Old May 8th, 2006, 10:18 PM        PS3 hits US November 17, $499 for 20GB version, $599 for 60G
Pretty steep price but I still plan on getting one on launch. (the 20 Gb one at least.)

It wasn't really as bad as some people thought it was gonna end up costing us. And also, it's pretty funny how they are releasing a Second wireless controller that alot of people are comparing to Nintendo's Wii. I guess they think the rang' controller won't be enough. :/

Here is the link: http://www.gamespot.com/news/6149470.html

Jumping Jesus Christ On a Pogo Stick, I'll never be able to afford one at launch. I suspect Microsoft will drop the 360's price either before or after the PS3's launch, so I'll be getting one of those.

As long as you can upgrade the system at a later date, I'll buy the 20GB. I don't see needing a 60GB, but if I do, I'd like to just do a switch out.

$500 seems about right on with most speculation. I think a lot of people were hoping for lower though. If it was $300 - $400 at most - Sony would probably have the upper hand this year.

I still wanna get one at launch, but I'm concerned that I'll be supporting a trend and telling game companies it's OK to keep going higher and higher with prices. I don't want the PS4 to be $700 or something.

I've never bought systems on launch. I usually wait until the first price drop. When I got my PS2 sometime after the first price drop, there was another price drop within 30 days after I bought it so I got some money back from Best Buy when I went back and showed them my receipt

Utterly ridiculous *dusts off SNES*

If I'm paying $500+ to play the games, the PS3 better give me a handjobs, fix me lunc, and wash my car.

You know what's great about PCs? You can always get decent technology for the exact same price, all the time.

The Cell processor and Blu-ray is what's making the PS3 so expensive, and from what I've been reading, the $600 version has a lot of other hardware enhancements that don't sound like you can simply "upgrade" your cheap version to get them.

Let's not forget the $1000 graphics chip setup. Also, I've never seen a $600 computer that could play games from the last 10 years.

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.

I just hope that if they really do make it backwards compatible, that they make the more fucking exspensive PS3 able to read the PS discs a lot better.

Sorry about the bump, but I think James needs to see this:

http://www.gamesradar.com/gb/ps3/gam...sectionId=1006

Quote:
A Sony representative on the show floor at E3 also emphasized that gamers won't be able to upgrade the memory of the 20GB version; if that's the PS3 incarnation you opt for, you're permanently stuck with a 20GB memory limit.
Also, a ton of other key features are missing as well. read the article for more info.

I don't know much about how this thing is going to work, but do you really need 20 gigs?
