ps3 could cost $700 at launch
 

[quote:a6b34]Probably the most exotic of the report's predictions was a reference to Sony's PlayStation 2 update. The report suggests Sony is considering adding PSX and TiVo-like functionality to the PlayStation 3. And if it does, the sticker price on the unit could climb as high as $500. The report states: "We expect Sony to introduce its next console with more functionality than its current console (duh really? oOo: ). We base this conclusion on the introduction of the PSX, planned for late this year. The PSX will include a Digital Video Recorder (similar to TiVo) functionality; broadband Internet accessibility; wireless LAN functionality; and DVD read-write functionality. These features add approximately $500 per unit to the cost of production, resulting in an expected launch price of around $700. By late 2006, we expect the cost to include these features to decline to around $250, but speculate that the next generation console, should it include these features, could debut at $500. At this level, we believe that many consumers will be alienated." [/quote:a6b34]

Re: ps3 could cost $700 at launch
 

oOo:

PS3 > Xbox 2 > whatever nintendo is doing

calmdown:

OMFG PYRO LIKES SOMETHING!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Yeah..at a possible $500\$700 i can see the ps3 being bought by the unwashed hoards of people...oh wait no i can't. rolleyes:

Consoles = for kids anyway, fuck em.

What has the world come to?

yeah and by the time it comes out, PCs with AMD or Intel 64 bit processors will cost as much oOo:

computrons pwn consolicans. oOo:

im sick of consoles

demand will ultimately determine the price, xbox will probably release a good contender soon after

so basicly these companys are luanching watered down PC's for ridiculous prices, fuck them.

If all games were like kotor there'd be a mass of suicides among gamers. eek:

But meh, far far too early to say wtf these new consoles are gonna bring, nintendo is bring a revoloution to gaming, all we know about xbox 2 is its ati graphics powered and may be using built in flash ram instead of a hard drive, and ps3's "cell technology".

True, we shall have to wait and see.

Not nerds

That made sense oOo:

Waste, Put your Money to something useful and don;t spend it on fucking video games and/or video game consoles, such a waste. rolleyes:

700$ !? For that price, it better give good motherfucking head. Respect...

I agree ps2 sucks balls the only reason a bunch of people have bought it was of the GTA games. The only use my ps2 gets is as a dvd player

I use my PS2 for RPG's mainly. Theyve got some decent games.

I agree why waste the money.

When is Xbox 2 due for launch? i jsut bought a xbox...

Any pics of zee PS3?

Around xmas 2006 from what I have heard. But that was a almost a year ago.

X-box 2 will probably be a 64bit PC with X-box sticker biggrin:
Microsoft already has the most computer-like console out now

xbox 2 might not have a hard drive though ive read somewhere.


anyway ps3 will be another non successor like its ps2 comrade to the ps1. sony riding on the wave of ps1 will run out.

dreamcast>any new age console.

It wont I am not sure how you will be able to save your games

ROFL....Dreamcast was the final nail in Sega's coffin.

consoles are only good for sports games/racing , imo
