GameTraders are already discounting the PS3 and including some free games. apparently you can buy this package at the GO3 Expo 30th March...seems the price cuts are allready stating. It certainly looks like the GO3 Expo is where Sony intends to have it's big show case..... I looked at the media that are attending the show....MTV, Game Trailers, Atomic, Famitsu.....looks like the Who's who list..... looks like Perth is the place to be....

I smell a price cut coming sooner than we may have expected at this rate !! so just hold out and we could be in luck.

They've got over 50 different media companies coming and are expecting tens of thousands of people to come through the doors. Sony might yet make up for this disaster.

You're telling me there's no difference between Sony giving away TVs worth $2000+ and MS coming out with a new limited edition xbox for $80 more than the current premium? How is this even remotely similar? MS is charging more for a new Xbox...Sony is giving away TVs. Yeah...that's real similar... I'm still jealous! LOL!

How much money and time can they withstand? Sony has definately sacrificed gaming this time around to stay on the blu ray side of things, and it isn`t turning out the way they wanted!

Besides, all this talk about the PS3 being a winner in 5 or 10 years is not a good selling point. People care about the "now", they want to enjoy their game consoles now, not in a few years down the road. And presently it's obvious the Wii and 360 seem to provide this need TODAY. No wonder they call this generation of game consoles the Wii60 generation.
