November 17th, the PS3 hits home. It's going to be a do-or-die thing, and it's looking die right now.

I would have thought Sony would've waited till later to reveal the PS3 price, but I guess they wanted to ruin the whole week for themselves. Guess what? It's expensive. Damn expensive. Wow Sony, you're dead. Should I just shut up and give you the news? Okay.

PS3 with 20GB Hard Drive - $500
PS3 with 60GB Hard Drive - $600 freaking dollars

I know that since it costs around $1000 to make, $500-600 seems cheap, but ask yourself if you're willing to pay $600 for a console. I didn't think so. Gee, Sony, why'd you have to kill yourselves with Blu-Ray. Not only did you kill the PS3, but you killed your high-def DVD format too.
At least there's some good news in it for the PS3. The controller's been updated:
It now has "6 degrees of motion sensing movement". Yes, they stole from Nintendo. It's going to be like a dimmed down Wii controller. Could help them a bit. It's still the boomerang though. And I just can't get around that. Literally.
Also, they showed off a bunch of PS3 games with some great graphics, but they could have been prerendered. Can't get them off of the net just yet sadly. They introduced Gran Turismo for PS3, Need For Speed Carbon, and quite a few others that I'm very excited about. More on the games in a short while though.
Not that it matters as the PS3 is dead in the water with that heavy price tag.
