Quote:
Gamasutra reports this morning on the president of Sony Computer Entertainment Europe dropping a Playstation 3 price during an interview with radio station Europe 1.
George Fornay said that the Playstation 3 will be hitting Europe for €499 to €599 or about $612 to $734. Fornay also confirmed that the PS3 will be hitting Europe this November. Finally, Fornay reiterated that the dealy of the Playstation 3 was due to last minute changes in the Blu-ray’s copy protection.
Wow, that’s so very over-priced.

Looks like the beast will be expensive after all!

[Jordan]

Thats £350-£420 still alot more than the 360 was.

[darksnowman]

I even consider the Revo dear and were sure its gonna be cheaper than that, like half the price? Whoa I dont know what to say like but if Nintendo priced the N5 up in that kinda bracket I might have to actually think twice about gettin it. They wont though.

If these PS3 thingys fly off the shelves then people are crazy and should like look into giving their cash to charity instead of Sony.

[ultrajamie]

thats ridiculous considering we now know it's barely more powerful than the 360 is.

[AshMat]

Haha, this will not go down well.

[faz99]

"Mammy I want one of those, please please please"

"How much is it?"

"£400"

[The3rdChildren]

I may still get one, I dunno. It'd probably never get played.

[Hellfire]

Bursts laughing. Oh god.

[LazyBoy]

£400?


£400


*Leaves*

[m_fergy]

Well as long as it stays below the £400 i will still be getting one, all depends on games ov course

but if it goes above that i'll just wait till the price drops

[Cheapshot]

...ack! There is no way in hell I can afford that.

[m_fergy]

...ack! There is no way in hell I can afford that.

Its Aril now so 7 months till Nov thats 400 / 7 = £57 a month

should be alright if you have a job, not alright if your still at school tho

start beggin if you really want 1

[Sonic238]

i bought crappy electronic products for less.

[Nintendork]

"Mammy I want one of those, please please please"

"How much is it?"

"£400"
Quoted for truth.
Fuck that. I don't even want a new higher capacity format for HD films, I don't even want a HDTV, they're far too expensive.

On top of that the electricity bill for HDTVs, HD games consoles and HD broadcasting systems (like Sky) cost more than the generic standard freeview counterparts.

Why do we need it all? I mean Revolution will play on a standard widescreen TV, it will play DVDs on that TV which are relatively cheap these days and the electricity bill for it all will be much lower.

I know this is the 'Other Consoles' forum but I really don't see how the PS3 stands a chance.. especially if they don't meet Europe in 2006 as everyone will be in debt from Christmas.

[Nintendo Fan]

A)Hi how much is a Playstation 3?
B)£400
A)£400:shock:
A)Can i have a Revolution instead.

Sony really need to change the price tag.

[Sarka]

I think Nintendo should get the Rev as low as possible. $200 seems likely but there was an IGN report that said how it could be as low as $150 or $100. If they can get them out at $150 then people would no doubt buy them. or Nintendo could have a nice bundle with a Rev, 2 controllers (nun-thingy included) 2 shells and a game for $250... I'm sure they could get that.

500 euros is ridiculous for a console, I will never buy a console for that much.

[AshMat]

Customer: Hmm that ps3 looks good, how long does it take to cook my beef?
GameWorker:It's actually a games console sir, it has Blu-ray drive, HD, a big fuck-arse hard drive (which really is unnescessary) and is FUCKING HUGE
C:Hm.. not bad, how much is it?
GW:£400 sir
C:Fuck you? Are you joknig? Fuck off what's that tv remote shaped thing over there, WOAH i move it and stuff happens, how much?
GW: £150 sir, or £200 for 2 controller attachmentrs and a game.
C:Fuck me blind! Ill take it.

OUTSTANDING. Now if only that would happen.....

[Sarka]

Woah, that's the first time I've seen 4 people in a row quote the same passage...

I reckon demo stations will play a big part in the next gen. If people play the Rev, sees what it does, looks at the price and see a kick ass bundle it could blow the PS3 out of the water. Especially if the graphics are only slightly better than the 360.

