gj sony.

Further proof that they're totally running out of control at the moment. Everything that comes out about the PS3 right now is just bad news. Seriously doubt all this will add up to anything good.

Oh well, then there's more time for the Wii ~

they recently launched their ps3 site too, a piece of crap with horrible usability...

It all makes me feel sad for sony actually . It feels as if they are not even trying anymore...

I also just heard the ps3 wont ship with proper cables for HD display, so if you want that you have to order an expensive cable seperately..

Well shame for them..

I'm sticking with Wii.

I'm happy with my psp tho

[Pericolos0]

well i just bought a ps2, and have 5 years of games to catch up with .

Maybe in another 5 years I'll get a ps3, when it has become more of a failed console collectors thing, like the dreamcast

Sony should be as ashamed as it is laughable. They're riding on the wave of success the PS1 (warranted) and PS2 (mostly unwarranted) brought them, and the result is they're a joke.

I can't wait to see the numbers of preorders cancelled for this xmas, and the big smiles on Nintendo and Microsoft's faces.

Oh man, seems Sony is in big trouble.

Wii FTW!

It seems the war is between nintendo and ms... who would of ever thaught that? strange how things can work out. Anyway, I predict nintendo will rule the market once again.

Didn't they say after the shambles that was the PSP launch in europe they were going to put real effort into getting the PS3 out on time. :roll:

I was just starting to look forward to the ps3 as well. Ow well Wii soon and another 360 xmas.

[spartan]

Sony just lost Europe.

Will be interesting to see if MS are willing to do some post-christmas price cuts on the 360 come March, to make it even more appealing against the uber-priced, late arriving PS3. They were understandably wanting to keep it as it stands for Christmas, but I think they might be a little more willing to drop a little off afterwards.

Actually I heard at work they just announced a 200 USD package with Ninety Nine Nights in Japan....time to take advantage of the very low number of PS3 units expected for Japan (100,000 against 400,000 for the US)

You don't need a price cut when your comparable models are already $200 cheaper

If it's any consolation (it's not...) all us folks over at SCEE are as gutted as everyone else.

Bet M$ are laughing their asses off at us right now.

Seems like Sony is making the customer their lowest priority, which is a shame because I have really enjoyed my PS2 over the last few years.

Can you pre-order a Wii in the US yet?
