80-GB PS3 will really turn sales around

ps3_80gb_spy.jpg

Eureka! I've figured out why Sony's PlayStation 3 isn't doing that well! There's just not an expensive enough model out there. Yep, the $600 version with a 60-GB hard drive simply doesn't pack enough punch for John Q. Videogame. What the general public's really waiting for is an even more expensive version of the console, with 20 extra gigabytes of storage. Yep, those Sony execs really have their finger on the pulse of the videogame-buying public.

So it looks like the new, bigger, badder version of the PS3 is on its way. Just check out that picture above. Sure, it might be a Photoshop, but the rumors have been flying hot and heavy lately, what with the euthanizing of the 20-GB model, so it might just be legit. No word on when Sony will start putting out good games for the system, but by the time they do there should be plenty of very expensive consoles available to play them with.

i am really sick of people dogging ps3 like its nuthing. i have played halo for 360 its good. i have played resistance on ps3 they are on par with each other. for that person to say when sony makes good games for the ps3 another better console will be out is just wrong. i have a ps3 i know it has potential. people who just see it and look at the price because they cant afford it will talk crap about it. thats be bottom line. im not dissin 360 i like the xbox its all about gaming to me. as long as the games are fun im in. but dont bash a system til u have tried it.

Man, I've been dissing PC's for a long time now. I never thought it would come to the point where I might have to start praising them over the gamer console. You have to have a bachelors degree to track all the different requirments to operate it. I don't know, it's starting to seem like upgrading my computer will be cheaper than buying a PS3. Besides, it seems many of the newer games are arriving on PC before the console anyhow. Look at Command & Conquer for instance.
