Finally Sony gives a release date !!!

Well I only have a few comments about what was announced:

1) The release date doesn't really surprize me cause it's near the holiday season and all. That period helps to develop demand. But a worldwide launch ? Hard to say if they'll actually be able to do so.

2) No price announced ! Now THAT worries me !!! They gave all the technical info about the console, but no price tag ??? The announcement of a competitive price would have been THE announcement to actually keep the ps3 fans waiting and in the same time give an elbow hit to M$ (you know, get the competition going!)... But they didn't. Therefore my only guess is that the machine will NOT be cheap. It'll probably be more expensive than the 360. Especially if Sony can't allow themselves to lose A LOT of money on each console sold.

3) The online service capabilities of PS3 seems it was just added (recently) to compete with the XBL service... Hummm... how awkward... If they didn't actually think about the thing from the beginning, it might end up being a rushed out service. And THAT is not good news!


In the end, I guess we'll just have to see what happens...
