Sony has completely ceased shipping PS3 inventory to retailers, even ordering the removal of dummy display units; final orders cease in a few days.
The reason given is “maker circumstances.” Below is their letter to 7-11, leaked via 2ch…
There can be little doubt that Sony is clearing its supply chain in anticipation of a new lineup, which will presumably incorporate the rumoured and nearly orderable PS3 Slim, and presumably an updated base unit (as it seems unlikely the Slim would support much in the way of a price cut).
I love the PS3, when I’ll buy it a few years from now.
Ever hear the expression; “Buy no book under a year old”? Well, I’m like that for video games. Wait a few years, then for the “Entry Level” price you can get the system, a few accessories, and a sh-t load of games.
My fav was the DreamCast…
I literally, for US$100, bought the system, several controllers and those mini-computer cards, and a bunch of incredible games. $100, no kidding. Had a dozen games, and I then spent around $50 getting more over a year…
Got stolen from my apartment…bites… Not that I don’t have more games and might eventually get those back either.
And what I had people were buying for US$1000 total price (games, controllers, console) so I got a good use, even counting the loss by theft…
id rather build a fckn new pc than m$ crappy console. i forgot its name.. whats that console called again.. xboxcrap?
i researched its hardware were s♥♥t thats why its causing RROD so much. i bet if only m$ is not offering a fckn warranty to this lucky bastard…. many of this m$ fanboy would probably flame their m$ site with complains.
its ridiculous how many idiots in this world send their console many times and still luv tha crappy console. LMAO
anyway, id admit that the first xbox’s hardware is alot better than second xbox 260.. 160?? (remind me i forgot its name cos its not worth remembering). i think the original xbox engineer were genious since no problems occured. and i think theyre better engineer than sony’s because sony cant damn fix the problems of ps2 despite of revision. however, i think it got around on this gen console. m$ hired some moronic engineer on their new console xbox360 (i remember it now) and sony hired gud engineers on the ps3.
It seems someone really hates Microsoft. Did they make you butthurt?
D:< Well Goddamnit.
I haven't even come CLOSE to getting a ps3 yet. The damn things are still about £200 ffs.
Oh well, whatever, I don't really care if they're relasing a slim version of that brick.
Would be really pissed if it's not backwards compatible though.
hmph…What does it have that makes it so special??
