More Sony lies... as usual!

I'm 100% certain we wont be seeing PS3 in Europe before Xmas. People are now like OMG the PS3 is only 6 months away! Which doesn't seem too long, so come November Sony will announce 'sorry, it's not till March 07' and again everyone will be like 6 months!

The 360 has its share of problems, but come on it's not going too be far less powerful, 3 x 3.2GHz is fast! Yet it managed to launch here a whole year and a half earlier. Given M$ fast launch turnaround I wouldn't be surprised if Xbox 1080 is being announced in 2010, and thats just 3 years after PS3, and I bet it'll have twice the PS3 spec!

Sony need to sort it out! Stop trying to get _everything_ into one machine. Instead of paying £400 for a new machine to last me 6 or so years, I'd rather pay £200 now for something a bit less and then £200 in 3 years for something a lot more!

If this bluray delay is the only thing that has pushed the launch back, its concievable that it could delay it further, but I guess they'll do whatever it takes to make it launch before xmas.

Nice to know it'll play all the old stuff, and in hi def.
Having said that though, it'll be a long time before I can afford one.

cmon spong,pull your fingures out,i heard this on bbc radio 1 a few hours ago. FREAKING RADIO 1.

I was really shocked when I first read that article - they seemed to address things that I wanted them to for me to get interested.

And then I reread it. Maybe the quotes are out of context, but aside from the 4th dimension hogwash (the 4th dimension is clearly time, so i guess this means that games will take into account what you've done before now... wait don't they do that already?) wtf does “commerce features that includes bootable software via the hard drive" mean? Are we getting charged everytime we start up bootable software? or does the translation for the 4d/hub come out like "hexbook scythe hardbraid"?

Global launch my arse. The ps3 will be the hot ticket this holiday season, but shortages in any launch strategy will mean that mummy and daddy will buy a rev or a 360 for little timmy on xmas day. Europe is an important territory - although its taken Sony's capitulation that they'll lose two holiday seasons to the 360 before anything happened.


Show me something new, something you've developed or improved significantly enough upon to make it your own. The HUB (at this point in time) does not count. Show me that you care about Europe, to the extent you're willing to take heat about shortages in other territories for us. Give us original IPs.

Don't lie to me about other dimensions, global release dates, hardware specs, emotion engines, prerendered footage, that I need a next gen dvd player or that I will be able to play most of your exciting and interesting launch titles on the 360 or PC prior to launch.

I agree with alexhooren,

All these "lies" are just to slow the momentum of the 360. I'm a Nintendo freak, and I envy the xbox live service (especially arcade). As Sony watch the live service in wonder, they are forced to Play catch up as new ideas and designs emerge. (Remember the PS3 conrol pad - as soon as Ninty revealed its designs, Sony realised their own controller was being laughed at. This is the real delay, waiting to copy competitors designs.

With the sucess of the DS, notice how many PSP are being given away free with certain mobile 'phones, check the Sunday papers.

I've got to go now, rant over. I wonder if the PS3 will be powered by antimatter - to control the jump into the 4th dimension with games being delivered as an intelligent gas....ho hum
