This probably mean a circa-$200 price for the US.

Tizen · Sep 20, 2006, 08:23 AM

Most games also cost sub 20$, the 360 sells for about ~200$... So... Yea... No sub 200$ price for the US IMO.

I would say.. November if I were to guess, lot's going on with Sony that MS would like to dull down in any way possible.

In other news, damnit.. I knew I should not have bought the remote.

Its already said that this thing is coming to America in December. Japan's getting it early because MSFT is still trying to court her. America? Naw, he's married us already, he doesn't need to do anymore work to get our pussy

It's an ok marriage we have though..

Very different from the odd.. and oft times unfortunate relationship gamers will undoubtedly have with the PS3.

I view it sort of like...

Son-ee: Me love you long time!

US-Gai: Uh.. OK!

Son-ee: *Gets greencard*

Us-Gai: Baby?

Son-ee: *speeding off in car*

US-Gai: Fool me once...

Oh great. The last thing I need is all the games going to HD format with another 170 down the drain. Damn it to hell this HD/Bluray BS Sony and M$ are trying to win, at our expense!!!!

Dreamcast DVD add-on? No, I don't think anyone remembers that...

Lol, talk about "me too." The Playstation line of consoles are the biggest spinoff of old technologies/features ever.

ah i remember, it was the Dreamcast NUON or whatever lol

and about Playstation being "mii too" not really....since its an actual console with enough BALLS to include a REAL next gen media drive standard......and a standard harddrive as well...and full backwards compat (no half assed emulator trash)...and not merely a 1.5 upgrade to rape its fanbase just because its predecessor console was such a failure

chew · Sep 20, 2006, 10:48 PM

why do they get it first?

Enough balls? I think its more like steroids if anything (shrunken balls, enlarged ego).

As for the rest, I won't go into detail. I think everyone's tired of hearing you already and I won't encourage you to keep going.
