I thought I'd post to see if anyone had any thoughts on this: http://money.cnn.com/2006/01/11/commentary/game_over/column_gaming/index.htm Are you willing to shell out $500 bucks for a shiny new PS3, and more importantly will the casual gamers! Marcus Dublin
Sony is banking on the fact it doubles as a blu-ray player. Seriously though. $500, for a top of the line console, and a built in blue-ray player is'nt really that bad. You cant get a dell with comparible specs for 500 bucks, I could'nt even build one with blackmarket prices for 500 bucks. Just cause you dont have the…
Considering that sony are currently laying off staff around the world in large numbers, the UK price could be anywhere from £250 to £500. I think $500 is the low end estimate, I expect it to be much higher. Take all the bells and whistles off and you might find a games console under there
I don't think it's a matter of us hardcore gamers and developers shelling out 500$ I mean we all hang out on a video game related messeage board what else are we gonna do with our money ..but for my parents both of which have been playing video games since Atari 500$ is just to much in these times of rising prices and…
Quite so. I can't play games on a GeForce 7800 alone. And the XBox360 came out at approximately $500 over here, so that price tag sounds perfectly appropriate. It's not the "casual gamers" who buy the thing when it's first released anyway - it's the hardcore gamers, and the rich parents with 10- to 15-year-old kids. The…
$500/£280 to be among the first to buy a console positively bristling with incomprehensibly advanced microchips that will last you for the next 5-7 years? Nightmare! fuck me, a decent scalextric set will set you back over a hundred quid ...
It is just an estimate of what they think the price will be. Stuff will change before the PS3 comes out..god knows when..but I think it'll be in the range of 400-475$ in the States. Being in the 500$ range will unfortunatly turn off a lot of people to the console..and would be bad for game sales
I wish people would stop speculating on the price and just wait until it arrives. They've stated many times that it will be comparible to the 360. If it's $500, don't buy it... let them see that you aren't willing to pay that much. Unfortunately, lemmings will buy them like the idiots paying $2000 for the 360's on ebay.
