Sony Needs to Wake Up With the PS3

You know, I love my PSP, but Sony needs to get their shit together on a lot of fronts. One of them is the PS3. They didn't show shit at the last E3. Microsoft had playable demos and video of gameplay that, if anything, was below the capacity of the games that will be available at launch. Meanwhile, Sony had a bunch of video that they claimed the PS3 was "theoretically" capable of producing. Then, when Microsoft announced the price of the xbox bundles, Sony pushed pseudo-preorders on sites like Amazon with prices that WILL NOT be realistic when their product hits shelves (whenever that is). And before Microsoft announced their prices, Sony was making statements about how the PS3 would not be cheap ... as if to prepare the market for a $500+ game system. With a BluRay drive promised at launch this thing will not, I repeat, will not be cheap. I'm hearing $500 price tags on the stand-along BluRay players ... so how much will a PS3 will a BluRay drive cost? Anyway, Sony is a kick ass company that creates great products and they are only hurting themselves by not having the confidence to be up front about what the are creating and how they are going to market.

Read the story that got me pissed enough to make this post in the first place.
