Paying a lot isn't so bad, but it is when you're paying a fortune, and it STILL doesn't cover the cost to produce. Here's a few PS3 facts to look over:

PRICE: Will most likely range between 500-700 big ones

COST TO MANUFACTURE: Closer to 900 bucks

BLUE-RAY: New technology, causing spike in prices, and difficulties in programming

GAME PRICE: Games will most likely cost between 60-80 dollars on the PS3, as compared to the 50-60 on XBox360 and Revolution

If you put all of this together, along with the fact that they will not make the holiday sales fever, you don't really have to favorable an outcome, at least within the first few months of the system being on sale.

One other thing I'd like to point out. The first Blue-Ray player costs close to $1400. If they are manufacturing PS3s for 900, then what is the quality of the components in the machine?
