Clips: Tretton Talks PS3 Price Drop
At least Jack Tretton knew what his company was doing. I do think that the price cut makes a lot of sense for Sony right now, and the idea of an even larger hard drive for a PS3 is great, though I think it would be neat if Sony also came out with a new hard drive or perhaps a kit to help you upgrade your PS3 yourself.
The larger hard drive fits in well with what Peter Dille and I spoke about at Sony's last Gamer's Day, the way the company has decided to redefine what a game purchased through their online store will be like.
I was just talking to my brother about the fact that for Sony, online games don't have to be small and quick to play, they can be robust, they can be episodic and they can be, if they feel like it, those smaller Xbox Live Arcade titles. That's because of the console's much larger hard drive. Of course my brother said he'd still not like to fill up a 60GB with large games. But maybe he, and those like him, wouldn't feel the same about an 80GB.
I think Sony's Online Gambit could very well be the start of some really great things for the PS3. And I hope to see a lot more interesting PSN titles at E3. Good job Sony, good job.
