Plunging player prices to reveal Blu-ray vs HD DVD winner?

Blue Ray is already Winning

Judging by sales in the States and Europe. Blue Ray is already leading in sales. Blue Ray meets the capacity needs of the Gamer and of Theater watcher. Blue Ray player already cost £199 , HD DVD having to give away films to get you to buy it. If true though that customers are confused. But this time Betamax is goner win. Microsoft are clever and foolish at the same time. Xbox 360 has a usb HD DVD but could have a Blue Ray later if needed. Again Microsoft are taking the backwards step. This isnt having ago at people yes, HD DVD and Blue Ray Media, does cost more than it should. But its the quality of audio, capacity and content that will end the war. At the moment a major film studio decided to go with on HD DVD and now is working on a dual splatter, one side Blue Ray and the other HD DVD. Because of dripping Sales. Lets be honest Blue Ray sounds better , right down to the packaging.

iPhone 'killers' stand up and be counted

There is no Iphone Killer in existence !!!

The Iphone is a marvel, the quality of the device is second to none. The display is large. The Operating System is the Best enviroment for any phone. Silly whinging about it not having 3G, is nonsense , or issues with it being locked down. Too many people abuse devices for there own benefit, if dont want to use O2 then you wont get an Iphone simple. Itunes pc/mac connectivity is easy to use unlike alot mp3 are quite the opposite. The iphone is designed to do on what it says on the can.

Its guarante any one who get a demo of an Iphone will buy it. Its the phone other manufacturers will have to follow....

Sony's 40GB PS3 for Europe confirmed

Sony are back in the Game

Sony are rolling the there Dice now...double Sixes, yes.

PS2 Compatible who cares why buy a next gen console to play none next gen games. Memory Cards you dont need them, USB Support 2 over 4 ah well. The price is right 299, I know that Gamestation are selling this with 2 games. Ive heard alot of people complaining (these are microsoft users pretending to be Sony UserS)..about the machine and differences between USA and UK, lets be on honest most manufacturers rip off the Europe. Look at Microsoft with Vista and 360, Because of weak members of pariliment and in EU that is why we get ripped off. This is an excellent Buy, if you have 60GB model I would suggest selling it, and then buy this model and have change left over to buy tons of games...Hurry up and bring in the Rumbled Joystick...

Italian website names 40GB PS3 price

Low Cost Ps3 Thank You

Reality has come to Sony, hopefully the new 40GB will be under 250 mark, this will push sales ,regardless of halo 3 or the wii

Hint of next PS3 spied on web

About Time....

I used to have Xbox 360, but the red lights problem made me give it up. I want a PS3, but the pricing is a real issue. Sony have a excellent product, and if they could release a model for around 179 to max 259 , with a game. Would make me wanna buy it, Xbox 360 is still tempting me with Halo 3, but why by a console for one game. I will wait for Halo 3 to come out on the PC

Sony shakes up PS3 controller market

Sony have Lost there Way

Sony PSP was brought out as multi media device not games machine

Sony PS3 was brought out as a Overpriced Games Console

Now the one the most important features of the PS3 Rumbling Joystick wont be released until 2008 to Europe. I want to buy PS3, this would of helped me make the choice. I had Xbox 1 and I went out and brought a S Pad because it made the machine feel more real. I am really sad that Sony is losing its way in Europe....Maybe we will be saying something else at the end 2008

Total world Wii sales close in on Xbox 360 tally

Windows XP Console Slowly Dies

I had Xbox 360 console, online it is impressive but it WII or PS3 or even DS. Gameplay on the Xbox 360 is very dire, lots of PC/PS3 Ports. But why isnt Xbox Live Free, Why some many games on 360 just ports. Halo is excellent, but it isnt WII Sports, It isnt Shadow of Colussus or Daxter on the PSP. Microsoft Hardware is poor, I bought mine and got the three reds lights or it locked. Xbox consoles are the only consoles I know that lock when you are playing. I played Halo 1 and thought this is excellent this is reason to get this console, I got a WII , WOW , Unbelieveable, easy but next gen without the next gen fuss. played motorstorm on PS3 and Heavenly Sword (yes its not released), that is what console gaming is about, gameplay and if you are luckly great graphics added to it. Microsoft is a one game show boat, look at Crackdown sales only driven by the halo 3 beta, a Beta for a Console Game, nuts and lazy programming. Microsoft hurry up and leave, you are boring the industry...

Second-generation Sony PSP unveiled

Sony has Lost the Plot

Wheres the Touch Screen, the Better Analog Joystick, the redesign. Sony havnt got a clue at the moment. Look at the PS3 its overpriced, Song PSP loading times are to long, the joystick is naff. Nintendo redesigned the DS and look at the sexy beast now. Sony must be in deep trouble

Sony's 80GB PS3 pic points to rumble-ready controller

Europe !!!

Again Sony in its stupidity has forgotton Europe. Lets take Jim Hendrix, he didnt start off well in US he went to Europe to sort himself out and went back a King. Sony should do the same...Sony Execs start listening. Europe wants this Console...Get the price right, and Microsoft will disappear as quickly has the Master Chief can shoot.

Five things Sony needs to do save the PS3

Dreamcast Again

Why are the Sony Execs trying to destory this great company. This is the easiest thing to fix, drop the price. Forget online rubbish, the Xbox 360 is sold as a Online box because a lot of the single player games are too short and just rubbish or just plain copies of other games. Look at GT rip off Forza. Playstation 3 is more powerful than its 3 Red Light Buddy. Maybe the UK goverment should by Sony and show them how its done...It cant get any worse. Bill Gates must be nerdying all the way to the bank...for now !!

I believe that Sony are gonna drop the price for December to damage or destory its XP buddy.

'Partial nudity' said to hinder M-rated Halo 2 release

Halo 2

Halo 2 is an excellent Multiplayer, the Single Player isnt as excellent or perfect as the first. But halo 2 should of been release when XP was launched, The sad true that the best version of Halo ports is the MAC version. Smooth no need to upgrade the O/S. Microsoft should of release this sooner and on a standard platform. It will sell, unfortunatly

Sony announces 80GB PS3

Trains, Planes and PS3

I went onto Ebay, and posted a wanted a PS3 at £310 including delivery, I got loads of responses. Why do we have always pay more in Europe. The sad truth is , we pay more in this country because manufacturing think they can get away with it. But this time...its backfired. Sony needs to get this excellent piece hardware into peoples homes. How you may ask... They have too lower the price of the console under £300 mark, and include a game or two and they have to do this before 2008. Microsoft have only really two games that sell the Xbox , Halo and Forza nothing else. The PS3 ports seem to be more fluid than its Windows XP counterpart. The CEO of Sony needs to listen to the market before the rot sets in. Im a punter who wants a PS3. I wont by it at the price released I will wait until December like most. I thought the Xbox 360 Premium was expensive on release and still is, so why would any buy PS3 for £400 and not buy a PC or 2 excellent Nintendo WII (if you can find any). Sony needs to sort itself out and its such an easy thing to fix... Maybe Sony should offer me job....