[Nintendork]

Hahaha it will, Aim high and compromise.
I bet a ton of people get them for Christmas because the PS3 is out of stock at the £400 retail and only available on eBay for £700 without any games.

That my firiend is the years best post.

[AshMat]

Quotage :shock:
That was.. unexpected.

[Kurtle Squad]

The way I look at prices of things is if it's worth it's price in games.....So that's like £400/£35*.....So that's like 10 games or more :|

If you got a Rev you could get a Rev (£175 say) 3 Extra Controllers (£25 each?!) plus around 5 games......THEN you'd still need a PS3 game or 2 for the PS3 to be worth anything at all really, so that's another £100?!?! So then that's like another 2-3 games!!!

Anyway...you'll probably be able to get around 4-7 Revo games a Revo and 3 extra controllers for that price :|
I know that might sound a lil fanboy-y, but I'd never spend that on a console, and I'm a game addict!! I'd much rather go for the Revo..
It's ashame many people will just get a PS3 to be cool, rather than to actually play it.

*Averagly kind of for this gen and probably 1st Party Revo titles

How I wish that were reality.

It'll be more like this:

C: I want to buy one of these next gen consoles
GW: Alright then, we have the PS3 at £400, for that you get a machine, a DVD format that could well be obsolete in 6 months, and 1 horribly designed controller.
C: Hmmmm, sounds crap, and what about the other one.
GW: The Nintendo Revolution is priced at £150, for that you get the first true advancement in games in over ten years, a customisable controller you can use by moving or pressing the buttons, and for an extra £30 you get a game.
C: Sounds great, but what was the name of that first one again?
GW: PS3
C: *Gasp* PlayStation!! Gimme gimme gimme, I can go without eating for a few weeks.

[ShadowV7]

Ending there was funny.But 400 for a console...eek ,if I get one i'll wait till it goes down in price like many others ;)

[BeerMonkey]

£400!!!!!

£399.99 + £49.99 for a game + say about £24.99 for a pad

£474.97!! appox with a game and pad thats a bloody piss take..what parent is gunna pay THAT much for a console for there child/children.
Hell even as a xmas present thats a joke of a price
"ok you can have it but no more xmas presents for 3 years" ;)

[mario114]

By the time the bare minium is purschsed (2 pads and one or two games) your talking about £500, crap thats expensive. For that price I would rather put my money towards a car, or upgrading my pc.

[GigaPlay]

€499-€599?

And I heard people calling the Xbox 360 Core System expensive. The ones who did get it were considered spoilt FFS. How the hell are they going to react to this?!

Big problem there is, I won't be able to get a decent-length job until Summer '08 (because I'm 16 at the end of Summer '07 ><). Even then, I was planning to spending a lot of that money on gifts were Christmas and birthdays, as well as Mother's Day and Father's Day ._.

I don't even need Blu-Ray, DVD will be here to stay for another few years I bet, so the need for a new, pricey format just seems like a waste. Especially if it flops (and there very well may be a chance of it).

lol retro, with that post you just hit the 2 billion euro jackpot ;) this post is gonna wander around in every games forum, you'll see xD
i love the typo "joknig" and the "WHOA i move it and stuff happens" reaction *atomrofl*

[CVD]

No thanks.

I wouldn't pay £200 for a PS3.

[kav82]

That my firiend is the years best post.

I agree, so funny!

...and my two pence worth - it's a little too much to warrant me buying it, there's no way I'll be spending that much! When/if a price drop comes I might do!

[Domstercool]

Probably buy one at £350, that's probably the highest I'd go. I need Makai Kingdom!!!

[Ashley]

You can all joke about nobody buying it, and I agree that parents will be deterred but lets not forget the mid 20s-early 30s demographic who do 9-5 office jobs and will be able to afford them, and gladly spend god knows how much. It will sell fine, it will sell out, it will just have a press backlash for its price point.

[Calibur]

YOUCHIE, thats harsh Sony, very harsh. :sad:

[demonmike04]

They warned you it will be expensive...weres the big suprise?

[Nintendork]

Just heard that Toys 'r' us are taking pre-orders for the PS3.
for $50 you can get yourself a PS3 premium pack (with 60gb hard-drive) and two games on launch.

