No excuse for those who want a PS3 as a cheap Blu-Ray player.

Not saying this is good news exactly, seeing as DVD really pushed PS2 sales. But at 2 months after launch, & something like a $200 pricedrop, things have looked better.

PS3 is still cheap because PS3 is a Blu-ray player AND next-gen console.
What can beat that!?

Batman.


Chuck Norris, wins.


But, the way I see it. The PS3 is a great " center" of the entertainment center in any house... assumin you have a 1080 screen to boot. But still.

Well, in Canada it was never that way. Ps3 60gb versions were $650, and the 20gb were $600. Many blu-ray players were available for $550 to $600. So, it was always more expensive here.

Still though, as Ginjirou said, its still an amazing deal if you are planning on getting a blu-ray player anyway. Then you are only paying about $50-$100 for the gaming side of a ps3.

Blue is looking good to ' win' over hd-dvd. In the end maybe everybody will be getting a a blue ray player, but by then, I suppose they can be picked up cheaper on some budget model with no stereo sound, and hooked up through some magic mexian airwaves.

Yeah, that statement is always true. You can even seperate the subject and the predicate with a nonsensical comma and it still makes sense. Chuck Norris sense.










He can divide by zero, y' know.

Chuck Norris is like Big George Foreman during his early 90' s comeback. The fighting spirit is there but he hasn' t aged well. Batman however has gotten better with age and i' m betting he' d whip Norris silly...

Gack, my bad dudes. I was wondering why that didn' t look freaking amazing in the stores though.

I' m in a higher caliber of Chuckster discussion here Nitro, come back when you have chuck' s signature on his martial arts book.





No I' m not kidding.

Chuck Norris' tears can cure cancer! Too bad he has never cried.
