Comment Re:Sony should lower the price of PS2 to $99 (Score 1) 551
I agree that it would serve Sony in some way to lower prices to compete with the new xbox. Others with more knowledge about how this market actually works will be able to speak more to this point. But I don't think that the average consumer even knows what a rootkit is... I doubt the average consumer could even tell you what DRM is. That said, I don't think sony has to figure the rootkit backlash into their corporate strategy in terms of pricing of the ps2...
One other thought about Sony lowering the prices of the ps2 to compete with xbox: after all the people that didn't already own ps2s get them this holiday season, are they going to want to shell out even more money for the ps3 when it comes to town? Perhaps if they lowered the price of the psp, disuade people from purchasing the 360 in the first place, they would still be more willing to purchase the ps3.
