With the specs Sony put out at E3, the PS3 will cost considerably more than Xbox 360 to make. Especially given all the connectivity ports and blue-ray..."The issue is there are still many people out there that use religion as a crutch for bigotry and hate. Like Ben."

I bet they'll offer one like we saw at E3, for $499/$399.
A trimmed down one for $299..."The issue is there are still many people out there that use religion as a crutch for bigotry and hate. Like Ben."

That would be even worse, IMO; if they are wanting to push Blu-Ray into American households, then in my opinion they need to put it into every Playstation; otherwise, few people will fork out the extra 200 bucks for something they don't view themselves as needing.Comment

I think MS just screwed with their plan.
Their original plan was to offer a game console for $299, and a media-center-plus-game-console for $399/$499 (ala the "PSX" in Japan last year).
MS is including that standard in their $299 console...
I bet Sony ain't pleased right now."The issue is there are still many people out there that use religion as a crutch for bigotry and hate. Like Ben."

I wonder what will be necessary to get 5.1+ surround on the 360. With the Xbox right now, you have to buy an optic cable and the HDTV AV Pack, which I did only to learn my DVD player/receiver didnt have an optic port
I get sound through all my speakers, but supposedly it is not true 5.1

I still think MS should introduce it at $249. Get as many Live customers as possible shelling out a tenner or whatever every month. Get as many potential software buyers as possible out there.

That's rather superficial. You'd not buy a superior product because you don't like the name. Come on...
But yes, I hate Skateboarding and all those other "extreme" sports that much."You're the biggest user of hindsight that I've ever known. Your favorite team, in any sport, is the one that just won. If you were a woman, you'd likely be a slut." - Slowwhand, to Imran

I very much doubt they'll intentionally take a huge loss on the next generation console as well. They've made huge inroads, they don't need to lose as much now."The issue is there are still many people out there that use religion as a crutch for bigotry and hate. Like Ben."

If they're losing money at a $250 price point this time around, then they have a failed design anyway.I very much doubt they'll intentionally take a huge loss on the next generation console as well.

Nonsense, the price will come down over time. It's normal to lose money on the console in the first year or two.
This time they own all of the IP (blueprints) for the chips. They can consolidate them on the 65nm process to save money, like Sony did with the PStwo, for instance."The issue is there are still many people out there that use religion as a crutch for bigotry and hate. Like Ben."

Microsoft has God's pockets. Sony has shallow pockets. Sony is coming in with an inherently costlier system. Microsoft needs to keep up the pressure, which a $250 price point would do.I came upon a barroom full of bad Salon pictures in which men with hats on the backs of their heads were wolfing food from a counter.

Another Nintendo "2nd party" bites the dust.
"Too Human" has been hyped for years by the Gamecube fans, at least on the IGN forums. It was supposedly going to be one of the killer apps on Gamecube.Too Human's 360 Trilogy

The next step for former Nintendo 2nd party Silicon Knights has been revealed in the latest issue of Electronic Gaming Monthly. The company is currently working with Microsoft on turning the futuristic world of Too Human into a next-generation trilogy on Xbox 360.
Too Human is a project the studio has been kicking around for years. Originally announced as an original PlayStation game, Silicon Knights has kept a lid on the idea ever since, though the game has appeared several times since, most recently as a GameCube title.
Silicon Knights previously announced a publishing partnership with Sega, but this announcement confirms the deal covers another game in development at the studio.
Stay tuned to 1UP.com for more details on the planned Too Human trilogy following Microsoft's official announcement.
Now it'll be an Xbox 360 Trilogy.
