry-level PS3 to purchase more games designed specifically for the new system".


Dumbass. They have got to add it back now...right?

What games are there to buy from the PS3 library in the first place? :lol:
