i wonder how much the movies will cost

Awesome... now for a reason to get it... hmmmm...

I'll get it for my kids... yeah, the kids


(ps I really do have kids to blame it on)

thats nothin. the new sony handheld is goign to own all.

plays games, music and movies. has 1.8 gig disks.

how could anyone NOT want one of those.

Wow, Sony just said "Fuuuuuuck You!" to Bill Gates and Microsoft. And Nintendo just neads to stop....How can they compete with this, cause you know X-Box 2 will begin being desinged shortly....

Actually, I think Nintendo execs released a statement saying that they'll concentrate upon video game software rather than hardware in the future. I can't remember for the life of me here I read it, but it looked rather official to me.

Well, this is it then. Consoles are now PCs with some more abstractions over them. They're running the same architectures, the same devices, the same protocols. Which means I'm going to get to put my degree to use on these fuckers and reverse engineer them to death

Sounds like a Troll to me... IGN, et al seem to think the gamecube successor is work in progress...

what would be the sense in stopping? they have a monopoly on the handheld market currently, they've got a major deal in the arcade business with Sony and Namco, and they've sold better on their home territory than microsoft could ever dream of. Plus they finally have third party support, for a change.

Especially since the PSX isn't the Sony PS3, it's just an upgraded PS2... read ign more...

Must have.. mmmm.. PSX

For most people it's mostly useless. It's a PC that will work for most people but since most Gamers already have a PS2 this isn't needed. It'll also be hideously expensive.

Sony can suck my nuts if they're making a new console. Frickin money grubbers. If you plans to keep producing and producing, build it up and then put out the final version. But of coarse they won't do this because they know that people will continue to buy whatever new shit they put out.
It pisses me off actually.

umm...the point of running a business is of course TO MAKE AS MUCH MONEY AS POSSIBLE...therefore i like the fact that they "milk" the situation so well.

Welcome to capitalism! Your credit card will be arriving in the mail shortly.

Why, please tell me why you would want to keep on spending more money on something that you know is gonna be upgraded in about a year. You like you're money to be milked from you? Doesn't make any sense to me. Maybe it's just me though, unless you continuously like to spend money on shit that will be old and outdated very soon. What I'm sayin is, Sony probably new they fcould make the next version before they could put out the last version. Just wait a few generations and play the new one at a friends house or somethin. Wow, Capitalism, I never new it exsisted.
Whatever you say though. Spend your doe however you want.

I hear the non-Import model can fellate the owner.

The idea of convergence has been a part of Sony senior mgmt mantra for a decade now. That was their intention with the VAIO dekstop/laptop line, that was the intention with PS family, that's the intention with everything they do.

Console game hardware development takes a long time, believe it or not. Sony has the next two systems on the roadmap, believe it or not (though obviously one's much further along). The others have their roadmaps too, gaming has become quite a big business over the last couple decades. Big money's changing hands here, from the hundreds we fork over on the console to the much larger pile of cash we spend buying and renting games. I miss the gaming industry sometimes...

trilo

I don't get it.
Why not just get a computer?

pretty soon, our cell phones will be our game systems, computers, planners, discmans, medicine holders and credit cards.

Look out matrix... look out vanilla sky... look out high-tech future... here we come.

cos people are sony's zealot monkeys... lol

Lots of people just like to spend money on digital gadgetry. They want stuff, companies make it. No one is forcing anyone to buy anything, although if you are weak willed and into toys it sure can be tough to resist that new blinking/beeping something.

especially if it has Blue LEDs...

Bah, if I really wanted to play a PS2 game I'd just use an emulator. My puters way better than a PS2 will ever be. And it plays nintendo ,turbographix, neogeo, SNES ,N64, PS1, Atari....yep if it existed you can bet you can put it on your PC. Sides I can gaze at really cute women on my puter while I have metroid open in a window.

lol when you said window I thought you were talking about case mods... oh well I guess not lol
