The Price of Playstation 3

[GameMaster]

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

anything more than $300 is too much

[Teuthida]

^ Agreed.

$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.

The last answer "Your crazy if you think I'm spending more than $500" refers to a possibility that I may list $599 as another option.... so... in turn... people would say "Why are you even going up to that number??"

Therefore... it's not the same answer.
