Default Playstation 3 to launch under $500

Quote:
Japanese newspaper quotes Sony officials as saying they are aiming for a mid-level price point for the next-generation console.

After the impact of Monday's PlayStation 3 unveiling wore off, gamers began to start asking questions. Besides lingering doubts about whether or not many of the tech demos were actually of in-game footage, the biggest point of debate was the next-generation console's price.

Given that the console's Nvidia-tech-based RSX "Reality Synthesizer" graphics chip is more powerful than two GeForce 6800 Ultra video cards, which retail for around $1,000 by themselves, many suspected the console cost as least as much as a medium-end gaming PC. However, Sony will have to be competitively priced or risk being undercut by the Microsoft Xbox 360 or Nintendo Revolution.

Wow... we're looking at a possible $465.00 price tag

For me... I'm Sold...

For the absolutley amazing demos Sony has shown, that price is MORE than fair. I'd be willing to take it to $500 but I probably will be after getting some games and the addition of tax.

Well I've said it before... If it goes up to $465 max, I still won't mind getting it.

But I highly doubt it will go up that high... these are estimates and the console still isn't final to even begin to put a final price on it.

I agree with null on this... Probably $399 at most...
