In a Wednesday press release headlined "Keeping Gaming and Entertainment Simple," the company emphasized out-of-the-box PS3 features such as Blu-ray functionality, built-in Wi-Fi, "huge hard drives," free online gaming and "Ten years of value with a future-proof system via firmware updates that offer new services and features."

A price and feature breakdown by the lowest entry points for each console claimed that the standard 80GB $399 PS3 gets more entertainment bang for the buck than a souped-up Xbox 360 Arcade and a Nintendo Wii.


Driving the point home, the statement read, "The Xbox 360 requiresadditional money, multiple upgrades and additional external devices,putting a burden on the wallet and adds clutter to the entertainmentcenter.
"And the Wii’s lack of enhanced features comes at the expense of a comprehensive entertainment solution.

"So as PS3 continues to evolve without the need foradditional parts or expenses, expect the competition to continuepeddling add-ons in an effort to keep up with the Jones’." [Sony's emphasis.]

With the Consumer Electronics Show kicking off this week in LasVegas, and both Sony and Microsoft presenting keynotes, the statementmay be a precursor to some gaming news.

Asked about the reasoning and timing behind the e-mail blitz, anexternal SCEA rep from PR firm Porter Novelli told Edge over the phone,"We're entering CES, and gaming systems are certainly something thatpeople take a hard look at there. That was the motivation. I'm sureyou'll be seeing announcements from Sony and all of the gaming systems.We thought it would be a good time just to remind everyone of ourstrong offerings."

In the past, Microsoft has held fast to its decision not to includecertain features with Xbox 360, saying the a la carte method givesconsumers more choice. And with over 2 million Nintendo Wiis sold inthe U.S. in November alone, it's fairly clear there is a certain largeaudience that doesn't care too much about the entertainment offeringsof a PS3 or Xbox 360.

趁着CES，SONY发新闻稿老调重弹：PS3有蓝光，有WIFI，有“巨大的硬盘”，有免费网络服务，以及“通过固件升级提供新服务与功能，具有多达10年附加价值的面向未来的主机“。附带一张比较表格证明PS3确实是最超值的主机。

EDGE小编最后点评：米国卖出超过2千万台的WII似乎证明有很多消费者不太在意PS3和360提供的附加娱乐功能。

sony的确是最厚道的。

还10年呢 我买来半年就坏了

PS2用了10年我相信，因为一开始就热卖

PS3？   

10年零1日咋办？

媳妇可以过一辈子，咋还总有人想换呢？

现在才2年零几个月，就混成这样了

剩下那8年怎么办

买来不怎么玩当然能用10年

当BD播放机用，的确能用十年！！！！

事实证明高价外设＋功能单一的入门才是王道定价
