Rumor (denied): Big Bang Announcement from Sony October 12th - Page 2 - Blu-ray Forum

Blu · 10-01-2007, 03:36 PM

Is it SCEI making an announcement? What are the chances this announcement has nothing to do with thier gaming division? Everything I have seen says, "Sony" and not a specific sub set of thier company.

Any chances it could be a BDA announcement or something else?

Maybe it will be a new promotion.

Get free bacon with every BLU-ray purchase. mmmm bacon

i really hope a price drop. This will do good for BD sales.
or if not
"Firmware 2.0 support Profile 1.1" announcement.
either way, it can increase BD sales

Well it is an American website, I'm assuming that they just insinuated SCEA. You could be right but chances are it's SCEA.

bdp-s500 to retail at 399, bdp-s300 cut to 299. both players will support 1.1 and both include the spiderman trilogy

that would be some good news. or a buy a sony 1080p tv of a 1999 value or higher and get a free ps3 or bdp-s300/

Rike255 · 10-01-2007, 04:03 PM

Wow, and you know what, with Sony making 2.8 Billion USD on their recent IPO that money can go a LONG way to ofset the cost of the PS3. By the way Sony has stated that the 2.8 billion in it's entirety is going to further fund Sony projects Bravia TV and the playstation consoles.

Maybe, with all this new money, this announcement will be much bigger then I'm even hoping for!

this also would mean there are more people to embarrass me when I play online.

LOL I was thinking the exact same. It's all about ME and only ME. Who cares if the PS3 sells better as long as I'm happy.

...wtf is wrong with people these days.

sj001 · 10-01-2007, 06:02 PM

no its true. I like the refference to ogre from revenge of the nerds. awesome. although we're all nerds at heart for being here right now.

NUUUURRRDDDDDSSSS!!

any good news will be exciting. I just hope its something that is relevant to current ps3 owners as well as new ones.

Wheelman1970 · 10-01-2007, 07:08 PM

Maybe Sony's as pissed off about Transformers being HDDVD exclusive (as a lot od us) and they're buying Paramount?

That would be sa-weet!

And impossible. Lol. I can't imagine it is HOME because they just announced next year right?

399$ price drop W/ wireless is key imo.

well pesce/pollotarian means you abandoned most of meats (except chicken/fish). Veggie, yes of course everybody eat that (although I don't like some of them)

anyway, we're getting off topic

blu-rayfan101 · 10-01-2007, 08:29 PM

Seems right on but least we have sources and not a new member saying this like the Warner Rumor.

Amon37 · 10-01-2007, 10:02 PM

If it's from SCEA I doubt it will be a BD annoucement. If it's from Sony then who knows, but I think it's going to be the new 399 40GB PS3.
