A price drop for the Playstation 2? That's it? That's the "big announcement"?
To be fair, did Sony claim first that this was a big announcement, or was it just IGN and other websites hyping things up? If this announcement just got blown out of proportion, it's not really Sony's fault that it's underwhelming, but if they were the ones drumming up that hype they've made another(minor) misstep.
Most of the people who play video games more than say, five hours a week, probably already have a PS2, or may have decided to go without one. A price drop *might* make some people pick one up again to play some of their older games that don't work on their particular model of Playstation 3, or it might convince some of the people who've been saying "Screw PS2." for the last 9 years, but I don't think the spike in sales will last too long.
Sony should let people assemble their own bundles. Pick 1 or 2 titles from a selection of good games(God of War, and Ratchet and Clank for example) to go along with your new system for $10 or $20 less than what you'd pay seperately.
It couldn't hurt, could it?
What I'd really like to hear more about is the rumored 2.70 firmware update for the PS3. If and when this happens the service will at least be somewhat comparable to Xbox Live, and still free. They'd still have a long way to go and no chance of having Netflix anytime soon, but at least PSN would be taking steps in the right direction.
Ryu Ga Gotoku 3(Yakuza 3) has sold pretty well in Japan, but how is the full game? Has anyone played it? I love the demo. There are only a few fights(not a complaint, it's a demo), but they're fun. The arcade has some new games in it to mess around with. I'm sure the full game does not disappoint. If you've played it out know someone who has, please post about it.
If you have an iPhone or iPod Touch and you haven't done it already, you should really check this game out. The game is free, and there are over 150 free songs to play.
My Chun-Li Fight Pad was making cracking noises when I played, so I got another one. It's been about two weeks and now *it's* starting to make the same noises, too. MarkMan may have helped design the pad, but MadCatz mass produced it, and they screwed up. I was so happy with this product initially. Now I kind of feel like the D-Pad is just going to pop up when I'm playing one day and hit me in the face. Logitech is probably the one brand who hasn't let me down when it comes to third party products.
Multiplayer for Dead Rising 2? Sweet.
