    Are you willing to pay $600 plus for a Playstation 3???

    Because thats the price

    Sony Slips PS3 Price
    French VP drops the big news.
    by Gerry Block

    April 5, 2006 - The word is out. Yesterday, Vice President of Sony Computer Entertainment Europe George Fornay let the PS3's European price slip. According to Fornay, the PS3 will cost between 499 and 599 euros. That translates to between $613 and $736 for us in the States.

    Sony has been saying that the PS3 will be expensive for months now, and Fornay followed up his blunder by insisting that these price points are a quality deal for a Blu-ray player. Nevertheless, all previous attempts at selling videogame consoles at this price point have been rather dramatic failures, even when the systems incorporated 'new' multimedia features.

    There may be some hope for lower price points in America. The European market generally gets screwed in consumer electronics, like the $299 iPod selling in Europe for 299?euros. That's a huge difference. Will we see the PS3 launch in the States at $499? Let's hope so, or else we'll be looking at the 360 to carry the industry for the next 5 years.

                      Now way it's $600. I'm not buying it for that much. I'll get a XBOX 360 and wait until the price drops in 2 years. I'll be shocked if it's over $499.

                              I think it will be around $399 to $499 here. It will get snapped up faster than a McRib in Texas.

                                      Nope, wouldnt even pay $1, unless I was going to resell it of course, because I dont play those games.

                                          Sure. Why not? It's not *THAT* much money, and It's gonna be a cool machine.

                                                                      It will still sell out world wide, they can't produce enough of them at the start while production heats up and people will buy it at the inflated price no matter what just to get one. I'll probably pick one up only if it has some special new games on it though that are not on Xbox 360. I'm sure the ps3 will drop in price when there supply catches up with demand.

                                                                      I have the 360 and HighDef 60inch plazma hooked up to a xbox 360 it FREAKING ROCKS, the 360 alone is a 2 generation jump over the old Xbox/ps2, I'm hard to impress and I was very impressed with the 360's graphics & games. If the 360 isn't hooked up to highdef tv though its nothing much different to the normal xbox just some new games and a little better graphics but Highdef tv's just bring out a whole new world of gaming. And Xbox live is pretty cool too just don't count on the damn Xbox wireless card to work out of the box.

                                                                      Try the New XMovies.com and make more $$$ with your Traffic

Those systems failed because they tried to much, to soon. Had people gone for those systems like they do today then who knows how much gaming would cost now. Maybe it is because I have been watching and playing since Nintendo was popular, the first time, maybe it is because I saw the trend of testing and testing what the market will bear but I just find it silly to rush out and give in to the tests.

                                                                                                      Here is my video game memory lane..... Remember how Sega started packaging with no second controller and no game, we bought it anyway? Remember how Nintendo started putting out a new system every 5 years or so and killed off the old one after never really putting out a lot of games, we still bought it? Remember how Sony released the PSX with double the price of anything we had seen before but had a peice of shit laser reader, we still bought it? Remember Sega came out with the dreamcast knowing it was in trouble, spent way to much on advertising and then flopped? Remember how Sony then released the PS2 and it also had a shit laser (DISK READ ERROR ANYONE), well some of you bought it, I waited. Remember Microsoft came out with a system AFTER the PS2 that barely could prove its superiority while making you buy a remote just to play DVD which was standard on the competition's machine and will not play some DVDs. And the whopper, I mean the one that takes the cake. Microsoft releases a system that they KNEW would crash just like they did with Win98 and still you buy.

                                                                                                      If the consumers would wake up instead of staying up to be the first in line to buy up the crap they are throwing you then the market would be controlled. I don't care how much money I have, not going to play into their game, be the first on the block to buy it, then watch as within a year or so the price cuts in half? I don't think so. I will be happy to just play it at your house for free.........

All I see is that fucking gay ass music video from "Rick Roll". Anyone else have a different link to the news clip?

The 360 game selection is some weak shit right now, I have always preferred PS2 games over Xbox games. And Blue Ray DVD is looking to be the solution for HD DVDs, so I will need one anyway.

                                                                                                                      No Brainer, I will be on the pre-order list for the PS3.

                                                                                                                          The thing is that if anyone here wants to get a FREE PS3, I have the solution for you. Head over to EBGames.com, GameStop.com and Wal-Mart.com or wherever, sign up for their pre-order newsletters OR if those stores are in your area, keep hounding them about a pre-order date. Once they start taking pre-orders, order one IMMEDIATELY to be one of the first in line. Do this at 3 stores and wait

                                                                                                                          Once the systems come out in November (right before Christmas), I'm sure there's gonna be a big shortage in them with the high demand, so you can keep one for yourself and sell the other 2 on Ebay to those that weren't bright enough to pre-order it and make enough money to pay for your system and also to buy yourself a couple extra games.

                                                                                                                                  I predict the same panic that xbox 360s went through. The mark up will be great.

                                                                                                                                  Even if it dont happen (and I see no reason why it won't) I can always resell them on ebay at price and not lose anything.

                                                                                                                                  You might want to consider this. Think of how much you would have made if you had 10 360s in your closet during the 1st shortage.

The price will eventually fall. I heard Nintendo's new system may start out really low like $199 or even $99 and try to clean up against all the high priced systems. I will be getting the Nintendo just to check out the new controllers which look like a great change in gaming.
