Man, that is so unfair. Don't get me wrong, I really don't want a PS3, but come on. This crap needs to end. I'm sick of hearing about "the ONLY system that plays old games." (Heard that somewhere). Bullcrap. Stuff like that ticks me off. Sony, please figure this out in a good, non-gun violence way.

Same here. They all say "OMG GRAFIKS" and plead for one.

Not that I wish bad things for Sony, but I reeeeeeaaaallllyyyy hope these errors wake them up.

Lol, you guys are complaining about how Sony isn't releasing 100GB models to the public? I'm not the only one who finds that petty, am I?

Kas: Ah yes. Before you actually had to read that box and see exactly what hardware the game needed instead of just glancing to see "486, 5 MB HD space" or something similar.

The 100GB PS3's would just be $799 or something. How greedy can you get with HD space for a console anyways?

I'm guessing demo units have to have more space because they generally pack them with tons of demos and/or other media.

Sure, it isn't a good explanation, but at least I tried

There's not a major price diffrence between HD's nowdays, unless you use really small HD's (which might be the case for PS3). I'm waiting for someone to hack the system to use a bigger HD.

Oh, way to go Sony! How much did they spend on copy protection... and one Linux command copies a game directly to your hard disk (built in or external). 6 days from launch and someone's already dumping the games, wow.

Wow, already, sweet, no need to buy a PS3 XD

Serves them right for allowing people to download Nintendo's games through the PSP. Im pretty sure that the hole in GTA was intenctional for people to download roms.

And, some dude out here bought a PS3 and burned it, he filled it with gas and then the fire .

Too bad he didnt recorded a video when doing it .

What is Sony thinking?

30 games per console to get even is probably the most harsh thing I read so far.

Can anything else go wrong with this? I mean, the next logical step would be to hear of a few firings at Sony.

Hey, let's get a list of news reports going regarding the PS3's shortcomings and/or outright failures.

PS3 Disc Drive Fails Out Of The Box
...and so do the controllers
PS3 games backed up just 6 days after launch

30 games must be sold per console for Sony to break even
Top 10 PS3 Complaints - bad video, lacking online support, faulty controllers, etc.

There's a few more on my laptop but I can't be arsed to boot it up just for that. Feel free to correct my titles too.

I found it pretty funny that the PS3 demo we just got in our store froze within 15 seconds of me touching it.

Everyone else was playing it fine (with one or two other exceptions), but when I touched it, insta-freeze.

Attrition out the purchases made by rental stores and the purchases of video games by the user over the full life of the system. It doesn't sound too bad. Gradually dropping production costs and an increasingly larger (at a lower loss) user base means that the number goes down over time.

Seems reasonable to me

Don't touch people hired by Sony then, or else you might put them into coma.
