2 things Sony needs to do to the PS3 before I'll consider buying one: bring back backwards compatibility, and lower the price point to ~$199-$250. - JaxSean Jan 6, 06:21 7
- doubt you'll see it come back - but how many of those 30+ do you actually play? - decline Jan 6, 06:24 3
  - Probably 10 or so. But boxing up my PS2 means I won't be able to play any of them. And HD for DLC for stuff like Rock Band? - JaxSean Jan 6, 06:29 2
    - the ps3 has a 40gb or 80gb drive. I've got the 40 and have not even come close to using it up - decline Jan 6, 06:31 1
      - I meant if they dropped the price to $199 and did NOT include a HD, like the xBox. -- nm - JaxSean Jan 6, 06:39
- i'd be very doubtful about backwards compatibility ever coming back...nm - x Jan 6, 06:23 2
  - It really should have been priority though. When you have the best selling console ever, the replacement really should be able to play the old games. -- nm - Inigo Jan 6, 06:30
  - *polishes his modded 60GB PS3 evilly.* -- nm - budice Jan 6, 06:25

- it's hell expensive. cool yes! -- nm - Sheep Jan 6, 06:12
Those of you who live in the MD/DC area: I am looking for day-trip location suggestions. I really haven't been all that many places since I moved here - kelly Jan 6, 06:03 28
- strip club -- nm - budice Jan 6, 06:27 3
  - NOT in DC. Those suck horribly. - JaxSean Jan 6, 06:30
  - *cues WiiFit music* - oblique Jan 6, 06:28 1
    - *shakes fist* -- nm - kelly Jan 6, 06:29
- landbeck has a couple of places in MD that he likes. I'll see if I can find the email. -- nm - loosilu Jan 6, 06:24
- [deleted]
- As long as you have the cash, I think the best place to visit in the winter is the Inner Harbor. - Inigo Jan 6, 06:22
- and in the spring when their season starts, you really need to go to the bengies drive in up by baltimore -- nm - prayformojo Jan 6, 06:17
- The Art musuems are fun, American History, the Chantilly Air and Space (also has an IMAX) - MDH Jan 6, 06:11
- harper's ferry is kinda cool - really nice drive out there (esp in fall), but can be a little crowded. -- nm - prayformojo Jan 6, 06:09 3
  - hmm, I'm only 25 minutes or so from HF - that might be something different. -- nm - kelly Jan 6, 06:17
  - An even longer trip, but the Shenandoah Valley is good. -- nm - Inigo Jan 6, 06:14 1
    - ~ Oh Shenandoah, I long to see you... ~ -- nm - TFox Jan 6, 06:21
- Everything DH said and then I'd like to go to Arlington Nat'l Cemetary. National Gallery of Art etc... - Diva Jan 6, 06:07
- Spy Museum! - Strongbad Jan 6, 06:06 8
  - And you have to be in the right frame of mind before going, but the Holocaust museum was very moving. -- nm - Strongbad Jan 6, 06:07 7
    - I've been there before - once was definitely enough. - kelly Jan 6, 06:08 6
      - did you see my mailbox? -- nm - loosilu Jan 6, 06:23 5
        
        er, in the Spy Museum. -- nm - loosilu Jan 6, 06:24 4
        
        I haven't been to Spy. I was referring to Holocaust. :) -- nm - kelly Jan 6, 06:25 3
        
        Spy is excellent. (and my mailbox is in it, for real) -- nm - loosilu Jan 6, 06:26 2
        
