Official PlayStation 3 Thread

Only discs are affected. You will be able to play pirated bluray rips over component with no trouble at all.
All is well.

160GB PS3s are now $249.99, while 320GB are $299.99 per Gamescom

My $599.99 darling keeps on trucking.

Same here. If mine breaks I will just get it repaired.

This is the first time the PS3 has been cheaper than the real 360.

Just saw on the internets that NFL Sunday Ticket is coming to the PS3, even if you don't have DirecTV.

$340 (lol).

[Yoshi]

Wow. That was a rollercoaster from...

YES!!!

to

WHAT!?!

I wonder if that's a price if you buy each of 17 weeks individually for $20. Surely the season package isn't that much. The MLB and NHL ones are ~$150, and that's for 162 and 82 games per team, respectively, not 16.

Sony should subsidize this, as that could be a crazy system seller... potentially more than any game.

edit: Nope, the $340 is indeed the season price. Fuck off with that shit.

edit2: Apparently that's how much idiots with DirecTV pay too. Holy shit.

My brother buys Sunday Ticket every year on DirecTV and that price seems about right. I always thought he was crazy for paying it.

[Diff-chan]

Seems right... compared to DirecTV, or seems about right in terms of value?

I think it's bonkers. Yes sometimes I get stuck with some awful bullshit because of my region, but that doesn't annoy me $340.

I doubt the NFL/DirecTV would allow it.

[Yoshi]

I hate the way the NFL is run. Fuck their deal with EA and especially this deal with DirecTV.

[Timber]

Compared to DirecTV. I'd never pay that much for it. It might be a little higher on PS3 but I know it told me it was around $300 for him this year.

Of course if you're signing up for DirecTV around this time of the year they'll include it in most packages for the first year then hit you will that huge bill a year later if you want to keep it.

The price has gone up a lot over the years. I remember getting it back in the late 90's when it had only been around a few years and splitting it with my Dad & younger brother and it was always under $150 total.

As always the fan lose. I guess I will just watch random NFL games on network TV, don't care to pay that much for 4 months of entertainment.
