View Full Version : Price playstation 3
What do you think about it and what is a reasonable price you think?
I heard it's gonna by like 800Euro's or something ~_~.
I would buy it if it's 300E(375$) or less.

yeah i also heard its gona be around the 400-500 euros, i would buy it for 400, but 500 is a bit too mush, plus i have to get a HD tv to play on max grafs. and HD tvs cost around the 900-1000 euros XD, oo man life is hardﾃつ* ;D .
Well HDTV's are getting cheaper and cheaper everyone is buying them. It's better not to buy HDTV's now most HDTV's now are not good at all, some even say they are HDTV compaitable but they're not -_-.
They need to develop this a bit more first I think...

They say its now gonna be $600 for the 60 gig version. Thats rediculous. I wish it would come down about $200-$300 :(

i thought it was like $700 for the 60 gig version and like 600 for the 20 gig isn't it? or something like that... if it were like the price of the ps2 when it first came out i wouldn't mind... but it seems so expensive... and i think the controlers were ugly well the bomerang one was ugly

The PS 2 was around $500 in Canada when it first came out. Then there was like a massive stock shortage around christmas and people were buying/selling them for like $1500 to 2 grand!! I even heard of one dumass paying $3500 for one!!!
Anyway, if the release of the PS3 is anything like it was for the PS2 I wouldn't count on it selling for less than $600 initially. If your patient (and smart) and wait for the hype to die off it'll be selling for under 500 after one year on the market at most.

Wherever did you get the idea that it cost $1000 to make? They would have scrapped the project ages ago if that were the case. There is no way in hell they would sell it for half of the production cost!! It would retail for $1500 or more, which no one in there right mind would pay. Sony would never produce/market a product that they know would fail. They are out to make a PROFIT. Bottom line.
HAHAHA. $3,500? That's just beyond stupid. :P

the only game console i ever had was the sega genesis 16bit ;D but then i started with pc and never needed a console again.screw ps3 and it's price i rather save the money for the comming pc stuff.i heard their working on pixel shader 4.0 grafik cards and a physics card(isn't that crazy?a card only for the physics).now we only need better cpu's and the pc is once again better than the consols.could be that i'm wrong but for me pc stays the best.
You know some smart people pre order 100 PS3 at the launch and sell them after that for double the price on ebay cause there's a limited amount of PS3 @ launch

i think the ps3 is worth a lot more that than $600

I heard recently that the PS3 (20GB version) is now gonna be released in the $400 zone, so hopefully the US version will be cheaper and that the 60 GB will drop $100 or so too. The machine is definately worth more than $600, but in my opinion, i think it was stupid to put a Blu-Ray player in it. The Blu-Ray player is one of the biggest reasons its as expensive as it is. There is very little that uses Blu-Ray and it doesnt have much backing.
PS3 is too expensive! sorry, sony, but im going for the Wii! wheeeeeeee~! XD

I'm right behind you on that cow. Even though the PS3 is gonna have the best graphics, I'm looking forward to the Wii more, due to the interesting gameplay and I LOVE Nintendo stuff. Besides, if I dont buy the Wii, I'll feel like I'm cheating on them, lol ;)

They had to take that chance... When the PS2 was just released almost no one had a DVD player, DVD is really populair now thanks to the PS2... Blu-ray is a great medium, it's expencive cause it's just out and they have problems with blue diodes or something lol ;D I'm sure blu-ray is gonna be a hit :)
And your right $600 isn't that much, the PS3 is not just a console, it can do almost everything a PC can :)
And about the Wii, a few days ago I heard something about their controller, it doesn't work when it's exposed to sunlight too much...

ps3 isn't going to have a rumble feature like ps2 did

Like when you get hit and stuff the controller doesn't shake? :(
Yeah I think they stopped with that >_> strange.... There is a new feature in the controller, if you move it up and down or left/right it should uhm.... Kinda hard to tell just wathc!

That's so fucking dumb?
The retail price would be more like $100-$300. Only a retard would pay more for a GAME machine. -_-

right. i completely agree with Sake on this. why the hell would you spend more than 200 bucks on a machine. and i bet the games are gonna cost like 70 bucks each? gimme a break. i'll wait about 2 years, keep playing my PS2 (which i got for a hundred) and eiter just rent games or buy them wen they become cheap. i rather spend that money on stuff that matters, like anime or FOOD

Lol, agreed. Nintendo Wii looks pretty cool though. <_< >_> I'll probably wait until more/better games get released on Wii and get that. :O
