Everyone But Sony Saw This Coming ...

Post by WRXWagon2112 »

... and now they've finally admitted it:

PS3 is officially delayed

Interesting how the DRM is the cause. Looks like DRM is bad for business in more ways than one.

Yep, sucks too because I'm a PSx fanboy. I wouldn't be caught dead with a XBox.

It's not like there are Blu-ray burners available to the public yet... but I suppose the worry is when they do become available.

Good choice putting $4,000 rims on your 1990 Honda Civic. That's like Betty White going out and getting her tits done.

Sony was trying to do to the X360 what they did to the Dreamcast: use marketing money to smokescreen the fact that Sony doesnt have next-gen hardware available.

it worked against the DC, mostly because at the time Sony wasn't a root kit installing bastard of a company and was basking in the glow of the excellent PS1. this time? not so much.

^^^^ :notcool: :poke:

I really think that the Cell processor is a move in the right direction. The problem will be getting the developers to use it properly. It's already been said that the 360 is easier to develop for, so before Sony puts out the PS3, they REALLY need to get their SDK up to speed.