That means that Sony has been in discussion with retailers (well the largest ones) and they're doing what they did with the PS2.. you get a folder and fill out pre-orders for £20/$50 fee you can have a system guaranteed on launch.

There is a cut off point and after that nobody is assured a system.. many stores wont have any allocated for people without pre-orders.

I remember popping £20 on the till for my PS2 in Argos and it was the last day before the cut off point (some time in late September) and I got my PS2 in November waiting for me on the shelf with everyone else scrapping to get one on eBay.

Sony is much more organised here and if you cough up the money early you can get guaranteed a system.. unlike what 360 consumers got. Many 360 premium pre-order people didn't get their system and ended up walking home with a core pack and £200 in accesories.

I think anyone with £20 and some vague motivation to get a PS3 will be able to on launch.
I hope Nintendo do the same instead of having 16 hour DS-esque camp outs.

100% agree, there is still a cool factor about the PS3 which has been with a generation since the PS1.
Ever heard of the 3P room? Porn, Pool and Playstation.. it's what all bachelors aspire to have.. and they don't live in a world where money is an issue like pointed out- parents do.
What could this mean? this generation kids do not get the Playstation, they get a Nintendo system.. and they grow up with Nintendo because it's a more affordable system.
and when this generation grows up they will buy another Nintendo system and Nintendo becomes 'cool' again like Sony once had.

However a lot of cool marketing will need to follow, I remember being in awe at the Fincher PS2 adverts.

[Schpickles]

http://www.gamesindustry.biz/content_page.php?aid=15937

Apparently this was mis-translated and taken out of context (for a change).

So... its not a pricing "announcement" after all

[mario114]

It would probaly be a nicer earner, to pre-order one, then when you get it stick it on ebay, it's bound to sell out and will give a good profit for anyone who has the money to invest in the first place.

[Domstercool]

I just want the console! I need gaming products!

[monkeyDluffy]

the problem I see for the PS3 at the moment is it's too expensive and its just plain ugly, it really is.

[Gaijin von Snikbah]

Here is a theory:

Yesterday Sony Europe person revealed the price of the PS3.

Today Sony is denying it all, and blaming a bad translation.

They could just be testing us all, and see how we would react to that price they revealed yesterday. They certainly got enough responses.

[Nintendork]

Am i the only one who thinks that retro lovers post wasnt funny...in the slightest, i mean talk about over reacting over one post


LOOK OMG RETRO LOVER FOR GOD'Cause he said the F word.

I think Substeinar has got it bang on there- someone cocked up, figured it was common knowledge and released what his price range is (€100 is still a lot)
I think it's quite likely Sony plays the monopoly card- it will have the first blu ray drive on the market being a home brew tech. and that will be £700, making the PS3 at £500 seem cheap (oo blu ray included)

That's what happened when the PS2 came out, DVD players on their own cost about £250 (for a Sony one, i know there was some cheaper ones that did the job) and it just seemed to make sense.

[1UP]

the ps2 dvd drives were shit. I'd rather have a ps3 with a dvd drve. Blueray is not the next big thing.

[Jamba]

Haha!
£400 ftw! Or not...

I can't believe this. Before, consoles used to be a barely exceptable xmas present but even the 360 is a bit much for that (i think). Soon we will have to take out a "Console Mortgage" *shudder*

[Nintendork]

Anyone thought that these prices might not include VAT or rounding up after VAT? I think £400 is quite hot if we need to put a price on it.

THis should get a special "post of the month" award :idea: :p

[Towers]

I think they have shot themselves in the foot with a price tag that high. Don't get me wrong, sure some bachelours will buy it cause it's got Playstation written on it but they're missing out massively on the council estate Chavs who all own the current PS2. On top of that kids at school won't have one (The rich ones may) which means word of mouth doesn't happen.

I think Sony are playing on their brand names, both the Playstation and Blu-Ray name hoping to make it a seller.. I think for that price they're wrong.

[DiemetriX]

If i can putt my anime/movies/series on the PS3 and then watch it wherever I am (aslong as i have net accsess) I have to have a PS3..

