My brother got a PS3 the other day. So I'm starting to wonder how in demand they truly are. I am hearing to many stories of people picking them up. Then you can find a few on Ebay that are actually below cost. I mean the system has one game at the moment. I still think its stupid for them to include Talladega Nights with the system but not include component or HDMI cables. Not a good way to show off Blu-Ray to the average consumer IMO.

Well, people always said it was too early to count Sony as the loser just yet; wait untill supply meets demand and then we'll see.... And here we are.

Its not stupid really. The money is in the accessories(and software). So manufactures will NEVER include upgraded cables in their hardware. The profit margin on that stuff is like 80-90%. Its cost a few bucks to make and they sell it for 30-70 or even 100 bucks. As long as they make a killing on accessories never in your life expect upgaded cables to come with your hardware. Espcially with SOny, since they need to make up some of that loss they are suffering for each sale of a PS3.

Look ar nintendo for example, i suspect they make 25 bucks for every component cable they sell at 29.00. Hell they make adout 40 for selling wiis at 249.00. Do the math, nintendo is making a killing on the cables. Thats why they rather you buy from their online store so they dont have to share any profit with retailers.

No kidding. We need to get King Admin to invade IGN and rough them up a little bit.

Doesn't the 360 Pro bundle come with higher quality cables?

darknight06 · « **Reply #1182 on:** December 25, 2006, 02:25:24 PM »

360 premium I do believe comes with component cables.

segagamer12 · « **Reply #1183 on:** December 25, 2006, 07:26:37 PM »

nope my friend has one and it came with the regular cables.

Then, quite simply, your friend was completely ripped ff. The XBOX 360 Premium (White Box) has a set of Component HD Cables inside, while still offering standard def as well. Best of both world...making me wonder even more why the hell the Core exists....

I just want to take this time to restate how crappy the DualShock controller is. I HATE IT.

Smash_Brother · « **Reply #1186 on:** December 26, 2006, 08:33:08 AM »

I've always hated the dual shock. Easily the most uncomfortable controller I've ever held and I own a Jaguar.

Hocotate · « **Reply #1187 on:** December 26, 2006, 11:36:29 AM »

Yes, DualShock IS the WORST controller ever.... Through the years of owning a PSX and PS2 I am still not used to it. I eventually said forget it and bought a Saturn pad for it. The Sega Saturn pad is my second fav to the N64 so it was a win there.

I still haven't memorized the locations of the shapes sony stupidly used on the button faces.

Kairon · « **Reply #1189 on:** December 26, 2006, 12:47:28 PM »

This puzzles me... there are many people out there and many gaming sites that SWEAR by the dual shock... WHAT GIVES?!?!?!

My least favorite part is the joystiq. They're SO high (this is my only complaint about the Wii's classic controller too) they're nearly impossible to use. It's easier to use the d-pad for most games.

IceCold · « **Reply #1191 on:** December 26, 2006, 05:49:38 PM »

I hate the Dual Shock with a passion. I've already ranted about it, but here I go again. It's simply the worst designed controller ever, from the horrible design in general, which is anti-ergonomic, to the too-smooth, too-high, too-loose umbrella-mushroom analogue sticks in the non-dominant position, to that damn split D-pad which kills the fingers, to the awkward front shoulder buttons, to those bloody shapes on the buttons with poor response, to the SERECT button.

Stupid Sony.

Ghisy · « **Reply #1192 on:** December 27, 2006, 12:24:17 AM »

I do agree that the Dual Shock has a terrible d-pad (why don't we split it? wtf Sony?!)
But I got used to it, it's not the worst pad ever for me, it's just ok.

So I heard Sony might be delaying their Europe launch to September?

QFT

Also I have no real love for the Dual Shock. Especially the Symbols instead of Letters. Thats a different side of the brain there Sony. I know why they split the D-Pad was to get around patents and the like.

Now htats how you have a sucessful WorldWide launch... once again Sony setting the stardard and putting the expectation bar at the highest level.

segagamer12 · « **Reply #1197 on:** December 27, 2006, 06:37:39 AM »

Didnt see this post anywhere but it affects Sony, Ea has Canceled NBA Live 07 for Ps3. Just read it in Game Informer, maybe old news I am not sure.

Requiem · « **Reply #1198 on:** December 27, 2006, 07:40:05 AM »

Damn........

I thought it would take a year or two to predict who's going to win it all, but I already know PS3 has no chance at #1. Now it's Wii vs. 360...

NinGurl69 *huggles · « **Reply #1199 on:** December 27, 2006, 07:50:55 AM »
