That's good news. I may be able to get a PS3 soon that I thought.

I wonder if Microsoft will counter with a price drop of their own?

**Barkworm** · 07-10-2007, 02:00 AM

That would be funny because it would totally crush Sony. They pretty much played into Microsoft's hand with the price drop.

*Dr. Doom* · 07-10-2007, 04:24 PM

Well, they're losing even more money on the systems now, and I really wouldn't be shocked if 360's price dropped even just a little, based on how much longer it's been out.

*Dr. Doom* · 07-14-2007, 08:44 AM

Right, so uh......apparently the REAL reason that the 60GB model got a price drop is because it's been discontinued. They're just gonna stick with this new 80GB model for $599.

between the new tales, jeanne d'arc and mhf2, i have no idea how i'll come up with cash for any other console but psp for a while

*Dr. Doom* · 07-18-2007, 12:55 PM

PSP's got some good stuff on it. I wish I had one.

*Dr. Doom* · 07-18-2007, 01:58 PM

Double post for great justice. Gamespot has posted 2 MGS related stories; first, Kojima showed a 20 minute demo of GotP at an event in Japan, revealing several new aspects of the gameplay. In addition to that, he also announced that he was so happy with Subsistance's online play, they're making a brand new online MGS game for the PS3, as well as releasing an add-on version of Portable Ops.

Both stories are right here.

Now that Ai and Peanut are gone, I can say this without getting flamed: yes, it does have some good stuff. A lot of good stuff, actually.

*Brodie* · 07-18-2007, 08:28 PM

Whoa, whoa, whoa....Let's not jump the gun.

SOME good stuff.

**Barkworm** · 07-19-2007, 02:54 AM

I've had my PSP for two months, it's used almost exclusively as an MP3 player. Both games I got (Daxter and Loco Roco)... well, they don't actually suck but they're not that great either. And it bothers me a big deal that Daxter is always being used as an example for 3D gameplay done right on the PSP because that game is broken.

Over here retailers have been going one better on Sony's new 'buy a PS3, get a free controller and two games' by giving away a third game free. I'm thinking of picking one up, if just for BluRay and MGS4.

*Dr. Doom* · 09-08-2007, 10:21 AM

So, like...PS3 ISN'T fully BC now?

**ThirdMarioBro** · 09-08-2007, 03:37 PM

I doubt it will ever be now that they lost the emotion engine. Neither Sony or Microsoft show much interest in the feature.

Despite the fact that both systems support BC for almost every single game people who normally want to go back and play. Yeah, not much interest. I guess they can't just be like Nintendo and use the exact same sh*tty f*cking hardware for 12 years in a row.

*Mr. Snackpants* · 09-15-2007, 10:48 AM

I remember saying, "Who needs a web browser on their gaming console. I have a computer for that." Well now I wish my 360 had a web browser like the PS3, because my laptop is in for repairs....2 or maybe even 3 weeks. **** me.

You have a Wii, right? Use that.

Haha. **** I forgot about my f*cking Wii! I haven't plugged it in for so long it slipped my mind. Can I plug a keyboard into one of the Wiis USB port?

Yeah, but only on the message board and Wii shop channel. Why they don't allow it on the internet channel is beyond me...