[Fierce_LiNk]

I read somewhere that the PS3 can even play games. But don't quote me on that one.

[DiemetriX]

TBH. There's no games announced that make me want a PS3.
And the only reason I use my PS2 is Singstar/Buzz/Guitar Hero
But I'm buying a PS3 this/next year anywayz.

Seems like an awful waste of money to me. :hmm:

[DiemetriX]

Well... I'm known for wasting money...
I got 4 GC, 3 Xboxes and an Ngage :|
and I cant remember the last time I used my PSP.

Having all the nextgen consoles is a must for me.
I feel it's my job since i work in a gamestore. And I'll have no problems affording it.

[Yoshiking]

I'll never be able to afford a PS3. Then again, I don't want one. I have never used my PS2. That's right. Never. Probably mainly because I took it apart (and then my friend smashed all the pieces), but nonetheless. I don't wanna spend that much money on something I'll never use.

agreed too much money for me and i am one of thes 20-30 batchellors that was mentioned. we do have other thing to pay for you know not just £400+ for a console.

[DiemetriX]

If the PS3 does eveything they say it can do I wouldn't call it a wast of money. (for my sake)

It will then replace my PC, fry my food, and entertain me in ways only the revolution can surpass.

[MasterYoda]

[DiemetriX]

You do know that it can be done on the X-Box, right?

Xbox is limmited to my own home.
If i can have my PS3 at home and watch anything anywhere on PSP...
THAT would be awsome

[MasterYoda]

Well you can already watch videos on the PSP. Why would you need a PS3 to watch videos? But it surely won't be a waste of money anyway :heh:

Sorry man but you really arent' putting up a convincing arguement lol

[Tellyn]

I draw the link at Revo at 200 quid. If it has a massive bundle like that GC shell for the controller and all the other shells, nun-chuckas, games, and maybe an updated Wi-Fi connector, then I'm in. Hell, I'll buy it whatever. The last sony console I bought was PS1 and it will stay like that.

Revo > 360 > PS3

And yeah i know thers not a lot of reasons to buy a PS3 but I want to belive i'm not wasting my money :P (I'm buying a PS3 anywayz)

I don't agree... I'd say PS3=Revo and both >>> 360.
YOU'RE NOT WASTING YOUR MONEY!!!
If you like japanise RPGs and Sony franchises, that is. :yay:

[Charlie]

I draw the link at Revo at 200 quid. If it has a massive bundle like that GC shell for the controller and all the other shells, nun-chuckas, games, and maybe an updated Wi-Fi connector, then I'm in.

What's wrong with the current connector? I don't think they should bundle the connector with it as many people a) already have one or b) have something else. They can buy it seperately if they need/want one. I would say £200 for the console, a controller (with nun-chuck and shell) and a game. Realistically, it wont be any cheaper that that, I reckon the console will be £130, the same price as the GC at launch.

[Mokong X-C]

Jesus if the PS3 itself is gonna be £400 i can only cringe at what the price of the games may be

[AshMat]

My bet is anything up to and including 60 pounds for a game.
I would guess 30 for a controller, but we don't know what the controller will be like since we don't know what it is anymore.
Im guessing itll have motion sensors, tv remote shape..

[goku21]

Hey Hey people not so much blind fanboyism please...we are nintendofans as you can see in the posts above but let´s not do the same faults the other fanboys do...or it´s not going to change in future...just simple bashing is stupid...some people really have the money and a practical use of all the gameunneccessary features, people that like converting films because they are DIVX-Fanboys for example are pleased with the PS3...it might be really fast in these things...or perhaps for linux-techies this is a good one too,
gamers are buying this stuff too because they are satisfied to have the new sony-console...and that´s O.K. i think, i´ll buy a revo anyway, I wasn´t that hyped for a looooooong time, but same goes for sony fans....

[Domstercool]

For me it's Makai Kingdom, nuff said. I'm a super fan of Nippon Ichi and they are supporting the PS3, So I buy it. It is really that simple. Also the fact that the PS3 will still be the RPG console yet again, there is no doubt about it.

