Part of the PS3's price issue is, I think, Sony want's to have all these new wave technoligies now,
Well, it's not just Sony.
Everybody thought the XBox 360 would've had an HD-DVD drive as well, and that certainly would've jacked up the price to the same area that the PS3 is going to be released at.
As it is, I'm not sure how many are going to be willing to shell out later for the add-on or whatever HD-DVD drive that's supposed to one day be available for the XBox 360.
If there's one thing that sets consoles apart from computers, it's that you don't really upgrade consoles. But that's what you're going to have to do with an XBox 360 down the road. Might have to do it with the PS3 still... who knows.

But only AFTER Microsoft had put it with their Xbox 360.
And like I said, didn't Sega have a centralized service long ago?
Point: the idea is NOT original.
It was inevitable for Sony to have such a service, as it will be for Nintendo's shitty named box too, should they ever decide to go online.
Hell, wasn't it months ago that news came out that the once-named Revolution would have the ability to go online and download games to play from previous Nintendo systems?
And how, maybe you'll bother to ask, would they do that unless *gasp* they had a centralized system!?

And I wonder why the rumble was left out...
How about: Sony got sued after they didn't want to play the licensing fees for the company that 'owns' the technology behind rumble game pads.
The same fees Nintendo and Microsoft have to pay.
So, I can't say I blame Sony for dropping it... it probably wasn't worth the cost in the long run. (And as a side note, companies that own these kinds of patents piss me off... these guys are the scum of the earth, alongside class action lawsuit lawyers).
Quite frankly, I could care less that the rumble stuff is gone. I'm all wireless with my game controllers now, both PS2 and PC, and I never use the vibration stuff.
I won't miss it.

It seems clear to me that when Sony finds that something "works well" or is "revolutionzing" or "cool," then they steal the idea for themselves.
Well now, give yourself a cookie. Hell, I feel generous: give yourself three.
And then welcome yourself to Business 101, a world which you probably wouldn't survive, judging on how pissed you are at Sony.
But of course, this brings me back to Microsoft, and good they are at stealing from others... that is, when they can't just force their competition out of business.
And damn Nintendo for finally putting out a game console that was CD based! Damn those bastards for stealing that idea from Sony in the first place! Hell, it only took them about a decade to warm up to the idea. No wonder they lost all their market share.

a new name with a significance. What significance is there in Playstation 3? Pathetic.
That's your best argument?
Yawn.
Last I checked, Playstation 3 is a new name, with a new significance as well.
Your argument is about as ridiculous as saying that Super Nintendo versus Nintendo isn't that significant. Of course, saying that there's no difference between PS2/PS3 and XBox/XBox 360 is pretty damn lame in of itself.
You're really out on a rather thin limb here, Doom.
But hey, if you want go to play with your Wii Wii, go right ahead.
