Sony's damage control has begun.... too little, too late to the party? We'll see... I wonder what happens if you own a 20GB and it "breaks down" under warranty? Do you get a 60GB version as a replacement? hehe

If you take out BluRay, none of the games would work.

take out the blue ray and make it 200.

well i'd not buy it when its the same price in euros as it is in dollars... if not more... thats like a 33% markup on the price

The games don't need blue ray. Put them back on DVD. :p

1 Euro = 1.3345 U.S. dollars

so if something costs â‚¬500 in europe and costs $500 in the US, the people in europe are getting majorly ripped off (â‚¬500 is about $660)

I'm still waiting on the price to either drop or some better games come out (though if/when GT5 hits the shelf, I'll probably drop the cash unless it gets reallbad reviews)
