E3 is a day away. So long as Sony shows me "This is why you need a PS3 in November," I'll be willing to buy the $600 version. Hell, last year's E3 made me ready to buy whatever shit they slung at me, so they might pull it off this year too.
Which sucks. Because like I said, people spending this kind of money will only result in a continuing trend where companies will keep selling more expensive consoles because they can.

If you're buying a $1000 video card, then a $600 PS3 probably isn't a problem for you, either, huh? Buying really expensive technology to play games is retarded, because in six months that video card will cost $200 and the game will still be around.
I've seen $300 computers that could play games from the last 10 years. Hell, I'm using a computer as a doorstop that can play anything older than three years.
These consoles are going to cost more and more because they're incorporating newer and newer technology. New tech means that it's expensive to manufacture. It's the price you pay for being an early adopter.
