Playstation signature stuff

Post by Mobius »

(if it's not the good forum to post this stuff, can a mod move it?)

Playstation branded luxury items

damn, who are they targeting with this stuff?
a playstation casual fan won't be tempted by this stuff and people who want some luxury stuff won't buy something with a playstation logo on it...

Sony has grown so big they can think they can shit in a paper bag, slap a Sony logo on it and call it "retro" price it at four hundred dollers and then watch as people knock down their doors to buy it. Acutal production cost of those items are just about double the acutal parts. Of course the price is around eight to ten times higher.

Meaning that Sony's going for the "rich/stupid" market with these.

Good, because rich/stupid people are easily parted from their cash which may, or may not, help those with actual consumer nous.
