I'm not sure if you anyone know's this yet or not....but I was listening to IGNs PS3 podcast "Beyond", and heard them mention that a 160gig PS3 with Uncharted and DualShock3 controller would be bundled for retail toward the end of this year for a price tag of I think $450. Sounds awesome, but I wonder if it's backwards compatable or not. Still that is a massive hard drive...too bad I already own a PS3.

It's a 40 GB model with 4 times the HDD space. That's it.

Why care about hard drive space on the PS3? You can just drop in a regular PC hard drive of your choice, right?

Yes, you can put in any laptop SATA hard drive. So this new one is just a waste of money. It's annoying how sony keeps putting out new versions of the ps3 and psp that don't add anything significantly new. The only perfect model is the 60 gb ps3, and if you do have a 60 gb model you better pray it lasts because it's not even in production anymore. There's two 80 gb models, one with all the features (backwards compatibility, memory card readers), and one without. I don't know how you can tell if it has all the features or not if you were to attempt to buy one in stores. Honestly, this is why Sony isn't doing so well sales wise in the US. They announce a new model every month, at every press conference, and it's too much for the average joe gamer to take in. Not only that, every new model just comes with less features.

The PSP-3000 is coming out a year after the PSP-2000, and yet there's still no changes that I give a shit about. I'm willing to wager money that next year a new PSP with a second analog stick will come out. Because Sony can't be that retarded, they know people want a second analog stick.

I was watching an interview with some PR guy at sony talking about the PSP 3000 and he made it seem like sony was going to release a new PSP model every so often. That's a good way to piss off consumers that have bought older versions.

Yeah, it is a big part of what killed Sega.

SEGA-CD IS AWESOME!!!! But wait.. SEGA-CD Model 2 is AWESOMER! GET A GENESIS 2! NO, Get a GENESIS 3! KERBLAM! GET A 32X with your Genesis 1, 2, 3, and Sega CD! Let Sega use all the electrical outlets in your house! Actually, ya know what. Scratch all that, here's the Saturn. We'll just keep all the good games in Japan and you guys can enjoy Daytona. Actually, guys, we were just kidding here's the Dreamcast. Hello? Wait, you guys left? Well, who the fuck is going to buy the Dreamcast then?! God dammit.***everyone goes and buys a ps2***

Is history repeating itself?

It's a shame too. The Dreamcast was awesome.

You know how when we were kids, sometimes the teacher would call you up to do a problem on the board, and it was just really bad timing, and you would have a boner and it was really embarrassing?

Well, that would happen to Break sometimes, too, and he was always thinking about Japanese Saturn games or the Dreamcast when it happened. Seriously.
