Norm’s Two Cents: SONY, CONGRATS ON THE RIGHT THING!
On August - 19 - 2009
As everyone heard yesterday, Sony had its press conference at GamesCon. With the rumors of Price Cuts and the PS3 Slim in the air once again going in to this press conference, Sony was left with the task once again of either letting us down like at E3 or delivering the great news. Sony delivered, and now, effective right now as we speak, PS3 is only 299.99 and 399.99 for its 80 and 160 gig systems. It didn’t stop there though, Sony announced the HIGHLY rumored PS3 Slim, which will be available September 1st! One word described how I felt when I got home late last night, OVERJOYED! This is a move Sony SHOULD have made during E3, yet, they make it now. I understand why now, because when reports hit out that manufacturing cost were down by 70% for the PS3, Gamers who wanted this gaming system so bad, called for a price drop to happen. Quite possibly even DEMANDING it. This was a smart move by Sony, who decided to put their money where their mouths are. Not only will this get consoles moving out of retailers, but this will also make back A LOT of money that Sony lost in due time. Speaking as someone who works in retail, THANK YOU, speaking as a gamer, OMG THANK YOU SONY. The saving spree, I’m about to go on will be one for the ages to get me a PS3 Slim or 80GB System.

Norm’s Two Cents: I think we’re going to need a bigger harddrive
On August - 13 - 2009
With the release of the new dashboard update for Xbox 360 that has the latest addition of their Games On Demand. It got me thinking, with all of these games they’re going to give us through this, how would we continuously store all these great games!? Being that downloading is pretty much the present and future of not only Music and Movies, but Gaming. I think it would be time for Microsoft to step up and give us another option of a bigger harddrive for our Xbox 360’s. Sure, 120GB is cool until all of the downloads catch up with you, and I’m one person that likes to put nearly EVERY game onto my harddrive to make sure no scratches or hiccups happen.
With games ranging from anywhere between 4GB to 8GB, soon not even the 120GB harddrive will be able to contain all of these games. How to solve this you say? Bring out anywhere between 200-400GB Harddrive, or offer a service where people can send in their harddrives and have them upgraded by Microsoft for a fee. These are ways that the XBOX 360 can not only show the PS3 who’s boss without having the major power under the hood. Being able to upgrade your harddrive on PS3 is one of its biggest pluses, and is one of the easiest things to do. So, Microsoft, Step up your game and give us something worth talking about that isnt avatars or dashboard updates.
