Re: IGN says PS3 might break you

Taken from an article over at Gamespot:


This guy thinks the PS3 could be under 400, and he is paid to do this kind of thing where as IGN really isn't. Whats my point? No one knows how much this thing will be except for Sony so just wait and see.

well all the 'experts' predicted the 360 would cost 250-300.... and then MS announces 400....

so we'll see. i cant believe Sony would sell it for more than 500

Re: IGN says PS3 might break you

The PS3 will not be under $400, I don't care how you slice it, no way. Maybe in 3 years it will be under $400.

I don't either. I say 400-500. At that price I would buy it. Also there is no way Sony would sell it for $800 or whatever that IGN article stated. No way. Like I said earlier i'm looking for a price range around $400-$500. If its lower than $400 i'll be shocked.

And I never would have believed Sony would put Malicious Spyware on an Audio CD. Sometimes that company has a few too many screws loose.

Re: IGN says PS3 might break you

i'm not buying a launch so, it doesn't matter what it sells for at launch. I figure i'll get it about that same time that I got the xbox which was about a year after launch.

When did Ivan Drago change his name to PS3?

That's what crossed my mind when I read the thread title.

I agree. Especially if Sony claims it to be more powerful than the 360 AND they will use Blu-Ray technology.

Personally, I don't see it under $500 and/or over $800.

Re: IGN says PS3 might break you

I hope it's not $800. I don't see how it could be. Actually I do but...

But it's not going to be $300. either.

Maybe in the middle, around $500. or so.

Re: IGN says PS3 might break you

I can just see everyone rushing to get a $800 PS3 as soon as it comes out........"NOT". If the PS3 does cost $800, then goodluck to Sony, I bet the system won't sell that much at that price. I don't care how mucg of a diehard Sony you are, thats a lot of money. Then Sony will turn around and say the HD is not included either.....lol

The Sony fan boys would easily pay 800.00 for the PS3.. The Xbox360 was selling for has high as 4,000 on Ebay, & someone bought it..But no casual gamer will spend 800 or 400 for a gaming console..

But seriously, 800 is very cheap for a next gen console & Blu ray HD DVD player.. The stand alone player will cost you at leasta grand.. Has multi HDMI support. Again, not cheap.

I know ppl cry about the cost but new technology is never cheap.. Id easily buy a PS3 for 800.00..

Re: IGN says PS3 might break you

It'll be $699($799 Candian) for the regular and $799($899 Candian) for the "media edition". Good luck with that,espically if it turns out there'll be no rentals or used games. I planned to wait for the 4th edition learning my lesson from the PS1,2 and what I heard about PSP to not buy Sony launch stuff but it'll probably about the 7th now when it cost $399.

Re: IGN says PS3 might break you

Sony isn't stupid enough to try and force the PS3 down our throats for more than $500. I'm sure they realize that if they want to compete with the 360, they'll have to take a major hit on the profitability of the PS3.

Re: IGN says PS3 might break you

Wasn't planning on getting a PS3, still not planning on it. :y4:

$800 is absurd, to me, it'd be a total waste of money.

Re: IGN says PS3 might break you

I guess we have to take this all with a grain of salt because we don't know what Sony will decide. I'm on record as saying if the thing ships with a BR drive at $500 it's a bargain and that's minus a HD. And I would buy it at that price.

Shhhh......TT...Bargain my behind. You're thinking inside that other type of box. No offense but ain't no system that much that's a freaking Bargain.

The Sony fan boys would easily pay 800.00 for the PS3.. The Xbox360 was selling for has high as 4,000 on Ebay, & someone bought it..But no casual gamer will spend 800 or 400 for a gaming console..

It's cheap, but seriously how many people are going to have the technology to use that multi-HDMI support or even utilize the 1080i and what have you? I mean, $800 sounds sweet but wait a few years and that'll be an outrageous price. Think about the price of the PS2 when it first launched and now. Would you buy a PS2 for the original launch price NOW?! I sure as heck wouldn't. Plus, Blu Ray might not even make it that long as a movie media format.

Definitely going to wait and see what that price is. If it's a reasonable one, then I'll dish out money. I don't see myself tossing out money for another next-gen until about 2 years after their launch. Want to make sure that I have a good system where the kinks are all out.

I'd be willing to bet quite a bit that by the time the PS3 comes out...blue-rays aren't even that popular. It took years for DVDs to completely replace VHS' and still some people have VCR's in their house, so I doubt blu-ray is gonig to be a huge selling point.

That's what I said about the 360.:y4:

Don't get me wrong, the 360 is somewhat impressive, but not worth the money they are charging for it right now. Not by a long shot. I think too many people bought into the hype too early and now there are regrets. I'm not saying everybody has regrets, but I do know people who wish they would have waited. And after reading OS'ers problems with the system, rushing out to get one is not appealing to me. I absolutely love my Xbox though. So no. I'm not a MS *****.

I think the PS3 will be pricy, yes, but for all the great technology inside it will be money well spent. I just wish Sony would start some pre-launch advertising before E3. And no, this wasn't to start a Sony/MS war as this topic was being discussed in previous posts.

That's what people said about HDTV's 3-4 years ago. Look how that turned out. It's exploding!
