Exactly... it ends when Sony ends. Or at least, when the PS3 ends.

I normally wouldn't care about all this bad news, but due to Sony's arrogence in the last 6-12 months i couldn't be happier. (I LOATHE ARROGENCE)

It's time they ate humble pie.

By the way, is there even a remote chance that all this could be fake?
(ie. dodgy processors, law suits, etc.)
An evil plan to catch everyone off guard?

Actually I think the Snowball IS Sony and thats why its trouble if it melts.

This all really seems like to much Coincidence for my liking.
I have to say the license in question should be valid if it was good in the time of use but I haven't read about that particular problem.  
10-20% Yields.  In this day and age that's terrible.  I mean 50% I could beleive because of new processes and it being a new ship but 10-20 blah...  They are definitely losing money on every PS3 sold.   Which is funny considering the price.
Where did the rumor come from with the fake screens and like?
You know the Snowball could be crushing towns and destroying peoples lifes.

I was from a supposedly *insider* chat conversation that mentioned that Sony was pleadiing with 3rd parties to come up with trailers for games that they weren't neccessarily making yet (or at all) just to show that the PS3 has many games in the pipeline and that more are coming soon.

Its kinda wierd that some of the BIG games that were at TGS(?) for PS3 never showed up at E3 and I don't really remember anybody mentioning anything about them.
But as far as the authenticity of the chat log.... it could be and possibly is BS, but I guess you never really know.

Don't fret. I come bearing good news for Sony:

Unlike Microsoft's or Nintendo's controller, the PS3 controller will come with a built-in internal battery.

See? All is not lost!

it is good news, I think VG meant, that while the batteries are a good idea, it isnt enough to cancel out the $600 price tag,and wont lead to Sony being on top again.

Nope. You pay extra for a rechargable battery pack (and USB cable for the X360 to charge and/or play it) to put in there. It is said to last 30 hours on a full charge. (meaning Nintendo's actually last long)

Otherwise you're using AA batteries for your wireless X360 controller.

I hadn't seen this mentioned in this thread, yet. (Which I think is a better place.)  If you have the article Requiem it be appreciated.  Wow.  Sony just can't catch a break.  I'm sure Nintendo is having problems of there own but dang.

The yields for Blu-ray laser diodes are still low due to a high technical barrier, with only Sony and Nichia being the only suppliers, stated the paper. In addition, Sony is setting aside a major proportion of its laser diode capacity for its upcoming PS3, which may also affect the availability of its Blu-ray laser diodes, the paper said.

"Stories of the defective Blu-ray Drives" = Hard to find Diode? o.O

Edit:
Ok.  That makes since.  There really isn't a "tight supply" of them for Sony but for the open market.  Looks like Sony will fill there demand first and everyone elses demand second.  Which makes sense.

Well I was paraphrasing what I had heard, and that was that the production of BRD drives were low due to technical problems (i.e. low yielding or defective parts). Its a good thing that Sony is hording them for themselves but since there are the only ones making diodes for PS3 I'm gonna bet that they aren't gonna make the production quota that they have set for themselves, < 6 million by march

between the PSP's battery life and the sparkling innovation controller, I assume we can expect the jaw-dropping battery life of 3-6 hours...

Just to start the week off right for PS3, supposedly THQ has cancelled its Smackdown vs Raw for PS3 and has decided to concentrate on the PS2, PSP & Xbox 360 versions only.

This could be due to when the game is going to be released vs when the system is going to be released or it could just be the beginning of a trend towards PS3 development.

Looks like someone(coughTHQcough) is having troubles programming for the cell architecture.
Supposedly porting from Xbox360 and/or PC to PS3 is extremely difficult and terribly expensive.

I know we all discussed aong time ago about how Sony and MS could be making their machines very different on purpose for the sake of having "default" exclusive games because they would be too hard too port, but who thought it would come back to bite Sony in the ass?
