Sony's Latest Marketing Strategy

What is Sony doing? I can remember the times when a new console was introduced, and there were two options: either you buy it or you don't. But thanks to Microsoft starting the ball rolling on different versions of the 360, we now have Sony following suit by offering five hundred different versions of the Playstation 3. Is the 60 GB too expensive for you? Why not go for the 40! Oh wait, they gimped the set and now it's not backward compatible (but they don't make that very clear on the box or via marketing). 40 GB not up your alley? There is still the 20. Coming soon, the 22 GB set. Then then 26 GB. Then the 400 GB for the people who want to download the entire run of Star Trek starting with Shatner and ending with the last crappy movie.

Really Sony, PICK A SET AND STICK WITH IT. The consumers are getting sick of all these changes every few months trying to get a few more people to buy the console and help get the company out of the red. Or better yet, stop focusing so much on tweaking the console and get some decent games out for the thing.
