More Video Game Price Gouging
Well Sony announced today that they, like Microsoft with the Premium and Core 360's, will have two SKUs for the PS3. They will have a "Premium" version with a 60gb hard drive, HDMI out, memory stick slots, and wireless b/g and bluetooth. Their "Core" version will not have any of the above mentioned, but will have a 20gb hdd. The kicker, for all those who thought the $299 & $399 Xbox 360's were expensive, you better turn away, because it will cost $499 and $599 respectively for the two versions of PS3. I have never been a fan of Sony or PS3, and I think the price is damn high, but you'd be a dumbass to buy the cheap version. No one will care about memory sticks, but the wireless, HDMI, and the extra 40GB are well worth the extra $100.
On the positive side for Sony, at least they dropped that boomerang controller for a PS2 controller with motion sensing and wireless. Not a lot of original ideas coming from the Sony camp is there? With the exception of HDMI support, I do believe everything else has been covered by MS or Nintendo.

I just read that about a year ago Sony and MS were sued and lost a patent lawsuit with the rumble feature. MS bought paid up and then bought the company so there will be no rumble/force feedback feature whatsoever with the PS3 controller
PS3 = teh suxors
