Because after the price cut, I'd be able to get it for free (not telling how) and I'll be laughing in your faces while I play RIDDDGEEE RACCEEERS and attacking the centre ofcrabs FOR MASSSIVEE DAMMAGGEE.

And I'd be selling them black market... Sony wins. >_>

No fifa... oh.. the horrible pain. Eh, all the FIFA games suck, they're all the same: if you've played one, you've played them all. I dont know why so many people buy them ¬¬

I dont see why sports games get so much credit either: the only decent sport game I have ever played was mario football, ahem.

The PS3 Lite will hit shelves soon alongside it's $499.99 and $599.99 cousins. Sony Propagandist Phil Harrison spoke on the differences, "we took out a couple features we felt those on a budget would be able to live without. We left in only the most important stuff, such as Blu-ray, backwards compatibility, and PSP-to-PS3 functionality."

The PS3L will be compatible with PS1 and PS2 games, although PS3 game capabilities were removed. "We had to make a decision between the games and the blu-ray," spoke Phil, "and chose based on our companies priorities. We're gamers here, and that's why each PS3 Lite will come with a free copy of the Silent Hill movie on Blu-Ray."

The PS3 Lite will retail for 449 US Dollars.
You know it'll happen...

In the words of Queen: "Wii will rock you." The reason I am getting it over the XBox 360 + the PS3, is price.

^Thats interesting... still, 10,000 PS3s, what a hefty bill. Is it just me, or are sonys consoles usually better suited to other things rather than actual gaming..?

I wonder if the wii could save lifes? ^-^;

It's probably going to be close between 360 and the Wii. The PS3 is pointless.

Ok, so that article did sway me a bit when I saw that a week or two ago Bignads, but I already donate my spare cycles to SETI on my PC. On a console however, I see a problem with distributed computing. Running this somewhat experimental cell processor, I doubt it's a good idea to have that sucker running at full capacity at all times of the day. The thought that it could do this WHILE playing a game is pretty ludicrous. It would lead to definite problems, as if the programming wasn't hard enough already for developers. Frankly though I think they're just blowing smoke here, looking for news coverage. If they do this, I'll send Bignads $10.
