BB and CC still have it @ $599.99...Hmmm, can you say 30 day price protection
how about PM? YMMV though
Been having trouble with that if they aren't in stock...BS if you ask me.
ie- Orange Box
It's already been said a million times... but the 80gb PS3 still used some PS2 hardware for backwards compatibility. That hardware is now gone from the 40gb PS3 so no backwards compatibility at all.I don't quite understand why they can't even bother with a software solution...but it seems they've removed it for this model.
No BC is terrible. Might have to hold out for the 80 gig or skip the Ps3 til next year..
Resistance and Motorstorm should definitely not still be $60, .
How about we start seeing some price cuts on the games?
Resistance and Motorstorm should definitely not still be $60, at this point... cmon Sony, start a GH program for PS3, and drop these two to $30.
I understand why some people that are just looking at the PS3 for just games but if you've got alot of DVD's and your interested in Bluray, a PS3 is a no brainer. Because it's still considered one of the best Bluray players out there and the upconversion performance is second to none. And performance in those two area's are still being improved thru firmware updates and you can't say that about alot of stand alone players
Pointing to its upscaling of standard dvds is a stretch when great upscaling players are cheap as dirt. Blu Ray and HD dvd can both diaf as far as the general public are concerned.
abso-fucking-lootely. its was a no brainer at $699!!!!!! who gives two shits about the games, we all know they'll come eventually and even if they didn't who cares. BD kicks ass!! said it b4, will say it again...its those who bitch that cannot afford them. at the end of the day we all winI understand why some people that are just looking at the PS3 for just games but if you've got alot of DVD's and your interested in Bluray, a PS3 is a no brainer.

The PS3 upscales as well as a good Faroujia player does, and those are ~not~ cheap: The low end Oppo runs at least $200.
We're obviously not the general public. We're tech folk, we actually like HDDVD and blu-ray.
I would hope the PS3 performs better than Faroudja chips, and I believe it does. Faroudja is considered pretty budget these days, and I don't think they ever solved the macroblocking issues that popped up with some types of displays. The PS3 ranks better than Faroudja players but falls a bit short compared to the next level stuff from Realta and Reon, but those players go for $600+ (Toshiba XA2, Samsung BDP-1200).

Like I said before you want find a better upscaler or bluray player that's beats the PS3 for under 500 period that can compete feature wise.

I disagree, I'm wacky tech-folk and *still* abhor both formats. Bluray and HD-DVD are both SHIT. They are minor, bullshit evolutions of the DVD technology, and are 100% PURELY an excuse to sell us the same old content AGAIN, at a newly inflated price tag.
To the content companies promoting these bullshit formats, I say "fuck you very much". I'll feed my HDTV with games via 360 and upscaled STANDARD dvd's, which look great as it is without the anal raping on both players and disks.
Bluray sucks a fat cock. HD-DVD sucks a fat cock, too.