[Cubechris]

Whats that booker?

[DiemetriX]

I think it is the new Metal Gear Game.

[Jordan]

Indeed it is. Not even a Metal Gear game could make me buy a PS3...

[m_fergy]

Av got the money for mine now :) *2 months free car insurance* :yay:

Just waiting till e3 now to see if there is going to be any decent games to make me want to buy it

[triforce_keeper]

hehe sony is going dooooown *rly low* lol how do they expect lttle kids (thats like half of there fanbase) to get THAT! i mean bloody hell, ok maybe some good payed people will get it but they will lose all the kids which holds the playstation up. Bad move sony. (haha)

[ShadowV7]

There needs to be quite a few games for me to buy a PS3

[CoolFunkMan]

Pfffft!!! If it's 400 quid, sod that! Though nothing is official yet, but who knows (appart from Sony)? I will get one eventually when the price is decent and not so ott.

LMAO.
Believe what you want, but that's not the truth.

Believe what you want, but that's not the truth.
It partly is,it won't have as big a fanbase as PS2,it will sell more when the price is reduced

gamers are buying this stuff too because they are satisfied to have the new sony-console...and that´s O.K. i think, i´ll buy a revo anyway, I wasn´t that hyped for a looooooong time, but same goes for sony fans....

Whatever you said there was crap.

hehe sony is going dooooown *rly low* lol how do they expect lttle kids (thats like half of there fanbase) to get THAT! i mean bloody hell, ok maybe some good payed people will get it but they will lose all the kids which holds the playstation up. Bad move sony. (haha)

Same to you.

[MasterYoda]

It partly is,it won't have as big a fanbase as PS2,it will sell more when the price is reduced

Yeah i agree, but i was lmao when he said that 50% of Sony fans are kids.:indeed:

[That Guy]

LMAO.
Believe what you want, but that's not the truth.

I agree. You could say, how would kids be able to afford £300 for the PS2 when it first came out. Sure the price will put a few people off, but anyone who wanted one will still get one imo.

[ShadowV7]

Ah right 50%,that was pretty funny,no offense to you or nothing.Alot of kids around my area and some I know got a PS2 within the last couple of years when price went down.I expect the PS3 to do well.Not right away,will gradually get better I think and then more parents will buy them

[Domstercool]

Oh yeah, Metal Gear Solid 4 is certainly up there Dabookerman :D

[Ashley]

Thinking about it, I'd imagine the PS3 will sell more Christmas 2007 than this one, as I'd expect it to have gone down in price by then.

Thought I'd share.

[m_fergy]

Dunno if this has been asked but as the ps3 can play all ps1,ps2 games what about the saves you have on your old mem cards ?

will you be able to transfer them to the ps3 ?

[BeerMonkey]

sony arnt thinking of a big range of people to buy this at launch...not a very friendly approach

[ZeldaFreak]

LMAO.
Believe what you want, but that's not the truth.

Well it is kind of true think about it:

Play Station

Play = kiddy part
Station = makes it seem like something from Power Rangers

Makes kidds want it more than 18-25 yo

[Babooo]

.....MGS4.....that game looks sooo good. I think I'll get a PS3 just for that game alone. Just like I did for MGS2 and the PS2.

But I'll definately wait for the price to go down first. There is no way I'm spending more than £300 on a console.

[Jordan]

Although all these amazing astounding games come on PS2 such as Ico, Shadow of the Collosus, MGS3 etc come out, 70% of people who own a Playstation buy it for three reasons: Gran Turismo, Grand Theft Auto, Pro Evo.

Unless a company had all these 3 games and more theres no way Sony will ever fall.

[Zero Seven]

I think people are forgetting just how much stress Kids can put on parents to buy them "the latest and coolest" as Ive seen it before... ive seen it with consoles and ive seen it with damn biscuits!

Kids want, they dont shut up, many parents dont believe in hitting their children (I wouldnt believe in that either) so what are u gonna do? ground them? many parents give in and just buy them the damn thing and as far as older gamers....they are most likely saving up right as i type this message.

