Sony recently dropped the price of the Playstation 3 in another effort to stop the hemorrhaging of absolute failure. Other suggestions for saving the game console include decreasing the models available from two to one, improve performance, put the rumble back in the controllers, redesign away from the current 1972 Buick look-and-feel, make it easier for developers to create games, bundle games, did I mention make it easier for developers to make games?, and copying Xbox Live. All great ideas but I think I've found a solution that's better, faster, cheaper.
How to save the Playstation 3
- Cut a hole in the box.
Wait, wait, wait, wrong list! Sorry about that.
How to save the Playstation 3
- Take the PS3 to a lake, river, or still, but clean, body of water.
- Have the game console formally renounce Satan, All Evil and Ken Kutaragi (covered under the renouncement of all evil but he's a asshat so why not call special attention to His Idiocy).
- Bless the water by throwing in a mint copy of Gran Turismo 3.
- Have the PS3 make a statement of faith (i.e. I believe I can be a great game console that gamers will really want).
- Dunk the console in the water--hold for two-to-three seconds--and bring back to the surface (provide back support).
- Sing Amazing Grace and/or play the theme to Ridge Racer.
- Take the Playstation to Arizona to dry out completely. Do not baptize the PS3 and then plug it in unless your intention is to send it directly to heaven, before you get a chance to play Resistance the Fall of Man or watch something on Bluray.
- Call Peter Moore and yell into the phone: "Yeah, I got saved, suck it."
Easy. Peasy.

"...bring it on down to Homelessville."
Brilliant. "(provide back support)" ... Nice touch ;)

You know, we should start a web dev gaming clan.
I thought your easy answer was going to be:
1.) Take a large preferably metal/alumanim bat and go to town on that bad boy until it is unrecognizable
2.) REPENT!
3.) Purchase an XBOX 360 and live happily ever after...
Bah, the 360 is no better!
> Bah, the 360 is no better!
I should ban you from commenting for posting blatant blasphemy!
In a surprise move Sony has announced that they will be reducing the price of the PS3 from "Way Too Expensive For A Console" to "Too Expensive For A Console."
On the banks of the Jordan, wii can all be saved!
'bring back to the surface (provide back support)'
Greg, have you considered marketing your combat-exercise regime? Airbag Aikido, perhaps?
Funny, it seems only in America that the Xbox is so hot. Is it some kind of patriotism? In Tokyo no one cares about the Xbox, it's not innovative and takes up too much space. The Wii is so much better and far more innovative. The PS3 was a tragic mistake. I don't think anything can save it now.
Well then I shall repent myself...
Please forgive me?
psych!

Did they actually say that? I would give them a higher score if they did.

Brilliant idea! I hearby announce that Baptizercise! Volume One is in pre-production and should be available on DVD in March '08.

No, it's the only next gen console that has the best games and the best online experience. All it would take for Xbox to be hot in Japan is for Square Enix to publish their games on that platform.
I couldn't give two shites on whats popular in Japan.
If its got games I want to play and pople to play it with I am in.
Own a PS3, never bought a game - Folding@home 24/7 since Sony released the software to fold proteins to Stanford.edu. Also the last 11.8 million Xboxes all have flaws, heat death possible, $1.2 billion error by MSFT.
