So they're actually going for a worldwide launch for November? For Japan, USA and Europe? Amazing. I didn't think they had it in them.
The 420 price point sounds like an odd number, it'll probably get rounded down to 400 or up to 450 for the states. But what does the package include? And what the hell "It was designd with the HDD in mind but officially TBA"?
Quote:At the PlayStation Business Briefing 2006, Ken Kutaragi has just added another infamous quote to his belt, this time stating that PS3 games are "live" and that the PS3 concept is "4D".
He claims that games have gone from 8-bit to 16-bit planes, to the "space" that you saw on the PS1/PS2, and now PS3 will be "live".
I understand the meaning of the individual words and it uses proper grammar rules, but other than that this entire statement is meaningless.
Ken Kutaragi is known for saying all kinds of insane things. Such as, that people would be able to "jack into the Matrix" with the PS2. So far I haven't seen anything like that.
At least that's a fully fledged statement. I can actually understand what that means, even if it is a blatant lie. This though, it is gibberish.

And he did not dissapoint this time...
Anyway, Sony will have a hard time being ready for a worldwide launch in November. They need to try, and know that it's important to get something out, especially with Microsoft steadily gaining ground in the West with 360, but still, getting it out there worldwide... at best, it'll have shortages as bad as the 360 has had...