Triforce keeper you remind me of gamers from game room on yahoo... I dont think the PS3 will sell as majorly as the PS2 at launch but as soon as the price goes down, I tell you now you WILL be playing PS3's in your friends house at some point.

this is comin from a guy who wants a 360 and a Rev, god even I cant go blind to the fact the PS3 will sell like hell!

If WipeOut 6 is good enough, I might buy it.. F-Zero really isn't my thang.

[McMad]

oh man

[McMad]

Oh then, whoops.

[Domo Kun]

I'll buy a PS3 when it falls in price. I'm a poor student and I wouldn't be able to eat for a few months if I paid £400 for a console.

I HAVE to have MGS4 however... I also need to eat... Why is life so crewl?

[guarana]

do like me .. i will make a friend (ps3 owner).. barrow his ps3 (steal it)..
lose friend .. gain ps3 .. thats how im gunna get a ps3..

[AshMat]

Clever, if it works ill try it, but im gonna need help carrying that bulk home.

So what you're saying is that more PS3s will be sold than expected, due to parents getting shitter and shitter by the second!?

[ShadowV7]

I don't think kids can put on that much pressure,far to expensive to buy that and 2 odd games for their kid.Nearly £500 no chance.

[The fish]

It'll be more that £500.
£400 for console, £60 per game, £25 for a second controller. Thats £545. Thats too much.
Oh, and to get your moneys worth out of the £400 console, you need an HD-TV, which will set you back £1000.

£1545 vs £200 (a rev, second controller, and 2 games).
The winner is obvious.

That's a stupid argument. The Rev will probably be about £150 (but with a second controller pack-in) and the PS3 about £300-400. You don't need a HDTV to get great graphics on PS3, so with two games for each console (£50 on PS3, £40 on Rev), the prices are about £230 vs £400-500. See, you don't need daft, over the top arguments to show an obvious price difference.

[The fish]

Acctually the graphics on an SD-TV with a PS3 will have no noticable difference from a rev, so to get your moneys worth from a £400 console, you need an HD-TV, or just get a rev.

Oh, and PS3 games will be, like xbox360 games were at launch, £59.99.

[ShadowV7]

PS3 is atleast 400 and games £50-£60 don't see how that is over the top.And to truelly see PS3 graphics you would need HD TV but a lot of people won't have one.

[Zero Seven]

So what you're saying is that more PS3s will be sold than expected, due to parents getting shitter and shitter by the second!?

I apolagize for not mentioning that this will only accomadate for a part of the sales (doesnt this happen with alot of things now adays?) but I was stressing this fact because it does happen, I know The PS3 will sell for obviously many other reasons too but I was speaking apon the price and how Kids will not take the price seriously as they will just want their PS3.

I didnt say parents getting shitter, Its a huge strain to them, I mean no harm or disrespect Kurt.

(Edit: £500?! I was thinking £350 - £400 Max, if it does turn out to be £500 then forget my whole post)

[Domo Kun]

Bit of a long shot, but does anyone remember how long it took the PS2 to fall to £200?

I really want a PS3, but with that kinda price there isn't a chance I'll be buying it at launch, and it looks like I may have a long wait ahead of me...

Le sigh...

Oh well, Revolution should keep me entertained ^___^

[Nintendork]

That's a stupid argument. The Rev will probably be about £150 (but with a second controller pack-in) and the PS3 about £300-400.

See, you don't need daft, over the top arguments to show an obvious price difference.
I like how he included a HD TV for the PS3 owner but didn't include a TV at all for the Revolution.. I guess it's a magic system.

Anyway this argument that there is no noticeable different between a Revolution and a PS3 on a standard definition television is getting FUCKING old.

Seriously.. a PS3 can render much deeper environments with more moving things, varied textures, deeper sounds and so much more.

If you think that a Revolution can handle the tracks and all the cars and damage that Gran Turismo Vision can do you are seriously misinformed.

The Revolution is not a wonder machine.. sure to the naked eye the PS3 will have a handicap on a SD TV but you're really deluding yourself if you think they will perform in the same way and hold up the same kind of environments you're mistaken.

[Jordan]

Not really, the only reason the thing has so much power is to pull off High Defintion.

