Microsoft will follow suit. They'd be crazy not to with the upcoming holiday season.

They'd give up the lead if they were to do that, as their lead over the PS3 has been slowly slimming since last year, i believe.

They already have deal of getting a free 360 when buying a pc. I don't know why they'll even bother lowering the price. After all, I don't like xbl.

Uh...what?

I believe they will still follow anyhow, if not then they will most likely get dominated by Sony in holiday which would be bad for Microsoft.

You can probably expect a price drop (for the 36) this holiday season. I'd say:

$150 for the 4 GB arcade model (down from $200)
$225 for the 250 GB slim model (down from $299)

I don't know how significant this $50 price drop for the PS3 is, I read that a lot of people were hoping for a $100 one. We'll just have to wait and see the sales early next year I guess. Sony and Microsoft are battling it out for your dollar while Nintendo is prepping for the Wii U launch next year.

The $150 for the 4 gig sounds more reasonable than the $225.

I expect to see $50 from each with possible bundles.

Ha! I found it very interesting that The Vita actually surpasses the PS3 in terms of RAM.

Acoording to that the Vita has 512MB of RAM and 128MB of V-RAM, as opposed to the PS3's which has 256MB of system RAM and 256MB of video RAM.

It sounds like The Wii and the 3DS to me, but does the Xbox 360 actually support a feature?

In this day and age, why are me not seeing more than a gig of ram?
I want to know this as well. This is pathetic. How are they going to keep up with technology as it grows with such little amounts? I built a 1,200 dollar computer and it has 16gigs of ram. A new console that's 300~500 (Wii-u is what I'm aiming at) or even 250 or 200 should have at least 1Gig of ram.

/Sadface.

^ It wouldn't be a 100 or so more dollars, tbh. The Graphics cards the ps3/360 have, plus the processor they had at the time, was well over what you payed for the systems. 3.2gig processors back when those systems came out were pretty expensive, and their graphics cards rival today's good ones still.

It wouldn't up the price too much, and besides bro.

1 stick on 4Gig ram is like 40 bucks. 500MB seems a bit low, you think? :/

^ They could put 2Gig of ram in very cheap. They get deals because they buy in bulk. What is 45 to us is like 15 to them probably.

Are all the PS3 games compatible with PS2 controllers? I've been trying to play BA 2K11 and NFS: Hot Pursuit with it and it doesn't seem to work but I can't tell if it's just the controller or the game :/

I guess it could be counter-productive to use PS2 controllers with the PS3 but I have to PS2 adapters that have 2 ports on each of them. Which could come in use on multiplayer games...

Hm, I think you would have a better shot getting that question answered on say, the gamefaqs PS3 board of said games board.

Started playing Demon's Souls again. I'm getting my *** kicked.

Every game I've used works just fine. Then again what Accessory are you using the hook the PS2 to the PS3? The I use usually takes a moment to register before I can use the PS2 controller without problems. Usually if you try to use it right away the controller won't register and you won't be able to move or get off the PS screen.

What accessory are you using? Apparantly the one I use doesn't register my PS2 controller properly, sometimes not at all, even when it's pluged with a PS1/PS2 game, also, the rumble feature is quite different, at least from the I used but for the most part I never use it because my adapter well.....sucks.

I use the PS2 controller port made from Pelican. To function properly you hook it up and attach the PS2 cord to it then press the "PS" button on the accessory. It flashes green for 5 seconds. Once it stops flashing the light disappears then once the green light becomes solid you can use it without problems.

Oh, so I'm guessing the adapter itself has a PS button to control the on screen menu? It sounds more convinient, the one I have is simply a converter and is just that; a converter, it doesn't have anything special, but if that always works then maybe I should try it.

It's a zombie survival game, like L4D, if that's what you're trying to say.

Depends on your definition of VR. That thing still has micro screens built in. VR to me is I can put myself in the game. If you remember the Johnny Quest that aired on Toonami, they had some VR system where they were actual characters in the system. If you don't know what I'm talking about, think like the show Reboot. The guys are in the game.

This is simply a luxurious item. It's cool to have, but not practical.

Haha.

Seems Sony was slow on the uptake in this idea, but they followed Nintendo.


Yet again.

Wow, that article impressed, so...I'm guessing Sony might make 3D specific titles just for it to take advantage of this??
