And it will happen....



''I almost wish the holiday season was here now '' ...

with or before Singstar, and Singstar is supposed to have a music download service with it. This is the big announcement.

Some of your speculations are retarded. Sony most probably won't drop $100. Probably around $50 if they do. We know Sony right? Not 100% in one direction, but 50% in all directions until they get a feel for it and then pedal to the metal when its the green light. HD-DVD addon? Are you serious? Blu-ray is Sony's codec. It's their golden child. Why introduce a competitors format. That's like selling big macs at a Burger King or Microsoft letting Bungie studios sell Halo 3 for the Wii.

What Does seem possible is the release of the Dual Shock 3 in the US market. It's already available in Japan, and usually our market isn't far off in release dates afterwards. It's not incredible technology--it's a controller that rumbles. They would be the ones to make a big deal out of it though. There isn't much to modify on it either. It's already said to work on the US SKU. I'm looking at my controller right now and there is no imprinted plastic text anywhere, so it's a simple graphics redesign of the japanese hardware. It's basically silver paint and a sticker on the back. As far as the circuit board its going to be the same hardware universally. I personally haven't opened mine up but i'm guessing it's got Nihongo printed all over the place. I'm not going to cry about it. Overall, those are the two likely "big bang" announcements.

and hides the fact to the customers like their over 33% failure rates of the xbot before launch.....which just rip you off with $500.00
