it isn't so much the 40gb version that has helped sales it is the reduced price of the console itself that has helped triple sales, it is pretty obvious why the sony marketing guy was sacked a short while back.

plus no decent games for the console. have no idea when GT, GTA and FF?? are out but im sure they will help drastically

the biggest game you missed out there was MGS4 and to be honest that is the only reason i may buy a ps3 for.

oh yea completley forgot that one and yes another big reason to get a PS3 - awesome series

Do you remember at lauch, where cocky SONY said that they thought the launch price was "too cheap"?

We'll I'm pleased to hear some of the SONY guys were forced to fall on their swords.

Good for them that they have FINALLY found the right price point. You would have thought they would have got that RIGHT at launch! If they HAD, then perhaps the blu-ray vs. HD-DVD wars would have been won by BR in round one. As it is, not only did SONY cock up the launch of PS3, they strategically failed to get BR into peoples homes before HD-DVD was ready and sufficiently competitive.

Lauch titles are ALSO important. Because the new PS3 has removed PS2 compatibility chip, I will not get a PS3 until there are sufficient titles for my interest. In the meantime, I think I'll be getting that HD-DVD player... BECAUSE I won't buy TWO BR players... one now and then the PS3 later.

So another feather in camp HD.DVD

well the 80 gig version is only 500 bucks now with a game.

the 40gig version in the uk costs £300 ($600)

That shows you how worthless the U.S. dollar is becoming...

The power of the dollar is around the same as the power of the pound. So for something that is worth a $100 in the US, will worth £100 in the UK, regardless that it is double.

That may be if they buy from here, but the fact is:

100$ = £48.67

yeah its all exchange rates. I dont see how the UK Pound and the Euro goes for more. However, it is evident the dollar has fallen sharply compared to both since Bush came into Office and well, while Clinton was leaving <:)
