Final Fantasy VII On PSN In May

Final Fantasy XIII gets an early release date: 7/4/09. You can pick up your order at midnight at your local retailer. I just preordered the collectors edition from Gamestop for 69.99. Quantities are limited so act fast!

Batman1980 · 04-01-2009, 03:35 AM

Tsk tsk tsk, come ON man! It hasn't even been finished yet, no way it'd already be up for pre-order!

Current PlayStation 3 Drops To $299, New Model Announced

Well, that was tricky, Sony. You make us all think the "big announcement" is little more than a PS2 price drop, and then, you wait 24 hours to give us the bombshell. Whatever; we can roll with that!

As of Monday, April 6, the current PlayStation 3 model will drop in price to $299. This is the price cut some analysts have predicted and gamers have requested since the start of 2009, and although Sony has indeed remained insistent that they had "no such plans," the economy may have gotten to them. Either that, or they're just taking the opportunity to give everyone what they want and simultaneously provide us with a new model...an upgrade, as it turns out. This new PS3 model will feature a 160GB hard drive, and - wait for it - the return of backwards compatibility! Well, partially, anyway. They won't be re-implementing that graphics synthesizer chip from the original 60GB PS3 that allowed for almost full b/c for PS2 software. However, they have decided to bring back software emulation, which means that most all of PS1 titles will work on the machine, and "about 80%" of all PS2 software will work, too.

Furthermore, and for a limited time only, this new PS3 model will include a copy of Resistance 2, tossed in for no extra charge. This means the new SKU will come with the 160GB hard drive, Insomniac's brilliant shooter, and backwards compatibility, all for the price we're all currently used to: $399. The PS3 that's sitting on store shelves right now? That will get the $100 price drop, and of course, you won't be getting any extra goodies with it. We have heard that some retailers may do something special for this new PS3 model, too; something about Blu-Ray movie promotions has been mentioned, but there's nothing concrete just yet. We'll let you know.

So anyway, say "thank you," everyone. It's basically what you wanted.

I guess someone had to do it .. Just a tad bit painful, given everyone's hopes for today ...
