And...System Wars Bets and Official Hype threads killed this board. It inspired dislike, disdain, and a lack of respect for other systems and their games. The big releases came out toward the end of the year and all we heard was...Awwww did you lose a bet; awwwwww too bad all your games flopped....awwwww complete your bet and leave or hit the wall of shame; pfffffffft GS must be biased for giving a score that high/low.

Lets just mock each other until we cant stand to read what anyone says.

Aren't Rare and MS the reasons why Goldeneye wont come to the VC?

Nice. Now I don't have to buy a PS3. I'll save myself 200 bucks. Impex

It would be doubly sweet if Wal Mart puts them on sale similar to the $100 HD DVD player they sold in November.

[QUOTE="gromit007"]If this is true, then why does the cheapest set-top BR player cost $400? Stand alone BR players should be a LOT cheaper than a PS3.-Renegade

It's because they have to make money off them.

They also need an install base. If the PS3 costs $400 to make and you strip out EVERYTHING but the BR player from it you have a very cheap to produce product. Either the story is BS or Sony's licensing fees are keeping players at an artificially high price in order to create demand for a product not a lot of people want...the PS3.
