That is when I might jump on board with a PS3 (well most likely sometime next year as I will have no time to play another system). It wouldn't shock me if the price drops to $499 and stores offer a free game or second controller (authorized through Sony). Sony Really needs this X-mas to be somewhat successful. They don't have to win but they do need to sell a similar amount of systems with the other two. If they fall behind another 2-4 million they will never catch up IMO. This doesn't mean that they will not sell 50 million plus systems, just they won't be first. I am hoping for a $499 80gb with the new rumble controller.

The high price hasnt kept the children away neither. But if I was to make a bet I would say it will be at 500 when its all said and done.

Probably strip away Motorstorm. Might add something to the current motorstorm bundle like iFlash was saying. I think the rumble controller is just waiting for games and it wont be announced till it's about to ship. It's only common sense really. No point in saying something better is coming to wait. I'm just hoping that it's the touchsense rumble. I'm sure it is since Immersion kinda let that leak already. But at least with that they can say this isn't last gen rumble. I wouldn't expect Getaway any time soon really. I think (could be wrong) London studio is mainly on Home right now with help from Tokyo. Probably be a next fall game.

I also see a rumbling controller already being used by the developers of haze. IN THIS VIDEO: http://www.gametrailers.com/player/21382.html My theory - Also posted on Kotaku a while back --- Right before the controller is blurred, he walks up and says 9:42 in: "so this is Alex...." - The angriest coder at free radical -- as he is walking up, the controller is black and looks like a PS3 controller. Edit: When Placed down, the controller runs on the desk to his arm. They seem to be hiding something else about that controller... Note: (All the producers from Ubisoft that play the game use a PS3 controller…3:29 in: but when he drops the controller it makes loud sound…not as loud as I would expect a PS3 controller to make, at least not the current one.) Edit: Could just be me hearing things.. The last Blur… at 10:51 the remove the blur for a split second and it again looks like a PS3 controller. I am going to have to say something is different with that controller and the rumble rumors are very plausible.

They were on sale for $450 at Gamestop and still are now on the website even with as few as been manufactured because nobody will buy them. Leaving out an HDD wouldn't work since it has to come pre-installed with the OS and many games don't give the option for HDD cache use. I have less then 18 gigs left on my 60 gig right now....I guess I'll have to upgrade myself. Sony can’t give away the 20 gig version.