Since the Revolution lacks this capability, there is simply no need for all that power. Yet it can still as we've seen from RedSteel pull off resonably good graphics in my book.

I guess we shall have to wait and see.

WRONGGG !!!

I cant remember paying £60 for a 360 game at launch

and games are not just about graphics, there is a whole lot of other stuff, the ps3 will be able to handle more stuff on the screen then the rev can

so you wont need a HD-TV to get the full out of a ps3

The screen we have seen might not be actual in game screens, so nobody knows anything yet to we see actual rev games in motion

[ShadowV7]

Standard TV's will limit the PS3's power but you can still tell a difference between the PS3 and the Rev because of it's power and when you see the PS3 on HD will be a huge bonus and look good.

[Domo Kun]

Are any developers actually going to make a game that the PS3 can handle and the Rev can't?

Either way, I'll still need a ps3 as well as a Rev.

[ZeldaFreak]

PS3 will cost the equilibrium market price so as to get the average price of a PS3 and that sony will not want to lose more than 75% on consoles it will be anywhere between £499 to £899. FACT

[BeerMonkey]

It'll be more that £500.

AHAHAHA....Nono...I was agreeing with you :P (meaning part of the sales though obviously)

Btw...parents are getting shitter ;)...I'd say it was pretty obvious...I think though that a lot of older kids today are noticing though n parent standards MAY improve again...

[ZeldaFreak]

I'll add my views it will cost no more than £800. End of discussion

I did feel stupid for not explaining in more words in terms of what i ment as when I re-read what i typed, it did look like what i was saying was "PS3 will sell cause of kids not caring about costs" not adding the facts it will sell due to loyality of the playstation franchise.

I am hoping we will get a price apon the PS3 at E3 from Sony themselves but considering the PS3 isnt the console im after right now, I cant say id be too disappointed if i didnt get a price tag at E3.

[Jamba]

Part of me wants it to be expensive just so Sony can learn the leason. But at the same time the Playstation has brought welcome competition to the market.
I agree with the parent thing btw. I would only ever get a console for a birthday or Christmas and I would often have to contribute to the cost of that even it up. Can't believe parents just buy their kid a PS2 because they give in. It's a lot of money.

[mario114]

I'll add my views it will cost no more than £800. End of discussion

Of course it will cost less than £800, unless it sells out and you buy of ebay, or shops to a 360 and only sell it with 10 games.

[Zombie_Fan]

Im sure the PS3 will be a nice console, but the price is a bit spicy for me.
I am 21, I have a good job, I make good money, and Im a bachelor. I still don't fill like buying one. The PS3 in a strange way reminds me of the Neo Geo.

[mario_jr]

I think it will be about 600 $$$(american). I guess it would have been more if Sony had not decided to drop the Bluetooth from the PS3. But what you're really paying for is the Blue-Ray and those 8 Cell procesors.

[m_fergy]

Im not arsed about the price now like, and blu-ray ( Me thinks it will fail )

im expecting no more than £450, that will be top end of price

I just cant wait to see the new shape of the ps3 and the controller, and the games of course

not long to wait now :)

[Babooo]

E3 is gonna be good.

I want plenty of info on ps3 please sony. :grin:

[Fierce_LiNk]

E3 is gonna be good.

I want plenty of info on ps3 please sony. :grin:

They probably will try to do their best, in order to out-gun Nintendo. It's going to be a battle between these 2 at E3.

revolution bound to win
coz it has new design (remote)

oh ye, i nearly forgot,......... the PRICE
revo is so cheap compared to ps3 and games are way cheaper to.:yay:

[ShadowV7]

Lmao,so nice.He will make a good contribution to the forum's ;)

[rokhed00]

Yep, we can never have enough fanboys round here.

[gmac]

love how Sony have now come out and denied all this, they now say he was just mentioning the value of the blu-ray component of the ps3 :P

[Dutt]

Well there's *no* way I'll be forking out those kinda prices for a PS3. Revo will suit me just fine, + with the Ninty library up for download, can't go wrong. Especially with the problems I've had tracking down a NES.
