How do some of these people have jobs? Consumers don't want lower prices? That's a big fucking piece of garbage. Consumers ALWAYS want lower prices. |

I was only joking when I said in a previous post that Sony would fart out another $600 playstation. But, I guess Sony has spoken. The next playstation will be $600. __________________Member of the Nintendo Offensive Front. "Um... I don't think anyone really cares about the Wii any more." -- Evil Avatar |

In related news, Sony has stated in a press release that they don't actually want my money. __________________Quote:

Nothing in that statement said "consumers don't want lower prices." Did anyone here actually read it? He said (paraphrasing) consumers are tired of convoluted pricing schemes -- which is true. Just look at the bullshit that has been going on lately with all the different versions of games (i'm looking at you AC3 and Dishonored) and retailer exclusives. Its absolutely stupid to have to look at different stores and the gift card refunds, and other deals they use to try to get people in the door, as well as 4 different models of a goddamn console, just to figure out where to buy it and which one to buy. If anyone actually read what was said, the guy is completely correct. How Yahoo and the people here read that and got "customers don't want price drops" is beyond me. None of this is meant to defend Sony -- i think they're insane for not going with a price drop for the holidays to compete with MS and Nintendo, but that's another issue entirely. |

Sony, please stop talking to the press. All you do is make an ass of yourself. The new release at the same price rubbed EVERYONE the wrong way. __________________PSN & Steam: shadow763 XBOX Live: clearedmoss Twitter |

What does any of that have to do with consumers not wanting the price of "last years model" to drop? Nothing, so the only logical conclusion someone can draw is that he's using the consumers aversion to convoluted price drop schemes to draw the conclusion that it's the price drops they don't like, not the convoluted-ness of it all. |

I LOVE Sony. I have a Sony TV, a Sony receiver, a Sony camera, a Sony camcorder, a Sony alarm clock, a PS3, a PS2, a Vita, a PSP, and even an ancient Sony Walkman. But "enough will all these weird prices moves", is the DUMBEST, most BS thing I've ever heard any corporate person say.

Yahoo News is the most disingenuous source out there. I would rather get my daily news from an ACLU representative and the High Wizard of the Klu Klux Klan. At least then the articles would have a chance to be well written. |

This reminds me of when Disney first changed their dining plan. Some people complained it was too much food and some complained that they wish they had a way to adjust the tip based upon service. So, what did Disney do? They made a big deal of the few complaints and they annouced that they would remove the appetizer and no longer included the gratuity. But they would reduce the price to off set this. So, how much did Disney eventually reduce the price? $1. Thats right $1 from $40/adult/day to $39/adult/day. They took away around $20 of value and reduced it $1, not to make more money, but according to them, to accede to the wishes of their customers. There was a lot more outcry about the removal of gratuity then there ever was about too much food or controlling the tip amount, but for some reason they ignored it this time. So, to sum it up, they used a BS excuse about lisiting to their customers to foist a 47% increase in the cost on those same customers. And they did it with a smile! |

Higher prices help perceived value? What are you fucktards mad about exactly?

The weird thing is that I hated Sony with a passion until 2007.
