Not paying 10 bucks for a 2 hour cell phone rail "shooter." I will however pay 20 bucks for Doom Classic in a heatbeat when it launches. If it's half as good as wolfenstein was...I'm sold

Pound for pound. A PS3 is a FAR better deal than an Xbox 360 considering what you get right out of the box. And yes, I own both consoles. Console + Hard drive + wifi + blu ray + online subscription. Add up the retail price for an arcade xbox and get back to me. Minus blu ray of course since microsoft backed the wrong format. Ugh.

In the end, the PS3 doesn't need a price cut. It needs some phenomenal exclusives. And if they have to pull a Microsoft and give incentives (aka money) to obtain them, so be it. It had exclusives in spades last generation and has all but lost them now. Don't get me wrong. They have new and old IP's that are great. But MGS4 and GT5 are really the last two HUGE heavy hitting titles that will sell systems. As much as I love Uncharted and infamous....I don't see them selling systems the way Final Fantasies in the past did or GTA..etc

Good! If it ain't broke....don't fix it!!!

I recently purchased a PS3 last week. There are certain aspects of the NXE I like on my 360. Avatars are cute and party chat is phenominal. However, I can't stand their GUI friends list. I always end up using the guide to see who's on. The XMB works so far for me. It seems to give all the information I need and do it in a timely manner. Being able to add my own wallpaper helps a bit too :)

A 10 year console life cycle is fine if they mean how long the console can be on the market and sell and be supported. If they mean 10 years as their PRIMARY console w/ no newer consoles in that time, they're deluding themselves and are doing this because the PS3 simply hasn't sold to expectation in 5 years so they're extending it to 10 to recoup their losses.

Sorry, but I don't want to be dealing with hardware limitations from 2003-4 in 2013. If they do that then the console manufacturers themselves may end up revitalizing the PC market.

They *can*. But they won't. Remember, a PSP or DS doesn't have to have an entire OS running in the background dealing w/ other processes such as your music playing, checking your email, incoming text messages, incoming calls....etc. All that crap going on while your game is running is going to limit the potential of the device.

Another reason why the iPhone will NEVER have portable games with the production value seen on the DS and PSP is simply because most development teams aren't going to spend millions to make a game on the iphone to charge 9.99 at most. EA might, but then again...the Sims 3 on iphone is a crash fest with no quality control.

iphone gaming is great for quick potato chip fun. But if you're looking for deeper portable games...the DS and PSP are still top tier.
