As tempting as it is to roll one's eyes at the claim that any device "does everything," at $300 I think the PS3 finally has a real leg up on the 360, as a media device. Blu-ray is the big back-of-box feature, of course, but I also think the PS3 is a lot more functional, responsive, and pleasant to use as a media sharing and playback device than the Xbox. Sony's still got a ways to go with the PlayStation Network and exclusive games lineup, but the price drop and smaller enclosure really do make this a much more appealing package to people who use their TVs to do, well, anything.
So who's gotten a PS3 since the price drop? Did you find a Slim yet, or buy a discounted previous model? Did the price drop finally push you over the edge? How does the possible audacity of this new ad campaign strike you?
Gah, these are great ads.
Hm? Im sorry, you said something?
Ahh old people make me laugh.
And how do you get a job as the Director of rumor confirmation?
lolz this is dumb
Can't wait for my PS3 Slim to arrive...
When I get paid next week, I will be purchasing a PS3 finally. The price drop is what drove me to it in the long run. :D
Patience my man. You'll get that too.
I personally liked how Sony poked fun at themselves for having so many leaks.
hehe, amen to that
Very funny. They just want us to buy another ps2, my ps2 phat is working really bad, I will have to buy a slim soon, those little bastards... , don't tell us that it can't fully emulate it by software, what the hell are you thinking Sony.
So long as the PS2 is still on the market, there's no real reason for Sony to bother with BC.
