I don't have an HDTV, but I have faith that my PS3 will EVOLVE my current 1988 TV into an HDTV with it's amazing power.

I have an HDTV and I still think the PS3's value is a load of crap since I don't want a buggy bluray player that I will never buy DVDs for.

Amen to that. Blu-Ray is absolute Sh!t. Forget this DRM crap, I am sick of the MPAA and the RIAA controlling our media, and it pisses me off even more that Sony is trying to profit with it. Screw them and their rootkits and all their DRM BS. I choose DVI and whatever hi-def disk eventually comes out that is unencrypted.

Aside from that, the only travesty in price is the Wiimote+Nunchuk at $60. Unacceptable. The $250 price tag is still very reasonable, but the controller combo needs to go for $50 in a packaged form at the most, if Nintendo doesn't get this they are blind.

Not to get into a totally different arguement, but I fixed that statement for you.

*They* create the media (the music, the movies, the games) and they own it as long as the copyright holds.  Remember, when you buy a copy of a game, movie or music, you aren't buying the rights to do whatever the heck you wish with it... it's still their media.

No, you buy the medium but you don't buy the duplication rights to the material held on that medium. What DRM does is lock down the medium in a way that prevents you from doing things that copyright does not restrict and extends corporate powers into areas not intended or even expressly excluded by the law.

It's going off of today's inflation so the Wii on that chart would be *drum roll* $250, just like the PS3 is $500/$600.


Lol thank you. I just stared blankly at that post, my eyes not believing what I was reading.

Where did I get it?
I dunno! Did you ever try looking at the image's address? BECAUSE IT WILL TELL YOU!

would be a perfect time to buy the stock now.. whoever dropped it probably thinks that the (relatively) high price will cause it to sell less at launch. They obviously don't know much about the gaming industry; the Wii will still sell out and the stocks will soar at launch time..

I think the 5% drop in stock is just the re-alignment of investor expectations with reality, as opposed to how run-away hype was driving it a little higher beforehand.

I sold all my stock when they delayed TP last year out of the holiday season (just before the DS really took off), I would've doubled my money if I'd held on.

Couldn't have said it better. DRM is an excuse to take away what is rightfully yours.

Which used to be solved by breaking copy protection schemes (which is always doable, in the end), but then they made that illegal too.