        I know! :) - kelly Jan 6, 06:28 1
        
        oh right. duh. Also, for pretty neighborhoods, you could try Georgetown and Old Town. -- nm - loosilu Jan 6, 06:28
- Which museums have you been to in DC? Start there, imo. -- nm - Inigo Jan 6, 06:05 2
  - I've been to: Holocaust, Air & Space, the Freer art gallery (I think that was what it was called), Natural History. -- nm - kelly Jan 6, 06:10 1
    - ok, you need to do American History and National Gallery. -- nm - loosilu Jan 6, 06:26
- Annapolis, especially on a nice sunny day. Inner harbor. Philly. Smithsonian museum tour. -- nm - Don Homer Jan 6, 06:05 1
  - and west of philly to Lancaster and amish country -- nm - decline Jan 6, 06:20
InigoNews: WiiSports becomes the number one selling video game of all time, surpassing Super Mario Bros. (NES). (link) -- (link) - JaxSean Jan 6, 05:44 2
- Yes, both we're packaged with their systems. Calling it the #1 selling game is rather shaky. -- nm - Don Homer Jan 6, 05:48 1
  - It's dubious. However, WiiSports has close to a 45% attach rate in Japan and South Korea. - Inigo Jan 6, 05:55

Microsoft announces 28 million XBox360s sold to retailers. That's 8 million more than the PS3. -- (link) - Inigo Jan 6, 05:26 28
- i really wish sony were doing better than microsoft, but they just can't manage it..nm - x Jan 6, 05:30 27
  - If they dropped the price $100, I'd probably buy one today. -- nm - Shaun Jan 6, 05:39 26
    - sure. but it's exactly that poor price point that was one of the primary manifestations of their mismanagement this cycle.... - x Jan 6, 05:42 7
      - Their mismanagement also hurts them song long-term going into the next generation since a PS won't be the first choice of many people like it had been - Don Homer Jan 6, 05:47 6
        
        **ding** - Strongbad Jan 6, 05:50
        
        def.the case in the us. i think they can still save europe and asia + elsewhere with better management....nm - x Jan 6, 05:49 4
        
        of course this should be "north america". sorry canadians!....nm - x Jan 6, 05:59
        
        They need to crank out God of War 3 with a sexy bundle and a sweet price cut, and soon. -- nm - Shaun Jan 6, 05:53 2
        
        That with FF13 would've made me strongly consider it. - Strongbad Jan 6, 06:03
        
        I agree with sh*uncumber. -- nm - JaxSean Jan 6, 05:58
    - I have no reason to now that FF13 is coming to 360. -- nm - Strongbad Jan 6, 05:42 2
      - It'll be like 8 discs :) -- nm - Shaun Jan 6, 05:43 1
        
        Hope so! -- nm - Strongbad Jan 6, 05:46
    - I don't think Sony can afford to do that. As a company, they need to decrease their losses, not add to them. -- nm - Inigo Jan 6, 05:42 14
      - But now that they've cut production costs to where they're just about breaking even, they need to sell the units to sell the software. -- (link) - JaxSean Jan 6, 05:46 7
        
        Imo, Isuppli is a joke. That's the same site that showed both the XBox360 and Wii having negative sales in 2011 and 2012. - Inigo Jan 6, 05:51 6
        
        My problem is even if they come down to the $299 price point, that's too much. - JaxSean Jan 6, 05:57 5
        
        $299 for an 80GB PS3 would sell that thing like mad. -- nm - Shaun Jan 6, 05:58 4
        
        Eh. At this point the brand name damage has been done. It needs a price cut, sure, but that won't magically start selling it better. -- nm - Don Homer Jan 6, 06:01 1
        
        Sure it would. Just like the time they cut the price in the summer(?) last year. -- nm - Shaun Jan 6, 06:04
        
        how much is that one now? $499? -- nm - JaxSean Jan 6, 05:58 1
        
        399$...nm - x Jan 6, 06:00
      - i don't think sony can afford not to cut the price.... - x Jan 6, 05:44 4
        
        Honestly, I think if the hardware costs had come down that much, they would have cut the price in November. - Inigo Jan 6, 05:48 3
        
        totally disagree. these are different quarters, which makes it a different proposition. they had promised shareholders a lot.... - x Jan 6, 05:53 2
        
        But wouldn't the net effect for the quarter be that Sony has lost more money than the previous quarter? - Inigo Jan 6, 06:01 1
        
        it's a bad choice either way. but they simply can't continue to lose market share in the console space imo. that's the real bottom line... - x Jan 6, 06:13
      - I'm not even accounting for their point of view. I'm just saying :) -- nm - Shaun Jan 6, 05:42
