Wow this thing is ugly....IGN play tests the PSX, sorta.

[Haris]

Idiotic casual gamers will think it's a completely new system. And being a revered Playstation, they'll cop it.

I'll laugh at them. It will drop in price once Sony notices their idiots for putting it that high.

May even drop faster than N-Gage.

If they want to launch something like this sack of crap, shouldn't they have waited a bit so that it will play PS3 games? I mean, let's say you shell out the $900 for one of these piles of crap, just for Sony to turn around and launch PS3 afterward. Tada, presto! You are now playing on antiquated gaming hardware, playing an out-dated, expired gaming line-up. No new game can be now be played on your expensive hardware. How many people can afford to spend almost a thousand bucks for this thing?

Ding-ding-ding. You've hit upon Sony's all-encompassing business strategy: Sell horribly overpriced crap, get idiot to buy it, and then release a suped-up version of aforementioned crap with a jacked up price. Rinse. Repeat.

[speed stick]

That is neat, but the price is way too high. It must also have controller ports for playing games. I could not see them.

[Dahg]

I have no desire for that whatsoever. I want to play games, not record shit.

[Dorbin]

If I wanted to record stuff, I'd just buy a Tivo or something. I'm not into the set-top box thing.

[Peter]

I was thinking it didnt look too shabby, but then I saw the $900 price tag. Fcuk that with a capital F. Sky Plus or Tivo would suit me better

[ScratchedAt]

Fcuk with a capital F. Maybe it could have a capital D...

Just thinking outside the box... which, in this case, the box sucks. Put it out, as a matter of fact, make thousands, hundreds of thousands...and millions...

And then! Most of them WONT sell...BYE BYE Sony...

Ha..what a dream..

[Dorbin]

If only we lived in a world where that was possible.

Instead, Sony will still somehow make a killing on these, preying upon the ignorance and stupidity of others.

[Haris]

Sony? Going under? That's about as possible as Bowser growing a penis.

[Viper]

What really trips me out is didn't Sony just report a huge frikkin loss and lay off thousands and now they want to release this $900.00 POS and expect to make a profit?

Sales in the games division fell 37 percent and operating profits plunged 91 percent

Sony's anticipated restructuring will include a cut of about 10 percent in its global work force of 161,000 and an end to domestic production of bulky cathode ray tube TVs as the company focuses on slimmer, flat-screen models, media reports have said.

[Dorbin]

It's only the execs that want to make a profit...they'll pocket the money and hoard it, and then cite a loss of revenue and then lay off more workers. The corporate cycle is vicious.
