In order to keep up that $600 price tag, increase the driver by 20gb every 4 months, that costs only a little bit, and they can continue to charge us money for a system we don't need :D
cute comment.. do u always have enough free time to bash a product which clearly has no concern to you?
on topic: id agree that it is sounding like either a change in hardware that wont be noticeable to the consumer, or perhaps its a larger/smaller drive. Being that Sony just shot down more of the 40gb rumors im not sure i would vote that its a new sku, but who knows.... perhaps they can play on their own words and release a cheaper sku stating "this isnt a price drop, its simply a new package". as always, well have to simply wait n see what it is

I have owned every sony gaming system that they have ever made. PS1 broke a month after I got it, Ps2 broke 3 times. Amazingly enough both my PSP's are still working. I've followed sony and grown to dislike how they handle their console market. I think they've really gotten a grasp on handhelds now, but they have failed in consoles this generation.
How does it not concern me anyway? I'm a person looking for a new system, and am a potential buyer, you know, the people that they CARE about now. Once you buy the system they got you, everything they do now is for people like me who are looking into what system to buy.
Just because I said something negative about the PS3, don't assume that its of no concern to me.
No, your comment was a hate rant, not a constructive comment. You said you were a potential "buyer" but by your rant you obviously are not. You having owned all those Playstations and having broken them all leads me to believe that something you or someone in your home is doing to the machines. I've never had a PS break, or a Sega, or an Atari, so I wonder what the real problem is with your systems, the system or something else. I would suggest for your next system you buy a 360. Then you can be unhappy after that one breaks and you can hate them too.
Launch PS1, Disk drive failed. PS2, Once again, stopped reading disks PS2, Suddenly stopped working PS2, Got bumpped against, didn't actually fall over, but destroyed the disk in it by scratching it and then stopped working with any other disk.
Oh and I WAS a potential buyer. I've been thinking about what to buy for quite a long time, ya know. But I decided that the PS3 is too much for how little it offers. You're just ticked that another person isn't on your side and blindly follows what the company says.

So you think buying an XBOX 360 is a better idea? Need I (or any of the thousands of people) remind you that almost HALF of the XBOX 360's get the RRoD? Microsoft's customer service is WAY worse than SONYs. And SONY is leading the next generation....XBOX didn't have an HDMI port, so Microsoft stole SONY's idea on that one. Microsoft even said they might make a Blu-Ray drive for the 360 in the future...because SONY IS LEADING IN THE HD-NEXT GEN RACE! Maybe not in sales, but they are truly leading in technology.

Yeah.. but... see, they don't charge $80 to repair a $130 device.
And they refused to repair my PS1 back in the days.
Microsoft at least is trying hard to fix it.
GL @ Sep 29th 2007 3:31PM
Holy cow, Kaemon! I think we get the picture. You don't like Sony. Ok, that's fair. But a $399 PS3 is good no matter how you try and spin it.
I think you should get your 360 and stfu! See how simple that was?
Kaemon @ Sep 29th 2007 4:07PM
I love sony.... they've given me great games...
I'm just no fan of their latest tactics. Ya know?
I just keep commenting because other people keep replying. Ha.
JohnQ @ Oct 2nd 2007 12:29AM
You know what, I don't understand why the hell everybody keeps bashing Kaemon when he's being the most reasonable in every one of his comments!
People are saying all sorts of things about him, putting words in his mouth, and telling him to shut up!
Read over Kaemon's comments and the responses he got and tell me who's being the most hateful.
Now I can understand what it would feel like to be attacked by a pack of rabid dogs.
I don't mind fanboys - I just don't like the ones that foam at the mouth.
