I don't know why you keep saying that- it's simply not true.

The Wiimote is thought out just fine. You are a minority moaner, in all honesty. You are describing irritations that really not many people have.

The most likely explanation is that you did hit a button and didn't notice, simple as that.

Oh geez 😂 .. crazy wiimote thing..

anywho.. I wonder how retarded I'm going to look trying to do turbo sparks / snaking in mario kart with the Wii Wheel... -,-

I guess so.

You pissed him off.

BTW Who has seen the latest Killzone 2 trailer?

I must say it looked great, but IMO it didn't look as sharp as the first trailer. I've never played Killzone...does it have any unique abilities? Or is it just an average shooter? All I saw was the guy shoot...no melees, no grenades, no vehicles, no rolling, no slow-mo, no physics etc.

By the way I'm not hating on it. I'm just curious and want to know if it offers anything special besides the eye-candy.

no clue, but they do have time to put the final touches on it, its releasing 2008

Think of Call of Duty, but with Pelicans from Halo.

That about sums up Killzone.

After recently announcing that Sony was going to give a price cut to the PS3....

E3: No more 60GB PlayStation 3 in US after July, says Reeves

'All they're doing is taking their stock and marking the price down'

SCEE president David Reeves has told GamesIndustry.biz that the 60GB PlayStation 3 will no longer be available in the US after stock sells out - which he predicts will occur by the end of the month.

Reeves was speaking at an E3 event to announce the introduction of a new PS3 bundle in Europe. When asked about possible criticisms over whether SCEE should have given consumers the option to pay a lower price, as SCEA has done, he replied, "Well, they're not really are they, because what the US are offering from the 1st of August is a USD 599 version with one game.

"All they're doing is taking their stock in trade that they've got at the moment of the 60GB model, marking the price down and it will all be gone by the end of July."

When asked to clarify if this will mean the end of the 60GB model, Reeves answered, "In America, yes."

SCEA announced a USD 100 price cut for PlayStation 3 earlier this week. A new 80GB model will come bundled with a copy of Motorstorm and will retail for USD 599.

The full interview with Reeves is now on GamesIndustry.biz.

wow...

So in other words it's not actually a price cut, but a liquidation sale.

Wow, they are getting a bit desperate.

It's just creating consumer confusion.

People still think that they can find a PS3 20 GB for $499.99.

Now this happens....some people are going for a wild ride.

So, if I want to buy an PS3 two months from now, whats versions can I get?

I'm confused also.

40 and 80 i think

but im not sure

So wait, it's not actually a price cut, they're just trying to shift the 60GB units out so that 80GB ones can rot on the shelves?

They should have dropped more than $100 if they wanted to do that.

I've seen better marketing moves....

It honestly depends. You won't be able to find a 20GB one anymore as I think most stores sent theirs back a while ago. Obviously you'd be able to get the 80GB one. Whether or not there's any 60GB ones still available just will depend on how they sell.

Why are they releasing a PS3 with a hard drive smaller than the elite, but still $130 more? 🙄

You figure they would take this chance to release the 121 gig drive. lol

So basically, once the 60GB PS3 sells out, they wont make anymore and it will only be the 80GB one?

If thats the case, thats ****ing retarded. I told a guy at work today who was thinking of picking up an PS3 eventually (for FF13) and was happy that it was going down in price. I told him that they're stopping the 60GB version and just selling the 80GB (that was my understanding). He just looked at me, and said, " What the ****". He was pissed. I wouldnt be supraised if alot of other people got just as mad.

ye the ps3 is probably worth half than how good it actually is. i havent got it but seen how they seem to be robbing the general public of hard earnt money im really losing faith in the usually reliable Playstation makers. maybe xbox360 is fo me then. ❌ ❌ 😒 😒

Certainly seems that way.

It's just not selling well enough. I mean, that's why the 20GB was discontinued. I really didn't think Sony was going to do an actual price drop so early, and apparently I was correct.

I understand the 20GB being let go. It make sense.

But this is way to much. Watching the 1UP show, and they're all talking about how Sony did really well during its press conference on making themselves seem more human compared to before.

The funny thing is that the none of the 1UP guys said anything about this. This shows that Sony are assholes.

"Sony dropped the price of the PS3.....but it only affects the 60GB version, but guess what? We wont be making them anymore after July, but dont worry we have alot in stock to meet the demands of consumers who want the price drop, but afterwards, your shit out of luck because we're only selling an 80GB one" That sure sounds like old typical Sony bullshit.
