You can get a wii, ps3 and video card for less than a wii, ps3 and xbox 360.
Ps3 = £425 Without A Game

Oh, there are several "clues" to be had, if you know where to look.
Betamax
Memory Stick
Minidisc
ATRAC

Also, if you are realy pissed about the price, why not get a money saving tin which cannot be opened and bang £10 a week in for a year or so then you will have more than enough for it...
It's not "future-proof" if HD-DVD becomes the standard and Blu-Ray joins the above formats in Sony-exclusive obscurity.

The one and only
Exactly what you said, GeminiDomino. If Sony didn't have their hand in every single facet of the electronics and media markets, they'd be a sunk ship by now. Now they're in line to ruin their most popular franchise, the Playstation.

Here's a fun fact-
Nintendo, which makes only games and consoles, makes more profit per quarter than Sony, which makes gaming consoles, games, televisions, a record label (Sony/BMG), a movie publisher/studio (something like that), walkmans, cd players etc.

Playstation is definitely a victim of its own success. If it wasn't as successful and market dominating, Playstation didn't have to carry the whole company, that is sinking, alone.iignotus posted on May 21 2006 at 06:16 PM said:
Sony is like MS, Google, and Starbucks that their success is measured by the rapid speed of expansion and market penetration. By definition, they have to keep expand, and one day, like MS is now, they reach to the point where there is no more room to expand. Sony, as an electronics company, is stretched too thin.

Yes, Dec-you are right. They are forcing an unwanted concept on us. Blue Ray may be fantastic (I don't know), but I don't need/want it. I am happy with DVD etc.
But the real point here is that although a couple of of us are saying that it's fine to be so expensive and that they will get one, the majority aren't. And if this carries over to the gaming world at large, then PS3 is doomed. I was gonna get one at launch. Now I don't think I will. I just think they are making a big mistake.
And Nintendo are getting everything right...

Where did Nintendo go all right all of a sudden?

Around the end of SNES days, Ninty's ego was bloated to the size of a whale. After a few smack downs by Sony, now the disease is transfered to Sony, it seems. Also, Iwata and Reggie are very smart-thinking-no-none-sense type execs whereas Yamauchi and Howard Lincoln combo was the model for current Sony's Kutaragi and Phil Harrison team - bullish-I'm-running-you-over-type.Goity posted on May 22 2006 at 08:37 AM said:

The DS is everything at the moment. I just got some new stuff and it is all brilliant!
Nintendo are just making great games. Simple as that! This brain training game is so good. As is Mario Bros and Metroid.
Just great stuff. I only want to play games, not buy new tvs.

The GB carried Nintendo through some hard times, maybe the PSP will carry Sony through this "Blue Ray" thing that they feel is needed for their system.

The PSP that is failing to keep up with the DS...?
But I know that the PSP is doing okay. Just falling behind Ninty in sales etc.
Can anyone explain to me why I need Blue Ray? I have a pet Sting Ray in the shower. It's quite blue. That was a terrible joke. I'm...I'm having a bad day.

Yep, same for me... At least one company who makes another kinda console each time, instead of just making better graphics...

Noooooooooo, It has some improvements though. And yeah, if the controller works as nice as I think it works, the Wii IS revolutionary. There are even topics on other sites which on people have a discussion about: How do you think the controller is used in for example Zelda: TP. But what you said was right about the controllers.
Every Nintendo console has another look and feel. (NGC controller are perfect)
Xbox360 has the same controllers as Xbox, only white and rounder
PS1+PS2 had exactly the same controllers, only PS2 was black PS1 was white or gray (which I think really suck) and now you have the PS3 "Banana" controllers which also look and feel the same.
The best controller of all is ofcourse the good old NES pad cause that one is almost just as unbreakable as a pair of socks
Nintendo is the only company who comes up with something new everytime! That's good accept for the GameBoy's ofcourse cause in that kinda shit Nintendo is just as stupid as the people who buy a GameBoy then a GameBoy Pocket, then a GameBoy Light, then a GameBoy Color, then a GameBoy Advance, then a GameBoy Advance SP, then a Nintendo DS ,then a Nintendo DS Lite and the really stupid (and people who have too much money) also buy a GameBoy Micro.
That's what I have to say

Graphical improvements are all well and good, but Sony have concentrated on them too much.
The Wii will definitely be noticably better graphically than the GC, and wont look much worst than the other two on a normal TV.
Sony have neglected other things. Their decision to stick with the dualshock 2 is a joke. Its a PS1 pad with two analogue sticks slapped on it. They could at least swap the Dpad and left analogue stick around.
