The Price of Playstation 3

How much would you be willing to shell out for a machine of this calibur?

Dark Samurai · 05-17-2005, 11:32 AM

$400-450 at the most, I dont have THAT much money to spend...

MuGen · 05-17-2005, 11:41 AM

I do... lol... but I won't go above $500...

Canyarion · 05-17-2005, 11:41 AM

I miss a few options. Or at least 1: less than these.

i wanna say i still dont think ps3 or 360 will be more then 299. However i wouldnt be surprised to see a 399 price on it. i doubt it'll be more then that tho.

Well a lot of people will hope for a no more than $399 price tag, but Jason Wong mentioned the RSX is more powerful then two $500 GeForce's...... anyquestions?

LOL anyway... I'll pay up to $499 for this... I'm so excited, but I wouldn't be surprised it it's a lot cheaper then we all speculate.

Yeah I'm with Null... It'd be nice if they could aim for a 299 price tag, but I'm not quite sure if that'll work out for PS3...

However I'd prolly be willing to pay up to 399 for it, although a price like that would obviously hurt sales somewhat...

We talking CAD or USD?

If PS3 wants to collect a large amount of owners, they have to keep it at $299 or lower. Pre-E3 polls that were conducted revealed $299 is as high as the majority of gamers will go. So basically if Sony goes any higher, it'll be like a kick to the crotch for their next generation standing in the great console war.

On a second note, Revolution will only be $200-299. It's so amazing. I can't get over how small and sleek it is.

link?

plus, the majority of gamers dont buy consoles at their launch price anyways

$399 is as much as I would ever pay for a game console

349.95

anything more than $300 is too much

Teuthida · 05-17-2005, 04:54 PM

^ Agreed.

Stonecutter · 05-17-2005, 05:22 PM

$499
Your crazy if you think I'm spending more than $500

That's the same answer.

I'd probably spend 300 on a launch system, but I'd have to think long and hard about it. I got cube at launch for 200, Xbox August 02 for 200 and bought my ps2 off a relative for 50 bucks, that's only 150 more than a new system and it netted me all 3.
