Wouldn't be at all suprised, im amazed the guy said it cant be offered for a price that'll be targeted for households. Im assuming all this research and development for the cell cpu cost them big time so the console is priced to get that cash back as quickly as possible, even though a dual core p4 would have done a better job.

PS3 oOo:

ouch

(why do I find myself saying this more often? ha)

fuck that, that way too much i rather upgeade my comp

fx 57 > 4800 + > p4's. biggrin:

... there is no way the PS3 will be able to compete with Xbox if the price is that high.

consoles sleeping:

I have a ps2 i never play and use the gamecube when im bored.

does Nintendo even have a new console coming out? or did they concede defeat?

I only use my PS2 for football games. I'd rather play an FPS on the comp anyday over consoles.

they will always have one becuase of the family aspect and much cheaper price tag

YOu expect to get it cheaper there?

If anything, people on ebay will sell it for more than stores at launch.
