"Sony is likely dumping the 80GB version because it has failed to meet internal sales projections," Janco Partners' Mike Hickey told GameDaily BIZ. "A recessionary environment will likely punctuate the 80GB version's relative and absolute retail sales disappointment. The recently released 40GB version is getting traction at retail, suggesting backward compatibility takes a backseat to the console's price point for current buyers."
Gary Green said: We have a juxtaposition of 2D and 3D visuals, flashy turn-based combat, quirky anime characters with cheeky dialogue with plenty of partial nudity; Yes, this is a Compile Heart JRPG. Whilst the engine is borrowed from Hyperdimension Neptunia mk2, Mugen Souls is more of a Disgaea spin-off. It’s not a strategy RPG as such, it merely sits within Disgaea’s ever-expanding universe (Multiverse? Netherverse? Your guess is as good as mine). You won’t find cameos though, since Mugen Souls is a franchise which aims to stand on its own two feet.
Huzaifa from eXputer: "2008 was home to the likes of Call of Duty: World at War, Dead Space, GTA 4, Far Cry 2, Left 4 Dead, and many other hits, which is outright remarkable."
While the mainstream media always sees things turning in favor of the hero, here are 6 games that own being a bad guy.
Pretty much all of these games listed are based around a morality system you don't have to be bad and you don't have to be good.
It seems to have left out some real amazing games like red dead redemption 1/2,ass effect and true crime la/ny
Armored Core VI?
Ok, I'm really missing something here. Just beat chapter 3 earlier this evening, unlocked A-rank Arena fights. I'm not seeing or sensing any branching paths or morality system and I've done every side mission and arena fight available to me up to that fight.
Is something big coming soon to branch the story?
No mention of Grand Theft Auto? Saints Row (original trilogy), Manhunt? Also The Suffering (depending on the ending you get).
I've been saying this forever. 120gb HDD would be perfect and battle with he Elite. It makes more sense. Just have the 40 and the 120 and your good. Reduce the Price of the 40gb to 349.99 and the 120 to 449.00 and your solid. Think about it.
The whole HDD thing is absurd. New sku's shouldn't be relegated to how big the hdd is. Everyone has the option of upgrading their own HDD's. Sony should put a 10 or 20 gb "standard" hdd in one call it the ps3 "Core" sell it for 300 bucks and then let everyone "who wants a bigger HDD" buy one. Simple as that.
Solves everyone's problem and cuts down on confusion. I ahve a 250 gb in mine. I'm happy.
The poor sales of the 80gb could be one of the reason why sony is ditching the 80gb ps3. Maybe they are going to release the white ps3 at a price of 399 and then drop the price of the 40gb to 299. The consumer have spoken Sony now know how much the consumer are willing to pay for the ps3 and 399 was the sweet price. So if they release a system for 399 and drop the current 40gb to 299, then i could see another ps3 sale spike.
hmm so does this mean the 40 gig sells more? this could connect to the rumors of the $300 40 gig and if the 40 gig is selling more than the 80 then most people don't care about bc.
i think sony is working on a firmware update for the 40gigs to make them backwards compatible plus it makes sense to make a cheaper console instead of 2 different types it also cuts down on the cost. I said this was on of my predictions of the 2008 and it looks like its half coming true so far with the 80gig no longer gonna be around. If sony goes down to 299 with ps2 backwards compat. You will see a Ps3 bomb go off and you will see a lot of ps3's sold out.
