I just wanna hear about developer contracts/expectations. How many projects ____ has in development for PS3's first 6 months of release, that kinda thing.

I can guaruntee you'll think the price is too high. Dont get your hopes up...

Jonbo298 · 07-19-2005, 10:55 PM

If its $299, thats fine because thats what the "larger" companies charge. Any higher and its too much, IMO.

Dark Samurai · 07-19-2005, 10:56 PM

I think the price is something that they'll withhold.

Jonbo298 · 07-19-2005, 11:17 PM

I'd hope so. Its too early to announce.

DarrenMcLeod · 07-20-2005, 01:00 AM

They are going to announce that Nintendo and Microsoft are exclusive to Sony.

him and many others I'm sure (excluding mega rich ppl)

Let's look @ the history:-

I payed $799 for my PS
I payed $715 for my Ps2
I will pay $XYZ for my PS3

With that said, the other consoles are quite expensive, but I think Sony has always charged the most with its consoles compared to others......

Perfect Stu · 07-20-2005, 04:22 PM

wow, aussies really get screwed on console prices. Im not familiar with your currency, did you express that as american dollars (approx)?

I think Sony will wait until AFTER Microsoft launches XBox360 before they announce any pricing details. They've been telling publishers that it wont be unlike their other console launch prices ($299, $299) so I would expect $299-$349

Well I was reading an article on CNN that Sony is expecting to lose a margin on the first phase of PS3 launch. Ken Kutaragi said in the article that they are willing to take a loss if they need to underprice the PS3 to match the market.

Nope it's AUD.

If that was american dollars man I'd be bankrupt by now owning all 3 consoles.

I just remember the PS2 and PSX being hella expensive. Xbox launched for something like $500 aud or something? I forgot

Joeiss · 07-20-2005, 06:03 PM

Cool stuff. I can't wait for PS3 to come out, since I'll have a bunch of money at that time.

Perfect Stu · 07-20-2005, 06:20 PM

how much is $700-some odd AUD in american dollars?

$400?

*Resident Evil 5 to PS3

Sony sounds like Microsoft now. "We'll make the price lower to take a hit"
